hansgrohe Vernis Blend basin mixer 70, with pop-up waste review

A basin mixer that publishes its working height, its connection size and — unusually — that it suits an instantaneous water heater, which decides whether it can be used at all on that kind of supply.

The bottom line The tap you can actually specify: a working height, a connection size, and a supply compatibility. Everything it claims about flow is named rather than numbered.

What you are getting

A chrome single-lever basin mixer with a stated 70 mm clearance under the spout, AirPower aeration, a pop-up rod waste, and G3/8 connections at DN15.

Three published facts, and the third is the rare one

ComfortZone 70. The working clearance between spout and basin, named as a figure. That is what decides whether a hand fits under the tap.

G3/8 at DN15. The connection thread and the nominal bore, so the pipework under your basin can be checked in advance.

Suitable for an instantaneous water heater. Most listings say nothing about this, and it is the compatibility that makes a tap usable or useless on a supply fed by an instantaneous heater.

The claim that is named rather than numbered

AirPower. It is a technology name for aeration; it comes with no litres per minute and no pressure such a figure would be measured at. Reported as named.

What the price actually buys

Parts. Cartridges, aerators and wastes from this manufacturer are sold individually and stay available, which is the difference between repairing a tap and replacing it.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Publishes 70 mm of working clearance under the spout, as a named figure rather than a photograph
  • States G3/8 connections at DN15, so the pipework side is settled before the tap arrives
  • States suitability for an instantaneous water heater — a compatibility most listings leave you to find out

Compromises

  • AirPower is named without litres per minute or a reference pressure
  • No spout reach as a figure, and no body material stated
  • Twice the price of the entry taps in this hub, for published figures and parts availability rather than more mechanism

Questions people actually ask

What does "suitable for an instantaneous water heater" mean?

It means the tap can be used on that kind of supply, which not every mixer can. It is a genuine compatibility statement rather than a feature, and it saves a specific and expensive mistake in kitchens and cloakrooms fed that way.

What is AirPower?

The maker's name for air enrichment in the stream — an aerator, described as giving a fuller jet that splashes less. It is named without a flow figure, and this site reports the name rather than supplying a number.
