An electronic basin tap with mini buttons for temperature and a solenoid valve, powered by four AA cells the maker states are not included.
The bottom line A genuine mixing sensor tap at a fair price, with an honest note about the batteries and one published figure that cannot be used.
An electronic infrared basin tap in chrome, with a solenoid valve, mini buttons for hot and cold, and four AA cells required but not supplied.
Batteries required, not supplied. Small, and the kind of thing usually discovered when the parcel is open.
Hot and cold supplies with buttons for the mix. That makes it a mixer rather than a single-temperature tap, which on this shelf is the difference between a bathroom basin and a cloakroom one.
The listing gives an overall height in centimetres that is evidently a typographical error — it would make the tap nearly two metres tall. Correcting a manufacturer’s number silently is exactly what this site does not do, so no height is reported.
Sensing range, run-on time and battery life: the three behaviours that decide whether a sensor tap is pleasant to live with.
On sale from 85 € to 90 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores at the time of checking.
Listed but with no offer on the British Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Because the figure in the listing is not credible as printed — it states an overall height in centimetres that would make the tap nearly two metres tall. Rather than silently correct a manufacturer's number, this site reports that no usable height is published.
The electrically operated valve that opens when the sensor sees a hand. It is the part that actually does the work in a sensor tap, and stating it is more useful than most of what appears on these listings.
Sensor tap · internal battery — stated · single supply, hot OR cold — stated · brass · 3/8 in connection
A battery sensor tap that states plainly what most of this shelf leaves you to discover: one hose, one supply, no mixing at all.
Best for: A cloakroom or a guest basin used for washing hands briefly, where mixing was never part of the plan.
≈ 82 €
Sensor tap · adjustable temperature limiter — stated · quick-fit system · chrome · successor model noted by the maker
A touchless tap with an adjustable temperature limiter — the specification that decides whether a sensor tap suits a bathroom rather than only a cloakroom — from a range the maker states has a successor.
Best for: A bathroom basin where touchless operation is wanted and cold-only would not be acceptable.
≈ £165 / 159 €
Sensor tap · 4 × AA batteries — stated · 10–20 cm sensing range — stated · solid brass · temperature button
The only sensor tap in this catalogue that publishes its sensing range, and one of the two that state how it is powered — 10 to 20 cm, on four AA cells.
Best for: A basin where touchless operation is wanted, temperature control is needed and no socket exists.
≈ £79 / 79 €
