The height is set by your bowl, not by taste · review
hansgrohe Vernis Blend basin mixer 190, without waste review
A tall mixer that publishes 190 mm of clearance under the spout, states its connection size, and says it suits an instantaneous water heater — three facts that let it be specified rather than hoped at.
The bottom line The mid-height tall tap you can specify before buying. It arrives without a waste, and its flow claim is a name rather than a number.
What you are getting
A tall chrome single-lever basin mixer with a stated 190 mm clearance under the spout, AirPower aeration, G3/8 connections at DN15, and no waste in the box.
Why the published clearance is the review
A tall tap exists to clear the rim of a bowl standing on the worktop, and the maker states this figure specifically for a free-standing bowl. Rim height plus a few centimetres of clearance is the arithmetic, and it is only possible when the number exists.
The compatibility worth noticing
Suitable for an instantaneous water heater. Most listings say nothing either way, and on a supply fed that way it is the difference between a tap that works and one that does not.
What arrives, and what does not
No waste. That is normal at this level, and which waste you need is decided by your basin’s overflow rather than by the tap.
What the price buys beyond the box
Cartridges, aerators and seals sold individually and available for years.

Questions people actually ask
Is 190 mm tall enough for my bowl?
Measure the rim height and allow a few centimetres of clearance. A 150 mm rim works comfortably under 190 mm; a 180 mm rim does not. The maker states the figure is intended for a free-standing bowl, which is what this family is for.
Which waste do I need with it?
That depends on your basin, not on the tap. A basin with an overflow needs a slotted waste; one without needs unslotted. Look inside for the small hole near the rim.
Tall basin mixer · lead-free 304 stainless stated · spout and body both rotate 360° · ceramic cartridge, 500 000 cycles
A tall chrome mixer in stated lead-free 304 stainless whose body rotates as well as its spout, with a cartridge the maker states has passed 500 000 cycles.
Best for: A bowl reached from two sides, where the extra movement is genuinely used and the rim height is modest.

Best for: A countertop bowl whose rim height is known, in a bathroom where the finish is period rather than modern.
