An open spout is louder, wetter, and harder to descale · review
A SUS304 stainless waterfall bathroom faucet in brushed nickel, supplied with a metal pop-up drain.
That is unusual, and it is the right place to start on this page, because the drain is the only thing on it stated as a fact rather than an adjective.
A metal pop-up stopper.
Five of the six faucets on this shelf include a drain. Only two say what it is made of, and they argue opposite cases.
RUMOSE supplies plastic, and defends it: the drain is made of plastic, so don’t worry about paint falling. That is a real argument — a painted metal drain chips at the rim where the plug seats, and matte black plastic is colored all the way through.
In brushed nickel, as here, metal is the better answer, because the finish is the metal and there is nothing to flake.
The heaviest faucet on this shelf: 3.7 lb (1,678 g), against 1,297 for the RUMOSE and 860 for the Airuida.
On a bathroom faucet, mass usually means solid metal in the body instead of a plated zinc or plastic shell, and SUS304 stainless is dense. It is not proof. A light faucet, though, is nearly always a thin one.
This is a standard-height faucet.
A vessel sink sits on top of the counter and lifts the water five or six inches. A 5.98 in (152 mm) faucet over one leaves nowhere to put your hands.
On this shelf the RUMOSE is 11.8 in (300 mm) and says plainly that it suits an above-counter sink, and the BWE is sold as a vessel sink faucet. For a drop-in or undermount bowl, this is the right height and those two are too tall.
No flow rate — the Airuida on this shelf publishes 1.2 GPM and nobody else publishes anything.
No cartridge described at all. Fransiton publishes 600,000 cycles, RUMOSE 500,000. This does not say whether the valve is ceramic.
No mounting hole size, which is what tells you whether the faucet fits the sink. Airuida publishes 0.98 to 1.57 inches; Fransiton 1.25 to 1.6.
No supply lines stated in the box, where three faucets here name theirs.
No warranty, where RUMOSE gives a limited lifetime at a dollar thirty-six more.
Five bullets, three of them about appearance. At $44.33 — against $26.99 for a complete Fransiton with a warranty — the drain and the weight are what you are paying for.

| Spout width | NOT PUBLISHED as a width. 4.02 × 2.01 × 5.98 in (102 × 51 × 152 mm), 1,678 g — THE HEAVIEST FAUCET ON THIS SHELF, nearly double the lightest here. |
|---|---|
| Spout drop | NOT PUBLISHED. The height is 5.98 in (152 mm), WHICH IS STANDARD SINK HEIGHT RATHER THAN VESSEL HEIGHT — so this is the one faucet on this shelf that will not clear a vessel sink. Installation 4 inch, and THE MOUNTING HOLE SIZE IS NOT PUBLISHED. |
| Aerator or flat screen | NOT STATED either way by the maker. |
| Flow rate | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER. |
| Cartridge | NOT DESCRIBED BY THE MAKER, and no cycle test is published — the only faucet on this shelf that says nothing at all about its valve, which is the part that fails. SUPPLY LINES ARE NOT STATED AS INCLUDED, though a sturdy metal pop-up stopper is. No warranty is published. |
| Body material | High quality SUS304 stainless steel, brushed nickel, anti-fingerprint, on a single knob control. |
| Amazon reference | B0BL1VBY6M |

A reasonable amount, and in the right direction. One thousand six hundred and seventy-eight grams is the heaviest faucet on this shelf — the Airuida is 30.3 oz (860 g) and the RUMOSE 2.9 lb (1,297 g) — and on a bathroom faucet mass generally means solid metal in the body rather than a plated zinc or plastic shell. SUS304 stainless is dense and the listing names it. It is not proof of anything, but a light faucet is almost always a thin one.
The two listings on this shelf that name their material argue opposite cases, and both have a point. Ultimate Unicorn supplies metal, which feels solid and lasts. RUMOSE supplies plastic and defends it: "the drain is made of plastic, so don’t worry about paint falling" — because a matte black plastic drain is colored through, where a painted metal one chips at the rim where the plug seats and then flakes. In brushed nickel, as here, metal is the better answer because the finish is the metal. In matte black, RUMOSE’s reasoning is sound.
No. At 5.98 in (152 mm) overall this is a standard bathroom faucet, designed to sit on a counter or a drop-in bowl where the water falls perhaps four inches. A vessel sink sits on top of the counter and raises the water level by five or six inches, so a standard faucet leaves no room to get your hands underneath. The RUMOSE on this shelf is 11.8 in (300 mm) and says explicitly that it suits an above-counter sink; the BWE is sold as a vessel sink faucet. Those are the two on this shelf for a raised bowl.
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
| Model | Price | Spout width | Spout drop | Aerator or flat screen | Flow rate |

| Ultimate Unicorn 4 in waterfall faucet | $44 | NOT PUBLISHED as a width. 4.02 × 2.01 × 5.98 in (102 × 51 × 152 mm), 1,678 g — THE HEAVIEST FAUCET ON THIS SHELF, nearly double the lightest here. | NOT PUBLISHED. The height is 5.98 in (152 mm), WHICH IS STANDARD SINK HEIGHT RATHER THAN VESSEL HEIGHT — so this is the one faucet on this shelf that will not clear a vessel sink. Installation 4 inch, and THE MOUNTING HOLE SIZE IS NOT PUBLISHED. | NOT STATED either way by the maker. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER. |
| AVSIILE LED glass waterfall faucet | $49 | A WIDE OPEN-GLASS WATERFALL, not published as a measurement. 6.30 × 5.51 × 7.09 in (160 × 140 × 180 mm). In the box: mounting hardware, hot and cold lines, a pop-up drain assembly and an optional deck plate; 1-hole, or 3-hole on 4 in centers with the included 6.3 in deck plate. | NOT PUBLISHED. What this faucet has that no other here does is a TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE LED powered by the water flow, with NO BATTERIES AND NO OUTLET: blue at 80 °F (26.7 °C) or below, green from 80 °F to 110 °F (26.7 °C to 43.3 °C), red at 110 °F (43.3 °C) or above. | AERATED, and the maker states 30% of water can be saved. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER — which sits oddly beside a stated 30% saving, since a saving is a claim about a flow rate. |
| RUMOSE tall waterfall vessel faucet | $38 | ULTRA-WIDE AND TALL, per the maker, but not published as a measurement. 1.77 × 6.50 × 11.8 in (45 × 165 × 300 mm), 1,297 g. | 300 MM TALL — the tallest published height on this shelf, for an above-counter sink, and twice the 5.98 in (152 mm) of the one faucet here built for a standard sink. Single hole, stated at 10 minutes with all parts and instructions included. THE MOUNTING HOLE SIZE AND THE SUPPLY CONNECTION ARE NOT SPECIFIED by the maker. | NOT STATED AS AERATED OR LAMINAR — which on a tall waterfall spout decides whether it splashes out of the bowl. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER. |
| Fransiton waterfall faucet, black | $27 | NOT PUBLISHED as a width — a waterfall spout on a single handle, 11 × 11 × 2.95 in (280 × 280 × 75 mm). | NOT PUBLISHED, and NEITHER IS THE HEIGHT, so how far above the sink the sheet of water starts is not established. What this listing does publish, alone on this shelf, is the deck it fits: a mounting hole of 1.25 to 1.6 in diameter and A MAXIMUM DECK THICKNESS OF 1.85 IN — the only deck thickness here, and the figure that decides whether the threads reach through a stone top. | NOT STATED either way by the maker. | NOT PUBLISHED BY THE MAKER. |
