Vidima Mixers

The guys are funny to hear about reviews of the use of mixers in 5 and even 10 years. In 2002, I installed Vidima faucets 3 pieces. In the kitchen Vidima-Sirius in the bathroom Vidima Seva-m and in the wash basin I do not remember the brand.

In December 2018, a faucet flowed in the kitchen. The guys are 16 years of excellent work. That is the quality. Without a doubt, if I find I buy in return the exact same faucet. And in the bathroom and in the washbasin the faucets still work.

Normal design. Budget price. Long term of work.

Not.

No Kaliningrad store has a repair kit for rubber seals on a vidima kitchen faucet. Not suitable from others. 1 mm less in diameter with regards to mixers with cartridges.

Quality

No parts

After 14 years of service drip - had to be replaced with another good mixer (warranty - 10 years). Immediately there was an overspending of water of 1-2 cubic meters from our usual norm. She burst into tears over the old faucet and took it for repair. Actually, the price of a new one in 2002 prices was paid. But now the pet has returned to his homeland. The reason for the repair was the use in extreme conditions - we shut off the water for a long time, and therefore some internal gaskets cracked. Yes, and even our water is super-hard, exceeding the standards.

I will give the highest rating to practicality. The presence of a network of service centers surprised me. If I found out about them earlier, I would not have to pay extra to local plumbers.

Nothing worth mentioning

He made repairs in the bathroom before giving birth to a son. Soon he is 9 years old! The first faucet was installed for the bath, after a couple of years I bought it in the kitchen and on the washbasin. In the first mixer, I changed the shower head this year. In the other two, slightly hot taps were flowing recently.

Durability

I can’t find crane boxes anywhere

Over the 6 years of operation, the Visima bathroom faucet proved to be very good, changed only one faucet to the axle box (leaked, to hot water), a shower hose, a gander. But then the shower switch began to leak and everyone “sailed”. Such a switch ("rubber sleeve") is currently not being produced, and its analogue costs 500-1400, which you will not find in my city (there are in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, etc.). Order in another city, via the Internet + 500-1000 more. Total, you can buy a new inexpensive mixer.

Reliable. Plain.

Separate spare parts (shower switch, axle box faucet) are very difficult to find and very expensive.

I can say with full confidence that for the Vidima Retro mixer installed in my kitchen, it is ideal in all respects. The design is not the most original, it looks quite rustic, but the quality is at the highest level, it is incredibly convenient to use, and this is much more important than the rest.

The factory produces faucets in Bulgaria, the quality of products is on the same level as German goods, but the cost is lower.
The case is made of brass, so there is no doubt in its strength, in addition, the mixer is durable, all the parts in it are reliable and do not become loose over time.

It is not difficult to care for him, I easily preserved his original appearance, wiping it with just a wet sponge sometimes.

The handles are made in a cross-shaped shape and are similar in design to the retro style, they can be rotated without difficulty.

high-quality, convenient, easy to clean, maintains its original appearance, inexpensive

perhaps the design is not the most interesting

The advertisement did the trick - I bought the Bulgarian mixer Vidima B2994AA. I twisted, inspected the store and was sure that my purchase was very rational - quality plus price.

I decided to install it myself. The shower hose is attached to the body, from its rear side at an angle of 450. It turns out that the hose bends abuts against the wall. It looks like a makeshift version of the mixer. If the hose suddenly breaks, then the entire mixer will have to be removed from the wall.

Dissatisfied with the "shower - faucet" switching system. With a low pressure of water, the button works, and you have to support it. And a month later I had to use the guarantee, which became the reason for my purchase. The tap flowed and the service center employee changed the gasket. If additional complaints arise regarding the operation of the mixer, then I will definitely hand it back.

Warranty and Appearance

Weak functionality

When buying plumbing, it is necessary to inspect not only the mixer, but also pay attention to the safety of the packaging. The fact is that first we bought a SevaDream mixer for ourselves, and then my husband bought the same model for friends for a housewarming party. Friends began problems after a month of operation. Later it turned out that the packaging bags were unsoldered, which means that the original hose and watering can were replaced with a fake.

I can say about our mixer that I am satisfied with a simple, but at the same time stylish design.Surface care is minimized since it is not “equipped” with recesses or complex lines. I wiped it with a cloth and the cleaning was finished. The length of the spout allows you to use it for the washbasin and bathtub. The watering can for the shower is probably covered with some kind of film from the appearance of plaque, since there was no need to clean it.

Attractive and high quality faucet

Not

When choosing a faucet for the bathroom, I was guided by such parameters as: functionality, quality and always antique styling. In the store, I noticed a nice, inexpensive faucet Vidima Retro. Later I learned that it was produced in Bulgaria.

The husband installed it in just a few minutes. The mixer is equipped with everything necessary for use and installation. I really like the smooth lines of the shower / tap lever and hot and cold water valves.
I note that the hot water valve heats up a little, the manufacturer could have thought through and corrected this drawback. With strong pressure, the mixer starts to make noise.

Stylish design. Equipment.

The need to install a coarse filter, as a ceramic crane-box reacts to mechanical impurities.
