Default Kitchen tap recommendation

Anyone care to recommend a single lever, monobloc kitchen tap.
Preferably brushed steel or chrome and preferably not needing a second
mortgage to pay for it!

TIA

The late Andy Hall recommended I check out Hansgrohe for a monobloc tap for
a downstairs toilet.
These are top quality items IMHO.
So I got the web price and went to a local showroom - managed to get the one
I wanted for about £70.
Plumb Centre et al wanted £100+ for much shoddier stuff.
The Hansgrohe web site does take a bit of wading through but it contains
dimensioned drawings and all sorts so well worth it.
I'd be surprised if you didn't find something good there.

I think this comes down to personal choice, there's so many different
styles to choose from.
Try http://www.taps4less.com/index.html. I've used them a couple of
times with no problems and they seem to be amongst the best in terms
of value.

We got a Hansgrohe tap for our kitchen after having two very cheap
taps, went to local plumbing merchant and asked what was the best tap
they had and they recommended a Hansgrohe. We've had it for a year now
without problems but it is too early to say if it is reliable. It does
seem very solid though.

I've fitted 6 or so kitchen taps from Screwfix in the last year, from
£27 up to £60. All have been excellent, far better than I expected at
the price.
The bathroom taps from Argos that I fitted this week are not so good, so
I would avoid them.
