Motorcycle faucet

Passionate bikers can now bring the feel of the road into the bathroom. The MFX Classic faucet features motorcycle handlebars as taps and a motorcycle tank as the spout.

The faucet can be installed on any 4" on-center sink. Or, with the help of a plumber, the faucet can be adapted to fit most other sink configurations.


Hands free faucet

If you've been impressed with the automatic faucets in public restrooms, you can get the same convenience at home.

The EZFaucet can attach to your existing faucet and is turned on or off when an infrared sensor detects movemenmt.

EZFaucet claims you can save up to 70% on water usage due to the reduction in water use when people are soaping up, lathering and drying their hands.


Understanding faucet prices

It can be puzzling to look at the array of faucets in the hardware store and try to pick out the best one. Prices are all over the place, but there is a reason for that. Although many faucets look alike, they're not created equal on the inside. Faucets made of better materials, such as copper or brass, will carry a higher price. But they also offer better performance and a longer life.

Styling can also effect the price. Just like you will pay extra for a flashy new car, you will see the prices of the more stylish lines are higher than their more humble cousins. But you can also expect that the flashy designs carry top-rate parts. So take a close look at what you're paying for and make sure you do spend a little extra to get a durable fixture.

Hansa LED faucets

These wonderful fixtures by Germany's Hansa have embeded LEDs that change color from red to blue according to the water temperature (via Engadget). This may seem a little eccentric, but we love the esthetics of the design.
