Altered Company AN-01 Nozzle Atomizing Water Saving Tap Aerator Faucet with Mist Mode - 98% Less Water

Great concept and beautiful product. The 85% mode works good for doing the dishes. The 98% mode looks great in the video but it’s not practical to use in our kitchen at least. Best in a kitchen where you have a water filter so that it doesn’t create an issue when you simple want a glass of water

Works only with large sinks, otherwise the whole countertop, the surrounding walls and the clothes of the person using the tap get all wet from the water mist. It proved impractical - I had to return it.

Brilliant product, but cant use cos of insufficient water pressure.

Great product, but it doesn’t fit all taps too well. Needed to get a few different washers etc to stop it from leaking.

Don't get me wrong - this is a very finely and precisely machined product that works just as advertised. It cuts down the flow of water and atomizes it to a fine mist or a pressured spray.The problem with the mist is that it's only really useful for getting things evenly wet. If you need a tiny bit of dampness spread over a rag / cleaning cloth, it's great for that. But if you need to rinse anything like vegetables, you need pressure and flow. The mist has none of that. If you wash your hands, you get your hands wet and lathered in no time, but rinsing off the soap after washing takes really long. You'll need to start rinsing your hands already halfway through the wash.The spray mode is quite piercing. It hits the bottom of the sink hard and sprinkles onto you if you don't watch out. It can dislodge toothpaste off a toothbrush or peanut butter off a knife for sure, but the flow is still reduced. If you need a glass of water, it just takes longer to fill. Also the spray is very narrow, where a wider spray would be more useful for rinsing and washing. If you twist the nozzle adjustment so far it almost comes loose you get a wider spray but this does not seem to be a designed feature.Verdict: You're better off with a basic aerator, or one of those more common aerator-spray combo nozzles. Alterd:nozzle is only useful where water is severely limited, such as in caravans trains or airplane toilets.
