Just installed this fancy new faucet in my bathroom, and honestly, kinda regretting it. Looks great, but the water pressure is meh, and it splashes everywhere. Anyone else had this issue or did I just pick the wrong one?
Been there, done that. I remember splurging on this sleek, ultra-modern faucet a couple years back—looked amazing in the showroom, but once installed, it was like washing my hands under a sad drizzle. And yeah, the splash zone was ridiculous... felt like I needed rain boots just to brush my teeth. Ended up swapping out the aerator for one with better flow control, and it made a huge difference. Might wanna give that a shot before giving up completely.
Totally get the frustration—modern faucets can be hit or miss, especially when it comes to functionality. Did you check the faucet height and sink depth combo before buying? Sometimes, sleek designs overlook practical stuff like distance between spout and basin, which can cause that dreaded splashback you're describing. Also, was the original aerator labeled as water-saving or low-flow? Those can be great environmentally but sometimes sacrifice comfort and usability. Glad swapping the aerator helped—it's usually a simple fix that makes a huge difference. And honestly, good on you for troubleshooting instead of just ripping the whole thing out... fixtures can be finicky, but tweaking small components often does the trick.
Interesting point about the aerators, but honestly, I've had better luck with the water-saving ones. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't it feel like the higher pressure from regular aerators actually causes more splashback sometimes? Curious if anyone else noticed this...

Had a similar issue when we moved into our new place. Thought the fancy fixtures would be worth it, but yeah, the splashing drove me crazy for weeks. Switched to a water-saving aerator after reading some reviews, and honestly, it helped a lot. Pressure feels decent enough, and the sink stays way cleaner. Might not be perfect for everyone, but I'd say it's worth trying before swapping out the whole faucet.
