Kartell K-VIT Mirage Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Chrome (TAP250MI)

Kartell K-VIT Mirage Mono Basin Mixer with Click Waste – Chrome (TAP250MI)

The Kartell K-VIT Mirage range is slim, softly curved and understated — a rounded body with a single lever, in polished chrome. Kartell describe it as creating "an air of calm with its curvaceous design", and that is about right: it is the range to pick when you want the taps to settle into the room rather than announce themselves.

This is the mono basin mixer, and it comes complete with a matching click waste.

Light on its feet

At 0.77kg this is one of the lightest basin mixers Kartell make — worth being straight about what that means. Lighter brassware feels less substantial in the hand than something like Klassique at more than double the weight. That isn't a fault at this price and the mechanism is the same ceramic disc cartridge used throughout the range, but if you want a tap that feels weighty when you turn it, Mirage isn't that tap.

What you get instead is a slim profile that suits a small basin or a cloakroom without crowding it.

Water pressure

Suitable for low pressure systems, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing — a tank in the loft and a hot cylinder — as well as combi and mains pressure.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement of the lever, and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.

Polished chrome on a plain rounded body is the easiest combination to keep clean — no corners for limescale to collect in, and a wipe with a soft cloth is all it needs. Avoid abrasives and don't leave descaler to soak.

The rest of the Mirage range

The range also includes a mini mono basin mixer with click waste, a bath filler and a bath shower mixer.
