American Standard is a leading bathroom manufacturer in North America, the inventor of the ceramic spool in the single-lever mixing valve, which began to produce bathroom equipment as early as 1875, and was once the world's largest bathtub manufacturer, and its bathroom products have good water-saving performance. As the first international bathroom brand to enter the Chinese market, American Standard once became the foreign brand with the highest market share in the domestic bathroom market, and was deeply loved by consumers. However, the American Standard has had management problems in China, which has affected quality control and reputation, and there are many counterfeit products in the market. At present, American Standard has improved its operations, management and marketing methods under LIXIL.
 
American Standard has invested 25 years in the research and development of the net lead process, which uses permanent metal casting molds and bismuth instead of lead, and has a lead content of less than 11 ppb with Lead-Free 2009 certification. American standard showers use ceramic spool technology, constant temperature technology and other first-line brand standard technology, some of its products also won the first place in the "single-function shower" category of the United States "Consumer Reports", but the report has little reference value for the Chinese market, and most of the top products are 2.5gpm flow specifications, which are not very suitable for the Chinese market.
 
Among the domestic products, the top spray can choose FFASS051-006500BC0, with a diameter of 200mm, which belongs to a small area of top spray, but the amount of water will be more concentrated, and the price is cheaper than similar products FFASS052-006500BC0 (diameter of 230mm), more importantly, its wedge-shaped rubber nozzle will be easier to clean than ordinary easy-to-clean showers, which is very important for the top spray that cannot be moved. With a five-function handheld sprinkler head FFAS9H10-000500BC and a 60 copper ceramic core shower faucet, the price is about 1400 yuan, which is about 200 yuan more expensive than other similar packages online, but the faucet and handheld sprinkler are more powerful and more cost-effective.
