Ranking Plumbing Manufacturers

Here's the little thread that helped (?) me form my opinion, for what little it is worth.

Based on this and the like I have read, a reasonable  ranking from best to less-best is:

Hansgrohe
Toto
Kohler
Delta, Moen
Grohe
American Standard
Danze

Comments:
Hansgrohe…very expensive, solid brass, etc.

Toto…most well known for super premium toilets

Kohler…super premium baths and sinks, but not necessarily the best operating valves or easily repaired mechanicals, therefore hated by some plumbers and former owners

Delta vs Moen…Delta makes top rated faucets and thermostatic valves often preferred by plumbers, while Moen makes decent valves using less plastic and more metal

Grohe similar to Delta, lots of plastic innards, but stylish

Danze…well represented at big box stores as one step above generic
