November 7th, 2023
In the realm of kitchen design, innovation knows no bounds. hansgrohe, a pioneer in the world of kitchen faucets, introduces a true game-changer in culinary convenience, the Aquno Select M81. With its unconventional product design, state-of-the-art spray technology, and tailored accessories, the Aquno Select M81 sets a new standard for those who view cooking as an art form.
The Aquno Select M81 is a part of hansgrohe’s Aquno integrated system, a concept designed to revolutionise water interaction in the kitchen. Featuring a trio of innovative spray modes and functions, this system caters to every culinary task.

The laminar and shower spray modes in the pull-down spout is complemented by the groundbreaking SatinFlow spray mode, which flows from the integrated base unit. The latter’s gentle, waterfall-like flow is made possible with numerous individual jets, ensuring a splash-free and even distribution of water over food, hands and kitchen tools. This also makes it perfect for washing delicate fruits and vegetables.

To further streamline workflow at the sink, the Aquno Select M81 comes with a multifunctional sieve that fits perfectly beneath the wide spray. Simply leave washed produce in it to drip dry, eliminating unnecessary clean-up while freeing up counter space.

One of the remarkable aspects of the Aquno Select M81 is its water-saving capabilities. The SatinFlow mode consumes a mere four litres per minute, On the other hand, the laminar jet of the pull-down spout has a flow rate of seven litres per minute, enabling quick pot-filling and efficient hand rinsing without wasting water. Its drop-shaped spray mode is perfect for rinsing more substantial foods and washing dishes between uses.

The faucet’s pull-down spout also offers an impressive operating range of up to 76 centimetres, providing unparalleled freedom of movement. Tasks like filling water into a coffee machine positioned farther away is now made possible.

Since 85 to 90 per cent of people are right-handed, according to scientists, the single lever handle is positioned on the right of the faucet. The Select button finds its place on the left, allowing users to control the spray modes of the pull-down spout.

In addition to its exceptional functionality, the sleek design of Aquno Select M81 makes it an ideal choice in any kitchen environment. There are two variants to choose from: one with a linear design and an L-shaped spout, and the other with a striking high-arc spout. The high-arc spout adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen, perfectly blending rectangular and circular shapes.
