Is this is good faucet?

I asked this question last week and got no reply, so I thought I'd take another crack at it. The Home Depot Pegasus brand - is it any good? I mean, am I going to have to replace it after a couple of years? I have been looking at the double-handle bridge faucet. Thanks

Update:

Add: I've also been looking at Price Pfister, which I've heard is along the same lines as Moen - good, but not great.

    Make sure you get a faucet with a ceramic disc. Anything else wears out in a few years. (Moen products DO NOT have a ceramic disc!) The Pegasus brand does have a ceramic disc, so that's a plus. The link below shows some reviews at the Home Depot web site. I also posted that link to the Terry Love page, it's very helpful.

    Note: If you have very hard water, your faucets will corrode in a few years, no matter what kind you buy.

    HD has thier own brands like Glacier Bay. If Pegasus is another name they have I don't know. What I do know is that all thier brands are made in China. So you can check it on the box.

    As far as a sink faucet they are ok and you get your moneys worth.

    As for a shower or tub faucet I would stay away from them because of the labor in installation and later repair,,plus you probably can't get parts for these things.

    On tubs and showers I would get a usa name brand---but NOT at HD- BECAUSE they sell name brands made specifically for them---thats why they are so cheap---and you can't get parts for these either---unless you are willing to wait 6 months..

    In other words a KOHLER faucet at a plumbing supply house is A#1 grade and one at HD is a ''knock off''

    Do you see what I'm saying??

    I agree with marvin in part, and certainly it matters what the cost is, and that you realize that two years for the price, may be fair.

    Kohler and Moen make a quality product, but they cost accordingly. The issues they may have however can be more readily repaired as opposed to having to buy an entire, new Pegasus

    Does it come with a lifetime guarantee? If not buy another brand that does. A few pennies saved now could turn into dollars later. What is the old saying penny wise dollar foolish?
