Kohler outpaces all other brands, garnering six of the 15 Best Buy seals awarded KOHLER, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impressed by their superior design, advanced technology and practical utility, Consumers Digest magazine awarded six Kohler Co. products with the coveted Best Buy seals of product excellence when reviewing kitchen faucets and sinks. A total of 15 products received this award, with Kohler products outnumbering all other brands featured. The Best Buy designation is widely recognized by consumers to mean road-tested quality and a product that offers outstanding value for its price. Among the six Best Buy products listed by the magazine is the KOHLER Indio™ enameled cast iron kitchen sink line, which was recognized especially for the line’s corresponding accessories, such as the stainless steel colander and fitted cutting board. “The smart integration of these accessories makes this line the most functional cast iron sink that we found,” remarked the magazine’s editors. The KOHLER Langlade® self-rimming cast iron sinks were also listed as Best Buys, with the Consumers Digest editors touting the versatility of its “generous 9-inch-deep bowl” and the extensive selection of colors offered, “the most available at this price.” The KOHLER Delafield® self-rimming cast iron sinks were also praised and noted for their durable construction. The tough cast iron design “means you won’t sacrifice quality when compared with other economy sinks that are typically made of stainless steel,” commented the editors. Also included is the entire STERLING Southhaven® stainless steel kitchen sink line. The magazine praises this collection for its “versatile selection of configurations and sizes” and adds that this variety, along with the STERLING lifetime warranty, “lift it above other 20-gauge models that are in this price range.” The sixth Kohler item to be honored with a Best Buy designation was the KOHLER Torq® deck-mount kitchen faucet, with Consumers Digest editors extolling the benefits of its “extended lever handles” with “large grip areas,” and concluding by saying that “The Torq’s ease of use sets it apart from its competitors.”
