Best brands of thermostatic valves

[Angelique]

Which are the best-performing, most reliable thermostatic valves? One of our large plumbing supply companies says Grohe is the best of the lines they carry (including brands that are more expensive than Grohe) but I'm very unhappy with the Grohe trim choices. Does anyone recommend any other companies through personal experience?

From my experience Grohe holds up great and are very reliable. The draw back is cost of repairs and finding someone that can work on the fixture efficiently.

Try hans grohe or you could just go with a moen positemp valve. They are reliable and easy to work on
