Shifter faucet lets you change gears as you do the dishes
This is a classy-looking faucet, but it brings along a design twist as well: a shifter. Yes, the object that you use to change gears in your car, magically transplanted into your bathroom.
It works but allowing you to shift up the amount of water coming out of the faucet. It's a nice idea for people looking to conserve water by staying in lower "gears," but it's not clear how you control the temperature as well, which makes the whole thing kind of questionable. After all, who cares how good it looks if you can only get cold water out of it?

If you compare it to a regular faucet, then the vertical sections are from OFF at the bottom to fully ON at the top, and HOT on the left and COLD on the right. However, what isn't clear is how you'd get a strong (fully on) stream of water in anything but warm (halfway between hot and cold). Bizarre!

FAKE!!!!
This is a total photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
The is exactly like that scene from the movie Never Back Down where Baja and Max purchase a 'fixer upper' home for a great price, but then suffer from a comedy of errors when renovating the home to normal living conditions.
At one point Max is filling a bath tub with hot water upstairs so he can clean her after devouring bacon flavored ice cream from her naked chest, but the bath tub falls through the floor and explodes on the first floor!
They both laugh and realize the shifter on the faucet was set too high. There was also a moped parked outside.

Hey... if it gets my boyfriend to do more dishes, I'm all for it ;-)
Seriously, who cares if it looks ridiculous?

Daisy,
It is clearly a design type picure. You can tell by the water that it isnt a real picture. Its just showing what it would look like.
