The Best Kitchen Faucet For Your Home

Delta is long known to produce some of the best kitchen and bath fixtures in the business, mostly because they use high end materials. You will notice right away how heavy this faucet is, letting you see that it will last for years, and probably outlast the house. The pull out faucet is easy to draw and return, and will attach magnetically back in place when you retract the hose. The choice of hot and cold water is along a spectrum, so that you can maneuver the faucet handle smoothly between temperatures, until you find the right one. Switching from stream to spray can be done with one hand, and then slid back into position smoothly, and with ease. If you are handy you can probably install this Delta model yourself, but as long as you are going high end, why not let a plumber do it.

Like the other pull down faucets, this one comes with a national brand name, Moen; as well as all the features you would expect from the average pull down faucet including a ‘pause’ button on the side of it. The switch allows you to toggle between stream and spray, as well as pause the water stream altogether. This is a nice feature if you are filling pots, or watering a plant, and is one little feature you won’t find on the other pull down faucets. The retractable hose has a weight on it, allowing it to pull itself back into position after use. This is nice if you have kids that are not so careful about putting things back. The location of the weight is adjustable so that you will be able to adjust this retraction tension as you like.

This is another Delta model faucet that incorporates their unique, patented ‘Diamond Technology’. Diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, for this reason Delta has chosen to incorporate diamonds into their own patented valve system that has a diamond coating, making if strong enough to outlast all their competitors. It will also keep the water inside the faucet, and away from the surrounding metal components, limiting contamination. The pull down faucet system integrates a stream of water, a spray stream of water, and a way to switch between the two with ease, making this model easy to use when you need to fill a large pot, or water plants outside the sink. When finished, the faucet will cradle back into the neck and dock there smoothly and remain secured. If you are handy, you should be able to install this new faucet yourself in less than 30-minutes. This faucet also has a nice looking bell shaped curve to it, giving your new faucet a contemporary look as well as form and function.

This particular model is designed for commercial use, but looks great in your kitchen, too. Easy to use, it sports a 9-inch, single handle faucet so that you will be able to fit a large pot or bucket underneath without having to tip it on removal, losing some of your water. Because it is wall mounted, you will also be able to mount it as high as you like in case you are looking for something more specific. Made from durable brass on the inside, and polished chrome on the outside, this faucet will clean up nicely and stay looking new for years. Temperatures are controlled with a 180-degree single handle that you will be able to adjust to your liking, as you push or pull the faucet on and off. Because it is designed for both commercial and residential use, you will be able to get a very generous 2.2-gallon per minute water flow rate, making this one of the fastest water supplies you will ever see in a kitchen. Mounted through two holes in the wall, any competent plumber will be able to run his lines through the wall instead of the floor, so you can have that great, seamless look while leaving your floor space free and clear. Many people like this design because it allows them to have free-floating sink for a contemporary look.

This kitchen faucet has some of the cleanest lines to be found.

Kohler’s Motion Detecting sink faucet for the kitchen is a great idea whose time has come. We have all seen these in public restrooms, but to find one in your own kitchen is a very welcome addition. A cone shaped beam of light runs from the bottom of the faucet, out about 6-inches as it is searching for movement. All you have to do is wave your hand or anything else to break this beam, and the faucet comes on, according to the last temperature that was set. This sensor responds in 20 milliseconds or less, and when finished, your new faucet is smart enough to turn itself back off. Touch less operation for faster, easier work that saves water in the process. No more spreading bacteria around your kitchen, and counter tops. You can operate hands free at your sink without giving the water flow another thought. The retractable spray head has a 26-inch hose that retracts easily, with a balanced tension, so you won’t have to wrestle with it, trying to get the hose back into position. Once there, the spray head will lock itself into place with a magnetic attraction and then stay there until needed again. The dual action spray head will switch from spray to stream without having to turn off, making this another time and water saving feature that adds to the value of this faucet.

Built with solid brass, it feels very heavy reminding you that this model was built for durability. The Arctic Stainless Steel used in the coating has a ‘blu-hue’ to it that sets it apart from other stainless steel finishes. It is strong and easy to clean, but adds a unique look that regular stainless doesn’t have. It is more than just a pretty name. The pull out faucet head will easily retract, and stay in place with a magnetic feature so you won’t have to be concerned if it will start to slip from position over the years, as other faucets tend to do. Installing this faucet is simple, and comes with well documented instructions, written by someone whose first language is English, so no more trying to decipher translated Chinese.
