My 2 cents :-) 1. I donÂt have sink grids but would like to. When I drain a pot, it would be nice to have the colander off the bottom of the sink. I also think it would help prevent scratches. 2. Always had a garbage disposal and would not want to be without a powerful one. My last house had a single basin sink, but this one has a double and the disposal is only on one side. I sure wish it was on both sides! 3. My last house was designed with two 15" trash pullouts under the sink. Because it was designed that way, it was easy to install the pipes out of the way. We had the disposal in the middle of the sink  no problem. IMO, trash belongs under the sink. I know that not everyone agrees with me but it has always had me scratching my head wondering why. I did not want to give up base cabinet space for trash and there is plenty of space below the sink that would otherwise be wasted. The house we moved to can not accommodate the trash under the sink because of the pipes  but when we remodel, we will remedy this. Also  my cans were the tall kitchen trash cans you can buy at Target. They could be removed and placed anywhere in the kitchen that I needed them to be. So if I had someone helping me peel potatoes for example, I simply moved the trash can to the chair where that person was sitting. I really think this is the *best* setup. There is also plenty of room for the other under sink items such as gloves, sponges, dishwasher & dish soaps, etc. And, all of these things are easy to access because they are in pullouts. 4. We did undermount and will probably do that again for the reasons you gave. 5. I donÂt have plugmold so it is possible that I would not like it but I doubt it. You say you can see it? I find that hard to believe if you have a light rail and light  which I would have. There are many times that I would like to use an appliance in a particular location but canÂt because of where the plug is located. Plugmold would be wonderful IMO. As discussed here before, if you know you will have appliances always plugged in and you know where those appliances will live, the best of both worlds would be to put a regular plug at that location. 6. I donÂt have a Tapmaster and though I am seriously intrigued, IÂm not sure we will ever get one. IÂve watched how I do things and it is not a problem for me to turn the faucet on with hands full of gunk  I have the lever type faucet. I can see where turn knobs might be a problem.

My one claim to fame on this forum is that I was the one who introduced the Tapmaster here when we remodeled our kitchen in 2001. (So many GW readers bought them, the company sent me a box of chocolates.) Besides the things mentioned above, one thing I don't like about motion sensor faucets, especially in the kitchen, is that you can start the water running when you don't want it, when you're putting something into or taking something out of the sink. I would have a soggy sleeve all the time. And I could spoil things I was cooking sometimes, like, when I put a pot of something like a custard into a cold water bath in the sink, or just slow myself down, like if it were a colander full of something I was draining. And I would find it very annoying not to be able to use the sink during a power outage. Or is there an override of some sort? Also, does the Moen have a feature like the Tapmaster that allows you to lock it in the on position -- i.e., make the faucet act as if there were no Tapmaster? I find that very useful both when I am filling a big pot and when there are a lot of guests.

I've had a TM and liked it so I'm biased in favor of something I know works. I haven't tried the others so they frighten me. :) Mechanically the TM is simple. There's not much to fail and if it does fail, you can probably figure out what it is. No electronics. You can use the TM with any faucet, pretty ones or modern ones or ugly ones or cheap ones you pick up on the curb. So for appearances, it's a lot easier to find something that matches your kitchen if you can purchase the faucet separately from the mechanism. I'd be worried that a motion detecting faucet would be as annoying as the ones in public restrooms and that with all the odd motions that go on under a kitchen faucet, it might not read my mind correctly. I'm probably totally wrong on this and will follow this thread to see how these newer devices are working out in kitchens.

It's however your faucet works. If you have a faucet that locks into spray with the water off, it'll work the same way with the Tapmaster. If your faucet returns to regular flow when the water is off, it'll do that when you turn off the Tapmaster. All the Tapmaster does is on and off.
