Moen Faucets
Comments (7)We have installed the Moen Kingsley set in our just-remodeled master bathroom - faucets, towel rods, t.p. holder, shower, grab bars. It's a very handsome and sturdy design. The faucets are single handle and work perfectly. Both our plumber and our GC commented on how well-made the pieces are. BTW, the Moen Kingsley t.p. holder is a new design, very clever and so simple. The bar that holds the paper swings up, you remove the old roll and slip on the new one, and swing the bar down and it clicks into place. No more springs rolling across the floor and no way the paper roll can slip off. Why did it take 100 years to figure this one out? : > )...See MoreReplacing Moen shower/tub faucet with another Moen
Comments (1)Replacing the whole unit will certainly require wall repair. You can probably replace only the cartridge instead....See MoreWhich faucet (kitchen) - Kohler, Grohe or Moen?
Comments (14)We're renovating our kitchen and I just paid for 3 kitchen faucets today! One for the main sink--a whitehaven like yours--one for the large prep sink and one for a small pantry sink. After a pile of research and talking with contractors, dealers, and salespeople, we settled on Kohler for the two kitchen sinks and a lesser known brand for the pantry. We went with the kohler bellera--a different style, not trying to suggest it--but it was only $400 (Cdn, too, cheaper in the US, I'm sure). Basically what we heard was that all of these are good brands. All of these companies have good customer service and good warranties. All of them make cheaper versions of their faucets for big box stores, and those cheaper price points mean more plastic parts rather than metal ones. We are big cooks and have had to replace a lot of $200 faucets, so we were quite willing to spend $400 on something that should last a long time, although we weren't willing to spend $800! Plumbers like Moen (which we have done in our bathrooms) because parts are easy to get and easy to replace. But this is because the parts need replacing regularly! Kohler has a lifetime warrantee not just on the cartridges, but on everything, including the finish. You have to call them for parts; the plumber thinks that's a pain, but Kohler will ship within 24hrs, all for free. Grohe is now owned by the same company that owns Delta, etc, and I have heard the quality has gone down. Personally I didn't think it was worth paying a premium for. I love the Kohler faucet you posted--don't know how I missed that one! :) My one caution/ concern is to check the height. I don't know what the rule of thumb is, bit we found that taller faucets just end up splashīng and overpowering regular sinks. The industrial faucets were originally designed for the massive, deep commercial restaurant sinks and I was nervous about some of the towering ones we saw. Hope that's helpful!...See MoreRO Faucet to match Moen Brushed Gold Kitchen Faucet
Comments (2)I guess because gold faucets are just no selling enough to warrant the expense My advice put the RO water through the fridge water dispensor if you have one and forget the tap on the counter and save a hole in the counter too..I could not find a wter dispense that matched my fuacet so went with as close as possible but not gold of course.Kraus makes a gold one I have Kraus faucets and I love them we had a small issue it was taken care of very quickly and the customer service was excellent .BTW I know Kraus is made in China but so are lots of Moens too...See Morebooboo60
