Well, I just found this via another GW link as I was curious.

Don't personally have one, but it sure is dramatic!

suzienj,

I'm in the midst of redoing our kitchen and have the Moen Medora in black.

http://www.moen.com/pressroom/pressRelease.cfm?release=1447

So far, so good. Two notes: apparently Moen was receiving complaints that turning the faucet side to side in the sink (not pulling it down, still connected) was too difficult. So they made it a bit looser. I'm getting used to it, but I did call and ask if that was normal or if it could be tightened.

Second - if you are going for a soap dispenser to match, the Moen black dispenser to go with this faucet has a short reach. I like to pump the soap into the sink and it just barely makes it - actually runs down the bottom part of the sink. Had I added that to the other million things I was trying to make sure would work properly, I would have moved it up 1/4-1/2 inch.

And... Think about your drain. Most disposals (if you're getting one) come with chrome. Black is a special order and was kind of a pain to find.

I can try to post when the kitchen is done if that helps but it's a black granite counter, with a black Blanco supersingle, a black Moen faucet/soap dispenser and a black air switch. And no, I'm not a vampire:)

Ribbon neck faucet anyone have one?

We've got the kitchen version D404244 & have had it in 1 1/2 years. There's never been a splash problem although our sink is very deep. It is well made even though it is manufactured in China. Danze hides that little fact. Installation was a breeze. The finish is strong & cleans up well. Right now I'm in a bathroom remodel & will be using Danze again (different style & finish). The only thing that I could warn you about is the faucet edge. If you had a little one playing rubber ducky in the sink, there could be a slight chance of a cut finger on that faucet.

I went to a kitchen store to look at Danze faucets, and found a nice Artisan one, but when I came here to research it I did several searches that came up empty.

faucet off to one side -- anyone have this?

Hi, I just went thru this exact same problem on Monday. The granite guy and the plumber were both at my townhouse. I had the same type of sink except it was an Elkay ELU 2118 (D shaped). The faucet I ordered, a Brizo Floriano has a 3 inch base and requires 2" for the operating handle to move back. The sink is approximately 20" wide and my KD wanted me to have a granite backsplash (which would take up an inch from the faucet handle). Sherilynn on this web site happened to mention how that faucet wouldn't work with a granite backsplash. Thanks to her tip, I had the plumber and the granite guy try out the configuration. Just like what you're going thru now, the faucet mounted in the center wouldn't work with that sink. The only way to make everything work is if I mounted the faucet on the side front corner. Unfortunately, I'm way too sloppy when I do dishes and I would have water all over the place. Not to mention that I planned cork floors in the kitchen. I spent all day Tuesday looking for a comparable sink that would be more rectangular (21" x !5") and that I could get ASAP as the fabricator is ready to install the granite now. That is how I resolved that problem. But it cost me $200 between getting a new sink and returning the other sink. I'm also pretty mad at my KD for not alerting me to this problem. Once again the GW forum has put my KD to shame. Although the KD is adamant that the faucet has a big enough arch that dish washing with the faucet on the side wouldn't be a problem. For me this configuration wouldn't work. But hopefully your faucet will have a big enough arch that it won't matter for you. Aren't these last minute problems stressful? Best of luck! Karen

Kohler Karbon kitchen faucet: Does anyone have one?
Q

I do have a Karbon. Wall-mounted. Love it. I looked all over for a soap dispenser that wouldn't argue with the Karbon. We just put this one in. It looks good, but its operation seems to be to be a bit stiff. This saves on soap though. :) My last soap dispenser gushed at the slightest pressure. Sorry but I still don't have a working camera to show you how it looks with the Karbon. :( rc Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler K1995 soap dispenser

I did both! I have a lot of stainless w/black stuff in the kitchen already- stove, fridge, coffeemakers, kettle, toasteroven- so this faucet fit right in.

sorry to hijack this but katrine...did you find a black flange for your sink? Where did you find it and is it black all the way through or just a black coating? I'm looking for a black one for my siligranite anthracite because the ORB one I bought to match my faucet peeled and flaked in less than a year.

thanks!

My sink will be the black Silgranit with Grohe Ladylux Plus SS with black head faucet; strainer will be SS and soap dispenser will be SS; air switch will be black so it doesn't stick out on the black Silestone counter. I think a little contrast looks nice.
