Pull-down vs. pull-out faucets
Comments (5)I knew right off the bat that I needed a pull down and not a pull out. It just felt right in my hand (YOU ARE SO RIGHT DIVAMUM!;)). And I have arthritis pretty bad in my right wrist which might be something to consider if you're older...but I'm only 38. I'd go to a showroom and yank on a few (hee hee) to see which one you prefer. THEN you have to decide from all the billions out there which one you like best...now THAT'S the hard part! Best of luck on your yankin' and pullin' of the heads expedition! (snort! BAHAAA!)

Comments (19)I still love this one, weird as it is (the spray hose lies atop the gooseneck, and the neck itself has a sort of channel (for lack of a better word) on or in which the hose rests and blends in like a chameleon. When you want to use the hose you just pull it down from the nozzle clip (again, for lack of the proper word) and you're free to roam around the sink with it. When you're done, you just place it back over the neck and clip snap it back into place at the nozzle area (the nozzle is part of the hose so hose and faucet are one in the same). Sounds crazy but I've used the floor model of the bridge style deck-mounted 10" one and it was FUN to use and looked and felt very high-quality. It's solid stainless steel and made of replaceable parts. I.e. if you got tired of the hose version you could just replace the gooseneck with a standard gooseneck. The polished stainless steel looks like a cross between polished chrome and polished nickel because it's warmer than chrome (not so blue) but not as yellow as nickel. Not sure I'll get it though cause I want a wall-mounted one and I think the wall-mounted sizes are either too big or too small for my space. :( We'll see... See below for link to the 10" (19" high in total) version of the single lever style. They also have the shorter 8" version (14 3/4" high) and they also have the traditional deck-mounted bridge style in a couple of sizes as well as the wall ones and mono blocks (click on Steam Valve Originals once in there to see everything). They have really beautiful levers/wheels including both white and black porcelain. Here is a link that might be useful: JACLO Steam Valve single lever faucet...See MoreKitchen faucet - pull-out/down vs. side spray
Comments (1)It should be the same either way....See MorePull-down/Pull-out Kitchen Faucet Hoses
Comments (2)I can't post pics, but will suggest you get the stainless braided hose on the faucet...and the washing machine. I really do not like the high rise faucets that have a 90* bend in them. When they leak at the sprayer head, which is just a threaded connection and can loosen over time, the water will leak back down the faucet tube into the cabinet below the sink. You may not see it and you end up with damage. I have a kitchen faucet with the 180* bend so the nozzle is pointing down. If it leaks it leaks into the sink. I made the mistake of getting one of the horizon units for the laundry sink and I find myself, after a couple incidents, looking under that sink all the time. I am going to change that faucet out....See Morea2gemini
