Best pull-down/pull-out faucets?
Comments (12)I just made my choice of faucets. I am going to go with the Grohe pull down for 2 reasons: Pull down vs pull out: since I purchased this house recently, the pull-out faucet has constantly loosened and water has been leaking all over the sink under-cabinet! But as I had planned on doing a complete remodel (watch out cabinets, took me 2 hrs with a good hammer and built-in frustration to gut everything out!) On top of that, the pull-out ball front of the faucet kept hitting my tall pans and frustrating me even more! And forget trying to clean the sink all the way around! So a pull-down was an easy decision (got to be a nice improvement to the old pull-out!) 2. I chose Grohe after reading the hundreds of blogs on this incredible website and because Grohe is a german company who has been making incredibly strong and dependable faucets for so long! Check out their groheamerica website (http://www.groheamerica.com/t/25_4021.html) one of these days, you will be impressed with the number of medals they have won! Now I have to decide which Grohe: Ladylux or Bridgeford. Irawoods.com has them starting at $312 with free shipping and taxes and I know I am going to find it even cheaper on other internet sites....See Morekitchen faucet.....pull down or pull out sprayer?
Comments (19)Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in here---As a plumber, I've noticed that both Moen and Delta are going to the nylon hose. Is it better? They haven't been around long enough to determine that. Only time will tell... The pull out seems to be more popular than the pull down, mainly I think because the pull out faucets are cheaper that the pull down. However, the prices are coming down on the pull downs...Moen just came out with a new model, the Arbor, that is priced comparable to the pull outs. I personally like the looks of the pull downs better.--The Captain...See MoreKitchen faucet - pull-out/down vs. side spray
Comments (1)It should be the same either way....See MoreDid you pick a pull down faucet or a side pull out ?
Comments (24)I have the Grohe Lady Lux which is a pull out and find it excellent to use (and I do use it with either hand depending what I'm doing with the other hand). We considered the Grohe Lady Lux Cafe for our prep sink which is a pull down and has a very comfortable feel, but it doesn't have a stay on button for the spray - you have to hold the button down to keep spraying. I like to be able to put the faucet in spray mode and use both hands to wash produce under it. So we used the LadyLux Plus for both sinks. The Grohe faucet uses a spring rather than a weight to pull the hose back in. It goes back in very nicely. I hate side sprays. The ones I've had in the past have developed problems and leaks over time and I don't like the clutter....See Morecookncarpenter
