Brizo Talo Smart Touch Kitchen Faucet
Comments (1)Hello, While I cannot directly answer any of your three questions abut the specific product, I just wanted to add my two cents' worth: I am inclined to agree with your husband about anything with "smart touch" technology. In my experience, ANY piece of equipment -- be it an appliance, fixture, car, machine, or gadget -- that has additional high-tech features will ultimately require more maintenance for those very same "smart" features. IMHO, if money is a consideration (as it almost always is) then buy the best medium to medium-high grade product with the least amount of additional features. I find that simpler is usually better in the long run. Best of luck -- Mamiam...See MoreWould you buy a Brizo Venuto SmartTouch faucet again?

Comments (11)Irina, Thanks for the info. I checked the parts diagram and except for the lever design and the hidden spray head of the Solna, the Brizo Solna, Delta Trask and Delta Trinisic use exactly the same parts for one hole installation. Hopefully, that means your experience with the handle should apply to the similar Delta models as well. I need a faucet immediately to replace a leaky faucet. In the long run, I need two faucets and possibly a beverage faucet for a kitchen remodel, but I am not ready to purchase them now. I went ahead and purchased a Delta Trask faucet in chrome to replace the leaky faucet. I like the look of the Solna but I like the convenience of a non-hidden spray head. The lower price of the Trask and being able to buy it today at Lowes tipped the scale. I figure if I want to match pieces from Trinsic or Solna later on, I can always change out the lever if I need to. For anyone looking for reviews on the articulating Brizo Solna, we did order it. Unlike some of the other member of this forum, I love the industrial/modern look of it. The faucet head is a little bit bigger than the "upside down J models", namely the Delta Trask and Trinsic and presumably the similar-looking non-articulating member of the Solna family. Hence, it should generate wider streams and sprays. The lever moves very smoothly. The lever motion range allows the temperature setting to be saved when the faucet is turned off. The articulating Solna shares some looks but (virtually?) no parts with other members of the Solna family. I really like the idea of being able to adjust the spray head up/down and forward/back in addition to side-to-side. However, we reluctantly decided to return the articulating Solna without even installing it because of two design flaws. The most obvious one is that the lever is long and it is mounted very high on the stem. It significantly interferes with the rotation of the faucet arm. The second potential problem is that the black hose from the stem to the spray head is very stiff and not very long. Not only does it resist being bent into the position necessary to aim it toward what is being washed, it stresses the point where the hose is connected to the metal stem. This point is reinforced but only with plastic or rubber. Seems like a high chance for the hose to crack at this connection point. The first should be a really easy design change. It simply requires lowering the handle and making it a little bit shorter so the top is below the point where the articulating arm attaches to the stem. Hopefully, the Brizo designers will figure this out and fix this problem. It is a really cool looking faucet! The articulating arm would have been very functional as well. I am sad to return it....See MoreBrizo Artesso Faucet
Comments (14)@sglf Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to take photos. That is very helpful, and now I understand why they ask for that clearance. I unfortunately can't do a side mount because of the shape of the sink, and because I changed my original thinking about centering the sink on a window after much back and forth with KD and husband. (I argued for an offset sink for greater functionality but in the end they convinced me.) They would kill me if I off-set the faucet after all that!...See Moreajrmcr
