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.

Comments (46)Do you have a friend who has a pull-down that you might be able to try? Will that sprayer stay on spray or do you have to keep the handle pressed down?

The pulls match the knobs less than the samples did and I still like the way they look. The color mismatch provides a bit of interesting tension....See MoreDishwasher Appliance Handle or Regular Drawer Pull?
Comments (2)If they are sturdy enough, I would use a regular pull. I put the faux pull on the door, but my kitchen is very small and you notice little things. I tried to have a regular pull on the drawer (a finger pull) but it wasnt sturdy enough to open my Miele without really tugging. I was getting a sturdier pull for my paneled fridge, so I used one that matched that....See Morealida_gw
