Faucets: Pull out vs pull down
Comments (10)Here are some pros/cons. I'm sure others will have things to add as well: Pull Down A faucet in which the faucet head pulls straight down toward the bottom of the sink. For example, Kohler Vinnata, Kohler Simplice Pros Supposed to be better "ergonomically." The movement of grabbing the faucet head and pulling down is a more natural movement than grabbing it and pulling it out. It has to do with how you have to grab a hold of the head. Can fit taller pots, pitchers, etc. under them b/c of the high arc Look cool! :-) Cons Not easy to do "hands free" pot filling when a pot is on the counter next to the sink (as opposed to in the sink) If not careful, more splashing than a pullout or non-pull faucet the water has to travel an additional 8 to 10 inches (depending on the height of the faucet) further reduces the pressure Pull Out A faucet in which the faucet head pulls out toward you. For example, Kohler Fairfax Pros Easier to fill pots on the counter next to the sink. You just pull the faucet head out, hook it on the side of the pot, and go! Then when full, just move/slide it over, no lifting it out of the sink. Less splashing than a pull down Lower profile, especially useful if you have a faucet in a small area (where a high arc would overwhelm) or if you have limited height to work with (like under a cabinet) Cons Unless you have a very deep sink, cannot fit a tall pot or pitcher under it Personally, I have both...a pull down at the main/cleanup sink and a pullout at the prep sink. The original reason I got a pullout at the prep sink is that it's in the corner close to the cabinets above and I wanted a lower profile faucet. But now I'm glad I got it as it's easier to fill pots on the side. The other thing it's easier to fill is the bucket for clean water for the fish tank! When it has 5 gallons in it, it's too heavy to easily lift out of the deep sinks we have and then take it out...it's much easier to fill it on the counter and take it off w/o additional lifting up.

Comments (4)Grohe is great or very good. Danze is a gamble on Chinese quality with a so-so track record and without any support. Parma is just a name they gave to a model. Call each manufacturer once just to see how your questions get fielded. Ask them to guide you since web searching is easier once you have an idea what to look for. Ask the same questions to each....See MoreLooking for faucet-vessel mounted sink, handle on top, pull out spray.

Comments (8)I have this in both of my kitchen sinks (main sink and prep) and like it very much, https://www.moen.com/products/Sleek/Sleek_Spot_resist_stainless_onehandle_high_arc_pulldown_kitchen_faucet/7864SRS When we were first married we had a Peerless sink for years which was always a problem and never, ever lived up to its name. We switched to Moen and have never had a problem. Plus I know from my experience with Moen bath fixtures that if we do have a problem, their customer service will be great. The Moen tub spout we originally installed 19 years ago started leaking earlier this year, and the last time that happened, about 10 years ago, we phoned Moen customer service for a new shower valve cartridge, which they sent out cheerfully and for free. I had my doubts nine years on, but my husband called them, and sure enough, happily and for free, another shower cartridge was sent out immediately....See Morekathy6421
