Faucet advice

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good faucet line? There are so many. I know the name Kohler... but I'm more concerned about quality then name brand. We are redoing our master bathroom.

Thanks!

Other people on this forum have suggested this site.

In general, some plumbers suggest Delta or Moen since they are solid American companies, they've been around for a long time, and they have a solid reputation for parts replacement should you need them.

In addition, there are many upscale brands to choose from, lovely Italian companies, etc. You should look for a nice showroom to visit that has a number of brands on display, see what appeals to you, and what is within your budget, and then do your research.

I've had good luck with Grohe and Danze faucets. Check faucetdirect.com for loads of options with easy filtering options to find exactly what you're looking for.

That's the one I was ordering - I engaged in a "live chat" to ask a question about something and the CS rep told me even with that one, the largest I could go was a 30. I told her what the spec sheet said but she was adamant that to undermount that model, I'd need at least a 38 inch cab.

Similar faucets are now installed in most public restrooms in Our Fair City. Mostly they don't work very well. Don't come on at all, don't stay on long enough, turn off if you stop moving in just the right way underneath them, take 10-15 seconds to reset when they've decided you've had enough water, run when you don't want them to (like when wiping out the sink). Seems like gadgetry run wild to me. I wouldn't put up with one in my house. I've always thought foot pedal operated faucets were a great idea for hands-free operation; had them in several lab sinks and they were great.

Thank you everyone for your advice and recommendations. I think I found a solution, I will switch to Delta Essa (although I still prefer the look of Kohler Bellara better, but function over style). I confirmed with Delta customer service that the handle on Essa only moves forward (and to the side), so it will solve my issue. Essa Touch2O Technology Single-Handle Pull-Down Essa Single-Handle Pull-Down Now, anyone has experience with this faucet? Is it worth getting the more expensive version with Touch technology, or should I just stick with a regular one? Thanks in advance!

Don't know if this will help, but we have the Cento from Costco in the kitchen here at my office, installed with a very shallow sink. I just "rinsed" a very sturdy largish paper plate and no splashing at all. I liked the way the laminar flow feels, and that's why I bought the Metris faucet I have at home, installed over a deeper sink. But it splashes like crazy!! Anything I rinse creates a splash. Drive me nuts. I have to wipe down the sink, the counter and the other side of the peninsula cabinets whenever I do major food prep or cleanup. (But it's a very cool looking faucet.) So the amount of splash may be specific to each faucet?
