Recommendations for kitchen faucet with pull-out spray?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I need to replace my existing Grohe Concetto faucet because something inside is causing the water pressure to plummet. I‘ve had a Delta faucet in the past (very pretty but needed new cartridges every 2 yrs or so). I would like a faucet with a pullout sprayer in a modern style. Does anyone have a favorite faucet they would recommend?

I have a brushed stainless Franke faucet with a pull out sprayer. It's been installed about 6 years with no problems or repairs. This purchase has been a winner. Same for their built in soap dispenser. I do not know the model numbers at this point. Franke faucets are not cheap as quality materials are used internally and externally. I recommend that you research their website and read current reviews. Trescool, best wishes with your project.

For the price, it's an amazing deal.

kitchen faucet.....pull down or pull out sprayer?
Q
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

It should be the same either way.

I like a pulldown. Sidespray is too fiddly and pullouts aren't as massive, meaning I don't get the spout length my shortness requires. :) I have a Kohler Simplice right now as a temporary faucet. It's okay but the spray button doesn't work right. I shoulda exchanged it but I was lazy--Kohler makes a good faucet and I just got a dud. Previously I had a huuuuge Hansgrohe Allegro Pro, selected purely by size (I was having back issues with the faucet spout length in my unremodeled kitchen). It looked like an alien space craft from the original War of the Worlds movie. Great faucet BUT! Like others, I found that the HG spray button wasn't a simple on/off mechanism. You could turn it on, you could turn it off, but if you turned off the water, it would revert to stream. Not a big deal unless you are a Tapmaster user trying to conserve water while washing veggies with the sprayer. I'll probably get another one when I remodel anyway. :) So whatever you get, make sure the spray/stream mechanism works the way you want. What we think is an obvious function may not have occurred to the faucet designers. (The Simplice--if the button acts like it should--is the way it should be. On or off, until you change it.)

Kitchen Faucet--Pull Down/Out vs. Side Spray

Hello! We sell both the side spray and pull down spray faucets, we find that more customers are going towards the pull down spray faucets for ease of use and cleaning but that is personal preference. The quality on side spray faucets has come along way and as long as you purchase a good quality well recognized brand you will be fine. My only suggestion would be that you stop into a plumbing showroom and feel the difference between the two options as some people find the pull down spray to be more ergonomic. If you are interested in single handle pull down spray faucets check out these lines as they are very beautiful! Delta Cassidy, Kohler Artifacts & Bellera as well as the Brizo Artesso collection Hope this helps :)

I have a Grohe LadyLux3 pullout and have never had any problems with it. Had another Grohe previous to this one for 10 years with no issues (remodeled and updated the design). Have you contacted Grohe? They may be able to replace it for you.

I bought the faucet a while back, and didn’t install it for a few years, so I doubt they would replace it. We have a problem with organic matter introduced into the plumbing when the water meter was changed. Even after repiping the whole house, some fixtures are still affected. I’m tired of having very low flow in the kitchen and hope a new fixture will solve that.

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.

I looked high and low for what I thought was a quality pull out faucet. Almost all had flimsy plastic spray heads. I finally found a Pfister with a solid metal spray head. Waiting for new house to be finished so I haven’t used it yet.
