Pull down kitchen faucet with linear spray pattern

5 years ago

My sister has a pull down kitchen faucet that has a linear spray pattern. It seems like a great idea to help clean plates rather than a wide round pattern. She's out of the country right now so I was wondering if anyone knows what brand(s) have this feature?

The Kohler Artifacts kitchen faucet has 3 different sprays, one of which is a “sweep” spray. That spray mode is in the shape of a fan - I have no idea if that’s what you meant by “linear”. I’ll link a video which shows the Sweep spray (and also the BerrySoft spray) so you can see for yourself.

Yes! That's exactly what I meant. Thanks.

Thanks so much, very helpful -- I had no idea a pull down and a pull out were actually two different things! That thread link was so helpful, really! So I think I am going to choose a pull-OUT as I don't want a gooseneck shape and the pullouts I've seen on FaucetsDirect are the ones I naturally gravitate toward. Thanks for your help, and also for making me think about the button that can hold the spray for me. Who knew choosing one little faucet would be so involved! Now I have to start thinking about the bathroom faucets.... :-)

It should be the same either way.

We don't find it to be a detriment. We chose our Grohe Ladylux Cafe because it felt good in our hands, and ergonomically seemed like it would work really well (e.g. size-wise, getting inside smaller pots and pans, and the tight corners of our sink). We didn't (still don't) LOVE the look of our faucet (they've since come out with a sleeker version), but for a kitchen workhorse, went with function over form. The need to hold down the spray button wasn't a big factor in that decision.

I would certainly stay away from Grohe while the company works out its problems and gets comfortable with its new Japanese owners. Hansgrohe, famous for its hand showers, has never had a good kitchen spray -- don't know why. The company certainly has the know-how. Try theIn2Aqua Edge. It toggles between spray and stream without having to turn off the water. In22aqua is a new German company that makes the most impressive line of faucets we have seen in quite a while. Of course, the master of the spray faucet is Moen. Al Moen essentially invented the kitchen spray, and the company has been improving on it ever sense. For our reviews of Moen, In2aqua and over 100 other faucet brands, seeFaucet Reviewws and Ratings.

The Delta Ashton we are going with supposedly has something similar, at least the rep told us so. We weren't looking for that feature specifically, but it seems it would be nice to have.

We have a Koehler with the sweep pattern. We don’t love it. It’s ok but not especially better than the Delta faucet we have in our cabin kitchen. It does make a big mess if left is sweep pattern and you’re not expecting it. So we try to make sure we leave the faucet in the stream mode to avoid the spray all over the countertop and floor.

I am jealous of berry mode in that faucet, but my style does not allow for a traditional faucet. My kitchen is totally Euro modern.

I love my Kohler artifacts faucet. The linear spray is wonderfully powerful, and, at least on my model, has to be manually turned on- it would be difficult to accidentally turn it on, and cannot be left on that setting. Scroll to end of thread for a demo:

I have a Kohler Barossa faucet that has a sweep spray pattern. It has an aerator, so water pressure is strong and extremely effective for rinsing dishes. Bonus that the faucet feels sturdy and has a magnet that still holds the pull-down in place after ~5 years of use. The included soap dispenser is worth replacing, however.
