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

yes, maybe it isn't as handy as I wish it were. Just trying to fit 10# into a 5# bag. I have no good place for a garbage cabinet unless I lose at at least half of a 30" drawer base. I only have 4 drawer base cabs as it is. One 36, two 18" and one 30". I'd have to make my 30" cab 15" smaller OR shrink the DW to an 18" and shrink the 30" to a 21". Or have a small garbage can under a 30" wide apron sink. I don't like any of these options.

Of course, everyone uses their faucets differently, but I'm glad my delta doesn't retract automatically. As I'd mentioned in another thread, I pull out my faucet and fill large stockpots, resting the head on the edge of the pot - using it as a pot filler. It frees up my hands to do something else. I also find that if I pull out the hose and wash out pots or whatever else needs to be washed, I get less splashing if the head is lower in the sink. I'd hate to fight against an automatic retraction feature. When I'm done, I just use my hand to push the faucet head back towards its dock where the magnet attracts it the last inch or so. Helene
