$80 quite nice detailing http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_sqyZ4e would need to buy separate side spray This could be quite nice in silver $80 http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_rzlRzY

We have a 2.2 gpm Blanco Grace with side spray at our clean up sink. The faucet stream is very strong but not so much with the sprayer but it's not an issue for us. The faucet is well made and looks beautiful. We paired it with a Rohl soap dispenser. We have the shorter Kohler Artifacts at our prep sink. It is also a great faucet and the one that I would get if you need a strong sprayer.

I used this Danze in a remodel in 2012. It used to be available in polished nickel but I don't see it listed on the Build.com website. I only lived in the house for a year, so can't attest to its longevity but it is the look you want.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Sorry I haven’t replied but I have been thinking about this all week.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the strength of the spray and overall functionality. I think you may be right. I’m going to order the Artifacts from HD so I can see it in person. BTW, Kohler makes different sizes. Looks like 17 5/8 height is standard but they also offer a 16” high. Anyone know why? (maybe just personal preference for the users?)

I have the Brizo one in your original photo. Love it. No issues. The height is perfect. I like height for the kitchen.

I think Kohler’s 16” is for prep sinks. That is an excellent faucet. I had the Grace in my last kitchen and liked it but the matching soap pump failed repeatedly and had to be junked. The sprayer was adequate for me. There was, however, a big black BLANCO sticker on the backside which meant I couldn’t mount it sideways as I wished. Blanco said there was no way to remove it. So in some application, it will show. (Hopefully, they’ve got rid of it by now.). I have had the Delta Cassidy bath suite and it is also outstanding.

Get the 17” in faucet. It will give you more room under it to wash. I ordered the shorter one at first, looked at and sent it back for the 17”.

We have the Koehler Artifacts for the main, and prep sinks. Such a pleasure to use...so comfortable, ergonomic, three different sprays, and great customer service, to boot. During cleanup, my husband knocked into the faucet with a pot, knocking off the spray button. One phone call, and in four days, a new head was delivered to our door, free of charge.

We also put faucets from the Artifacts line in the master bath.

Thanks everyone—super helpful info on the sizes. (Fwiw they are introducing a touch less kitchen faucet in this line, but only on the taller size—so that might be a clue of what size is better for a main sink). Glad to know they send replacement parts, even when it’s a user error! Thr local plumbing fixture store doesn’t display Kohler, so I ordered last night on HD. Free overnight shipping! I’ll have them in hand later today. Thanks for the help and encouragement.

@girl_wonder - Be aware that the Kohler line for Home Depot is made just for the big box stores. The parts are different in that some are plastic instead of the all brass that you will get when you order through a plumbing supply house. That is why they are cheaper at HD. I love the Artifacts line and just ordered it for my daughters bath.

"they also offer a 16” high. Anyone know why?"

Two reasons. As mentioned earlier, for prep sinks. Also, for when people have cabinetry over their sink and so they want to minimize the height of the faucet while still having the tall elegant look.

Note that the smaller size also has a shorter reach than the larger size. You want the benefit of a longer reach because it is easier on the back. Even a difference of an inch or so longer in faucet reach makes a difference in how you stand at the sink when rinsing.

When you first take the faucet out of the box, you may be a little freaked at how large it will look. Just giving you a heads up! Once it is installed, it will look good. They look large when all alone pulled out of the box. What finish are you getting?

We have Moen. I like it.

@Design Girl, I have contacted Kohler previously about that and was told that the product is manufactured exactly the same way no matter where it is being shipped even to the big box stores. This is the 16" at my 30" wide prep sink filling a pot sitting on the cutting board. I do like the shorter version on my island as the profile is just a bit lower. Found mine at Amazon Warehouse.

@Design Girl Really, does HD sell a different model? It's the same model number as the Kohler website and seems to have the same specs

@Shannon_WI thanks for the heads up that it will seem huge. I am getting myself mentally prepared ;)

On finishes I'm thinking either polished chrome or polished nickel. (leaning towards nickel. I heard this Kohler nickel is coated so it doesn't need so much maintenance). I'm still finalizing light fixtures and found that there are a lot more options in polished nickel. I'll have stainless appliances. I'm also planning to put oil rubbed bronze knobs/pulls on my white cabinets. (I love that look) but I don't want ORB for the faucet or light fixtures. So a few finishes but I don't think stainless looks right in my bungalow. FWIW, the sink will be white porcelain over cast iron. Counters will be Pental quartz misterio, a carrara wannabe.

No, if it is the same model number then it is the same faucet. Anyone that thinks otherwise should just prove it.....

You can't go wrong with Kohler but I'll put in a vote for Grohe pullout kitchen faucet. Can't find the style - but similar to Ladylux - and it's been great. For some reason I always use Kohler in all bathrooms but a Grohe faucet for the kitchen.

The big faucet manufacturers do make “special“ faucets for the big box stores and sometimes they are named similarly to what you can get at the plumbing supply store, but a crosscheck of the model numbers will clarify. If the model number is the same, the faucet is the same. But you do have to be careful. The Artifacts line has no discount clones, so far as I know.

I have the same Danze as mihelene mentioned. Mine is polished nickel but I did a quick online check and can't find it in polished nickel either. Mine has worked very well for almost 4 years.

The Kohler showroom will tell you there are some different internal parts. This goes for the sinks and toilets as well. I have called Kohler customer service and finally got to someone who told me this as well. The same thing goes for American Standard, Moen, etc.

It is true that some of the faucet companies make a level that they sell for lower cost through home center stores, but these will not have the same serial number as the more expensive, usually better made, faucet. I've noticed Home Depot seems to also carry more expensive lines too. For example, they carry the Whitehaven sink - and it is the real Whitehaven sink. A company cannot sell two different versions of the same product under the same serial number.

If you see a well made faucet you like at a plumb supply store, get the serial number if you want to do comparable home center or online shopping. If the price difference is not much, I do try to give local companies my business.

Jmarie, it is Model number. A serial number is the individual number that will identify each faucet.

Thanks everyone. The Kohler Artifacts arrived and I think it’s ”the one.” I love it and was able to buy it in polished d nickle for less than the price of that Brizo in chrome.

Here it in with samples of my backsplash tile and countertop (Pentax Quartz Misterio—a Carrara wannabe)

Thanks everyone e for your help, esp. the reality check.

It is beautiful in the polished nickel!

I have the kohler artifacts you purchased. I also love it and have been using it for about a year.
