My kitchen faucet is acting wonky and it’s old. I thought no big deal. I’ll run to Lowe’s tomorrow or HD and pick a new one up.
omg
I just got a new faucet for the bathroom recently and I got brushed nickel or chrome but it spots which I hate. Someone told me you can get a spot resistant faucets, I thought great.

Do you know how much those cost? Just began looking online…..
moen has a kitchen faucet for over $800.

I got a nice motion-sensing, pulldown sprayer one a few years back for $160 with a Lightning Deal on Amazon; works great.

Are you looking at the gold plated models?

If you go to Bed Bath and Beyond, yeah you should get the $800 one. You KNOW you can get a Delta, Price Pfister, Moen or other quality faucets for around or less than $300. All have lifetime warranties that work and are easy to install.

Not sure if you have a Costco around you but they had the Kohler simplex 596 for cheaper than I can get it wholesale. Quite a faucet and a very good deal if they still cary it.

Ha. Just began searching. How could a faucet cost that much! I just want functional.

You can go to a home recycling yard and pick up a used plastic barrel spigot, too.

Thanks. I’d love Costo but it isn’t convenient so I never joined.

I lived my whole life just fine without knowing about GPM until last yr shopping for a pressure washer. Now browsing kitchen faucets I see GPM. That’s not a priority.

I like the looks of the faucets with the coil around them, but all I can think of is how hard that would be to clean after grabbing it with pie dough or cookie dough on my hands.

How durable is the motion sensing feature? Does it come on to the last setting used like hot or cold?

 

[RockyMtBeerMan]

Works well, no problem except if placement is low, then any objects in sink or bubbles can interfere with it. Water volume/temp valve holds temp and flow setting independent of on/off sensor. Some expensive ones can set temps.

Sam's club nearby?

I bought a duplicate style as the 30+ year old Delta that I had, there a year ago, for $60.00.

You can go in as a GUEST, and if you find something do a one-time purchase of it.

And if they won't let you, get a member to purchase it for you.

Just remember to repay the member.

I volunteer to help out if needed.

Just searched and see plenty under $200. BTW, I recently bought moen which I thought was little smaller. I'm not sure about the goose neck diameter, id or od, but it is tighter in radius. Made to look smaller? But the pull down hose binds which I can live with but maybe a factor in your decision. I would suggest homedepot and look/compare before buying. Never used one with spring cage? Looks cool but made me wonder how the up facing seal works where spring is housed in the valve body.

The feature I’ve use the most is that button that turns it from a stream into a spray which is great when cleaning vegetables.

On my To Do list faucet was not on it!

What I really really need is a water softener, and now that I have a garage with a side door I could leave and they could just let themself in to refill the tank. We have horrible water in this part of Florida. Besides the odor what’s worse is black gunk that builds up around the drain and inside the drain, which I’ve never had before in any other house. I’ve heard a water softener is better for faucets. At the rate I’m needing repairs a water softener will never be in my budget. (Why are my repairs always expensive things)

While I've not bought or priced one in several yrs, you can get a decent kitchen faucet of a little over $100. They do sell some extra cheap but they are all plastic. I bought one about 40 yrs ago - they don't last over a year.
