Yeah, I could take it back or I could call Moen. That's not really the
point. In my opinion it is poorly designed or poorly manufactured or both.
It has been a constant source of aggravation. If I have to crawl under the
sink and remove it, I want to install something that will do what it is
supposed to do and do it well . That includes function, durability and
finish, etc. I can probably get a new one from Moen under the warranty. In
fact as I recall the history of this thing, it was actually replaced right
after we moved into this house and it was new. The original faucet
apparently had a bad casting. The hot water delivery was less than half of
the cold water. I tried switching the supply lines and the problem was now
on the cold water. That exonerated the plumbing and indicted the fixture.

Sorry, but enough is enough. I will not put another Moen on the sink.

Take it in to your local dealer as it is lifetime they should fix
whatever is wrong we do where I work.

Right now we have a Delta waterfall faucet, with a stainless sink.
This
is the wrong type of faucet for SS, because the sink flexes too much.
We
are planning a kitchen remodel next year, and will use the faucet with
the cast iron sink then.

So, I need a decent faucet until then. Not looking for cheap, but to
get
the biggest bang for the buck.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

I like Mohen ... but there are lots to choose from.
I used to like Moen, but no longer. In my previous house I had one for
over
a dozen years with minimal problems.
The one I have now has been troublesome.
An internal plastic piece broke and the only way to shut off the water
was
to shut off the supply valves under the sink.
Several chrome pieces have started to corrode.
There is also significant corrosion on some of the internal surfaces
that
are not subject to getting wet. Even if they had been wet, this is a
faucet.
It is (or should be) designed for a wet environment.
The final straw is that the pull-out head will no longer seat in the
place
where it is meant to park.
Oh yes, it had poor water flow until I pulled out the water restrictor.
It
didn't make much sense as if you are going to fill a glass or a pot you
are
going to use the same amount of water regardless of how fast it comes
out.

I am now in the market for a new faucet. If I have to pull out the Moen
to
replace the free chrome pieces, I will not replace it with the same make.
