Buying a kitchen sink faucet in Chicago?
I need to buy a kitchen sink faucet. My present one has one handle and
a separate sprayer: I am used to it, so I'd go with that. However, I would like the spout to be high, to accommodate bigger pots in the sink. A few questions- Finish: Which ones are longest lasting and best resist fading or damage during regular use? Brand: Where is the best value for most trouble free operation? Sto I know about Home Depot, but are there any local unknown (to me) gems that would be better? Many thanks. |

Everyone's got their own opinions about brands, but I've always been happy with Moen products. I bought this kitchen faucet for the same reason you mentioned: http://www.moen.com/browsecatalog/pr...kurefno=229634 Go to www.moen.com and click on the "where to buy" link. I used 60608 as zip code, and searched for "home centers" and "distinctive showrooms". I got the results below. You should try whatever zip code is more specific to your location. Don't assume that "distinctive showrooms" means "most expensive". I actually got the best price on my faucet from a place like that here, and it was a special order item for them.

I have a Moen single handle faucet with the spray in the center. The
single handle has broken off twice but it is an easy repair. The big problem is with the chrome plate which has started to peel off the plastic faucet. This is often sharp and has cut several hands. I file the edges off from time to time. I believe this would be a problem with most brands since they are all chrome plated plastic these days. Stay away from chrome, pay the slightly extra price for stainless steel. Dave |

Dave Which parts of your faucet are plastic? I went with Moen for two more faucets, after a good experience with their customer service. The plastic dip tube in my water heater was defective. It was deteriorating and sending plastic crumbs into the pipes. The plumber who repaired it suggested that I check the internals of all the faucets, because the crumbs had a tendency to lodge themselves in small places and cause trouble. In order to be prepared ahead of time in case I needed parts, I went to the Moen site and emailed them for the correct cartridge model number for my shower faucet. The email page requested name, address & phone number. Instead of emailing a response, I got a phone call. The person gave me the part number, but said they were shipping a new one for free. I explained that the problem had nothing to do with their product, and that I didn't expect anything for free. She said she wanted to save me the trouble of actually finding the part. It was shipped UPS 2nd day air. I haven't had problems with the chrome on any of their products. Have you called them about it? |

I remember I used to have the kind where it turns to adjust temperature, and you pull out - push in for on/off and volume. But when I went to get a new one for a remodel, it seemed that all the pressure-balancing ones had temp control only. Similar teardrop-shaped handle, but it only turns, does not push in-out. I'm wondering if the pressure-balancing feature (that keeps the temp constant when someone flushes a toilet or starts the washing machine while you're showering) is incompatible with flow control somehow. -- H |

The new shower faucets (from most all manufacturers) are a single control design that go from off to on through cold, then add hot as you continue to rotate the handle. Think turning a bolt. There is no way to a) set a prefered temp and then adjust the volume or b) reduce the volume for anything other that full cold. It seriously sucks. |

All 3 of mine are metal, except for the side mounted sprayer on the kitchen setup. That's the newest faucet, about 1 year old. I wonder if they make different product lines (like other manufacturers do) for different kinds of dealers. |

"Ajanta" wrote in message ... I need to buy a kitchen sink faucet. My present one has one handle and a separate sprayer: I am used to it, so I'd go with that. However, I would like the spout to be high, to accommodate bigger pots in the sink. So, you might like the kind whose main spout is also a sprayer that can be pulled out. That will (obviously) give you more room over a pot than even the high rise pull-up type. Colored finishes (typically white or black) will not have the problem with chrome chipping off of plastic that has been mentioned in this thread. If that leaves you with an unused hole in your sink deck, buy a plug to fill it, which will cost maybe a couple of bucks. Menards may be worth looking at. They don't have as broad a line as Home Depot but they're often cheaper. (Aaaaagh, there goes that infernal jingle in my head again - 'you save big money, you save big money, when you shop Menards' -- you'll hear that a few dozen times if you visit a Menards store for an hour.) |

The big home improvement stores generally don't carry much variety in the Moen product line. You'll need to go to a real store, staffed by humans. The answer that makes sense. Which brings us back to Kenji's "real" store. Thanks for the confirmation of what little I know about Home Despot/Menards. trent |

Something sounds wrong. I can't believe anyone would design such a thing. This is a major peeve of mine also. The new shower faucets (from most all manufacturers) are a single control design that go from off to on through cold, then add hot as you continue to rotate the handle. Think turning a bolt. There is no way to a) set a prefered temp and then adjust the volume or b) reduce the volume for anything other that full cold. It seriously sucks. Probably the result of a litigious society in which morons control the market because they're unable to figure how to adjust water temperature. I see a market here. Which is why I KNOW they still make them- normal people still want them. Maybe they make you sign a waiver at the store now... trent |

Moen is a highly recommended brand and I am considering some of their models seriously (7430, 7460, 7480, can't tell difference among them, I picked up thes e#s from different websites) and 7840. A peculiar thing about Moen website is that when you clic on one model number more more info, you get "page is unavailable". There is incredible deal on a Danze model which, in steel version (list $181) is being cleared dor around $40. But I don't the quality of the brand. A Home Depot person was ranking American Standard and Kohler as being better made than Moen, but Delta even lower. Just one man's opinion, of course, but he was working the HD's kitchen department. |

(Nobody I talked to can relate to the "plastic problem" at all; maybe Dave has an old model, or some special run Moen did for some retailer, or maybe a Moen knock-off, I can't guess.) : Menards may be worth looking at. They don't have as broad a line as Home : Depot but they're often cheaper. Both HD and Menards were supremely unattractive (they may be ok if I know just which model I want, but then I might as well buy online) although HD does have a much larger display. At the other extreme I found many showrooms that are very attractive but also overpriced. So far the best compromise I found is Remodelers Supply on Pulaski (thanks Kenji). |
