Looking for suggestions/experiences with different brands of kitchen
faucets. Specifically, I am looking at some faucets by Denze and
Hansgrohe, but I don't know anything about these companies.

Thanks.

Ever hear of Moen?

They'e both good higher end brands. Before you buy, make sure you can
easily get parts locally in case you need a repair.

What makes Moen better?

Been happy with Delta, we have a high goose neck design which makes washing
big pots and pans a lot easier.

When we built our home, my spec was ONLY Moen faucets throughout.

Why? Past experience with their customer service department.

Their motto, "Buy it for looks - buy it for life" is no joke.

Their stuff is guaranteed for life. Though quite seldom, when I have
had a problem with any product of theirs and have called them, they
have sent replacement parts promptly without any hassles.

As for their cartridges, replacement is even faster! They last a long
time and when (if) they do wear out, just take the old one to the nearest
Moen dealer (eg: Home Depot) and they will swap it for free - doesn't
matter where the faucet was orignally purchased. Moen keeps their dealers
stocked with replacemet cartridges and some other minor parts as well.

Very few problems, and no hassle solutions when there were problems - that
is why I won't use anything else.

I have no affiliation with Moen, but considering all their stuff I have
purchased over the past few years, I should own a share in the company! ;-)

Most people like me who have owned Delta and Moen prefer Moen. Delta has a
bunch of small spring and seals. Moen just one well built cartridge.

I used to recommend Delta. They closed their local plant and laid
off over 300 folks. Moved production out the country.

I no longer buy, recommend, or install Delta.

unless , like me you have hot water heated with a coil in the furnace.
water needs to be really hot on the coil to reach 3rd floor washroom.
water, over time melted the plastic parts that attatch the handle to
the faucet. it's like the bumper to bumper car warrenty - fine, but not
when it's always in for repair.

No doubt. The domestically produced fixtures in my home are trash and have
been so since day one. My biggest regret in choosing Delta is that I'll have
to repair ceramic tile when replacing my shower valves with Moen.

Kitchen faucet? Moen with retractible/integral hose. ~$250US
