I'm looking for a new kitchen faucet, to replace the mistake I bought a
year ago, that now leaks from a pinhole in the spout (which appears to
be die metal).


Requirements:

Single lever, like original Delta.

All water-contact components either brass or stainless steel (excluding
seals). This includes the spout.

Have a separate side sprayer. (I have a 4-hole stainless steel sink.)

Polished chrome finish.

Be large enough for the sink, but not huge (like those things used for
granite counters).


What I've found so far:

American Standard "Reliance" model 4205.001.002.

Delta model 175-DST.

Moen Commercial model 8707 (can be had with 9" or 12" spout, but 12"
seems too long).

Questions:

What experience do people have with these and/or competing faucets?

What similar products not listed are there?

I'm partial to Moen and their lifetime guarantee, and they are about two
miles up the street.

Moen is my second choice. Two miles helps a lot, but no major faucet
manufacturer is close to me (in the Boston area).

All the major producers have a lifetime guarantee for residential use,
limited to five years for commercial use.

I did not know that. When we renovated the condo 6 years ago we used a
mix of Moen and Delta. No problems with any yet except the soap pump in
the kitchen sink needs lube every few months. Moen only has their
offices here, I don't know where they have parts. I have always just
bought parts for Moan rather than get them under warranty and it's
always the cartridge.

When they do act up it's just a matter of replacing the cartridge in 5
minutes.
