Kraus Allyn Industrial Pull-Out Single Handle Kitchen Faucet in Spot-Free Stainless Steel

Excellent faucet. Solid, simple to install and use. One handle - From only cold to only hot is a max 90 degree clockwise turn of the handle. Faucet swivels about 115 degrees. Pressure is amazing. Swivels about And one of the nicest looking kitchen faucets - medium height and thick body on the stainless steel finish.

Very solid, great industrial look. Feels like it will last forever.

Well-built, solid faucet. Easy installation. I like how the rotation of the faucet is above the base (replacing a faucet that came loose at the base and in spite of multiple attempts to tighten it, kept loosening). Has a low profile - I have a ledge behind my sink for plants, and many of the newer faucets are really tall and would interfere with my plants. Spray is good and the pull-out clicks into place when retracted (again, comparing to previous faucet which didn’t lock in place, leading to occasion misdirection of the water spray). No leakage noted.

I got it for $144.41 in ‘Used Like New’ condition from Amazon Warehouse––saving $45 over Amazon list price. It looks like a well thought-out product, and went in without a lot of trouble. My wife already likes it better than the old one and had no problem using the spray handle, despite arthritic thumb joint. Only time will tell if it lasts, or develops problems early. I don't put much stock in early reviews, and neither should you. I take the review process seriously and will raise or lower my evaluation depending on performance over time. While installing I did a comparison with my 9-year old kitchen faucet that cost $209 from Ferguson's. The supply lines and main delivery line on this product are 1/16" to 1/8" smaller in outside diameter than the old one. (The inside diameter which carries the water is the same.) Also the main faucet body is lighter; the threaded part that holds it to the counter top is not brass, the mounting lock nut is aluminum not stainless and neither are the locking screws. This may all be well thought out engineering design to bring the price below the $200 ouch point, without affecting performance and longevity––or not. Time will tell. Paying more will not necessarily get you better, as a reading of reviews of the big name brands will show you. I'm happy for now, and while troubleshooting the old faucet, I found and repaired two other problems under my kitchen sink. (1) a missing bib washer on the hot water cutoff valve, which I was able to repair by replacing the seat with one from a new BrassCraft valve ($10) with no need for soldering. (2) a leak in the main sink drain which turned out to be a bad 1-1/2" plastic gasket (a $2.09 fix). Always feel good when I can diagnose and solve problems like this and save hundreds in plumber bills. I may not have even needed the new faucet, as the fix to the cutoff valve seemed to solve the low hot water pressure problem. This had been a recurring problem for at least three years, and this time it hit on Thanksgiving Day! But after I found the deal, we decided to go for it and keep the old one as a backup. The lesson there is to be sure you don't have other problems before condemning your faucet. Low water pressure is frequently a supply line problem, often a broken valve or line clogged with something. There are some helpful videos on youtube about solving this.

Love this faucet. Only had it for a few months, but the finish is great, doesn’t show spots at all, sprayer works well! I wanted pull-out sprayer but not a gooseneck faucet and this is perfect. Metal color looks much better with new stainless steel sink than previous chrome faucet. Style is really versatile and could go with modern, industrial, steampunk, traditional. Only problem was with the weight on the tube underneath, that helps the sprayer retract. It was crimping the tube and reducing water flow. So I just removed the weight but left the small clamp that goes with it, no more issues.
