I agree, so many faucets! I have to admit that I was not very interested in this purchase until I came across the Kohler Karbon. Then it was love at first sight. I have a pair of them on the larger Stages sink and the set up is crazy functional and easy on the eyes.

We are going retro, so are using this:

If we ever did a more contemporary look, I have to say I think the Kohler Karbon is well designed for form and function.

We're going with the grohe minta

I wanted a faucet with a single lever built into the faucet, not a stand-alone with it's own hole, and a built-in sprayer. My current, pre-reno faucet is made up of three parts: the sprayer, the lever, and the water spigot. I didn't know the difference between a pull-down and a pull-out when I started looking. There have been a couple of threads lately about the pros/cons of each if you're interested.

I fell in love with the Hansgrohe Interaktiv/Talis pull-down for it's clean, simple, modern lines. I recently found out that the spray toggle button won't hold the spray hands-free, meaning you have to hold down the button to keep the spray on. I decided that it won't bother me, but it might bother others. I can't wait!!

Favorite? By far, it's the MGS Vela D. It feels so good! I chose it by touch at the showroom, and it's even better installed. It's supposed to be of such quality that it should never need repair, but, being pragmatic, I take that to me rarely (I expect it to last the rest of my life). It has a pulldown that retracts without assistance (though if one shuts off a heavy flow too fast the pressure will push it out a tiny bit), and it has a spray button. You could probably repair a Moen once a year for the same price, however.

Not a beauty shot, but here it is installed.

Love, love, LOVE our new Delta Touch2O Pilar faucet, Hubby installed it in about an hour, no issues with battery life ect. works exactly like it says it should! We also got it NIB off ebay for 30-40% less then the local big box store was selling it for! Good luck, I remember drowning in faucet choices too, at least you are in good hands here at GW!!!

I have had a Grohe LadyLux Plus in my kitchen for 14 years and it's finish and function still like new (Grohe did replace the handheld FREE for me...this is a true "buy it for life" warranty). You can set for stream or spray and you don't have to hold any buttons. That is SO convenient. I'm getting another one when we redo the laundry room.
