pull DOWN faucet with a 33" sink?

10 years ago

Does anyone here have one? Do you find it difficult to clean the far corners and sides of your sink?

Originally, I ordered this for my kitchen:

It arrived, and I found out that that hose did not actually pull OUT! I thought it pulled out like a sprayer and retracted back. So I relegated this to the laundry sink, and got a single hole faucet and side sprayer for my kitchen. Well, the side sprayer is junk and the cord does not go back in as readily as the one did in my house I had been renting until now (we just moved into our new build). And I LOVE this faucet in my laundry room. So I am contemplating the possibility of putting another of these in my kitchen and using the side sprayer hole to put a soap dispenser. We live on a small farm, so pretty, readily accessible soap is always a plus. I am just nervous about not having the reach of an actual sprayer or pull out faucet!

I have the grohe k7 with a 30 inch sink and just love it. It reaches the corners and I can fill a pot on the side of the sink for pasta.

I do have a pull down faucet with a 33" sink. I would not be without a sprayer and know a side sprayer would bug me. I have the soap dispenser and I love it. I have no experience with the one you pictured. I pull mine down regularly to rinse the sink.

I have a Delta Savile pull down faucet and a 33" sink. It came with a soap dispenser. The pull down reaches the corners of the sink and I use it to rinse the sink all the time.

What does "reach the corners" actually mean? I can't imagine any sprayer that couldn't direct water into the corner... but do you mean you can hold the faucet head right next to the corner?

I've seen that kind of faucet before and beside looking cool, it doesn't seem that functional compared with a pull down faucet. Shame you didn't just return it and get something more appropriate for the laundry room sink. I have a pull down in the laundry room and find it helpful for cleaning the sink as well as for filling watering cans and buckets which can be placed on the adjacent counter.

I can't speak for other faucets but that is precisely what I can do with mine. There is more length to the hose, it just snuck back a few inches while I was taking the picture.

I get the same reach to the corners as above with my Kohler Elate faucet.

Does the base swivel? We have one similar looking to brdrl's. Sprayer head doesn't physically touch the corners like scoutfinch but have had no problems with water reaching it. The base swivels though.

My base swivels and the sprayer pulls out a foot beyond the corners, it could be shortened if need be by adjusting the stop attached to the hose.

mine it's not installed yet but I can pull the spray handle around and down with the spring feature. It all swivels.

Hi Amy! DH and I both really liked the function of commercial style pre-rinse faucets like the ones you and others shared on this thread. We didn't like the ones that didn't pull down. The springs on most were way too taut and our wrists felt sore almost immediately. We did find some with a pull down hose option but finally decided to get an actual pull down faucet. Kohler has many styles of nice looking pull downs. We chose the Kohler Artifacts. It is so pretty and seems easier to keep clean having a nice smooth neck vs the coil on pre-rinse style faucets.
