The Talis S is my favorite; I had it in my old house, but when we wanted to put a new one in this house prior to our kitchen remodel, we didn't want to spend the money (yet). We bought a Moen Indi, and liked it a lot. But the main thing we liked about the Talis S is that you have to hold the button! Not many people like that, apparently. With the Moen Indi, you do not have to hold the button. In hand, it feels very similar to the Talis S.

Now that we're in the middle of the remodel, we bought two Talis S faucets.

Thanks, Pippie! One question: I've been reading up on the Moen Indi, and the only complaint is about weak flow rate. I noticed the Indi is rated at 1.5 gpm, while the Talis S is 1.75 gpm. Have you noticed any difference in the flow rate and spray power between the two?

We just installed a Delta Leland, and we like it a lot.

I'm not sure about the flow rate. We don't have it anymore. I thought most faucets came with a flow restrictor now...I was reading that the Talis S I bought is very limited, but I plan to try to remove the restrictor.

I saw a talis (not sure if C or S) faucet at a showroom that had the button that you could turn the spray on and off without holding it. Trying to find this model online has been a challenge since none of the write-ups contain information about the button specifically. Anyone know anything about this new (assuming) one?

Mamapatti - it's interesting you say this, because my friend told me she is buying a Hansgrohe Talis (she didn't recall C or S), and I mentioned the PITA-factor of having to hold the button to stay on spray which I knew had been a feature of the Talis. She insisted that the demo model in the showroom most definitely had a toggle button you don't have to hold. She bought the faucet, but it is not yet installed. Perhaps Hansgrohe has updated the Talis for this feature?

I have the Talis C which I love and have used in several houses. When you change from stream to spray you push the button and it stays in spray mode without holding the button down. The negative for some people is that in order to switch back to stream you need to turn the faucet off and back on again.

Thank you for clearing that up Mihelene. What would bug me more is if you have a faucet in spray mode, turn it off, walk away, then come back to use sink, turn it on, and it has stayed in spray from last time. I've seen some faucets that function like that.

One of ours is now functional and I don't notice any problem with the flow rate. (We have another installed but the water is not turned on there yet.)

This is the one I have (times two):

i have the Talis C and love it!!!! we did consider the "S" but went with C for the look.... no problems after 4 years of heavy use!!!

Check out Costco.

Installed the Delta Touch about 3.5 years ago and can't imagine living without it. Looks really sharp too. Aesthetics are tricky. They have a few designs with the same internals but different designs. Performance wise, its been awesome and still going strong. No issues with the touch mechanics either, and comes in REALLY handy in a kitchen setting.

FWIW==we installed a Moen Indi faucet in black—it will stay on either spray or stream w/o holding button and when it is turned off returns to stream mode automatically

our plumber did install and took out the restriction o-ring so we have higher flow than faucet would be out of the box...

so far no issues with the pull out sprayer doing back in
