Help deciding on faucet

7 years ago

Thanks to the help of members here, I chose and ordered a sink. Now I've got it narrowed down to three faucets, and I'm wondering if there's any pros or cons to them that I'm not thinking of.

This is my favorite: https://www.amazon.com/K-99259-SN-Artifacts-Single-Hole-Pull-Down-3-Function/dp/B00SHFPFD2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Second favorite: (I like this a lot and wouldn't feel cheated if I wound up with it. It's more than my first choice, but has better reviews.) https://www.amazon.com/K-99259-SN-Artifacts-Single-Hole-Pull-Down-3-Function/dp/B00SHFPFD2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Third choice: I'm not as excited about this one, but wonder how much I'm actually going to be thinking about my faucet and it is cheaper. We completely gutted our kitchen so I don't want to settle, but I also don't want to go crazy on the spending. https://www.amazon.com/American-Standard-4279300-013-Delancey-Pull-Down/dp/B06XC6JNM4/ref=sr_1_2?fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1552007558&refinements=p_n_feature_six_browse-bin%3A2400733011%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A542696011%2Cp_n_feature_three_browse-bin%3A542710011&rnid=542707011&s=hi&sr=1-2

I have the Artifacts in PN. It’s a really nice faucet...solid, great quality, pretty to look at.

The Kohler Artifacts is a great faucet. Beautiful. Great 3-spray-mode function. Great ergonomics to the sprayer. I might hesitate with the PN finish though, which in my experience spots easily and needs polishing with silver polish on occasion. Polished chrome is lower maintenance.

Your first and second favorites above are the same thing?

Oops, thank you for the heads up! The second choice should have been https://www.amazon.com/Brizo-High-Arc-MagneDock-Brilliance-Polished/dp/B00NABLLHW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478262595&sr=8-1&keywords=Brizo+63025LF+Pullout+Spray+High-Arc+Kitchen+Faucet+with+MagneDock,+Diamond+Seal,+Brilliance+Polished+Nickel&linkCode=sl1&tag=younghouselove-20&linkId=0e31b1cc0428290dc2cc0a124e516e2b

I've had the Brizo faucet for a few months in chrome. I bought the smart touch model. I bought it mainly because I liked how it looks but I've been very happy with it's function. The smart touch option takes a little getting used to, but I'm sure I'll really appreciate it when I host the next big holiday or get together.

IMHO, your first choice of the Kohler Artifacts faucet is way above the other two. The Brizo is equivalent quality, but looks-wise, the Artifacts is more beautiful. The American Standard faucet a distant third.

Perhaps it would be helpful to post pics of the Artifacts and the Brizo (note that is what is shown as polished nickel on the Brizo - make sure to see it IRL if you are interested in it):

Thank you. I think I've decided, even though it's killing me to spend so much on a faucet!

Absolutely the artifacts. And in the scheme of it, is it worth saving $100 to not be happy with your choice?

I love that faucet too! I didn't really splurge on anything else so this will be it. :)

Check out Amazon Warehouse. There are two in polished nickel on there now in 'Like New' condition for $366. I bought most of my plumbing from there including an Artifacts faucet and didn't have to send anything back. I only purchase if it is labeled as 'Like New' or 'Very Good'.
