Which of the faucets requires you to turn off the water to switch from spray to stream and vice versa? I have never heard of this. I have a Delta pull down faucet and you can switch from stream to spray and vice versa without turning off the water.

Sorry. I thought I had typed the brand. It's the Moen Align.

I have the Delta Trinsic and am satisfied with the performance. There is a place on the handle to compress for spray and you do not need to turn off. I don't know what we paid for it, but was one our plumber uses a lot. He likes the availability of Delta parts. I like the looks of the Hansgrohe. Do they have a good reputation and what kind of warranty does Costco or Hansgrohe have? Have you looked at all 3 in person, for both looks, quality and feel?

I believe it's lifetime warranty for Hansgrohe. I have not seen them in person (I think the Hansgrohe from costco is only online).

We have Moen's Nori pulldowns in both of our kitchen sinks and like them a lot; IIRC I bought them at Lowe's which had the best price at the time. To switch from spray to stream (and vice versa), we don't need to turn off the water first, just push the button on the back of the pull-down part.

I'm a big fan of Moen because of their lifetime warranty. Shortly before we moved into our new house last year, the Moen tub spout we originally installed about 20 years earlier in the old house started leaking, and the last time that happened, (10 years previously), we phoned Moen Canada customer service for a new shower valve cartridge, which they sent out cheerfully and for free. I had my doubts 9+ years on, but my husband called them, and sure enough, happily and for free, another shower cartridge was sent out immediately.

That said, I've heard good things about Hansgrohe, Delta, and Costco customer service, so I'd just double-check on that.

I see a $100 difference in price, not $200. Another favourite source for plumbing fixtures was https://plumbingonline.ca.

All 3 of those brands are very well regarded. I only know that Delta has the lifetime warranty but now reading this thread I see Moen and Hansgrohe do as well. The ones you are considering are all attractive, and If you like them equally, then for sure I would go with the least expensive. They are all good, and you are not getting junk.

Sorry, yes. The Delta is $457 and Moen is $374. Hansgrohe Cento is $280.

Did your Nori come with the soap dispenser? And if so, do you use it / how do you find it?

Marta, we didn't use the soap dispensers because we have two of the older Ikea Domsjo apron front sinks with only one hole.

My husband, who's a builder and built our house, said he could drill another hole in the sink, but the possible risk to the sink wasn't worth it to me. In hindsight I'm especially glad because shortly after we installed the sinks, Ikea discontinued them (I'd bought them 5+ years before and had been saving them lol).

I've read so much about the Never-MT hose extension over the years at GardenWeb that if another hole had been an option, something like that would have been my choice : ) .

“it's much easier to swap out the bottle instead of reaching the tiny bottle under the sink.”

Just wanted to correct that - I haven’t seen an in-counter soap dispenser that you refill from the bottom in years, maybe more than a decade. I’m sure there must still be some out there, but the overwhelming majority of in-counter soap dispensers sold today are filled from the top. You lift the top off and pour your dish soap in, done. That‘s not to say you don’t need a Never MT so as not even to have to do that. I just didn’t want people to think you must refill an in-counter soap dispenser by having to reach under for the bottle under the sink. (I myself don’t have a Never MT, and haven’t missed it, but people do love it).
