Help with Kitchen Faucet

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Hello pros!

I just moved into a new home and don't like the kitchen faucet. I've narrowed my search down to three options: The Brizo Venuto, Kohler Tone (I love the Simplice but have seen too many negative reviews) and the Moen Kurv. Do you have any expereince with these? If so, what do you recommend (for or against)? And if you have other ideas, I'm open. I want something that is sleek and simple. The kitchen is black soapstone with white veins on the island and Calcutta marble (cream with beige and dark beige veins) on the rest of the counters. Appliances are Thermador stainless steel. Thanks so much for your insights and help!

With a high arch faucet, you need to be concerned with the spout reach (see pic below). That is because if the spout is too close to the back of the sink, it can cause backache because you are reaching farther to use the faucet with a slight bend to your back. Even an inch or so can make a difference. People who complain about backache at the sink often have a faucet with a short reach. So the ones you mentioned, in descending order of spout reach are Brizo Venuto (12-1/2" reach), Moen Kurv (8-3/4" reach) and Kohler Tone (only 7-13/16" reach!).
