" Aesthetically, the Moen Arbor pulldown is much nicer. Our neighbor has a tight budget, so I just wonder if the Kohler Simplice pullout is the better option, since it is significantly less expensive. "

Aesthetics in a laundry room would not matter so much to me, I would take the Kohler everyday of the week.

Moen Adler pulldown kitchen faucet is very similar in style to the Arbor laundry faucet. If you can do without the high flow rate and garden hose connectivity...

I have the Adler pulldown in spot resist stainless finish. Installed it about 2 years ago. No problems so far and am pleased with it. Around $160.

I know many have simply installed kitchen faucets in their laundry rooms. Pull-out and pull-down laundry faucets seem to be a fairly new category. I would think our neighbors would prefer to have the higher flow rate of a real laundry faucet.

Now, one thing I wonder about is how many people will illegally install these new pull-down and pull-out laundry faucets in their kitchens. Residential kitchen faucets are limited by law to 2.2 gpm, with the typical average being 1.5 to 1.8 gpm. I wonder if there will be any enforcement.
