Distance between bottom of faucet and counter

last month

I am looking at a faucet (Zomodo Orizuro) with a distance of 11.25 inches between the lower part of the faucet spout and the countertop (total height is 17 inches). I am worried it is too high and it ends up splashing or it makes it annoying to wash hands.

Any recommendations regarding this?

My other choice is 9.5 inches for almost the same total height which seems more reasonable to me, but I prefer the style of the other one.

My sink is a double dowl 60/40, measurements are 31.5 x 21 x 10 in.

Thanks!

Kculbers I unfortunately did not find a lot of reviews, seems like a brand that is only sold in plumbing stores and they don't do reviews on their website. Plumbing store says customers are satisfied, not a lot of returns so that is a good sign. Customer service is supposed to be OK.

Diana Bier Interiors I wrote the distance between the faucet and the countertop because that is the one you can find in all specs sheets. I sure did calculate the distance to the bottom of my sink.

Doesn't have a pull out spout which could be useful in a double sink. The splashing depends on how high you turn the water on.

Delta has one not quite as distinctive with a pull-out.

How’s their customer service? An important factor to consider.

Why focus on the distance between the bottom of the faucet and the counter? the distance to the bottom of the sink is the important measure. If the bottom of your faucet is 11.25 above the counter, and the sink depth is 10", then the distance the water will fall from is about 21". Mine is 17" and I find it too high. I have a pulldown faucet and I only use it in the pulled out position, because of the splashing.

also I've never heard of that brand--I'd get a more well-known brand for your area. In the US, that would be Delta, Moen or Kohler. Not sure if that's the same in Canada.

My faucet is about 8.5” from spout end to counter, no issues with splashing. Did you read the reviews for the taller faucet?

Hmm, I was not aware of that distance in the specs.

So what have you decided?

I think I will stay safe and go with a lower more regular one (like 8-9 inches from the counter top). As I can't find much reviews about taller ones I am too worried it will splash
