Looking for a slim, classic kitchen faucet

last year

I am doing a renovation in my kitchen and got a new sink (Franke CUX 11030. Now I need a new faucet and I don't like huge towering ones, want something more classic and less massive.

Was almost ready to order Brizo Litze until I read some (not many but a few with similar complaints) reviews about the magnet not holding the sprayer, ceramic disc valves needing constant replacement and leaking around the base. I really love the look of it but don't want all these problems. if you have this faucet, any comments. pro or con, would be appreciated, And if you have another brand of faucet with very similar design and function, I would appreciate knowing which faucet you own that you really love. By the way, I like the look of brushed/satin nickel as well as stainless steel.

What about Moen align? I always try to buy Moen kitchen faucets. They have the best customer service. Plumbers love them. Should anything go wrong, they often send you a new faucet no questions asked. They are not as design forward as Delta. (Brizo is Delta) But they usually have something that is close enough.

Moen Align

I'm going to be the dissenter here - our new house has all Moen fixtures and I'm not a fan. From the looks of it, I have the Align in the Pantry and I find the hose isn't long enough, the spray is too sparse and too strong where it does exist, it doesn't "remember" where I left it (spray vs stream), and if you touch it even lightly in the wrong place, it switches to the "other" option. I plan to replace it when we redo part of the Kitchen. (And the island sink will not have a Moen faucet!)

Oh, and do NOT get black. Every one of the fixtures - Kitchen, Bathrooms, Pantry, Laundry Room - is black and they are all showing wear and tear, including the black finish coming off. The house was built in 2020, so they're not that old!

I will be putting in Kohler faucets in the redo - either brushed stainless steel or brushed nickel.

I had Kohler in our previous Kitchen and the only issue we had was with the rubber knob on our Vinatta faucet head - it did wear out, but Kohler sent us a new head for free 3 times over the 17 years we had it. I would not recommend the rubber knob. The other faucets that had either a rocker switch or none (bathrooms) were all in perfect working condition and looked as good as new when we sold the house this past spring. I did have a mix of SS and brushed nickel, no black.

It's possible the black finish is an issue for all brands, but I don't know one way or the other.

This Elkay Allure faucet (photos below) is working great. I've only had it for 2 months, but so far I am very pleased. I have had an Elkay faucet (in another home) for about 17 years which it's still looking and performing great.

Both of my Elkay faucets do not have a pull down sprayer.

This new faucet has a spout able to rotate 360 degrees, so I was able to request the plumber install it with the handle facing front/forward. My older faucet handle is on the right. I much prefer the ease of working with the handle facing forward.

Here is the Elkay Allure LK7921SSS (satin stainless steel).

Moen Arbor - I have one in every kitchen and bar/prep sink in three homes. Friend who is a CMKBD recommends for all of her clients if they don't know what they want for faucets.
