Best Kitchen Faucets 2011-2012

Brushed Nickel Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer (life time limited warranty)
Price: $59.99
Beautiful, sturdy and a great value : If you are looking for a beautiful, well-priced kitchen faucet with sprayer, this is it! It installed easily and quickly (DIY). Handles turn smoothly and the aerator outputs water in a nice flow (not "spitzy" or splashy)

Delta Leland 9178-SS-DST Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, Stainless
Price: $192.20
Looks fancy and works great : Well built and works great. The pull of the hose has just the right resistance. The head locks back into using a magnet to keep it tight. There's a switch right on the nozzle to go between spray and stream. My wife's comment was "why didn't we do this sooner?". Install was pretty simple. Faucet is tall so make sure you have room.

KOHLER K-10433-VS Forte Single Control Pullout Kitchen Sink Faucet with Color-Matched Sprayhead and Lever Handle, Vibrant Stainless
Price: $180.95
The best feature and the one that sets this faucet apart from all the others is the solid push button for switching from spray to stream. It won't come apart in a few months like all the units with the rubber cover over the button. This is a real benefit if you plan on keeping your faucet functional for more than a few months. (notice how many with the rubber button are messed up in the showrooms!)

Delta Leland 978-SSSD-DST Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser, Stainless
Price: $193.64
The pull-out nozzle works very well and retracts back for a perfect fit. The volume of water at the nozzle is better than average flow and the lever control moves with just a light touch. If you follow manufacturer directions, this unit is easy to install and works great. It is the perfect decorative accent to any kitchen. I would highly recommend this unit as a replacement or new install.

American Standard 4332.350.002 Pekoe Semi-Professional Single Control Kitchen Faucet, Polished Chrome
Price: $331.11
Gorgeous, great price, great faucet. This is a very nice faucet but the design is flawed for a refit use. There really should be a gasket on the compression fitting.
This is a pretty typical feature & makes for a much easier time getting a really good seal when replacing an existing faucet. We finally were able to make it work but it would have been such a fast & easy installation if they had only included a gasket in the design. Product arrived in perfect condition.
