Kitchen Faucets

Nomad · 08-12-2006, 08:16 AM

I recently bought an overpriced kitchen faucet. In searching for the right one I found that $1000.00 is not unheard of and 3 4 5 $600.00 is very common. The faucet makers are raping us.

Highway robbery. Just for a means for getting the water from the pipes to the glass.

I feel the same way, but my daughter who is an artist pays a lot for esthetically correct ones.

And people are actually crazy enough to pay this!

They are expensive. We paid $200 for my last one. It's really cool though. It looks alot like the one in the pic attached. In the place of my old pull out spray nozzle I have a built in soap dispenser.

When I was having this house built, I was told I just HAD to get Moen faucets..they were the best. My kitchen faucet broke inside of two years. The replacement is not in the best of shape. Have had to replace the sprayer twice. When I do get a new kitchen faucet I want one similar to what Nomad pictured..where the sprayer is part of the faucet..and it is higher.

It is a Faucet keep it in perspective gang... they all get old, rust, and break.. nothing last forever so buy the middle of the road priced one, they will just as long, if not longer then the $1,000.00 ones.

Remember nothing is made with the quality of years gone by. Everything is massed produced so keep that in mind..

Your going to want to change it in 5 years any way, so don't think life time on FAUCETS..

I can understand that, ZChick (that's my new nickname for you)

If it's something that you look at and use every single day, it should give you pleasure.

It would make me smile inside every time I used it.

What is this strange tongue you speak in ? Do you mean a tap ?

I didn't pay that much for mine, it was around $100 or less. Very spiffy one too, with the spray nozzle and everything.
