Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a luxurious, ultra-modern high-arc kitchen faucet for a contemporary styled kitchen.

Pros:

• Quick connect installation – The unique Hydrolock installation system simplifies the installation process to make it quicker and easier for you. The supplied flexible water lines can be connected to the faucet in a jiffy to 3/8″ connections without the use of any tools.
• The Moen 90 Degree Pullout Kitchen Faucet is styled to perfection with its ultra-modern, high-arc design that is wonderful to look at. A classic stainless finish gives it a sleek, sophisticated image that is sure to impress the most sceptical of guests.
• High functionality is provided by Moen’s advanced 1255 Duralast cartridge system. This ensures fluid and responsive lever action each time you pull down the one-handle lever. The keyed outer shell delivers superior temperature precision via the 100˚ arc of the handle movement, all without any guessing on your part.
• The pullout wand utilizes Moen’s Reflex pulldown system that is designed to deliver the smoothest and most efficient performance. The spouts 3-function sprayer allows you to alternate between a powerful rinse, an aerated stream plus a pause feature when you need to stop the stream quickly at short notice.
• The faucet itself features a 360˚ rotating spout for optimum manoeuvrability to reach any area of the sink.

Cons:

• The small square frame for the lever handle is prone to coming off occasionally. However, it can be put back on without problem so it’s a minor annoyance, but something worth noting.
• The water flow rate delivered by this faucet is low at just 1.5 GPM so if you require the speed to fill up things quickly this could prove to be frustrating.
• The tall height of the faucet means the spout doesn’t go far down into a standard sized sink. This results in water splashing when at the maximum flow rate.

Summary

We love the clean lines and the elegant square corners of this Moen faucet. The contemporary styling is just great and incredibly distinctive. However, there are some quality issues apparent, particular with the handles square frame coming loose.

If you’re enamoured by the look of this faucet and you can live with these drawbacks then it could be the perfect choice for you, particularly if you have a deep style sink.
