Choosing A New Delta Kitchen Faucet

Our old faucet broke a few weeks ago, and we didn't really want to rush out and buy another one. We were able to glue down the base so it wouldn't leak and would shut off, but we knew it was a short term solution. It was time to hunt for a new kitchen faucet.

Delta was one of the top brands we looked at. Their website shows the kitchen line as having fourteen different main styles to choose from, and within that there are dozens more variations on the theme. That is a lot of choices.

The options include faucets with additional sprayer wands, some without, some have a high goose like swooping neck, others have a shorter faucet neck. There is even one that is at a complete 90 degree angle, it's appropriately named the Grail, and it does look like something from history that you'd see on an old hand pump. The old fashioned look is coming back into style I guess.

There are single handle options and those with separate knobs for hot and cold (not my personal favorite). From an ease of use standpoint I think it's much easier to have just one faucet to adjust instead of using both hands to adjust two knobs. When you have young ch2213ildren and are usually holding that wriggling child in one arm you only have one free hand to adjust water temperature.

Some of them come with soap and lotion dispensers, which I think is a waste of space and money. However some people do use them so if this is useful to know at least know it is an option.
