I believe it's a Moen faucet that we ended up installing for our kitchen sink (not sure though as it has been a number of years). And so far, it has indeed held up rather well – the chrome finish still shines and the button for switching from stream to spray works the same as it did when it was new out of the box. To be honest, I'm just glad I don't have to dig around undert the sink again, though I suspect thanks to this new install, any future replacements won't be as challenging (or at least I hope so!).

Hope that answers your question, Scott.

Of course, the other factor that weighed in for going for the more expensive models is the aesthetics. After all, one of the two rooms potential home buyers are always drawn to is the kitchen and while most of us regard a faucet as being a functional device, it has recently been elevated to being an important element in the overall design and feel of the kitchen environment.

Given the current economic environment, it’s practical business sense to protect your primary investment – your home – by making sure you make changes that will help maintain if not increase its overall value.

It’s also rather reassuring to know that the added expense we paid will ensure I won’t have to worry about this faucet for many, many years.
