Kitchen Faucets

[Hi Ho]

The handle on the $50 Costco faucet has fallen off for the last time. I need a good faucet. Who makes the best single handle faucet for around $100? Three brands come to mind; Price Pfister, Delta, and Moen. I have Price Pfister faucets in my bathroom and they have proven to be excellent. The faucet in the shower is probably 30+ years old and has gone through several bathroom remodels and it still looks and works like new.

Is there such a thing as a very good quality faucet for around $100?

Unless you want to crank out the cash for a high-end piece, anything for around $100 is made in China. So as long as you go with a decent brand, you are going to get about the same stuff. Plastic innerds with plated plastic finish on the outside and rubber o-rings.

I put Delta faucets in the bathroom and they have worked great. Slightly more upper end than $100, but they actually have some metal in them. The kitchen one I put in about 2 years ago is a Moen I think and it has worked well to date. But it was more than $100 because it has that spray option that is also the spout. Meaning you pull out the spout and it becomes a sprayer on a hose.

I think any of the brands you listed will be fine.

I found this Delta model on Amazon.

It says it's rated for 5 million uses and has a lifetime warranty.

I have had Delta in my house from day one, a few days ago
My kitchen faucet had a color finish on it but the bottom of that single handle corroded. I was goung to replace just the handle; no longer made in color
Delta replace the whole faucet, free with matching soap dispenser, etc. Similar to what you linked to. I don't think this wastheir first replacement of afaucet for me. Never a question of receipts, where baught, etc. When the faucets were still available, they replaced parts no problem. Customer service is great too.
I kind of like this company.
