The faucet arm curves up above the sink at a higher level than the previous faucets we've had in our kitchen. However, after an initial adjustment period, we actually like the higher level more. Too many times I couldn't turn over a pan or cookie sheet because it clanked up against the faucet. With this faucet, there is enough clearance for all of our pans and cookie sheets and bowls.
Additionally, the water flow control has a good and easy-to-use range. Small adjustments to strength of flow and temperature of the water are easy to make. Small taps don't move the dial from blistering hot to ice cold or from full flow to tiny drizzle. While this might seem to be a "given" for the average faucet, we have had two kitchen faucets (neither of them cheap) that offered less control over flow and temperature.
The only "drawback" --for us--is the placement of the water control lever on the right side of the fixture. Yes, we could have installed it with the controller on the left, but the problem would have been the same one: you always have to hold the item to be washed in the same hand (either left or right, depending on the way it has been set up). Pick the "wrong" hand, and you have to reach across the water stream to move the control lever. We have had lift-up levers in the past that were equally accessible from either hand, so we have had to adjust to the new configuration. It isn't a "problem," but it is something to which we must adapt.
Finally, we like the water flow control, called the "pull-down wand." The wand has a button which selects either "stream" or "spray." This button works smoothly and efficiently and is not difficult to engage. Previous faucets we have owned had small buttons to push, and after a while it took some effort to push them down completely. That is not the case with this fixture. The wand can be easily pulled down and directed around the sink or down inside a pot or pan to scrub out a utensil.
The bottom line for us? An outstanding fixture that works perfectly and looks great!
