For the past couple of years, every kitchen on TV has one of those high
loop kitchen faucets with a pull down sprayer. I was curious how
practical they really are.

Couple of weeks ago our 20 year old Moen started to act up. For a few
bucks I can get a cartridge to fix it, but instead, decided to replace
it. We chose a modest priced American Standard but you can pay from
about $120 to $500 for one.

Now that I've used it for two weeks, it is a very handy design and makes
rinsing big pots or sink cleanup easy. No way would I go back to the
old style single lever design we had all our lives. If you have to
repair or replace, this is the way to go.
