This KOHLER K-560-VS is a reasonably priced pull-down faucet with an extremely useful high-arch design that stops it from interfering with anything that you are cleaning with the water flow.
The DockNetik function (which is magnetized) means it’s always easy to get the head to reattach in exactly your preferred position when you’re done with it too.

This Delta Faucet Linden Kitchen model is WaterSense certified and is guaranteed to be entirely lead-free (we should hope so) and thus, it’s kinder to the planet than some.
It looks gorgeous, if you like this style of faucet, and it won’t break the bank either.
We were also pleased to find the supplied hose line to be of a generous length.

KOHLER K-596-CP Simplice Kitchen Faucet
Another sleek and attractive faucet from KOHLER.
This one is particularly light weight and can be installed in pretty much every kitchen due to its diminutive size.
However, this comes at the cost of flow rate and while it’s eco-friendly 1.8 gallons per minute is the bare minimum performance we’d accept.
Quick Fact: Installation of this product tends to be problem free because it’s small and light.

It also offers a 3-mode head from spray to stream to pause which is very handy when washing things in the sink.
Quick Fact: If you want full control over operation – you can choose to mount the handle on either side or in the middle of the faucet, whatever you like best.
