The 5 criteria to choose a kitchen faucet

Functionality

This category is not just to judge how well a faucet works in its main capacity but also how well its other functions perform. What makes it different from other faucets, and what makes it the top pick for each category?

Cleanability

Kitchen Faucets are one of the most frequently used appliances in the kitchen and get smudged and dirty during use. I noted any aspects of each faucet that made them easier to clean than Others, and whether or not they have any special features like a spot-resistant finish or touch-clean nozzle holes.

Durability

Kitchen faucets can be substantial financial investments, so you'll want them to hold up over thousands of separate uses per year. I judged each faucet for its overall durability and kept an eye out for any specific mechanisms or components that make it more or less durable than other options.

Ease of use

Fancy bells and whistles or cool features aren't worth much if they're not simple to use. I paid special attention to any operational issues that could arise and whether or not the spray head and other components were easy and convenient to use and manipulate effectively.

Installation

I did my best to familiarize myself with the specific installation procedures of each faucet by downloading manuals, watching online videos, and using my personal experience to identify any specific quirks or issues that might arise.
