Traditional Kitchen Faucet Review

            Hey there everyone,

            I’m here to post a quick informational review about buying a traditional kitchen faucet. If you didn’t already know, a traditional faucet is one that has two separate hot and cold water handles, so they’re the very first kind of American faucet that came out. With all the rage about touchless faucets and whatnot, I’m here to advocate for purchasing a traditional faucet.

            Now, I’m no stickler or anything, but if you just LOOK at a traditional faucet, you’ll see where I’m coming from.

            Traditional faucets come in a huge variety of different designs, styles, and finishes, so it’s nearly impossible not to find a beautiful traditional kitchen faucet (I've found a great place to look online is plumbersstock.com) for your exact needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re buying Moen, Kohler, American Standard, or any other manufacture of kitchen faucets, you’ll love having a huge selection to pick from.

            While touchless faucets are cool, they’re very limited to what kind of finishes and styles they can come in, and the technology isn’t very accurate. Sure, we live in a technological era, but perhaps it would be better for us to wait until the touchless technology has been perfected before spending money on a faucet that has a low lifespan, inaccurate readings, and hard-to-find replacement parts.

            With your traditional kitchen faucet, you won’t need to worry about whether or not the sensor picked up on your movements and wait for the water to come out. All you have to do is pick your handle, hot or cold, and TURN ON the water. It’s so easy!

            The biggest nuisance with a traditional kind of faucet is the germ-factor: unfortunately, because you’ll be touching the handles so much, you may harbor all sorts of nasty bacteria and viruses. However, this is readily fixed by wiping down your faucet with a Clorox towelette, which will kill all the germs while making your faucet gleam and sparkle.

            Besides that small inconvenience, there really isn’t much that counts as a con towards a traditional kitchen faucet. Replacements parts are easy to find and affordable to buy, and any good plumber will be able to fix whatever problem your faucet may have, simply because it’s been around for such a long time.

            Now, just because a traditional faucet has history, doesn’t mean it hasn’t been revamped for the modern age. We live in a world of convenience, so don’t think for one second that owning a traditional faucet means giving up some of those optional features you love. Nearly all traditional kitchen faucets come with options such as a pull-out sprayer, a pull-down sprayer, and a soap dispenser. Traditional doesn’t mean living in the past, after all. It simply means classic, and with all the choices you’ll have when choosing your faucet, an elegant and sophisticated double-handled kitchen faucet may just turn out to be the jewel of your kitchen.

            Stay brilliant and happy shopping!
