Moen Arbor Chrome Motionsense Two-Sensor Touchless One-Handle Pulldown Kitchen Faucet with Power Clean Technology - 7594ORB | Hands-Free Operation for Hygienic Cooking & Dishwashing in Modern Kitchens

I don't usually write reviews, but reviews helped me select this faucet and to install it. I'm extremely grateful to all reviewers. I felt compelled to give back by also writing a review. This purchase was a replacement & update from our Delta faucet.DELTA/MOEN: Our 1st Moen. Have always had Delta throughout home. Original intent was to buy Delta until deciding to update to touchless. Chose Moen for Motion Wave Sensor not requiring touch w/ dirty hand (unlike Delta's Touch - which defeats purpose) and imagining Delta's Touch to accidentally turn on water when moving/wiping faucet. Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty a definite plus. Finalized decision when read Plumber's review saying due to difference in design, Delta tends to leak underneath sink whereas Moren tends to leak around faucet base/handle (causing less potential damage b/c cabinetry not involved).PRICE/DELIVERY: As usual, can't go wrong w/ Amazon's competitive price, good return policy and fast delivery. Same faucet priced much higher at box store. (Admittedly I have growing concerns re: Amazon's decreasing quality control, i.e., sending used items, allowing knock offs, etc.). For days I searched multiple websites, read tons of reviews, and verified Amazon is an authorized seller before ordering. Faucet was packaged well, next day delivered (Wow!), and all items appeared new.FEATURES: Chose side sensor to avoid unwanted turn on of water which I imagined would drive me crazy w/ 2 sensors model. I was concerned the same would happen when drying around base of this faucet, (next to sensor), however, hand is actually below sensor (so it doesn't activate), and as long as wrist/forearm is out of sensor range it won't inadvertently turn on. Thought to prevent triggering sensor I would need to remove items on left side of faucet, but it hasn't been a problem. Just maintain the recommended distance (our items are ~4 inches from sensor).INSTALLATION: Though many reviews mentioned easy installation, we aren't DIYers, so initially intended Plumber to do install. After Plumber estimated to charge approximately the same amount as the cost of faucet (What!!!), we decided to try installing it ourselves. It was easy but took much longer than others (3 hrs including prep). Most of the time used removing old faucet and taking our time to not make a mistake (causing us to need expensive Plumber). -*TIPS* - Watch several videos on how to install faucet AND how to remove old faucet - Take time to read instructions vs looking at diagram only. Fully read instructions then go back and follow each step - Don't skip steps; may cause miscalibration of data box/sensor - I followed reviewer's suggestion to use pillow, blanket to pad under sink for comfort (also used garden knee pad). Boy, this was helpful! - Wear protective eyewear. Water would've dripped directly into my eye had I not had eye protection - Attach water hoses in loop or spiral pattern (not kinked) for good water flow - Place battery case as close to cabinet door as possible so not have to crawl under sink to replace batteries. Having to crawl under sink for battery exchange was a repeated complaint leading ppl to buy an adapter or to not like faucet. - Another review suggested position battery case upside down. (Case will then open from top vs bottom). Prevents need to squat/kneel to open case - Helpful to have 2 people, one to stabilize faucet while other tightens nut under sink. If no 2nd person may try taping base of faucet to sink/countertop to hold it in place until tightened; place towel around faucet to prevent damage if it falls over - Place towel in sink to prevent things falling into drain/damaging sink - I read, or learned from a video, to make sure nothing is setting or person/pet moving in the activation range (think its 8 inches) of sensor when battery cable is plugged into data box (and for a few seconds after); could cause sensor miscalibration (potentially causing water to turn on/off by itself, etc.).USE/PROS/CONS: 1. Chose oil rubbed bronze although concerned re: reviews stating color wasn't uniformed. Our spout is slightly lighter shade than rest of faucet; perhaps because it's made of a different/lighter material (assuming to enable docking) than the rest of (metal) faucet. Don't think I'd noticed difference had I not been looking for it due to reviews. Doesn't bother me, and husband hasn't noticed/mentioned it. 2. Spray control button doesn't feel solid but works well. 3. Pull Down Hose could be little longer but is sufficient and probably better to not be longer to avoid taking up more room/rubbing items under sink. 4. If water is on, Pull Down Hose slowly recedes & needs a nudge to dock. If water is off, hose retracts quickly & fully docks. 5. No problems w/ water pressure/flow/temp. 1-2 drops of water after shut off, but doesn't "drip" (Went from 1.8 (previous Delta) to 1.5 gpm. Have tankless water heater. Not many reviews mentioned tank type which is something I was interested in knowing pre-purchase). 6. Takes getting use to; Handle has a different feel (guess b/c its electronic). A little tricky adjusting flow to trickle. 7. Power Clean spray, hose flexibility and sensor are great! (Loving it!). 8. *Biggest Con & Reason for Minus Star*- Not able to drip faucet during freezing weather. Bummer! Thought so long as faucet had power, via battery or electric, and handle used instead of sensor (sensor has 2 minutes shut off) could drip faucet overnight. Apparently handle has shut off time (> 30 minutes. Exact time? Just know after running 30 mins, I left it running, returned to find it stopped & handle still in on position. Maybe a battery saving/safety feature? Felt leaving it running for long period/overnight (may) not be good in regard to battery and/or solenoid overuse/burnout). I'm comforted no reviews (from those who owned it for yrs) mentioned busted pipes, so I'm hoping for the best.ADAPTER: I don't plan to use adapter/splitter 1. Per reviews, it seems to cause sensor/controller to not operate well. 2. Moen recommends it not be used in same outlet that operates an on/off switch, such as garbage disposal. (As w/ our outlet). When disposal is off sensor/controller may not work. 3. Since battery case is next to cabinet door, no need to crawl under sink to replace batteries. 4. We purchase batteries wholesale. 5. Hopefully batteries will last the advertised year, so smaller environmental imprint (though many said they lasted weeks/months not year; We'll see.). 6. Batteries eliminate power outage worry. 7. Less clutter/wires/space taken under sink. 8. Appears faucet may have been designed (more) specifically for battery use; many noted it works optimally w/ battery vs electric (performance difference w/ 9V battery vs 12V adapter)FAUCET LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! (Hope it has the lasting quality of our previous Delta faucet. We'll see.)
