Hansgrohe Talis N Black High Arc Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer - Matte Black for Modern Kitchens

This faucet is a perfect complement to my workstation sink with the smooth operating pulldown nozzle, strong stream and spray. I got it with the S-Box feature, which I would recommend, as it makes pulling the nozzle out and, even better, returning smoothly and easily. Because it is so easy to use, and the magnetic catch at the top snaps it back in place, I am getting used to bringing the water to the task, which eliminates waste and splashing.Filling pots and watering cans on the counter is safer and easier with the length of the hose. The regular stream is focused and strong, which I like, although if it hits a bowl or spoon on the bottom of the sink, there will be splashing. The spray is also strong and easy to toggle the switch back and forth. I do like that the faucet reverts to the stream when turned off as I know what I'm going to get when I next use it. If I forget that I last used it in spray mode, I don't like being surprised by getting water everywhere. For me this is a plus, not a problem.Materials and manufacturing are top-quality German issue with very smooth operation. Most folks won't use these features, but there are internal settings for how far the faucet swings to each side, where the hot/cold range is on the handle for customizing the functions.
