Damn kitchen faucet is acting up. I turn it on and when you push the lever down it doesn't shut off. I have to push down on the rear of the faucet to turn it off. This is the second one I've had in 6 years and it looks like it will be going back to Home Depot for a replacement. The first one started leaking out of the center where the water supply comes up into the bottom of the faucet head.
Isn't Moen supposed to be good? Oh well, last time I replaced it they just gave me a brand new one for free.
This is a $200 faucet and not some $20 builder special either.
Update: Well, searched around online for a suitable replacement and then went down to Home Depot Expo in Encinitas a couple weeks ago and looked at a top of the line Grohe faucet and ended up buying this online. A $500 kitchen faucet. My wife thinks I'm nuts for spending this much money on a faucet but after getting it and installing it I think it looks fantastic. We plan on replacing our oven and fridge with stainless steel models soon anyway so this will go nicely with those appliances. We already replaced the dishwasher with a stainless steel model about a year ago.
The install was easy and this thing is built like a tank. Heavy and very sturdy construction. I expect it to last for many many years and look good as well.
