We have had Kohler in every home and they are terrific. If you have problems down the road they send you the parts or replacements. I had faucets in our home last 12 years no problems. A vote for Always buy Kohler.
thanks, excellent and very helpful review! this is a real comparison! you have no idea how many "comparison" videos that are just affiliated marketing I had to skip to find yours. 😂
I bought a Kohler Arsdale R24213-VS.... Its a "water saving unit". The water saving valve (restrictor) is reducing the water pressure too too much. I'm getting a very low water flow. Kohler is going to send me a replacement valve thing. We'll see if that helps. Can you show how to remove that plastic control valve piece. It has a small metal clip.....
White the tests are interesting, it did not reflect my experience with faucet installation, removal and typical failure. A long time a go, I had the same mind set about metal nut/screw installation for faucet, etc.. and chose a high end Delta kitchen faucet over an equivalent one from Moen. The delta faucet has metal nut and once installed it was solid. However, after about 6 years, the water connection under the cabinet started to leak so I had to replace the faucet. That is when I found out the hard way the huge negative of metal nut. The metal nut basically welded itself to the faucet due to moisture sweating from the faucet metal base over the years. It took my brother in law and I over an hour to remove it and almost break the granite counter top in the process (My brother in law is a plumber by the way). We replaced it with a Moen kitchen faucet with a plastic nut and metal base under the sink. The installation while require another person to hold the faucet, was solid after it was done and clearly when we need to remove it it will be very easy to cut the plastic nut off if it ever comes to that. So IMHO, for most home owner, the two things the Moen faucet superior for a typical home kitchen faucet installation are: a) Plastic nut which will never bond to the faucet hence will be much easier to remove. b) The water connection is more than good enough for typical home water pressure and I have yet to experience a leak after 6 years (knock on wood) Another thing impressed me about Moen was/is their customer service. I called in four times over the years to get cartridge and aerators replacements for 15+ years old faucets through out my house and they were very helpful with free replacement parts and shipping. Not once they asked for receipt. Long story short, unless there is something really wrong with Moen as a company in the future, I will always buy Moen faucet. They have earned my trust.
When the sprayer let go on the kohler it probably took away from your 1000 psi to the rest of the faucet. I know the moen leaked but I believe more of the 1000 psi went to the cartridge etc. Still a good comparison but not entirely accurate in my opinion.
Be careful. Nowadays, if you buy a Kohler fixture at Home Depot, they will put a target on your back and you will start to get spam calls. Did you buy fixtures at Home Depot? Do you need help? Do you need a contractor? Am I bothering you? Am I calling your personal phone? If we can come to your home do you have any dogs that will bite? What kind of car do you have? How can we tell where your house is? Are we bothering you? Things like this have got to stop
Thank you for the video. I'm not sure about Kohler but I know with past experience that Moen, much like countless other mega-million dollar businesses, has adopted the You-Make-Us-Rich-And-We-Provide-You-Absolute-Shitty-Customer-Service policies
I noticed the Kohler sprayer snaps back after you pushed on it. last time I looked my water pressure was not 4000 lbs of pressure. And who makes a sink out of plywood anymore? Maybe after he Gets fired from Kohler, he can work for Electrolux selling the vacuums. I liked the French accent, though.🙈🚰👨🔧
