Moen S71708Csl Ascent One-Handle High Arc Pull Down Kitchen Faucet, Classic Stainless Review

Love, love, love Moen. They make a quality product and as we spruce up parts of our house, we've been replacing all of our faucets with Moen.

This particular faucet is beautiful. Very shiny, with a pretty handle, high arch (as is currently in vogue), and (yay) built-in sprayer. It arrived in the mail today, and I was so excited that I prodded my husband into action --even though he's officially on vacation.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
--We installed this faucet on our three hole stainless steel double sink. The S71708 looks fine with stainless, although there is a contrast in the degree of shininess.

--Our old faucet was also a single handle. It had a plate which covered the other two holes. (There is one on either side of the central hole that the faucet rests in.) The S71708 does not have such a plate. This means that either you have to buy the little metal buttons-caps to cover the holes, or get a new sink, if yours is like ours :(

The Moen site suggests filling one hole with a soap dispenser: Moen 3942Csl Soap/Lotion Dispensers, Classic Stainless. A rather pricey option, but one we are definitely considering.

--Installing likely won't be as long for you as us as our old faucet was rusted in place. However, we would advise you to ignore the written instructions and study the pictures instead. The latter made it very clear what you needed to do; while the former were unclear and confusing.

Frustratingly, the instructions show a plate to cover the holes as 'optional'. The plate is not available at either the Moen website or Amazon.

--The pull down sprayer retracts most of the time without needing any help. However, it sometimes needs a tap to get it into place. We are going to add an additional weight underneath the sink which should fix this.

--The pull down sprayer does not appear to be metal. And, in fact, none of the upper pieces 'attract' a magnet

--The rise in the faucet neck is wonderful. With my old-style faucet I had a heck of a time filling any large cooking pots --like for spaghetti-- but not a problem now.

--The arch in the faucet is almost too large. It stretches past the half-way point in the sink and I'm thinking that it's more appropriate for a sink where the counter has the hole. The neck of the faucet is also very large in circumference.

--The Moen S71708 is low-lead compliant.

--The Moen S71708 is NOT made in the USA.

--In the comments I will give a link for a site that I thought was helpful.

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER
I would carefully consider the dimension of this faucet. It has a very broad arch and might be best for applications where the hole has been drilled in the counter top, or for broad farm-style sinks. In this case of installing it in a counter top hole you should note that the S71708 requires a 1" space from the backsplash to the faucet.

You should also consider the shiny finish. It might clash with some decors, and it might show prints/spots.

Finally, for sinks like mine, it will not cover the other holes. I'm going to get a soap dispenser, which got good reviews, and a button-cap.

SUMMARY OF MY THOUGHTS
As I stated at the beginning of my review, I am a fan of Moen products. I like this product and was VERY, VERY happy to receive it, but I probably would have purchased one of the sister-faucets. One in a brushed finished, and which was more than just 'low lead' compliant. As far as I can discern the water doesn't touch anything other than plastic, and it's my guess that the lead is part of the chrome finish. I'll be calling Moen to see if I can get some answers, and I'll be posting them when I do.
