I believe its a Delta brand. Garbage metallurgy, cheap porous casting, probably Taiwan made. Could care less about a warranty with this company and don't want another from them. Wife wants the following features - goose neck, single lever, pullout sprayer, multi spray head (spray, stream and pause).
Looked at Pfister, American Standard, Moen, Kohler. Only American Standard noted on the carton as being made in Mexico. Moen mentions parts are China, Taiwan, Mexico and 'some assembly done in USA'. The others don't mention on the cartons where manufactured. What are they hiding? Some of the rubberized levers on Kohler are junk as they were falling off on the display shelves. Others had a stainless looking spray head but actually just a plated plastic.
Whats good these days? |
Waterstone makes good faucets. All of their faucets are made in the USA. Don't worry about quality. They are good at making faucets. I recently wrote an article on the best American made kitchen faucets.
Click here to see the list. You'll get all types of kitchen faucets you listed above in the article.
I know this is an old thread. Just wanted to give some shout about the topic as there is not enough resource on the internet about American made faucets.
