What's your #1 choice for your kitchen?

Washing dishes can be tedious and sometimes not fun, especially for those without dishwashers. However, with the right faucet, maybe it doesn't have to be that way. Which would you prefer in your kitchen, the arching spout of a pull-down faucet or a pull-out faucet with its extending spout?

    I love my pull-down Delta, BUT I have real problems controlling the water temperature. Next faucet will have separate hot and cold handles, but hopefully I can still have the pull down sprayer feature.

    Pull down would be my choice as the water would be more flexible as to where you want the spray to go.

    I have the pull out now after a couple of years it doesn't want to go all the way back in but I do like it.

    I don't like either type. The pull-down is too tall and bulky for my taste and the pull-out, at least the ones that I have had, fail to retract after time. I like my current traditional faucet with its separate sprayer.

    I think i would like the pull down. i use the sprayer a lot but a pull down would be handier.

    I have had both. Pull down gets it hands down!

    I would not buy either one. The more moving parts you have, the more can go wrong with the faucet. Give me a traditional hot and cold handles anytime.

    I have had both faucets, the pull down is aesthetically my favorite but it has its downfalls. Because the hose is taller it creates more of a splash when spraying. The second issue I noticed, if you try to spray the front of the sink your aiming towards yourself. The coils are too stiff to give you much flexibility.

    Definitely pull down. Have had two pull outs and not very reliable.

    We've had a pull-out faucet in our kitchen for over 7 years and love it! Has one knob for water temp. We've had no issues with retraction or water temp control like others have mentioned. Might depend on the brand/quality/warranty of the product. Years ago when I was a dishwasher at a Holiday Inn restaurant, I used the pull-down faucet. Loved it back then. If you have a huge sink, the pull-down type would be more to scale. For my home, with residential cooking, I prefer the pull-out. If I was doing commercial scale cooking, the pull-down might be my preference.
