Month: March 2022

If your potential customers enjoy the look and convenience of the modern gooseneck design, the Brizo must be a top brand option to offer. With the exception of the Baliza single-handle pull-out kitchen faucet, every collection and design features a variation of the high-arc gooseneck faucet.

That may make it easier for owners to fill-up pans, pet dishes, or take care of sink-based chores. It also means that, with limited design options available, homeowners may look at other brands if they’re looking at a variety of aesthetic upgrades for their kitchen.

There is no doubt about the quality of a Brizo kitchen faucet. It is a brand that fuses traditional features with a modern look to create a one-of-a-kind experience once installed.

About Brizo as a Brand

Brizo is a brand that focuses upon luxury fittings. It focuses on providing distinctive designs for people to enjoy in every aspect of their life.

What makes this brand unique is that it doesn’t just stay focused on kitchen or bathroom fixtures. Brizo is also a primary sponsor for Jason Wu, who is a top fashion designer with clothing, eyewear, and fragrance collections. Wu and Brizo combined with other partners to create a unique bath collection that combines his fashion and the brand’s unique style and innovation to create stunning outcomes.

Brizo likes to see their kitchen faucets, along with their other fixtures, as inspired works of art. To this manufacturer, a faucet isn’t just a fitting. That’s why every collection is listed as being “By Brizo.” Every kitchen faucet is signed with those two words to provide evidence of the fact that it is thought of as a beautiful work of art.

As a brand, there is also a focus on helping children and those in need that has helped to define their mission. Brizo was the first national sponsor of the Dream Home Giveaway, which is a program offered by St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

The goal of the brand can be summed up in this statement. “We have an ongoing commitment to improve not just rooms, but entire communities.”

How Good Are Brizo Kitchen Faucets? 

Brizo kitchen faucets are treated more as a premium upgrade rather than a quick upgrade value. These faucets are built to last thanks to their innovative functions and fashion-forward designs.

We performed a complete review of all retail sites that promote and/or sell Brizo faucets and collect public reviews. According to our observations, the brand receives very high marks, averaging a 4.6 out of 5 across all retail platforms.

We also reviewed websites that collect consumer complaints about products and found Brizo still generates high marks. Our research indicates on complaint sites alone, a 3.5 rating out of 5 is the average – quite high considering the purpose of a complaint site is to focus on problematic issues with the brand.

What we’ve discovered in our thorough review of all public comments about the kitchen faucets from Brizo is that there is overwhelming support for the fashion-forward thinking of each design. One comment is offered more often than other: “I would rate my Brizo faucet 5 stars on its looks alone.”

As we dug into the complaints that are offered by this brand, we found one trend tends to be the source of what little discomfort there happens to be. Many of the faucets tend to cause some splashing because there may be an aerator not incorporated with the design or the gooseneck arc is too high for the sink.

If you are conducting a professional installation with a Brizo faucet, we would highly recommend gauging the homeowner’s water pressure and flow rates. A higher GPM or greater PSI tends to cause a majority of the splashing issues. There are lower GPM flow regulators, which are available from Brizo that can limit this potential issue rather effectively. 

For Brizo, complaints are the exception instead of the rule. If complaints do occur, the brand is quick to respond through multiple platforms to resolve whatever issues may be creating a negative experience. In our review, it is one of the most responsive brands on the Internet right now.

What Faucet Types Are Available Right Now from Brizo? 

When recommending the Brizo collections to consumers or looking for DIY installation options, there are several faucet types currently manufactured by this brand.

• One Handle Pull Down Kitchen Faucets
• One Handle Pull Out Kitchen Faucets
• Two Handle Bridge Faucets with Side Sprayers
• Touchless Kitchen Faucets
• Articulating Kitchen Faucets with SmartTouch Technology

There are also several discontinued collections that may be available in limited numbers that could provide other faucet design options for specific kitchens.

One of the top designs that is worth recommending from Brizo, especially for homeowners that are looking for a commercial-style kitchen faucet, is the articulating model that is available through the Litze collection. This faucet creates a contemporary look with commercial handling, but without the unsightly springs that some competitive designs offer.

The total height of this faucet is 21.5 inches and a maximum flow rate of 1.8 GPM is available with 60 PSI. It features tapping functionality for turning the temperature memory on or off. It is supported by a dual-jointed articulating arm and a hose that offers users extra flexibility. Decks of up to 3 inches are accommodated with this design and touch-clean nozzles help to remove hard water mineral deposits when they form.

Diamond-seal technology is used for the valves in this unique, creating a consistent experience that provides long-lasting value to any kitchen. An optional A/C adapter is available from the manufacturer as well. It comes with standard fittings.

What Is the Warranty of a Brizo Kitchen Faucet? 

Brizo guarantees that the materials used in their kitchen faucets and the craftsmanship behind each model is free from defect for a period of 5 years after the date of purchase for commercial users. For residential installations, a limited lifetime warranty applies, but only to the original consumer who made the purchase.

Electronic components, excluding batteries, are covered by a 5-year residential warranty or a 1-year commercial warranty. If a kitchen faucet does come with batteries, no warranty for the batteries is provided.

If a warranty claim must be made, then Brizo will replace or repair the defective faucet within the applicable warranty period. In some circumstances, at their sole discretion, Brizo also may decide to offer a full refund of the purchase price upon an exchange of the defective product.

Labor charges to replace, repair, install, or remove a faucet, even if it is defective, are not covered by Brizo’s warranty.

To begin the process of filing a warranty claim, consumers can call 1 (877) 345-2749. A warranty claim in writing for US or Mexico can be sent to the following address.

Brizo Kitchen and Bath Company.
Attention: Product Service
55 East 111^th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46280

For Brizo customers living in Canada, the toll-free number remains the same. A different address for a written warranty claim, however, must be contacted.

Masco Canada Ltd. Plumbing Group
Attn: Technical Service Centre
350 S. Edgeware Road
St. Thomas, ON N5P 4L1

US and Mexico customers can also email their service claim to [email protected]. Customers in Canada can email their service claim to [email protected].

The original sales receipt must be made available at the time of a warranty claim or the product must be registered with Brizo.

Kitchen faucet installations outside of North America are not covered by this warranty.

What Is the Price of the Typical Brizo Kitchen Faucet? 

Almost all Brizo kitchen faucets are priced above $300. One of the lowest-priced collections that are available is called Solna and that typically retails for around $425 on most platforms. A majority of the collections, however, such as Artesso, Venuto, and Tal are priced between $500-$600.

The type of finish that is desired on the Brizo kitchen faucet will impact the price as well. The Brizo Venetian Bronze Artesso articulating kitchen faucet retails for more than $700. In comparison, the stainless steel Artesso faucet within the same collection retails for about $200 less on most platforms.

For the Litze SmartTouch articulating faucet with an industrial handle, the MSRP is over $900 for a model with a chrome-like finish. If you prefer one of their luxury finishes, such as the Luxe Gold option, then the MSRP on this particular faucet option is over $1,300.

Three other finishes, including stainless steel, matte black, and luxe gold, and polished nickel, are priced between those two extremes.

It would be fair to say that not every homeowner will be willing to put up the funds necessary to embrace this brand. For those who are, however, the look and feel of the kitchen will be modern, fashion-forward, and inviting.

For that reason, this brand is a top recommendation for professionals and DIY experts alike. It strikes a wonderful balance between sense and sensibility.

If you’d like more information about the Brizo brand, be sure to visit their primary website.

If you do your kitchen faucet shopping in-person, then the Aquasource brand can be quite difficult to find. The in-store presence if this brand is limited to just a couple of national chain stores in the United States and the occasional small-town hardware store.

That is because this brand is actually manufactured by several different groups. American Standard brands, Roddex, Long Tai Copper, and Global Union are all involved in the production of this value brand.

Although this can create slight inconsistencies between different collections, it is also a great choice for professionals to recommend. Obtaining wholesale lots can be quite easy, especially when purchased directly from the brand’s production facility.

About AquaSource as a Brand

AquaSource is a brand that is primarily marketed by the retailer Lowe’s. It is a discount brand, produced in combination with several different fixture manufacturers, that provides toilets, bathroom faucets, and sinks in addition to several kitchen faucet collections.

Although Lowe’s is the primary purchaser of wholesale faucet lots from AquaSource, it is important to note that it is not considered a company-owned brand. That makes determining the country of origin for the brand or who actually manufactured a specific kitchen faucet almost impossible for consumers or professionals to do.

Of course, this is just semantics.

There are several companies, which have filed trademark claims for the actual name “AquaSource” in various product categories. For kitchen faucets, bathroom fixtures, and similar products, the company on record with the trademark is listed as LF, LLC. When digging into the complete list of trademark names that are owned by LF, LLC, the trademark assigned with serial #74577802 stands out: Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse.

So here’s the deal: Lowe’s doesn’t own the AquaSource brand because it is also a brand that is owned. Both Lowe’s and AquaSource are owned by LF, LLC.

It would be fair to say that makes AquaSource a Lowe’s-specific kitchen faucet brand. You’ll also find this brand being sold frequently online, especially through websites like Amazon or eBay. 

How Good Are AquaSource Kitchen Faucets?

AquaSource kitchen faucets are a good value purchase option, especially for homeowners that are looking for a traditional look within a specific price range.

Finding authentic reviews for this brand online can be a difficult proposition. Only public reviews on retail websites are currently available for this brand because of its somewhat limited availability. We found an average retail review rating for AquaSource kitchen faucets to be at 3.8.

There are no complaint websites that register a rating for this brand.

Most consumers are satisfied with their kitchen faucet once it is installed. Comments from throughout the internet discuss how the faucets look good, are easy to maintain, and finding replacement parts tends to be easy if a failure happens to occur.

One of the biggest complaints about the AquaSource brand is the length of the supply lines that come with most of the faucet collections. They seem to be a little shorter than usual, so extension fittings may be required for some kitchens. That is why a professional inspection and installation is often recommended for this brand.

There are also noted concerns about the quick-connect fittings not working properly. These concerns, with just one exception, came from self-installation projects.

Although there are some mixed reviews on specific faucet models within this brand, it tends to be a popular pick for homeowners that are looking for a fast solution to improve their kitchen. Durability concerns begin to increase for owners after 5 years of use, but overall, this brand offers an easy opportunity to offer homeowners a lot of bang for their buck, so to speak.

AquaSource kitchen faucets can be self-installed, but professional installations tend to maximize the functionality and features offered by this brand. 

What Types of Faucets Are Available from AquaSource?

The AquaSource brand provides 5 different kitchen faucet designs that can improve the look of any residential kitchen.

• One Handle Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray
• Modern Gooseneck Kitchen Faucets
• Two Handle High Arc Kitchen Faucets
• Wall Mount High Arc Kitchen Faucets
• Wall Mount Low Arc Kitchen Faucets

The highest ratings for the AquaSource brand tend to come from their modern gooseneck faucets. The design is quite unique, with a high arc that offers more space underneath the faucet than the traditional gooseneck design. Multiple finishes are available, including brushed nickel, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze. Each comes with a single handle side control.

What makes the modern gooseneck faucet so popular compared to the other collections is its overall versatility. AquaSource has made this faucet design be compatible with reverse osmosis systems, making it possible for the faucet to work with others to provide drinking water. The added sink space is another advantage, while it also meets low lead standards that are set by the NSF.

This faucet is also manufactured with ceramic disc valves, allowing for a smooth performance and a drip-free experience if properly installed. It is an ADA-compliant faucet as well and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The installation kit for most AquaSource faucets come with a 3/8-inch quick-connect for the initial hook-up. For homes that have a ¼-inch connection, different kits are available from this brand but are usually required to be purchased separately. That can leave homeowners and contractors with an installation kit that they do not need.

Installation guides are available online for most AquaSource kitchen faucets.

Many AquaSource kitchen faucets do not meet low-flow standards that may be required in some communities. These faucets average a 2.2 GPM, whereas low-flow areas may require 1.5-1.8 GPM. 

What Is the Warranty on an AquaSource Kitchen Faucet?

AquaSource kitchen faucets are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and craftsmanship. The limited lifetime warranty that is provided for these faucets is present at the time of shipment from the factory, but will only apply to the person who originally purchases the product.

As part of the limited lifetime warranty, the manufacturer does agree to repair or replace the faucet at their discretion.

To call for warranty service, the number published is 1 (866) 417-7564. This is for products that are sold at Lowe’s or through an official Lowe’s representative. On certain forums, an alternative number is suggested if the primary number doesn’t work: 1 (866) 237-3907. Several different phone numbers have been listed, however, so there may be difficulty in reaching the correct department.

If you have purchased your AquaSource kitchen faucet through Home Depot or their authorized representative, the number to call is 1 (866) 538-5355.

You may also be able to email AquaSource about any questions or concerns you may have about a kitchen faucet that has been purchased or installed at [email protected].

When shopping online for an AquaSource kitchen faucet, it is important to know how the purchasing process works. If you buy direct from the factory wholesale, a different warranty may apply that can be given to potential clients. Homeowners who shop online may be purchasing a new faucet, but from someone who already purchased it from Lowe’s or Home Depot.

In such an instance, the limited lifetime warranty is not likely to be honored.

Social Responsibility and the AquaSource Brand

LF, LLC has helped Lowe’s grow from a single hardware store in North Carolina into a Fortune 50 home improvement organization. There are more than 2,300 stores in North America that feature the AquaSource brand in addition to several online outlets. When all brands with LF, LLC are combined, more than $65 billion in annual sales are generated.

Because of this, social responsibility for this brand involves being highly active within each community. You’ll find AquaSource, along with Lowe’s and other LF, LLC brands, creating community events, finding partnerships, and making local charitable contributions to help those in need.

There is also a focus on stakeholder engagement within this organizational structure. Enhanced efforts at establishing social media pages and customer support centers to work with customers and professional affiliates help to manage complaints, fix problems, and grow the brand through word-of-mouth marketing.

Frequent employee surveys, ethics and conduct policies, and a hotline to report ethics issues are part of the social responsibility experience as well.

What Are the Prices to Expect with the AquaSource Brand?

Most AquaSource kitchen faucets sell at retail for $150 or less. If you purchase the faucet at a Lowe’s location or use their website, there are several faucet options that are available for less than $75.

If you shop online at other retail websites for an AquaSource faucet, pricing tends to be mixed. Look for authorized dealers instead of second-hand suppliers for the best possible outcome to your shopping experience, either from a professional or a DIY standpoint. Pricing begins under $50 and goes up close to $200 for older-model faucets, such as the Glyndon collection, with in-demand finishes.

For those who are looking to own a kitchen faucet that is easy to maintain and repair thanks to fast parts access and good customer service, AquaSource is a top option to consider. It provides value, good aesthetics, and a consistent performance for a majority of owners.

 

For those looking to combine affordability with style, it can be difficult to find a brand with consistent manufacturing practices throughout every series they produce. Entry-level faucets may be affordable, but not durable. Premium faucet designs might be incredible, but not that affordable.

American Standard is one brand where you can find the perfect kitchen faucet to install and be confident in the results. There is no doubt that you’ll be able to find at least one style that will work in any kitchen.

From faucets to showers to toilets, a kitchen or bathroom can look incredible with their fixtures, providing a customized look without the price of customization.

American Standard has offices throughout North America, operating under the business unit LIXIL Water Technology, which purchased the brand in 2013. It became a part of the business unit in 2015.

In total, more than 50 countries, 50 production facilities, and two research and development centers help to support this brand.

For professionals, this is good news because it shows there is a certain quality and durability to the brand. For those attempting their own remodel, however, there is a red flag for this brand that must be acknowledged.

FAQ About the American Standard Kitchen Faucets

Many consumers have questions regarding the quality, durability, and features that are available with the faucets manufactured under the American Standard brand. Here are some of the most common questions to expect and answers that can be provided.

What is PVD Finishing? Physical Vapor Deposition processing is a finish that American Standard uses on their faucets. Many brands use this type of finish. It increases the durability of the faucet by causing the finish to form a permanent bond with the materials of the faucet instead of coating those materials.

What is a Ceramic Disc Valve? Two discs control water movement with the American Standard design. These valves are made with ceramic to keep costs down while still providing the durability that a diamond-coated valve can provide. It also means the components of the faucet are less susceptible to water-based influences, such as corrosion.

How Can I Contact American Standard? Sometimes a consumer may need to contact American Standard with a question or concern regarding their faucet, such as a product warranty. Here is the current toll-free number for kitchen faucet owners to contact: 1 (800) 442-1902.

The warranty excludes damage that may be due to “aggressive” water conditions or air conditions. The use of abrasive cleaners or “harsh” chemicals may void the warranty as well.

What Are the Different Faucet Styles Available?

Although kitchen faucet designs are unique to the brand and manufacturer, there are some elements of common ground that we can look at. Let’s break down the various designs into some easy-to-understand categories and why it could be an attractive option.

#1. Contemporary. This is the most common design type that is available right now. These faucets are sleek and streamlined, looking to create a simple presence in the kitchen. Many of them offer a gooseneck design, pull-down or pull-out spray heads, and eliminate the bulkiness of faucets that come from the generation before. Chrome and stainless steel tend to be the two most popular finishes for this faucet option.

#2. Industrial. Have you ever walked into a professional kitchen? Those U-shaped kitchen faucets with a high-pressure sprayer have transitioned into the modern residential kitchen. You don’t need to be a home chef or foodie to appreciate what this faucet design can do. These faucets are tall and heavy, but they also have a tremendous amount of reach. Chrome, nickel, and stainless steel are common, but oil-rubbed bronze finishes are making their way into this category as of late.

#3. Classic. In many commercial sectors, there has been a push to create more authenticity. Kitchen faucet designers have not been immune to this trend. You’ll find bridge faucets and other hand-forged designs are making a big comeback for new construction and remodeling projects. These faucets need more space than most other designs and require additional maintenance. They are also the best way to create a look that feels fully customized. Look for gold, brass, and chrome finishes to accentuate the classic aesthetic.

#4. Vintage. You’ll find elements of the other 5 faucet styles within this category. Although there may be a lot of variation present, the faucets in this category tend to have similar finishes. Look for oil-rubbed bronze, brass, and copper faucets to accentuate a rustic look.

 

#5. Modern. Think straight lines. Unique shapes. Strange geometry. Right angles. Small handles. Cylindrical shapes. Modern kitchen faucets are catching on, but there are socioeconomic considerations to think about in this category. Many homes are designed with the traditional kitchen in mind. A modern kitchen faucet doesn’t always work in that type of space. Look for nickel and stainless steel finishes to dominate here.

#6. Future. Some may argue that this isn’t an official category as of yet, but there are some cutting-edge innovations that can be found in the newest collections of kitchen faucets. Some models have LED lighting. Others offer a faucet platform that can be extended or retracted on demand. Touchless faucets that automatically set the temperature of the water are becoming quite popular. Low-flow faucets that conserve water could be added to this design category as well.

The Best Examples of Kitchen Faucet Finishes

Once you’ve figured out the style of faucet that will work well for your space, it is time to begin looking at the various finishes. Each finish offers some unique advantages and disadvantages. Here are the best examples of each finish at its highest quality right now.

Antique

Hiendure

This classic antique approach gives a vintage look that is almost beyond compare. Modern features, such as ceramic valves, are included with this design. It works with homes that have a water pressure up to 1.6 Mpa, but its entry-level quality does offer a limited lifespan.

Kingston Brass

This kitchen faucet offers a washerless cartridge and a low-flow feature that maximized output at 1.8 GPM. The finish is surprisingly strong on this affordable faucet and the spout reach is nearly 9 inches. The deck plate isn’t optional on this model, however, so it may not work for every sink.

Guma

This is a basin-style faucet that offers a unique look and a slim profile for small kitchen spaces. It still works with a standard ½-inch plumbing inlet. Like most modern faucets, it uses a ceramic disc cartridge to prevent leaks and dripping. The top placement for the control handle is definitely a nice touch.

Black (Matte)

Moen

It is rare to see a modern/contemporary faucet with a black finish, but this model makes it look good. It features a pull-down design that retracts with great smoothness. High pressures are still experienced, but the splash is kept to a minimum. It’s also one of the easiest kitchen faucets to install.

Brizo

This kitchen faucet might offer a matte black finish, but it is built with a solid brass body. The design is fully modern, with a minimized handle and spout. The gooseneck arch offers plenty of access at the sink. Despite its size, this faucet does weigh more than 7 pounds, so it may not be suitable for every sink.

Ufaucet

This affordable faucet gets all the basics right. It has a lead-free construction, is NSF and UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code®) compliant, and has a spout reach of 8.5 inches. It comes with a deck plate in the box for a 3-hole installation if needed. 360 degrees of rotation is offered, but it is backed by only a 10-year warranty.

Brass and Copper

Kingston Brass

This wall-mount brass faucet is about as close to perfect as one can get for the kitchen. It offers a 12-inch spout reach from the wall, so almost any kitchen can handle this design. Low-flow requirements are still met despite its weight. The finish is beautiful and it is surprisingly easy to install.

Delta

This is another good two-handle kitchen faucet design, but with a sink mount instead. It requires a 4-hole installation since it has a matching side spray. The high arc faucet design features a pull-down spray head and works with standard plumbing installations.

Gourmetier by Kingston Brass

This is one of those kitchen faucets that transcends labels. It has some modern elements to it. There are some classic lines in it. One could argue that it is also a bit contemporary. There are even nature-driven elements in the look. It is also a water filtration faucet, offers 1.5 GPM, and is highly affordable. It may just not be the best choice as a primary faucet.

Chrome

Chrome is the most affordable option that is available today. You can also find it on some of the most expensive kitchen faucets that are currently on the market. What is magical about this finish is its reflective quality. Although it can be difficult to keep clean, it matches well with virtually any personal style.

Kohler

This revival kitchen faucet offers a vintage look, but with some contemporary style. A curved gooseneck design brings in some nature-driven elements, while the two-handle approach and side spray is good for sinks with a 4-point installation. It offers a ceramic valve and improved ergonomics for an excellent user experience.

Techo

This is a modern kitchen faucet that offers a simple installation, a brass and stainless steel construction, plus a high arc pull-out spout. It provides a good range for deep basins but doesn’t create a lot of splash for small basin sinks.

American Standard

This is another fusion between the modern and the contemporary that really works. The handle is somewhat small, but larger than a truly modern design. There is a brass swivel spout, a metal lever handle, and a pause feature has been included with the spray head. Users receive 8 full inches of clearance.

Oil-Rubbed Bronze

Kingston Brass

This single handle water filtration faucet is similar to its brass and copper cousin but is an even better deal. It’s one of the easiest faucets you’ll ever install. Now it isn’t suited for a reverse osmosis system and is intended for cold water use only, but it will still make a magnificent first impression.
