How the Five Compare on the Numbers
The five picks split into two groups. Three are full faucets with a pull down sprayer: the Kohler Simplice, the Delta Trinsic, and the WEWE. Two are not full faucets at all. The KIBI is a solid brass faucet, and the Moen Classic Stainless is a 0.1 pound replacement spray head for compatible Arbor models. That split matters more than any single figure, because a reader shopping for a spray head and a reader shopping for a faucet need different pages.
Among the full faucets, the published figures separate them. The Kohler weighs 6.11 pounds and the Delta weighs 5.73 pounds, a difference of 0.38 pounds. The WEWE does not publish a weight. On width, the Delta publishes 2.5 inches, the KIBI 4.5 inches, the WEWE 8.5 inches, and the Kohler 9.61 inches. The Moen spray head publishes 3.75 inches wide and 0.1 pound. None of these figures says which measurement is the depth or the height of the object.
The table does not tell you how any of these faucets feels to use, how long a finish lasts, or how a spray pattern lands in a real sink. Nobody at Lush has installed or handled these faucets. The table also cannot tell you whether a faucet will fit your cabinet, because the listings publish a length, a width, and a height without stating which of them is the depth or the height of the object.
Spray Modes and What Each Maker States
The Kohler three spray design
The Kohler Simplice publishes three ways to wash: a steady stream, a wide Sweep spray for sweeping debris across the sink, and Boost technology that the maker states lifts the flow rate by 30 percent at the touch of a button. That is the only published flow related figure among the five picks. The maker does not publish a base flow rate in gallons per minute for this model.
The spray head docks with DockNetik, a magnetic system the maker states secures the pull down spray head to the spout so it returns home and stays put. The MasterClean sprayface is published as resisting mineral buildup. The Kohler weighs 6.11 pounds, the heaviest of the five picks, and publishes a 16.61 inch height and a 9.61 inch width.
The WEWE and Moen two mode designs
The WEWE publishes a dual mode setting: a soft aerated stream and a splash free powerful spray, with hard rubber sprayer holes. The maker states the 360 degree sprayer switch can be placed in every position. The Moen replacement spray head publishes wide and stream spray options, and the Danco listing on the same sheet also publishes wide and stream, though the Danco is not one of the five picks here.
The Moen spray head is a different kind of product. It is a 0.1 pound replacement part for compatible Moen Arbor pull down faucets, built from plastic with a Classic Stainless finish. The maker states it is not metal and that you should verify spray head shape and connection style match your existing faucet before purchase. It restores a worn spray head without replacing the whole faucet.
Materials, Cartridges, and Installation
Brass, stainless, and plastic
The KIBI publishes solid brass construction, which the maker states provides resistance against rust, corrosion, and tarnish. It also publishes a Sedal ceramic cartridge for flow and temperature control, a PEX pull down hose, and a 360 degree swivel spout. The WEWE publishes SUS304 stainless steel with food grade PEX inner hoses and states there is no worry of lead. The Kohler and Delta listings do not publish a body material.
The Delta publishes DIAMOND Seal Technology, which the maker states reduces leak points and lasts twice as long as the industry standard. It also publishes Brilliance finishes tested for corrosion resistance to at least 2 times industry standards, and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification. The Kohler publishes ceramic disc valves that the maker states exceed industry longevity standards. These are maker statements, not results anyone at Lush measured.
Holes, hoses, and deck plates
The Delta Trinsic fits 1 or 3 hole 8 inch center installations, and the maker states the optional deck plate RP64070 is sold separately for 3 hole setups. The WEWE includes a 10 inch deck plate and works as a one hole or three hole faucet. The KIBI publishes 24 inch pre assembled EPDM supply lines with 3/8 inch compression fittings, pre installed for setup. The Kohler and Moen listings do not publish hole counts.
The WEWE publishes that the pull down hose and water line are preinstalled, and the maker states DIY installation takes less than 15 minutes with no plumber required. The KIBI publishes pre assembled supply lines. The Delta publishes a gasket seal that the maker states helps prevent drips and splashes from leaking under the sink. The Kohler publishes ProMotion technology, a light braided hose paired with a swiveling ball joint.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
Buyer who wants the most published spray settings. The Kohler Simplice publishes three: stream, Sweep spray, and Boost, which lifts the flow rate by 30 percent. It also publishes magnetic docking and a 360 degree rotating spout. Check the 16.61 inch published height against your cabinet first.
Buyer with a one or three hole sink. The Delta Trinsic fits 1 or 3 hole 8 inch center installations, and the maker states the deck plate for 3 hole setups is sold separately. It publishes magnetic docking and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification, and weighs 5.73 pounds.
Buyer with low cabinet clearance. The WEWE is published at 17 inches tall, and the maker states the compact height fits under most cabinets. It includes a 10 inch deck plate and publishes a dual mode aerated stream and splash free spray. The maker does not publish a weight.
Buyer who wants a solid brass body. The KIBI publishes solid brass construction, a Sedal ceramic cartridge, a PEX pull down hose, and a 360 degree swivel spout. It is published at 13.44 inches tall and weighs 6.0 pounds. The maker does not publish a spray setting count.
Buyer replacing only a spray head. The Moen Classic Stainless spray head fits compatible Moen Arbor pull down faucets. It weighs 0.1 pound and is built from plastic, not metal. The maker states you should verify spray head shape and connection style before purchase. It is not a full faucet.
What We Could Not Verify
Several figures a reader would want are simply not on the sheet. These are the gaps.
- The manufacturer does not publish a flow rate in gallons per minute for the Kohler Simplice, the Delta Trinsic, the WEWE, or the KIBI.
- The manufacturer does not publish a weight for the WEWE faucet.
- The manufacturer does not publish any dimensions for the Danco spray head, which is why it is not one of the five picks.
- The manufacturer does not publish a spray setting count for the KIBI or the Delta Trinsic.
- The manufacturer does not publish a body material for the Kohler Simplice or the Delta Trinsic.
- The manufacturer does not publish a warranty length for the Moen replacement spray head.
