Our verdict

Storage-friendly dimensions turn on what a maker actually publishes. Kohler publishes all four figures for the Simplice 596-VS at 9.61 by 9.02 by 16.61 inches and 6.11 pounds, and for the 597-CP at 12.0 by 28.75 by 3.0 inches and 5.0 pounds, though the 597-CP numbers do not read like a faucet. Moen publishes 10.25 by 7.5 by 14.56 inches with no weight. WEWE publishes 8.5 by 10.0 by 15.7 inches with no weight. Kingston Brass publishes 8.56 by 13.88 by 13.13 inches and 8.1 pounds.

“A published figure you can plan around beats a missing one.”

Lush Editorial Team

What separates these five

Published figures first A faucet with a full set of numbers can be planned around. One with gaps cannot, however good its features read.
Height against the backsplash The published height tells you what sits above the counter. Check it against the clearance you actually have.
Weight as a proxy Where a maker publishes weight, it is the one unambiguous figure on the sheet. Where it does not, say so.
Features that do not depend on size Spray modes, docking systems and valve types are stated plainly and hold regardless of the dimensions.
What the numbers cannot say No published figure describes how a faucet feels in use. Nobody at Lush has handled these.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% Complete dimension setA missing figure cannot be planned around, so completeness carries the most weight
  2. 20% Internal consistencyFigures that contradict the maker's own words are worth less than figures that agree
  3. 20% Published weightWeight is unambiguous and is the only figure here that cannot be read two ways
  4. 20% Features stated plainlySpray modes and docking systems decide daily use as much as size does
  5. 10% Mounting flexibilityOne hole, three hole and wall mount options widen where a faucet can go

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

Kohler publishes a full set for the Simplice 596-VS: 9.61 inches wide, 9.02 inches deep, 16.61 inches tall and 6.11 pounds. Kingston Brass publishes a full set for the Heritage at 8.56 by 13.88 by 13.13 inches and 8.1 pounds. Those two are the only picks with a published weight, which makes them the only two whose figures can be checked against each other without a gap.

Moen publishes 10.25 by 7.5 by 14.56 inches for the Adler and no weight. WEWE publishes 8.5 by 10.0 by 15.7 inches and no weight. Kohler publishes 12.0 by 28.75 by 3.0 inches and 5.0 pounds for the 597-CP, but a 3.0 inch height does not match a faucet the maker calls high arch, so those figures need confirming before you rely on them.

The table cannot tell you how any of these feels to use, how loud the spray is, or how smoothly the handle turns. It also cannot tell you which of the three published figures is the depth and which is the height of the object, because the listing does not say. Treat the figures as spans the maker publishes, not as a map of the faucet.

Where the Published Figures Are Complete

Two makers publish all four numbers

Kohler gives width, depth, height and weight for the Simplice 596-VS, and Kingston Brass gives the same four for the Heritage. That completeness is the whole reason both appear here. A reader planning around a cabinet, a backsplash or a sink deck can check every figure the maker offers instead of working around a blank.

The two differ in what they do. The Kohler has a spout that rotates a full 360 degrees, three spray settings and a magnetic docking system. The Kingston is a bridge faucet with an 8 inch spread four hole mount and no pull down sprayer. Choose on the feature, then confirm the published figures fit.

Where weight is the only unambiguous figure

Weight is the one number on this sheet that cannot be read two ways. The Kohler 596-VS is published at 6.11 pounds and the Kingston at 8.1 pounds, a difference of 1.99 pounds. The Kohler 597-CP is published at 5.0 pounds, the lightest published weight among the five picks.

Moen and WEWE publish no weight at all. That is not a mark against the faucets themselves, only against the paperwork. If weight matters to your installation, the two Kohler models and the Kingston are the only picks with a figure to work from.

Where the Figures Need Checking

The 597-CP numbers do not agree with the words

Kohler describes the 597-CP as a high arch pull down faucet and publishes 12.0 by 28.75 by 3.0 inches. A 3.0 inch height does not fit that description, and 28.75 inches is far larger than any other depth on the sheet. The maker also states a 3 percent flow increase for Boost on this model, against 30 percent on the 596-VS.

None of that makes the faucet unusable. It does mean the published figures should be confirmed with the manufacturer before you order around them. This is exactly the case where a complete set of numbers is worth less than a consistent one.

Moen and WEWE leave weight out

Moen publishes 10.25 by 7.5 by 14.56 inches for the Adler and states Power Clean spray technology at 50 percent more spray power than its faucets without it. The maker also lists a size text of 24.7 by 12.3 by 14.6 inches, which does not match the dimension fields. WEWE publishes 8.5 by 10.0 by 15.7 inches and a size text of 17 inch height, again not matching the field.

Both faucets have real features: Reflex docking on the Moen, a shorter handle and a gravity ball retraction system on the WEWE. Both leave weight unpublished, and both carry a size text that disagrees with the fields. Confirm the figure you need before ordering.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

You want the most complete paperwork. The Kohler Simplice 596-VS publishes all four figures and a weight, with a 360 degree spout and three spray settings. Start here if you would rather not chase a missing number.

You have a low opening above the sink. The Moen Adler publishes 14.56 inches of height, the lowest published height among the five picks, with Reflex sprayhead docking. Check it against your clearance before ordering.

You have a short backsplash. The WEWE publishes 15.7 inches of height and a shorter handle stated for backsplash clearance, plus a deck plate for one or three hole installs. Weight is not published.

You want a bridge faucet with a published weight. The Kingston Heritage publishes 8.1 pounds and an 8 inch spread four hole mount, with solid brass construction and no pull down sprayer.

You want a second Simplice option. The Kohler 597-CP publishes a weight of 5.0 pounds and three spray functions, but its height and depth figures need confirming with the maker first.

What We Could Not Verify

Several figures a buyer would want are simply not on the sheet, and we have not filled them in.

  • No capacity figure is published for any of the five faucets.
  • Moen does not publish a weight for the Adler 87233BL.
  • WEWE does not publish a weight for its pull down faucet.
  • Kohler’s 597-CP height and depth figures do not match its own high arch description.
  • The Moen and WEWE size texts disagree with their dimension fields.
  • No published figure describes spray force, noise or handle feel in use.

Frequently asked questions

Why do published dimensions matter more than features here?+

A faucet has to fit the space above and around the sink. If a maker does not publish a height, you cannot check it against a cabinet or a backsplash before ordering. Features such as spray modes are stated plainly by every maker on this sheet, so the dimensions are what separate them.

Which of the five publishes the most complete figures?+

Kohler publishes width, depth, height and weight for the Simplice 596-VS at 9.61 by 9.02 by 16.61 inches and 6.11 pounds. Kingston Brass publishes all four for the Heritage at 8.56 by 13.88 by 13.13 inches and 8.1 pounds. Moen and WEWE publish three of the four and leave weight out.

What is wrong with the Kohler 597-CP figures?+

The maker publishes 12.0 by 28.75 by 3.0 inches for a faucet described as high arch. A 3.0 inch height does not match that description, and 28.75 inches is far larger than any other depth on the sheet. Treat those figures with caution and confirm them before ordering.

Does a shorter published height mean easier storage?+

It means less of the faucet sits above the counter, which matters under a cabinet or in front of a low backsplash. It does not by itself make a faucet easier to store. Check the published height against your actual clearance, and remember that no figure here describes the space below the counter.

Can I compare spray performance from these figures?+

No. Kohler states a 30 percent flow increase for Boost on one model and 3 percent in the text of another, and Moen states 50 percent more spray power for Power Clean. Those are maker statements about capability, not measurements, and nobody at Lush has run these faucets.

What should I do if a figure I need is missing?+

Ask the manufacturer directly, or choose a model that publishes the figure. Moen and WEWE do not publish weight, and no maker on this sheet publishes a capacity figure. A missing number is not a reason to guess at one.
