Moen Arbor Chrome One-Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer Featuring Power Boost and Reflex, 7594C

Having read the excellent review by Adam Wood, I took the plunge and chose the Arbor with Motion Sense. There was another brand with "Touch" controls and one with a nice magnet in the sprayer head but this Moen made the most sense to me. I purchased the Amazon installation plan and scheduled it for the day after the faucet was to be delivered - the day BEFORE the faucet arrived I get a notice from the installation service that they "don't do my area" so I was challenged - call a plumber - do it myself. I made an appointment with the plumber to come on Friday in case my attempt failed on Thursday - I detailed my installation at the end but here's somethings I found about the working unit.*** I think I have a newer model than many reviewed because the new regulator box does not control the water temperature - water remains where it was when you last set it by the handle of the faucet.*** If it acts a little weird like the water is pulsing out. Unplug the data cord and plug it back in FIRMLY and count to 15 and it should work fine.*** If you get in the habit of turning the faucet to the left when you're done using it, you have a less likely chance of triggering the water when reaching for soap or a hot water dispenser, etc.*** Here's a link to the $7 adapter (Moen wants $40) AC to DC 12V 1.5A 12V1.5A Power Supply Adapter Switching for Cameras DVR NVR LED Light Strip DC3.5*1.35mm UL listed FCC. (You can find confirmation that this works by reading the reviews on the Moen adapter here Moen 177565 AC Adapter Service Kit)Removed the old:1. I turned of the water from under the sink only2. Unscrewed the Hot and Cold supply that comes from the old faucet and unscrewed the nut from beneath the faucet and removed everything.Installed the New:1. Moen packaged everything you need except the wrench that gently tightens your hot and cold lines.2. Directions were 98% clear with 2% easily compensated by common sense.3. Put plastic seal/washer under faucet so it is between counter and faucet.4. Drop Faucet and wire (date cord) through the existing hole and secure with provided plate and the horseshoe shaped metal washer and secure with the plastic nut. (there is a long grey plastic tube that is provided as a tool to tighten this nut)5. Put special long hose through the nose of the faucet (small end first) and attach the other end to sprayer head.6 Put special plastic nut with extended "wings" onto end of faucet mounting screw underneath the sink. This you will find out later is what the "regulator box snaps onto".7. So snap on the black box and attach the long hose that holds the sprayer into box (it clicks in securely).8. Attach battery pack (batteries provided) to cabinet wall by adhesive (provided) or screw (provided). NOTE: you can buy an accessory adaptor but it's $40. I'll put a link to one that is $6 and got great reviews for working with the Moen and the end of this list.9. Peel off protective tape covering the two sensors on the faucet.10. Plug in data cord.11.Attach hot and cold hoses (labeled clearly) to water supply.12. Add Weight to sprayer hose (anywhere below the tape on the hose).13. Turn on water (by waving your hand over top.14. Check for leaks15. Call the plumber and cancel your appointment.

We have had this faucet now for 6 years & it still looks & performs like new. Love it!

When our 20 year old Moen kitchen faucet became hard to repair, I didn't hesitate to replace it with this Moen faucet. It installed in about 1/2 hour, [man I'm an old guy and hate laying on my back under a kitchen sink], and works great. It has a great finish and a classy look with great spray head features and function. I didn't spring for a water on sensor function cause that takes batteries and I'm just old school. If I want water, I just pull the handle. The only thing I didn't like and can't change is the way the control handle points straight up for hot water and pulls forward for cold. It's evidently a safety feature to stop kids from burning themselves if they reach up to turn on the water. They're more apt to pull the arm forward for cold. You can buy a more expensive faucet but you can't beat a Moen for warranty and function.

Don't usually write reviews, but reviews helped me select and install this faucet. Extremely grateful to all reviewers. Felt compelled to give back by also writing review. This purchase is a replacement & update from a Delta faucet.DELTA/MOEN: 1st Moen. Always had Delta throughout home. Originally intended to buy Delta until deciding to upgrade to touchless. Chose Moen for the Motion Wave Sensor not requiring touch w/ dirty hand (hand has to touch the Delta's Touch which defeats purpose) and I imagined the Delta's Touch to accidentally turn water on when moving/wiping faucet. Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty a definite plus. Finalized decision when read Plumber's review saying due to difference in design, Delta tends to leak underneath sink (which is why needed new faucet) whereas Moren tends to leak around faucet base/handle which causes less potential damage b/c cabinetry not involved.PRICE/DELIVERY: As usual, can't go wrong w/ Amazon's competitive price, good return policy and fast delivery. Same faucet priced much higher at box store. (Admittedly I have growing concerns re: Amazon's decreasing quality control, i.e., sending used items, allowing knock offs, etc.). For days I searched multiple websites, read tons of reviews, and verified Amazon is an authorized seller before ordering. Faucet was packaged well, next day delivered (Wow!), and all items appeared new.FEATURES: Chose side sensor to avoid turning water on accidentally which I imagined would drive me crazy w/ the 2 sensors model. I was concerned same would happen when drying around base of this faucet, next to sensor, however, hand is actually below sensor, so it doesn't activate, and as long as wrist/forearm is out of sensor range it doesn't turn on. I thought to prevent triggering sensor I would need to remove items on left side of faucet, but it hasn't been a problem. Just maintain the recommended distance (our items are ~4 inches from sensor).INSTALLATION: Many reviews mentioned easy installation. We aren't DIYers, so initially planned for Plumber to do install. After Plumber estimated to charge approximately the same amount as the cost of faucet (What!!!), we decided to do the install ourselves. It was easy but took way longer than others. (3 hrs including prep). Majority of time used removing old faucet. (We took our time to avoid making a mistake so not to need expensive Plumber). *TIPS* Watch several videos on how to install faucet AND how to remove old faucet - Take time to read instructions vs looking at diagram only. Fully read instructions then go back and follow each step - Don't skip steps; may cause miscalibration of data box/sensor - I followed reviewer's suggestion to use pillow, blanket to pad under sink for comfort (also used garden knee pad). Boy, this was helpful! - Wear protective eyewear. Rusty water would've dripped directly into my eye had I not had eye protection - Attach water hoses in loop/spiral pattern (not kinked) for good water flow - Place battery case as close to cabinet door as possible so not have to crawl under sink to replace batteries. Having to crawl under sink to exchange battery was a repeated complaint leading ppl to buy an adapter or to not like faucet. - Another review suggested position battery case upside down. (Case will then open from top vs bottom). Prevents need to squat/kneel to open case.; very helpful - Best to have 2 people, one to stabilize faucet while other tightens nut under sink. If no 2nd person may try taping faucet base to sink/countertop to hold it in place until tightened; place towel around faucet to prevent damage if it falls over - Place towel in sink to prevent things falling into drain/damaging sink - I read, or learned from a video, to make sure nothing is setting or person/pet moving in the activation range (think its 8 inches) of sensor when battery cable is plugged into data box (and for a few seconds after); could cause sensor miscalibration, e.g., cause water to turn on/off by itself, etc..USE/PROS/CONS: 1. Chose oil rubbed bronze although concerned re: reviews stating color not uniformed. Our spout is slightly lighter shade than rest of faucet; perhaps because it's made of a different, less weighted, material (assuming to enable docking) than the rest of (metal) faucet. Don't think I'd noticed difference had I not been looking for it due to reviews. Doesn't bother me, and husband hasn't noticed/mentioned it. 2. Spray control button doesn't feel solid but works well. 3. Pull Down Hose could be little longer but is sufficient and probably better to not be longer to avoid taking up more room/rubbing items under sink. 4. If water is on, Pull Down Hose slowly recedes & needs a nudge to dock. If water is off, hose retracts quickly & fully docks. 5. No problems w/ water pressure/flow/temp. 1-2 drops of water after shut off but doesn't "drip" (Went from 1.8 Delta to 1.5 gpm. Have tankless water heater. Not many reviews mentioned tank type which is something I was interested in knowing pre-purchase). 6. Takes getting use to; Handle has different feel (guess b/c its electronic). A little tricky adjusting flow to trickle. 7. Power Clean Spray, hose flexibility and sensor are great! (Loving it!). 8. *Biggest Con & Reason for Minus Star*- Not able to drip faucet during freezing weather. Bummer! Thought so long as faucet had power, via battery or electric, and handle used instead of sensor (sensor has 2 minutes shut off) could drip faucet overnight. Apparently handle also has a shut off time (> 30 minutes. Don't know exact time Only know after running 30 mins, I left it running, returned to find it stopped & handle still in on position. Maybe it's a battery saving/safety feature? I did sense leaving it running for long period/overnight (may) not be good in regard to battery and/or solenoid overuse/burnout). I'm comforted by no reviews (fromthose who owned it for yrs) mentioned busted pipes, so I'm hoping for the best.ADAPTER: I don't plan to use adapter/splitter 1. Per reviews, it seems to cause sensor/controller to not operate well. 2. Moen recommends it not be used in same outlet that operates an on/off switch, such as garbage disposal, as is case w/ our outlet. Apparently, when disposal is off sensor/controller may not work. 3. Since battery case is next to cabinet door, no need to crawl under sink to replace batteries. 4. We purchase batteries wholesale. 5. Hopefully batteries will last the advertised year, so smaller environmental imprint (though many said they lasted weeks/months not year; We'll see.). 6. Batteries eliminate power outage worry. 7. Less clutter/wires/space taken under sink. 8. Appears faucet may have been designed (more) specific for battery use; many noted it works optimally w/ battery vs electric (performance difference w/ 9V battery vs 12V adapter)FAUCET LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! (Hope it has the lasting quality of our Delta. We'll see.)UPDATE 11/21/2023: Batteries did last a year (plus) and very glad mounted case upside down near door! Had winter storm, but no frozen pipes (open cabinet doors to warm pipes). Have had no problems. STILL LOVING IT!
