We got the brushed metal version as part of a sink package, and have been very happy with it. Only complaint is that the handle has a flat end with a decorative inset circle that I worry may get grungy over time. Functionally it’s been great, and I like the look, especially compared to the builder grade crap it replaced. Edit: looking more closely, I think the one we have is very similar, but may not be exactly this model. More on reddit.com

I dont think quality is so much a name as it is a price, all the top brands make some good stuff and some cheap stuff too. More on reddit.com

Master Plumber here: You have only two options: Moen or Delta? Both brands offer lifetime warranties. Both companies will send homeowners replacement parts for free (keep the install manual for model numbers, it will also have an exploded parts view with part numbers). Both companies have excellent customer service. Both brands want you to remain loyal to their brand… I’ve had customer service reps send free new faucets if a problem couldn’t be fixed on new installs. Both brands are easy to get parts for at any home improvement store (if you like need the part ASAP and can’t wait for the company to send it to you). Delta’s are easy to work on. Moen is built a little bit more solid (not by much) and they can be channeling to remove the cartridges out of (but Moen makes a tool for that). Those are the two brands that I can honestly stake my reputation on. If you want to go high dollar, Brizo is Delta’s premium line. $$$ More on reddit.com

Actually I think it's that companies like Moen, Delta, Kohler make faucets to the specifications dictated by Lowe's and Home Depot, which is inferior to the specs for faucets sold through plumbing supply houses. More on reddit.com
