Best Pull-Down Kitchen Faucets: 6 Moen and Kohler Models Compared

This page contains Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.

A pull-down faucet puts the sprayer in the spout, so you can pull it down into the sink to rinse dishes and then let it dock back in place. The differences between models come down to the spray modes, how securely the head docks, the spout’s height and reach over your sink, and whether you want a touchless sensor. All six below are rated at the same 1.5 gallons per minute maximum flow.

Every specification on this page comes from the manufacturer’s own product page, checked on 26 October 2026. We have not used these products ourselves, so the picks are based on published specifications only.

For more on these features, see pull-down kitchen faucets, pull-down docking systems and touchless kitchen faucets.

How we chose these

• Spray functions and docking system named by the maker.
• Flow rate and certifications published.
• Installation details given, such as single or three-hole mounting.

Moen lists “spout height” and “spout reach” in its spec tables; Kohler gives dimensions on drawings, so we only quote a Kohler dimension where its sheet labels it in text.

Comparison table

All six list 1.5 gpm maximum flow. Kohler’s sheets and Moen’s pages for the Adler and Sto mention lifetime limited warranties; see each maker for terms.

1. Moen Adler One-Handle Pulldown (87233SRS): for a simple, compact pull-down

The Adler is Moen’s straightforward pull-down: an aerated stream plus Moen’s Power Clean rinse, which Moen says gives 50% more spray power than its pull-downs without Power Clean. Moen’s Reflex system handles hose movement and docking. A deckplate is included.

• 3/8 in compression connection; handle mounted on the right; spot resist stainless finish (Moen).

Pros: simple controls; compact reach for smaller sinks; deckplate included.
Cons: fewest spray options of the Moen models here.

2. Kohler Tempered Pull-Down (K-24661): for a single-hole sink

Kohler’s Tempered has the same three-function head as the Simplice: stream, Sweep spray (a wide blade of water) and Boost, which Kohler says raises flow by 30% at the press of a button. DockNetik docking locks the sprayhead in place. It is a single-hole faucet; a three-hole escutcheon is sold separately.

• Ceramic disc valve; temperature memory; MasterClean sprayface that resists mineral buildup (Kohler).
• Certified to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372.

Pros: Boost and Sweep spray; locking dock; temperature memory.
Cons: three-hole plate is an extra purchase.

3. Kohler Simplice Pull-Down (K-596): for three-hole or single-hole installs

Simplice installs in single-hole or three-hole sinks with the included escutcheon plate. Kohler’s ProMotion braided hose and swiveling ball joint make the sprayhead easier to pull and steer, and the high-arch spout gives room for filling pots.

• Premium metal construction; ADA and CEC listed; Kohler Faucet Lifetime Limited Warranty (Kohler).

Pros: escutcheon included; Boost; locking dock.
Cons: dimensions only on Kohler’s drawing.

4. Kohler Crue Pull-Down (K-22972): for a ring spray and long reach

Crue swaps Sweep spray for a ring spray and keeps Boost; Kohler suggests Boost with the stream for faster filling and with the ring spray for stronger cleaning. Its spout reach is 8-9/16 inches, and it mounts in single-hole or three-hole sinks with the included plate.

• Ceramic disc valve; temperature memory; DockNetik docking (Kohler).

Pros: spout reach stated in text; Boost; escutcheon included.
Cons: ring spray instead of the wider Sweep spray.

5. Moen Sto One-Handle Pulldown (S72308SRS): for the most spray modes and a tall spout

The Sto has a slim spout with the pulldown wand blended into it, and four spray functions including boosted stream and boosted rinse. Moen lists a 17.25-inch spout height and 9-inch reach, the tallest and longest Moen here, so it suits deep or wide sinks.

• Reflex docking; Power Clean spray (Moen).

Pros: four spray functions; long reach; tall clearance.
Cons: a tall spout may not fit under low cabinets or windows.

6. Moen Arbor MotionSense Dual Sensor Pulldown (7594ESRS): for touchless use

The Arbor adds Moen’s MotionSense dual sensors, so you can start and stop water hands-free, plus a pause function in the sprayhead. It has three spray functions, Reflex docking, a 68-inch hose and an included deckplate.

• Spot resist stainless finish (Moen).

Pros: only touchless faucet here; pause button; deckplate included.
Cons: check Moen’s page for the sensor’s power supply before installing.
