Kitchen faucets are an oft-overlooked way to add style and character to your kitchen, but they also have an important job to do. The best kitchen faucet will enable you to wash the dishes in piping hot water, and deliver fresh cold water for drinking or cooking, all while being durable and easy to clean.
Our favorite kitchen faucet, the Leland Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer, has (as the name suggests) a pull down sprayer to allow you to reach tricky spots or move around a particularly full sink. For the rest of our top picks of kitchen faucets, just keep reading.
Leland Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer

Pros:
- Classic look
- Adjustable temperature
- Pull-down sprayer
Cons:
- An expensive option
Having a faucet that looks good and works well will make the cook in your house happier than they might have been otherwise. The Leland Kitchen Faucet has a gorgeous design that reduces leaks to improve the life of your faucet. It also features a pull-down sprayer to make getting dishes clean easier than it has ever been before. This faucet is covered by a lifetime warranty, so although it's on the expensive side, you're really getting your money's worth.
Pros:
- Simple look
- Affordable
- Three spray settings
Cons:
- The look isn't for everyone
This faucet from WEWE features a simple and clean design that can look right at home in any kitchen.

This includes a stream, spray, and pause mode, and you can also pull down the sprayer to get a direct shot and prevent spilling. The WEWE Single Handle Faucet also has a 360 degree swivel spout and rust-resistant finish.
OWOFan Commercial Kitchen Faucet
Looks great, with commercial grade capabilities
For an industrial look at your home, or professional use.
Pros:
- Industrial look
- Clean black finish
- Industrial capabilities
Cons:
- Exposed design won't suit all kitchens
If you're a professional chef or you have a large household, you may need a faucet capable of handling more than the usual options. This faucet from OWOFan is commercial grade, features a fully movable sprayer, and is larger than many other options that will fit in your home.
This faucet has an industrial-looking finish and a high-arch spout design and pull out sprayer. It has adjustable pressure to help you shift tough stains, and an aerated stream for gentle use.
Agegate Touch Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer
A classic look with smart functions
A hygienic touch-activated faucet.
Pros:
- 360-degree rotating sprayer
- Touch-activated faucet
- Super hygienic
Cons:
- Not the cheapest
The Agegate Touch Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer has a smart touch function, meaning you can simply touch it with your hand, wrist, or even elbow to get it working. That makes hand-washing cleaner and more hygienic, which is always a welcome feature.
This faucet also has a shower and bubble spray mode and a pull down sprayer, and while it's not the cheapest faucet you can buy, it's pretty great value for money when you consider the modern features.
EZ-Flo Two Handle Kitchen Faucet
Cheap and traditional
A two-handle faucet with an optional additional sprayer.
Pros:
- Budget-friendly
- Optional sprayer
- Two handles for a traditional look
Cons:
- Four-hole installation can take longer
The EZ-Flo Two Handle Kitchen Faucet is the most traditional option we're suggesting today. It includes two handles, as well as a sprayer that is separate from the faucet itself. The faucet can move 180 degrees when needed, and the sprayer features a 38-inch cord.
This is an inexpensive faucet with an easy-clean finish and four-hole installation, so it won't be suitable for every kitchen, but if it works with yours it's a fantastic person.
