About an $1,800 kitchen faucet that doesnt interface with Alexa properly.

Im liable to take the faucet and beat him with it til his legs dont work any more. The disconnect here may as well be the Grand Canyon and im Evel Knievel.

      Shit, im currently in the process of a top out/trim out on a plumbing remodel, i just installed a $2,400 Waterstone branded faucet.

      And they go even further from there. There are niche plumbing fixtures that run upwards of 5,000 apiece. Waterstone, Brizo, Phylrich, Hans Grohe, etc.

      Its absurd.

      • these people are morons. I’m not particularly jazzed about the $100 Moen faucet and sprayer combo update I’ll do for my sister this weekend, as I’d prefer to rig up one of those $300 commercial kitchen deck mounted, overhead sprayer deals.

        I could imagine going up to $500 on parts for something truly perfect, durable, and awesome for myself and kind of intend on it when I get to set up my.own place eventually. something that takes me back to those halcyon days of youthful summers spent washing dishes professionally.

        but $2400 is deranged. and wtf does it need to connect to a networked device for? I hate rich people.

          just throwing this out there, steer clear of anything from HD/Lowes etc if possible. It may be Moen branded but it is the equivalent of a black Friday good. The exact same faucet from a plumbing supply house will have a different SKU, because it is a distinctly different item; more plastic, more non serviceable stuff.

          At any rate tell your sister to keep her reciept. Cartridges/seats/springs etc are free if you call the mfgr (assuming you are stuck here in the US that is)

        That is a $2,400 dollar faucet. Brushed brass, not gold. Replacement parts not available readily, must be ordered. So, i cant even fix the fucker if you call me because its leaking. Meanwhile my 125 dollar Moen kitchen faucet i can find parts for it six ways to Sunday.
