American Standard Fairbury Single-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in Oil Rubbed Bronze vs Moen Arbor Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet

Both are single-handle pull-down faucets in oil rubbed bronze, and both are solid mid-range picks. The Moen Arbor wins on water use and hose reach: 1.5 gpm versus 1.8 gpm, and a 68-inch hose versus 38-inch supply lines. The American Standard Fairbury wins on height and reach at the sink: a taller spout and longer spout reach make filling pots easier. Owners of both brands report reliable valve cartridges, and Moen's lifetime limited warranty against leaks and finish defects is a widely known advantage. Pick the Moen for efficiency and a longer pull-out hose; pick the American Standard for a taller, longer-reach spout.

• Choose the American Standard Fairbury if you want a taller high-arc spout with more reach for filling big pots, and you don't mind the higher flow rate.
• Choose the Moen Arbor if you want lower water use, a longer pull-out hose and Moen's well-known lifetime limited warranty.
