Which is better for a small bathroom sink?

The Delta Broadmoor. Its 4-inch centerset fits standard small sinks and the pull-down sprayer helps rinse the basin. The Rubinet needs a wider three-hole spread.

Does the Rubinet include a drain?

No. The 1AHXL is sold less drain, so you need to buy a drain assembly separately. The Delta Broadmoor includes a pop-up drain with the Worry-Free Drain Catch.

Is the Rubinet worth the extra money?

If you want a widespread faucet with ceramic cartridges and a finish that matches your room, yes. If you mainly want a working faucet with a sprayer, the Delta at $124.90 is the better value.

Which uses less water?

The Delta Broadmoor. It is WaterSense labeled at 4.5 L/min at 414 kPa, at least 20% below the industry standard. The Rubinet listing gives no flow rate.

Both are metal faucets with limited warranties, and the Delta adds a lifetime limited warranty. The Rubinet's ceramic disc cartridges are a durability plus, but neither maker publishes a service life.

Can I install either myself?

Both are deck-mounted, three-hole faucets. The Delta is a 4-inch centerset with 1.25 in. maximum deck thickness; the Rubinet is widespread, so check your sink's hole spacing before ordering.
