Is the coil stiffness in balance with weight of sprayhead so it doesn't flop around. How does coil stiffness compare to Dornbracht,HansGrohe,orBlanco

The weight of the coil is exactly right. I can't compare it to the others you mentioned but I will say this is the most perfect piece in my kitchen. We changed out everything including the kitchen sink and nothing delights me more than this faucet. Beauty means nothing if it's not properly engineered and this is art and function perfectly coexisting.

The spray head does not flop around. I've had three taps on this sink and by far this is the best quality, best functioning and best looking. You do need a lot of "head room" for this tap. It would look overpowering in a low ceiling area as it is quite high. Hope this helps.

Janice, the coil stiffness (the swan neck part) is VERY stiff, it does not flop around at all. However, I find the reach to be fine within the double sink area but not so much flexibility if you want to fill a pot on the counter top next to the sink. It is very architectural and makes a statement.

I have tried a few other faucets with similar design (not sure which brands I was trying at the plumbing store) and the Grohe was stiffer and sturdier. I would recommend going to a plumbing store to test, eg, Benders have multiple models on display.

Yes it is; however, it really doesn't matter. The spray head locks into the horizontal arm when it is not hand held. It almost does it automatically. Anyway, under full force, when not locked, the spray head does not move (fly) around.

Head will hang freely outside of bracket without fishtailing around. This is likely a combination of the spring tension and flow restrictor. No experience with other items mentioned.

The sprayhead does not flop around. I can't compare the coil stiffness to any of those other brands since I only own Grohe

i can not answer your question, because i do not know faucets of the manufacturers that you mention only i can say that i'm happy with my grohe semipro kitchen faucet

No problem with the pull-down for the sprayhead. Real problem was the failure in the spray head itself, which Kohler replaced for me. The valve buttons (both) failed to work, thus limiting the flow volume and also preventing easy shut off of the flow using the upper button. I wil be installing the new sprayhead and we'll see what happens. Kohler's response to the problem was very good, with the replacement, no questions asked and shipped right away.

Never had mine do that. I adjust the legs if it is crooked. Then play with those thinwires around the neck to adjust the width of the spray circle. there are two thinwires around the neck. Perhaps yours are together somehow. If that is thecase the adjust the wires by pulling them around. One should allow the sprayer to go left and the other to right.

Not "instant" but pretty fast. Don't let hat be a deterent. Honestly, new becomes the new old very quick. I rarely ever flip it. Pretty much stays in one position. It's a nice handle sprayer though. Also, the hose didn't come with mine. I opted for the Kohler brand hose... Pricy, but really good quality I feel.

I have found this to be an OUTSTANDING faucet and have had no issues with it at all. What I say next is NOT a negative comment, but it took some getting used to the heavy, metal sprayer. The sprayers on all of my prior faucets were made of lightweight plastic, so for the first few weeks when I would grab the sprayer the weight of it always surprised me for a moment. But I love the heavy sprayer with this Premier faucet. Anyone who uses it comments on the substantial sprayer.

I would say it is smooth and requires some torque to move it. A bit stiffer than I thought it would be but not to the point being unhappy. After some use I didn't and do not really notice it. Definitely stiffer than my 18-200.

I have had no problems with this, and yes the spray is strong and wide. If you are tall, you do not have to dunk down to get your head in the shower stream.. Easily installed. I may have to do a blog post on this one as I really like the full stream of water. If you are using a regular shower head, once you use this one. You will never go back. And the price is the best I could find. Regards Richard Faller.

It is as fine as some perfume bottles I own. I would say it is the same as my Juicy Couture when you press it with proper pressure. It is not the same as a quality old fashioned atomizer which sprays very fine mists.

Spray nozzle, no, its only gravity so you don't get a lot of pressure but its good enough to get the water out flowing from a rigid hose.

Average to light weight, not very ergonomic though (something wrong with the nozzle size and proportion)! I am comparing it to my previous parlux which I bought in France and which was of a better quality. Still, compared to other brands it is one of the best.

Mine seems to prefer remaining coiled, but it doesn't bother anything. In fact, I like the coiled condition because I can hang it over my handlebars when it's not in use.

The brush will bend 90-degrees when you partially unscrew the coil from the handle. The handle provides the stiffness so the further you extend the coil, the less control you will have on the brush. The bristles are fairly soft so if you only need to reach around a corner to get some dust, it may be satisfactory.

The fact that you pull straight down, & not out & down, makes it a bit easier. But I would say the that the tension is about the same as any faucet that I have used. I have been extremely happy with this faucet.

You would need to shave the contact screw in order to get the right hit from the spring with these machines. As a straighter liner it heats the coils quick and adjustment can easily mess up any alignment you have achieved with it. They are all 10 wrap coil machines so really they are all liners, but if you adjust the power supply and contact screw you can run it as a shader. The blue dragon one is my fav to work with and my boss uses the silver one with different coils.

It's not a really stiff hairspray but it holds well without the stiffness. It's the only hairspray I use because when you comb it out it doesn't cause breakage. I highly recommend it.

The regular spray is brushable, and not stiff...but holds well....the shaper plus makes your hair very stiff...and not brushable.

Sadly, it does not tip or adjust. We lift our spray head slightly to get some angle on it. Not as good as the original style.
