Anyone experiencing less pressure from this faucet than your previous one? A friend has the chrome version and it has less pressure.

No difference noted; pressure fine for use - too much would cause splashing.

Yes, less pressure. I always assumed is was a "water saving" feature. Government mandated?

There is markedly less water. 0.5 gpm from Moen for Green Effect. Need to find part to put it back to 2.2 gpm.

I have the stainless steel one, and yes, the pressure seem diminished slightly. Not sure if it's a 'green' low flow feature.

I might have noticed that it might take awhile to fill a pot up. I don't notice it washing or working around the sink.

I don't think water pressure has much to do with this unit, I am very happy with mine, it is more with pressure in the house, and I know water pressure is an issue in my house.

I haven't had any problems with it. I will tell you that I really liked this faucet and was glad I got it.

Hi Anne...I've tried 3 different shower heads...I ended up with Moen shower head...so yes, but beware the pressure will be decreased

Exactly what you said - pressure changes with change in the faucet. But also the on/off can be stopped before full on/off. It turns 90 degrees - you can stop it anywhere in between that. I've really enjoyed ours. About 6 months of good use. It is very easy to install as well.

I have not noticed any difference. I like this faucet a lot. The handles feel substantial, the water pressure excellent, and looks beautiful.

I had the same issue bought the house with the faucet. I went by looks and it worked great for me. I only think the made one variations of the sprayer. Did not take long to install. Like a new faucet. Good luck,James

Hi GordonYou have to hold the trigger down for spray mode. I have tried several different amounts of water pressure and have been unsuccessful with all of them to get the on/off ease, so have ascertained that it does not exist in this faucet. That being said, placement of the trigger makes it fairly easy to hold and spray and I am quite happy with the faucet. Hope this helps.

Ours did not experience any change in pressure so far. Maybe some gunk inside the fixture?

this faucet is in my kitchen, did not remove the flow restrictor and the water pressure is great...never had any problems with this faucet at all.

Sorry, we have only had our machine for 3 months and have not noticed any changes in pressure. I do clean the screens weekly with a wet wash cloth.

On this particular brand and style, I have seen no differences between the lower and higher priced faucets. I love this one!! I have seen some others where the drain cover is of a lower quality, and they do look terrible with use in our area due to the hard water. Also, the color indicator for the water temp can wear off with a lower quality faucet, but I have seen it occur in a higher quality faucet as well. All in all, I don't see much difference be in my opinion. Buy this faucet, you will love it!!!

Mr. Fox's answer regarding the back flow prevention is correct. This faucet requires constant pressure on the supply line at all times. As installations do vary, you may want to check with a qualified plumber for your particular installation or planned installation.

when we first got our faucet and installed it, it leaked in the same place. i ued a small needle nose pliers and a better "O" ring. Hence , no more problems.Hope this helps. Ray

I wish I knew, it is aggravating. The minute I start to use the faucet, it starts running. If you find a cure please post it.. Thanks

I am not a plumber, but my faucet does not want to stay put either. Kid of think it has something to do with the weight that makes the nozzle retract. Have actually got use to it. Otherwise it is a beauty.

No problem with water pressure. We have two. One in our bar sink. Both work great
