SINK FIXTURES DRIVING ME NUTS LATELY
Levers win for me, hands down. I tried a sensor faucet once—felt fancy until it stopped working mid-dishwashing and I had to crawl under the sink to fix it. Not worth the hassle or the price tag, honestly.
LEVER FAUCETS ARE THE REAL HERO
I’m with you—levers just work. I’ve installed a few sensor faucets for clients and, honestly, they’re more trouble than they’re worth. The tech sounds cool, but when you’re elbow-deep in bread dough and the thing decides not to cooperate? Nightmare. Give me a solid lever any day.
LEVER FAUCETS ARE THE REAL HERO
- Levers are like the Swiss Army knife of faucets—simple, reliable, and you can use your wrist, elbow, whatever’s not covered in paint or grout.
- Sensors look slick, but I’ve seen more than a few kitchens where folks end up waving around like they’re trying to land a plane. Not ideal when you just want to rinse off a brush.
- Only time I’d pick a sensor is in a public restroom. At home? Give me a lever every time. Less drama, more water.

Totally get where you’re coming from. We just moved into our new place and I thought the sensor faucet in the kitchen would be “fancy”—turns out, it’s mostly just confusing. Half the time I’m standing there with sticky hands, waving around like a magician and nothing happens. Levers just make sense, especially when you’re juggling a million things or your hands are a mess. Maybe I’ll swap ours out sooner than I thought...

I hear you on the “magician” bit—been there, flailing around with a pile of dirty dishes and nothing happening. But I’ve actually come to appreciate the sensor faucet in my own kitchen, weirdly enough. Took a while to get used to the sweet spot (honestly, it’s like finding the secret handshake), but once I did, it cut down on water spots and fingerprints all over the handles. Plus, when I’m elbow-deep in bread dough or paint (don’t ask), it’s nice not having to touch anything.
I do think some brands are way more temperamental than others, though. The first one I tried was so sensitive it’d turn on if the cat walked by. The current one’s more chill. Maybe it’s just a matter of tweaking the settings or swapping for a better model instead of going back to levers? Sometimes these “fancy” upgrades just need a little patience... or maybe I’m just stubborn about giving up on them.
