I didn't ever have a faucet like this but decided to try one. I love the flexible hose I can spray out the sinks with. We love the height because my chef (boyfriend) could fit the big stock pot under it at Thanksgiving. Couldn't do that with old faucet!  Even though it's taller, it doesn't splash the counters like my old one. BF said it was more challenging to install but we did it.
