I thought  the touch technology would either rock my world or be annoying.  It's a little bit of both.  Kind of like changing operating systems, or having soft close toilet seats then visiting someone who doesn't and letting the lid crash down.  You need to retrain yourself to properly appreciate this faucet.  If you don't adapt easily (my wife wants to throw the batteries out so it works like a traditional faucet) then it may drive you nuts.  Turning on and off seemingly like it is possessed when you are trying to use it.  Myself and the kids adapted and it can be helpful at times.  Definitely easier for a 3 year old to touch the faucet on and off than manipulate the lever and also protects from changing the temperature by mistake.  Turns off automatically  if you forget to do so.  Neat, but not life changing.
