I can actually turn the faucet one way or another and it glides smoothly and the pull out doesn’t flip out and make water go everywhere like our last faucet did. Moen is a great company all the way around. Love their products and the fact they are easy to work with and good replaceable parts. The only kind of faucet we’ll buy. Our old one came with the house and was only 2 years old when it finally kicked the bucket.
