This is a replacement faucet of the exact same faucet that came with the house. The house was 4 years old when we bought it and this was the kitchen faucet. It began leaking from the housing so I replaced the cartridge. It continued to leak so I replaced the whole faucet. Moen's website states the faucet is warranted to the original purchaser so that kinda sucked. I like the look so I am willing to give it another shot. My house has all Moen faucets so hopefully they don't all start to leak.
