Experiencing a little bit of buyer's remorse over not doing better research of functionality for this product. Enamored with the aesthetics of the product and having read a review (perhaps they brought a similar, but different product) I thought the sprayer would have the function to remain on, if wished. As an avid cook and the person doing the most dishes, I had not realized how much I used this function in my previous (non-Kraus) product. My significant other did not want this product, due to the lack of pull down sprayer and we argued that the power of the water would be able to reach the corners, and it does. Having to hold the sprayer on during dishes is a wasted task, and frankly I am so surprised that in a product of this quality, it was not thought out as necessary. I still love the way it looks with my, also new, Kraus white farmers sink, but kicking myself with every load of dishes.
