Moen Essie Spot Resist Stainless Pulldown Kitchen Faucet - Powerful

Our review of the Moen Essie 87014SRS finds it best suited to homeowners who want a modern pulldown faucet that prioritizes cleaning power and easy daily use. The single biggest reason to consider this faucet is its Power Clean spray technology, which delivers noticeably stronger spray performance for rinsing pots and stuck-on food. Installation is straightforward for a DIYer, and the Spot Resist Stainless finish keeps the faucet looking clean with minimal wiping, making it a practical upgrade for busy kitchens.

Key Features

• Power Clean spray: Provides 50% more spray power for faster, more effective rinsing of dishes and sticky residues.
• Reflex retractable system: Ensures the pull-down spray head moves smoothly, returns securely to its dock and reduces tension on the hose during use.
• Flexible sink compatibility: Designed to work with 1, 2, 3, or 4-hole sink configurations and includes a deck plate for easy adaption to your sink.
• Built-in dispenser: The included modern pump soap dispenser can be used for soap or lotion for convenient countertop access.
• Spot Resist finish: Stainless finish resists fingerprints and water spots so the faucet stays cleaner between wipes.
• Easy installation: Duralock quick connect system reduces installation time and simplifies attaching the faucet to supply lines.

Who It's For

This faucet is a good fit for homeowners renovating a kitchen who want a high-arc pulldown with stronger spray performance for frequent cooking and heavy-duty rinsing. It also suits DIY installers who value the Duralock quick connect and the included deck plate for different sink hole arrangements.

Those who need a hands-free sensor as their primary activation method or who want a traditional separate sprayer may prefer alternative models; customers seeking additional high-end finishes or integrated water filtration should also consider other options.
