It does not pay to get junk. Some knock off's are designed to use Delta, Pfister, Moen and other's parts...too --47.155.xx.xxx

When I first started, I used the store brand. I'd have stuff failing at random all the time, so I upgraded to the Moen. Not entry-level, but the stuff you get if you spend an extra $40-$50-$60 over the entry level. I still forget, and will pick it up occasionally... but some of my plumbers will still sneer at the cheap innards of a $100-$125 Moen faucet set, and I'll buy an ugly-on-the-outside faucet from them with nice, hefty brass innards. --137.118.xx.xxx

I have found Delta to be the most bullet proof (aka tenant proof) but that may have changed. --72.231.xxx.xx

Shower drips of course are different-- got to repack them but thats usually just a new washer or seat. On toilets-- when ever either a fill valve or flapper is changed the other component is changed. Flapper is 7.00 fill vale is 13.00. --99.103.xxx.xxx

Moen for customer service, availability and durability. Also have had good luck with Delta. I try and buy the same style too. We also purchased a special tool that helps to reach tight spaces, its red and cylinder shaped. Has helped alot. Don't have as much replacement issues anymore. Labor was always the holdup. --172.58.xx.xxx

We saw a recommendation from Brad (on this site) for Pfister faucets, and have been using them successfully since learning about them. --71.246.xxx.xxx

Based on my experience, stay with the name brands, they all are about equal. Also, I don't replace parts anymore...just replace the entire faucet - done! --71.198.xxx.xxx

I was also a Delta brand loyal buyer for a long time after Moen moved away from the area where I programed drilling machines. Brad pointed me to Price Phister which I have never yet opened to fix so can't comment on the parts yet. --76.188.xxx.xxx

He bought a really expensive one for his last house and it looked fabulous and was a piece of junk that was leaking in less than a year. What they cost doesn't seem to indict the quality. --76.178.xxx.xxx

So that's a big NO! for a rental. --76.178.xxx.xxx

Not that has changed to 10 years only. And by then a lot of the parts are no longer made, even if you want to pay for them. --73.40.xx.xx

Big box stores sell a lower grade of plumbing supplies and faucets where a plumbing supply sells better quality although the price is higher. Plumbers can afford call backs where what is cheap is not good option. Replacing shut1/4 off valves with 1/4 turn ball valves will make maintenance a lot easier where will also eliminate leaks as even a minor leak can cause costly damage. --99.236.xxx.xxx

I'm starting to replace with Pfister as units fail. So far, so good. --104.230.xxx.xx

Pfister or Moen but mainly Pfister lately. No more cheap box stuff. Usually replace the entire assembly in the kitchen as the tenant loves this. --199.10.xx.xxx

I buy the second grade of Home Depot faucets. They are metal outside instead of plastic. They tend to last several years and when they go it takes 15 minutes to put in a new one. I do not have to spend hours hunting for parts that cost as much as a cheep faucet and are often not available. --174.250.x.x

With Delta and Moen they they have a lifetime warrantee. We have had free parts sent to us and even have received similar new faucet replacements if our current style is no longer available. --162.253.xx.xxx

We like to put in Moen MDura faucets. They are a commercial faucet bath and kitchen in chrome. They go in easy and they are all brass internals and easy to work on. They are more expensive but they do hold up well. Plus Moen will replace them if they do go bad. They are better for well water too. --73.135.xx.xxx

I have had multiple plumbers tell me to stick with Delta or Moen as they say that they are easier to install and often easier for replacement parts. Great idea from a few of you to just install a new faucet every time that there is a problem. Labor rate for plumbers at $120 - $170/hour here in Wisconsin is much more expensive than the faucet (especially for bathroom faucets). Thanks all! --65.31.xxx.xxx

- Ace hardware in CA is great source, too - I got 9 kitchen faucets in 2019 - originally $130.00 -they had marked at $67 and I offered him $25 each for all and got them for $31.... Never afraid to ask for a deal if I buy all the stock want gone off the clearance table..... --98.42.xx.xxx

I BUY THE BEST TUSCANY --67.142.xxx.xx

Anything but Pfister. Overpriced junk. I’ve had multiple failures lately. Can’t go wrong with Delta. I used to do store brands exclusively. My peeps are hard on them --72.49.xxx.xx

After having a number of bad experiences with Delta, I won't buy them any more. I've utilized Moens for my bathroom vanity and shower assemblies from the plumbing supply houses. I occasionally also use them for kitchens, but prefer Chicago brand undermount faucets. They're super easy to change out seat washers, and have lasted me decades. Also, having a shop that exclusively deals with faucet parts is worth its weight in gold. I had a single handle Moen kitchen faucet that suddenly turned difficult to turn off. I changed the unit out, and turned it in to the faucet guy, who rebuilt it with new internal parts for $20.00. Now that unit is ready to be re-installed elsewhere. Finally, if you know your quality faucets, you can pick up faucets and other plumbing essentials at stores which sell used building materials that were donated from other demolition or remodeling jobs. I just picked up a $175.00 Moen kitchen sprayer assembly for $25.00. --174.208.xxx.xxx

So far so good... --72.228.xx.xxx

Delta is what I changed everything to, a little more expensive up front but super cheap in the long run. I love it that we only have a few parts to carry for repairs. When we go in for a drip, we just go ahead and change both seats and springs out. Does not cost much at all and it only takes just a very few minutes. I use to run all over town for parts for those old faucets, was glad to get rid of every last one of them. Remind me to stay away from you in the future, you are going to want to KISS me and I will not approve of that. --68.39.xxx.xx

For tub valves I like the Moen cartridges .. they have a good service life .. --104.231.xxx.xx

AMERICAN STANDARD durable "COLONY" line of KITCHEN faucets and I also like their "Cadet" series of toilets for ALL rentals. --64.99.xxx.xxx
