When deciding to replace your kitchen faucet, you may be tempted to base your purchase on the style and designs.
While design is important, it is used so much that you must take its function into consideration, too.
For this reason, a faucet with one handle can be ideal for you.
The primary benefit to a single handle kitchen faucet is ease of operation.
The single handle is operated with a lever than is easily pushed up to turn the faucet on and down to turn it off.
The water temperature is adjusted by moving the lever to the left to make it hotter, or to the right to make it colder.
A single handle faucets are exceptionally easy for older people who may have trouble turning knobs, and for children.
It can also save time.
With a double handle, if you have something on your hands that you need to wash off, like raw meat juices, you have two options.
You can wait for someone to turn the faucet on for you.
Or you can turn it on yourself, which will contaminate the handle and require taking time to clean it later.
With just one handle you can turn the faucet on with your arm or elbow.
A single handle faucet can be a beautiful and functional addition to your kitchen.
Whether you're remodeling your entire kitchen, or only replacing the faucet, don't rule this versatility out having a faucet with one handle when making your decision.
Choose the design that best fits your needs.
