The truth is that when one should choose a good-quality kitchen faucet, there is never a guarantee that the choice will be appropriate. For example, a good friend of yours recommended a kitchen faucet of a particular brand. But when purchasing the very same brand and the very same model of kitchen faucet, things may look different. You might find out that the kitchen faucet is faulty for example or there might be something wrong with it - something that is not covered by the manufacturer or distributor. It definitely sounds frustrating, doesn't it?
But that was just an example to demonstrate that there is never a 100% guarantee that a product, no matter if a kitchen faucet or something else, will be of the quality you expected it to be. By the way, recommendations from closest friends are one of the best ways to make the right choice, which means the risk of choosing a bad-quality kitchen faucet is least.

Unfortunately, there are usually not friends that are familiarized enough with the kitchen faucets. In other words, they could not give reliable advice! Then it all comes down to you and your knowledge. In case you lack any knowledge about the kitchen faucets, you need to know that there is not a great number of stuff to keep in mind. Actually, there is just a few important characteristics that need to be drawn some attention.
The first, and probably the most important one, is the material that a kitchen faucet is made out of. Believe it or not, there are more than 100 materials that are currently used for producing kitchen faucets - stainless steel, copper, iron, silver, gold and even platinum are amongst the metals most of the people probably have heard of. Anyway, there are at least 90 more alloys which are used for producing high-quality kitchen faucets.

Another thing to be kept in mind is the size of the kitchen faucet. And the height is detail that needs to be paid special attention. When kitchen faucets are being discussed, it needs to be noted that it is necessary that there be at least 30 cm between the spout and the sink. After all, a kitchen faucet is usually needed for washing dishes, bows and tableware in general. So it would be rather uncomfortable if you had a kitchen faucet with the size of a bathroom faucet for example.
