Best bathroom faucets

The Delta Nicoli 35749LF is my pick for a widespread sink. That’s a sink or counter with 3 holes where the two outside holes sit 6 to 16 in. apart, most often 8 in. Delta’s spec sheet lists that whole range, so the Nicoli fits most widespread vanities without a hunt for a size.

It’s a two-handle faucet: a spout in the middle and a lever valve on each side. The spout is solid brass, per Delta. It reaches 5 in. out from its hole, the outlet sits 5 13/16 in. above the deck and the faucet stands 8⅝ in. tall overall. That’s the most room to wash your hands of any pick here.

Each handle turns 90° from off to full on. Inside, Delta says the cartridge is tested to 500,000 uses. Flow is capped at 1.2 gallons per minute at 60 psi, so it carries the EPA WaterSense label.

Fit limits are generous. The spec sheet allows a deck up to 2⅜ in. thick and holes 1¼ to 1½ in. across. It also asks for 2½ in. of room behind the faucet to the backsplash. Measure that before you order, since a tight backsplash is the most common snag with widespread sets.

The hookup is the part to plan for. The valves take ½ in. IPS faucet connectors, a ½-14 NPSM thread. Most shut-off valves under a sink have a 3/8 in. compression outlet, so you need connectors with a 3/8 in. compression nut on one end and a ½ in. female thread on the other. Our supply line size guide shows the ends.

Up top, Delta’s quick-connect hose joins the valves to the spout and clicks when it’s seated, per Delta’s listing. The drain is a plastic push pop-up with an overflow, part RP100766, and it unscrews from above the sink for cleaning.

Delta lists ASME A112.18.1 and A112.18.2, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, WaterSense and ADA. The warranty is lifetime limited for a home, 10 years in multi-family buildings and 5 years in commercial use. Delta says its matte black lasts over 12 hours in a salt fog test, triple the industry standard.

My call: it’s the best widespread pick here, with the tallest spout and the widest fit range. On Oct 21, 2026 it was new, in stock and sold by Amazon.com. The champagne bronze version, 35749LF-CZ, was too.

The Moen Eva 6410 fits the classic vanity sink: 3 holes with the outside two 4 in. apart. That layout is called centerset, and the faucet sits on one base that covers all 3 holes. Moen’s spec sheet lists it as a 4 in. centerset with two lever handles.

It’s short and tidy. Moen’s drawing gives a 3⅞ in. reach, a 4½ in. spout height and about 6 5/16 in. overall. That suits a small vanity, a powder room or a sink under a low mirror or medicine cabinet. On a deep bowl, the water lands closer to the back than on the longer picks.

The deck limit is the number to check. Moen allows a deck from 5/16 to 1 5/16 in. thick. That covers most cultured marble tops and drop-in sinks. A thick stone counter under an undermount sink can run past that, so measure through one of the holes before you buy.

The holes only need to be 1 in. across. The valves take ½ in. IPS connectors, like the Nicoli’s, so plan on two faucet supply lines with a 3/8 in. compression end for the shut-off valves. Each handle turns 90° from off to full on.

The drain is metal, a lift-rod pop-up. That’s the old-style rod behind the spout that you pull up to close the stopper. It’s simple to adjust and parts are easy to find. If yours ever stops sealing, our sink stopper fix walks through it.

Moen’s papers list two cartridges. The current product page names the 1234 cartridge, and the older parts list names the 1224. Check the stamp on the old cartridge before you buy a spare. Flow is 1.2 or 1.5 gpm as marked on the faucet, and Moen lists WaterSense, ASME A112.18.1, NSF 61/9 and 372 and ADA.

The warranty is lifetime limited against leaks, drips and finish defects for the original homeowner, and 5 years in commercial use. Finishes are chrome, brushed nickel (6410BN) and oil-rubbed bronze.

My call: it’s the simplest fit for a standard 4 in. sink if you like two handles. On Oct 21, 2026 the chrome and brushed nickel versions were both new, in stock and sold by Amazon.com.

The Kohler Simplice K-27389-4 is my pick for a single-hole sink. It’s a single-lever faucet on a slim base. It also fits a 3-hole, 4 in. centerset sink, because Kohler puts an escutcheon plate in the box to cover the two outside holes. That makes it the most flexible fit on this page.

Kohler’s drawing gives a 5⅛ in. reach and a spout outlet 4⅝ in. above the deck. One lever handles on, off and temperature, and it runs on a ceramic disc valve. Flow is 1.2 gpm at 60 psi, with WaterSense and California Energy Commission listings.

Hookup is the easiest here. The supply lines come attached and end in 3/8 in. compression nuts, the size on most shut-off valves. Kohler’s drawing shows them 25 in. long. You thread them straight onto the valves, with no extra connectors to buy.

Fit limits: one hole 1¼ in. across and a deck up to 2 in. thick. The base is 2¼ in. across. The lever swings back to turn on, so leave room behind it if your sink sits tight to a backsplash.

The drain is the one place the sources disagree. Kohler’s current spec sheet, dated Oct 9, 2026, lists a clicker drain with a tailpiece and overflow. The Amazon listing describes a metal pop-up drain with a lift rod. Open the box and check which you got before you pull your old drain.

Kohler lists ASME A112.18.1, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, the DOE listing under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, ADA, ICC/ANSI A117.1 and CSA B651. The warranty is the KOHLER Faucet Lifetime Limited Warranty. Finishes are polished chrome, brushed nickel (code BN) and matte black.

One note from the offer check: both listings I picked were sold by Build.com through Amazon, not by Amazon.com. They were new and the genuine Kohler models.

My call: buy it for a single-hole sink, a vessel deck or a 4 in. sink where you want one lever and no extra parts. For the same fit with a hot limit stop, see the Colony Pro next.

The American Standard Colony Pro 7075000 is a single-lever faucet built for a 4 in. centerset sink. It sits on a 6 in. base that covers the 3 holes. American Standard’s spec sheet lists a metal body, a metal lever handle and, on the 7075000 model, a metal pop-up drain.

Its best feature is a safety one. The cartridge has an adjustable hot limit safety stop. That limits how far the lever swings toward hot, which American Standard says reduces the risk of scalding. It’s worth setting in a kids’ bathroom or a home with an older adult.

The cartridge is a 35 mm washerless ceramic disc. American Standard calls the valve memory position: you lift the lever to turn it on and it comes back on at the same temperature you left it, so you don’t have to set the temperature every time.

It’s the low-profile pick. The drawing gives a 4½ in. reach, a spout outlet 3 3/16 in. above the deck and about 5 15/16 in. overall. That fits under a low mirror or cabinet, but it leaves the least room to rinse your hands or fill a cup.

Hookup is simple. Color-coded braided supply hoses come attached, 24 in. long, with 3/8 in. compression connections for standard shut-off valves. It mounts through a 1¼ in. hole on a deck up to 2 3/16 in. thick, which covers thicker counters than the Eva allows.

Flow is 1.2 gpm, and it’s WaterSense certified. American Standard lists ASME A112.18.1, CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 and ANSI A117.1, and the spec sheet says it meets ADA guidelines. Lead content is 0.25% or less by weighted average, per the sheet.

Both a red and blue plug button and a color-matched one come in the box. The listing gives a limited lifetime warranty. Finishes are polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and legacy bronze.

My call: buy it for a 4 in. sink where you want one lever and a hot limit stop. On Oct 21, 2026 it was new, in stock and sold by Amazon.com.

The Delta Bonacci 545T-DST is my pick for hands-free use. Delta’s Touch2O with Touchless Technology gives three ways to run it: put your hand near the faucet, tap anywhere on the spout or handle, or use the lever. Delta’s page describes a 4 in. sensing field around the faucet.

You can switch it to Touch2O only, tap without the sensor, from above the sink. That helps if the sensor fires when you reach past it. Delta’s spec sheet lists an automatic shut-off after 2 minutes, and a TempSense LED that runs from blue to magenta to red as the water warms.

It runs on 6 AA batteries, which come in the box, or 6 C batteries, which don’t. Delta’s page estimates about 1 year on AA or 3 years on C at 20 minutes of use a day. The LED also warns when the batteries run low. An optional AC adapter, EP102157, needs a grounded outlet under the sink.

It fits a single hole or a 3-hole, 4 in. sink, but the plate for 3 holes, RP102057, is sold separately. The hole can be 1⅛ to 1½ in. across, and the deck up to 2¾ in. thick, the most here. Delta recommends at least 2 in. of room to the backsplash.

Delta’s drawing gives a 5⅜ in. reach, a 4 3/16 in. spout outlet and an 8 in. height. Flow is 1.2 gpm at 60 psi, and it’s WaterSense labeled. Inside is a diamond-coated ceramic cartridge, Delta’s DIAMOND Seal design, which Delta says lasts twice as long as the industry standard.

Hookup uses 1/4 in. PEX supply lines that come attached and end in 3/8 in. compression fittings. The drain is a metal push pop-up with no lift rod hole. Lumicoat, the finish on this -PR model, is made to wipe clean without chemicals on the most touched areas, per Delta.

The warranty is lifetime limited on parts and finish for a home. Electronic parts carry 5 years, and Delta gives no warranty on batteries. Delta lists ASME A112.18.1 and A112.18.2, WaterSense, ICC/ANSI A117.1, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 and ADA. The Amazon title calls the finish brushed nickel; Delta calls it Lumicoat Stainless.

My call: buy it for a kids’ bathroom or anyone who washes paint, dirt or makeup off their hands. On Oct 21, 2026 it was new, in stock and sold by Amazon.com.
