Best Moen kitchen faucet for your sink

The Moen Arbor 7594C is the one we’d put in most kitchens. Moen’s spec sheet for the 7594 series lists a 68 in. braided hose on its Reflex pulldown system and a flow limit of 1.5 gallons per minute at 60 psi. The 8/18 versions list a spout that turns 360°, and the C at the end means chrome.

Power Boost is the reason it’s our top pick. The Amazon listing says a push of the button gives a faster clean and a faster fill. That’s handy when you fill a stockpot or blast a sheet pan. The wand still runs stream or spray, pulled out or docked, per the spec sheet.

Moen’s newest drawing, dated 06/26, puts the faucet at 15⅞ in. tall with a 6⅝ in. reach and 8¾ in. under the spout, the height a pot has to fit under. The 8/18 versions on the same sheet are 15½ in. tall with a 7⅞ in. reach and 8¼ in. under the spout.

The Amazon listing doesn’t say which version ships. Either way it’s a middle-of-the-road shape that suits most single and double bowl sinks. Plan for the taller 15⅞ in. if a sill sits close above the sink.

It fits most sinks without extra parts. Moen designs it for 1 or 3 holes at least 1½ in. across, on a deck up to 2½ in. thick. The listing says the optional deck plate is in the box, and Moen’s drawing sizes it at 10¼ by 2½ in. Flexible supply lines end in 3/8 in. compression fittings.

The 06/26 version lists Moen’s 1269 ceramic disc cartridge. The 8/18 versions list the 1255 Duralast, and Moen’s parts sheet gives service kit 1255. The cartridge number is printed on the cartridge itself.

The lever swings through 100° from cold to hot, needs under 5 lb of force and carries the ADA mark. Moen lists two check valves to prevent backflow, plus NSF 61/9 and 372 certification.

Moen’s sheet warns that there’s more than one version of this model. The two newer ones have Duralock quick connect and Power Boost. The oldest had a plain quick connect and Power Clean spray. If you’re replacing parts on an older Arbor, check which version you have, since the parts differ.

My call: start with the Arbor unless your sink has a reason to pick another line. Its spec score sits below the Cia, Brantford, Align and Adler because we score the version you might get: the newest one, with a 6⅝ in. reach and a 1269 cartridge. It was new and in stock when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.

The Arbor MotionSense Wave is the Moen touchless kitchen faucet we’d pick. It’s the Arbor body with a wave sensor added. Moen’s spec sheet for the 7594EW series says you can run it two ways: wave a hand past the sensor, or use the lever like any other faucet. SRS is Moen’s Spot Resist stainless finish.

Power comes from 6 AA batteries or an optional AC adapter with a power splitter, part 169031, which Moen sells separately. You don’t need an outlet under the sink.

The Amazon listing says the six batteries come in the box, but Moen’s parts sheet says they aren’t included, so check the box before install day. Moen’s drawing shows a 36 in. battery holder cable.

The control box has four status lights, per the sheet: AC in use, batteries in use, replace batteries and connection problem. That last one helps when the sensor stops answering. Check the lights before you assume the faucet has failed, and keep spare AA cells in the kitchen drawer.

The shape matches the 8/18 Arbor: 15½ in. tall, a 7⅞ in. reach and 8¼ in. from the deck to the spray outlet. It fits 1 or 3 holes at least 1½ in. across, on a deck up to 2½ in. thick, and the listing says the deck plate is in the box. The handle mounts on the right.

The spray is Moen’s Power Clean rather than Power Boost, so there’s no boost button. The hose is the same 68 in. braided Reflex hose. Moen’s spec sheet lists the 1255 Duralast, but its parts sheet says the cartridge and nut aren’t service items, so a drip is a warranty question for Moen.

Warranty is the one place to read closely. The Wave sheet lists Moen’s lifetime limited warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects. Moen’s product page for the 7594EWSRS adds a 5-year warranty on the digital components, so the sensor and control box are covered for less time than the faucet body.

My call: buy it if hands-free matters more to you than the boost button. It was new and in stock when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.

The Moen Adler kitchen faucet is the shortest pick on this page. Moen’s drawing for the 87233 series puts it at 14 9/16 in. tall, 15/16 in. under the 8/18 Arbor. That makes it the one to measure first when a window sill, a shelf or a low cabinet sits over the sink.

The drawing also puts the top of the lever 6 3/16 in. above the deck. Check that the lever can swing back without hitting a sill or a backsplash ledge. The reach is 7½ in., and the spray outlet clears 8 5/16 in., a hair more than the 8/18 Arbor’s 8¼ in. and less than the 06/26 Arbor’s 8¾ in.

The spray is Moen’s Power Clean, which the spec sheet describes as more force and less splash. The wand runs stream or spray, pulled down or docked. There’s no boost button, and the flow limit is the same 1.5 gpm at 60 psi as every pick here.

Hookup is simple. Moen says its 3/8 in. compression connections take a standard ball nose connection for 3/8 in. tubing. In plain words, it’s built to hook up to standard 3/8 in. supply connections. The hose joins under the sink with Duralock quick connect, and the hose is the usual 68 in. braided Reflex hose.

It mounts through 1 or 3 holes at least 1½ in. across, on a deck up to 2½ in. thick. Moen’s drawing shows a 10¼ by 2⅜ in. escutcheon, and the Amazon listing says the deck plate for 3-hole sinks comes in the box. Moen’s sheet doesn’t give a swivel angle for this model.

Moen’s parts sheet lists service kit 160657: the Duralast cartridge, its nut and set screw. It carries Moen’s lifetime limited warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects for the original homeowner. Moen lists IAPMO Green, ASME A112.18.1 and NSF 61/9 and 372, plus two check valves and an ADA lever.

My call: buy the Adler when height is the problem. It was the genuine Moen model, new and in stock, when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.

The Moen Align 7565 is the pick for a single-hole sink and tall pots. Moen’s drawing gives it 9½ in. from the deck to the spray outlet, the most room under the spout on this page. That’s the space a stockpot has to fit under when you fill it in the sink.

The overall height is 15.70 in., close to the Arbor, with a 7½ in. reach. The spout turns 360°, so it can swing over both bowls of a double sink. The look is squarer than the Arbor’s curve, with a straight body and a short lever.

Moen designs the Align for one hole at least 1½ in. across. The spec sheet names an optional 3-hole escutcheon, part 141002, and the Amazon listing says it’s sold separately. On a 3-hole sink you need that plate, and the hole table below links the genuine Moen part on Amazon.

Moen’s sheet also says the handle is designed to mount on the right side only. If there’s a soap pump or a wall on the right of your faucet hole, check the clearance. The lever needs under 5 lb of force and swings through 100° from cold to hot.

The spray is Power Clean, stream or spray in either position. The Amazon listing says Power Clean gives 50 percent more spray power than most faucets without it. That’s Moen’s claim, not a test of ours. It docks with Moen’s Reflex system on the usual 68 in. braided hose.

Moen’s parts sheet lists service kit 160657 for the cartridge, nut and set screw. Moen lists NSF 61/9G and 372 certification, IAPMO Green, two check valves and the same lifetime limited warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects as the Arbor. Supply lines end in 3/8 in. compression fittings, and the deck can be up to 2½ in. thick.

My call: buy the Align for a modern 1-hole sink, especially if you wash big pots. It was new and in stock when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.

The Moen Cia 7622BL reaches farther than any other pick here. Moen’s drawing gives an 8¾ in. reach from the faucet’s center to the spray outlet, 7/8 in. more than the 8/18 Arbor and 2⅛ in. more than the 06/26 version. On a big single bowl, that puts the stream closer to the drain and away from the back wall.

It’s also tall. The drawing shows 16⅞ in. overall and 9⅜ in. from the deck to the spray outlet, second only to the Align’s 9½ in. Measure from the counter to the bottom of any shelf, window sill or cabinet above the sink before you order this one.

The Cia has Power Boost, which Moen’s sheet says gives boosted water performance with the push of a button. The Reflex pulldown docks the wand on a 68 in. braided hose, and the spout turns 360°. Supply lines end in 3/8 in. compression fittings and join with Duralock quick connect.

BL is Moen’s matte black finish. The Amazon listing says optional chrome and brushed gold accents come with it, so you can change the look of the trim rings.

Moen designs it for 1 or 3 holes at least 1½ in. across, on a deck up to 2½ in. thick. Moen’s product page says the deck plate is sold separately, and its parts sheet lists it as 141002. The hole table below links the matte black version on Amazon.

Moen’s parts sheet lists service kit 160657 for the cartridge, and the lever is rated ADA. The warranty on this sheet reads lifetime limited against material or manufacturing defects to the original homeowner, with 10 years in multifamily and 5 years in commercial use. Moen lists NSF 61/9 and 372 certification.

My call: buy the Cia for reach and tall pots when you have the headroom. It was new and in stock when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.

The Moen Brantford 7185ORB is the traditional pick. ORB is Moen’s oil-rubbed bronze, which the listing describes as a dark brown finish with light and dark accents. The body has a more classic, detailed look than the Arbor, with a curved lever on the side.

Under the styling, Moen’s drawing matches the 8/18 Arbor: 15½ in. tall, a 7⅞ in. reach and 8¼ in. from the deck to the spray outlet. The spout turns 360°, and the lever swings through 100° from cold to hot with under 5 lb of force.

The current version on Moen’s sheet has Duralock quick connect and Power Boost. Moen says the Power Boost button turns on a boosted stream and a boosted spray. Normal flow is 1.5 gpm at 60 psi. The hose is the usual 68 in. braided Reflex hose.

Moen designs it for 1 or 3 holes at least 1½ in. across, on a deck up to 2½ in. thick, with a 10¼ by 2⅜ in. escutcheon. One listing bullet says single hole mount, but another says 1 or 3 holes with the escutcheon included. We went with Moen’s sheet.

Inside is the 1255 Duralast cartridge, and Moen’s parts sheet lists service kit 1255. The Adler, Align and Cia use a Duralast too, but their sheets list kit 160657, with a different retainer nut. Moen lists IAPMO Green, NSF 61/9 and 372, two check valves and an ADA lever, with the lifetime limited warranty against leaks, drips and finish defects.

Like the Arbor, the Brantford has an older version on Moen’s sheet with plain quick connect and Power Clean spray. If you’re fixing an older Brantford, look at the hose connection under the sink first, since the hose and parts differ by version.

My call: buy the Brantford for a bronze kitchen. It was the genuine Moen model, new and in stock, when I re-checked Amazon on Oct 22, 2026.
