Blog Post #8 - Kitchen faucets and Sheena Iyengar

Until you watch Sheena you wont know how difficult is it is choose and why choice hurts businesses and customers.

I wanted to buy a Faucet and as you can guess I broke mine. A simple cartridge replacement resulted in $188 Delta Izak from Homedepot.

Now that I have a new kitchen Faucet the question was how long did it take to choose -- hours. Do i want one handle or two. Soap dispenser or not. Handle on side or top. Do i want base plate or not? Do i install it or Lowes? Where is the putty? (What is a putty and why do i need it and what else do i need.. That youtube video from Lowes said...).

Delta or Moen. Why?

What is a spray and steam?

Ok. The message is don't break your faucet or else you have to choose!
