If you are about to renovate you kitchen, or you just need to replace an old kitchen faucet that is not properly working anymore, you might have a problem deciding which to get as there are so many brands and types available. Nowadays, with the entrance of smart faucets, the task of choosing the best faucet for your kitchen and your own kitchen habits, has become even more difficult. 

There are all types of smart faucets: some are simply touchless and can be activated and stopped with a simple wave of the hand. Others require just a simple touch with your finger anywhere on the faucet to be activated or stopped. Still others support Wi-Fi and can be activated using your smartphone or simply by talking when used in conjunction with Alexa or Google Assistant. Of course, all these smart faucets are still equipped with a handle for manual activation.

To simplify the selection task, we will be presenting in this article the most popular and the best rated smart faucets bought by Amazon customers. These are the Moen faucets belonging to the Arbor 7594 series. These are all cartridge type single-handle faucets. Whether you use one of the "smart" methods to activate the faucet or simply the turning of the handle, the internal cartridge rises or lowers within the faucet body in order to start and stop the flow of water. Both hot and cold water flow through the same cartridge. A simple turn of the handle controls the mixing of the hot and cold water and therefore the temperature level. Finally, in some advanced "smart" faucets, you can vocally request the temperature and the volume of the water to be produced.

So which of these four Moen Arbor 7594 series faucet to get?

Clearly, we are dealing here with very high-quality pullout/pulldown faucets that were designed to allow execution of messy kitchen tasks conveniently and efficiently. Note that all four Moen 7594 faucets described above come with all the essential features pullout/pulldown faucets should have, while some also have advanced "smart" features. Note also that, at the time this article was written, Amazon users had provided raving reviews for all four faucets and given an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars to each. So, you will not go wrong by getting any of these four faucets!

However, the four faucets present some important differences that may affect your decision:

• If you you'd like to be able to control your faucet from wherever you may be using your smartphone, you should get the Moen 7594EV (also referred to as "U by Moen"). Note that you will need to have Wi-Fi support at home for smartphone control of your faucet.
• With Moen 7594EV (also referred to as "U by Moen"), you can also control your faucet vocally if you have Amazon Echo or Google Home smart speakers installed at your home. Amazon Echo and Google Home will allow you to communicate with your faucet vocally using respectively Alexa and Google Assistant. 
• If having the touchless control functionality is enough for you, then you have the option of getting either Moen 7594EW or the Moen 7594E faucet. The first one is equipped with a single sensor while the second one has 2 sensors and therefore can respond even better to various movements.
• Finally, if you are not interested in smart faucets, and it is sufficient for you to be able to control your faucet manually using the built-in handle, then you should consider the Moen 7594.
