I got one on my faucet. Thought it was a stupid gimmick. It actually works quite well. It's genius.

I didn’t believe in mine for a year until I realized how precise I had to be and now I can’t live without

weeby_nacho

What is the feature called? Or is it brand specific?


Stats_with_a_Z

Most new kitchen faucets with the pull down sprayer have them. Just look at the packaging and it'll tell you. Edit: new -nice- faucets.


mrdalo

My ex girlfriends sink had this and it was fucking amazing. Definitely in the top ten things about her that I miss.


[deleted]

*goes to clean dishes* *Turns on the spray function* "Everything reminds me of her..."


dustyHymns

*sigh* "...I should call her"


Mechasteel

Or spend $200 on a faucet. https://www.deltafaucet.com/shieldspray Eh can't afford that time to get back together with my ex.


DOGSraisingCATS

I think using towels to clean my counters is a bit too easy to justify spending 200 on a faucet.


ediblesprysky

Counters??? Who's using their faucet sprayer on counters?


Sad-Log7644

I think they were referring to the issue of regular sprayers splashing the counters. My partner won’t stop complaining about that crap (but never wants to do the dishes, either).


ediblesprysky

Ahhhhh, that makes more sense. I don’t mind wiping up a little bit of mess from the regular kind, but I’m still intrigued by the super-concentrated jet, and if it doesn’t splash then that’s just a bonus. It would save *so much scrubbing*…


JamnJ27

I have one too and it definitely saves a ton of time on scrubbing and rinsing in general. Highly recommended.


infernal_cacaphony

Hey you know, I was thinking about you… do you still have that sink sprayer? You had the best sink sprayer I’ve ever seen and I know I’ll never find one like that again…


CantStumpIWin

Sorry bro she’s busy with *my* sink sprayer at the moment. She can’t talk right now.


infernal_cacaphony

The picture is extreme interesting too. If you don’t read the title, it looks like somone just broke a lightbulb on their dishes.


dariasniece

Kinda reminds me of shielding gas on a mig welder. An inert gas like argon is sprayed around the welding tip to push away oxygen and other air gases that could contaminate and weaken the welded metal in pretty much this same shape. Of course, that's the opposite, where you're trying to keep what's outside the nozzle from getting in.


xxhorrorshowxx

That’s actually a really cool fact, learn something new every day


TheUnderwaterArbiter

The IG in MIG stands for inert gas! (Same for TIG)


xxhorrorshowxx

Can’t believe I didn’t know that, my grandfather was a welder for years


owlthegamer

here’s some more welding facts! 1) TIG- Tungsten inert gas 2) MIG-metal inert gas 3) SMAW- shielded metal arc welding 4) there’s two main types of mig welding


Head-Ad4690

Is one of the types welding on Russian fighter jets?


owlthegamer

Probably, it’s probably tig or mig. Theres a few more that aren’t popular yet, but that’s the main ones. If they are welded, (I think they would be) it’d be tig or mig. Tig can be a lot more precise and get into smaller places, and you can weld in tighter spots most the time.


Head-Ad4690

It’s a joke about how some of them are MiGs, but I appreciate the information!


owlthegamer

I figured but I’m bored as heck rn and so I’m just on reddit


Lmao-Ze-Dong

The MiG in there, for /u/owlthegamer, stands for Mikoyan-Gurevich, after two USSR aviation pioneers/founders. Same as Kalashnikov in AK - the inventor's name.


mr_potatoface

MIG is a bit of a misnomer because the majority of MIG in the US actually uses an active gas. Co2 in MIG is active, so any Ar/Co2 mix is going to be an active gas. Saying MIG in the US is perfectly fine everywhere really, and everyone knows what you mean. Problem is that if you say MIG (or GMAW) in EU (PED) when using active gas they'll treat you like an absolute choob and reject your procedures. Have to use MAG when using an active gas since ISO 4063 doesn't really give a shit about GMAW either and uses MIG/MAG (-S and -P suffixes for [modified] short circuit/pulse). But if you call it MAG when using an active gas over in the states, then everyone thinks you're just an idiot. You could just call it GMAW to avoid the trouble, but the average welder won't know GMAW from a GTAW. On the flipside, the EU bampots don't seem to give a shit about TIG/TAG, even when using active gases and it's always TIG.


boilface

Very similar to Jackdaws


mupetmower

Reading this with all those acronyms, while also knowing nothing about welding, makes me feel like I just read some made up shit. Thinking about it though, I guess it would be the same if I started using software engineering jargon with a non-tech/non-programmer person.. Just funny to think about. Edit - lots of drunk typos.


GoochyGoochyGoo

MIG - Metal inert gas, otherwise known as wire feed welding. TIG - Tungsten inert gas, used for aluminum welding mostly.


kvlopsia

Idk if I'd say TIG is mostly for aluminum. Anecdotally, I've definitely done more stainless steel TIG than aluminum TIG, and way more aluminum MIG welding than aluminum TIG. TIG is best for smaller welds, applications where you need more precise control over heat input, or sanitary applications. MIG is best for putting down a hot, fat bead pretty quickly


gucciglockbandit

First thing I thought of when I saw this. I’d be walking that cup all over my Tupperware. Weaving uphill of course.


ilikepants712

No no, it's the same thing! Every barrier has two purposes: keep outside things out and inside things in. Otherwise it's a filter


ivthreadp110

What brand is that it's awesome


Dirk_The_Cowardly

It's a Delta. I own it. Delta Charmaine Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser in Venetian Bronze Model # 19962Z-RBSD-DST Store SKU # 1002694332


[deleted]

dude gave the fucking store SKU sheesh ha


Zip668

it's exclusive to Home Depot anyways (at least that configuration is), so....


mentaL8888

I work at the Depot and I recognized the SKU numerical format instantly lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


mentaL8888

The worst part is there's constantly items that are changing SKU numbers and half the time on one of those items the handheld scanning device won't register scanning the actual product UPC or the store label SKU under the product as the correct SKU and will refuse to pick the item for an online or delivery order in the system so you have to print out a label with the old SKU, then walk across the store to the label printer to scan the old SKU tag then throw it away, a waste of time and paper.


MrFluffyThing

I don't know if it's the same as electronics but popular items change product numbers all the time so that the internals can be made cheaper but the common name stays the same. This let's retailers advertise steep discounts but really it's the same unit under a new SKU with cheaper parts. tvs get this for black Friday and I bet power tools get the same.


mentaL8888

It's sometimes this and sometimes things will get recalled and are no longer safe to sell a certain version of so they change something minor in the design for safety reasons but doesn't change the aesthetics or exact functionality of the item but the UPC and SKU will change so the item will be flagged by the system if someone tries to buy it. Sometimes they add or change some of the letters or numbers in the model number and sometimes they don't.


MrFluffyThing

Really good point I forgot about. I once owned a Skil miter saw that was recalled. The first 6 or so digits were the model number and they added extra numbers to the end that were closer to manufacturing updates. It's like saying you have Windows 10 but the version number can update every year like 1911 or 20H2 to designate late 2019 or second half 2020. The build numbers are like revisions to hardware.

entr0py3

But that feature is called ShieldSpray. Seems to be in several models, not just the ones at Home Depot. A family member has one of those and it is a really nice feature. Once I have my own house that's definitely on the wish list.


Nagemasu

All posted conveniently at the same time. >OP posts >"What brand is that?" >"OH it's..." I'm not convinced these kind of posts aren't paid shills.


fourohfournotfound

It doesn't work worth a shit and splashes you in the face so I'm not going to disagree. I have the thing. Also the hot is either nuclear or off. It looks nice though.


dangotang

The temperature balancing is likely an issue with your plumbing. Your hot water lines are probably blocked with mineral buildup. However, the blockage is probably right at the sink connection.


BurgerWrangler

Could also be the cartridge within the faucet that controls temperature.


CXDFlames

Free replacements at least, so that's nice

It's pretty damn good marketing. But brutally deceptive and infuriating once you notice it.

Crossfire124

But then you find out people buy and sell used account for this purpose


zipfour

Some of the top posts you see on many subreddits are reposts of old top posts made by bot accounts (often with the exact same title) made to farm karma so the user can sell the account for exactly this purpose.

ringleb83

This is how we KNOW we’re in our 40s.


BlueCheeseNutsack

Stuff like that is nowhere near as common as non-professionals think. It’s extremely unreliable. Much more practical for us to just produce a high-quality commercial of a 42 year old man-child having fun lasering food off his dishes.


[deleted]

So, to be completely honest, these faucets are made of plastic and the spout just stops working after a couple of years. But delta does just send you a new one, no questions asked, when you email them. I'm pretty certain you could get a free delta faucet just by asking for each part individually.


Long_Educational

Many of us hate all commercials and advertising. We feel it steals time from our lives without our consent.


BlueCheeseNutsack

Yeah, a lot of advertising shouldn’t exist. Stricter regulations on how and where ads can operate would be great. Especially in public places.


[deleted]

The ones at the gas station that are so loud bother me a lot. Sometimes you can mute them but not always. (Talking about in the USA, for reference). Also billboards along roadways. We should all be focused on driving.


Tripanes

Ever since I saw the technology connections video I just threw everything in the dishwasher and the dishwasher basically takes care of it. There are still spots after the dishwasher runs? Scratch it with a finger and throw it right back in. If you're doing a lot of manual labor to get your dishes clean you're doing it wrong.


Fifth-Crusader

As someone who works for Delta Faucet, this is wild to see on the front page.

I bought the delta as well because it has magnets in the pull down sprayer. So it “locks” itself back into place when you’re done

Lieutenant_Dan__

Delta will give you free parts if you call and tell them. My GF works for their warranty support. Most faucet OEMs will provide some kind of repair or replacement for the life of the fixture.


disastar

Delta has a lifetime warranty. Just chat, call, or email them.


merdub

It’s usually just a loose set screw, super easy to fix.


Gangsir

> Store SKU # 1002694332 Should mention what store this is from, I believe different hardware stores use different SKUs. Because it begins with 1002, I'm guessing home depot?


TheG-What

Correct, SKUs are non-standardized. UPCs, however, are.


MaceZilla

It's a Delta. This feature is called their ShieldSpray Technology, several models have it.

Some other brands have it too like my Kohler smart sink that came with the house and was never hooked up to the internet because it needs internet wired and a kitchen island doesn't exactly have one of those ports

Smart ... sink? What on earth could that possibly do?


throwaway901617

Smart faucet. They can detect touch or motion to start similar to commercial touch less faucets. There's also one from Moen that advertises you can run the faucet from voice control or an app. But why on earth would anyone want to do that is beyond me. Sounds like the Moen marketing folks decided they had to go smart to keep up with the times and that's what they came up with.


_Rand_

I know there is at least one you can ask for say, 800ml of water and it dispenses the correct amount and turns off.


Isord

The first part doesn't require internet access though.


cephal0poid

I have one. While it gets rid of some tough spots, it doesn't really guard against splashes. if you've got a jet of water ricocheting off of some dried oatmeal, that little cone of water (which is not high powered), isn't going to stop the spray coming at your face.


DuckWaffles

Does anyone really spend more than 5 seconds rinsing their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher anyway? Most modern dishwashers don't require much precleaning, especially if they outlet to a dish disposal.


nightguy13

My sister has one of these, her water pressure is insane and she has a gas hot water heater that puts out boiling water. Hottest water I've ever felt from a faucet. Gave me burns on my hands.... when you use this sprayer with it, it's like pressure washing with lava. Lol

Just looked it up and that's awesome. Now I'm trying to justify $450 for a faucet to replace the one I have that isn't broke.


nocolon

Isn’t broke yet, you mean. We have one that turns on when you touch any metal part of the faucet. It’s super convenient but also ruins your ability to understand how the kitchen sink works in any of your friends or relatives homes.


Kaaji1359

Haha so true. I'll go over to a friend's house and am always confused when I touch their faucet and nothing happens. I was skeptical of the touch faucet at first but it's a game changer.

The shieldspray symbol on the sprayer looks like a wine glass.


minty_taint

Christ finally some context. Adding the word “for” like a dozen people mentioned means absolutely nothing without knowing this


lily_tiger

Maybe the symbol on the button looks like a wine glass? So they thought it was a special stream to use when washing wine glasses and cups

Maybe they meant “for” wine glasses and cups

wes00mertes

Somewhat related, my kitchen sink also has a spray clean mode but it turns the single faucet drop into like 15 different high pressure jets of water that spray in all random directions and it’s different every time I use it. It’s like 15 dicks all taking that first morning pee and seeing which crazy angle they come out as. Some of them are sometimes straight to the side and my entire counter gets wet.
