I have a Hansgrohe, and mine is hard plastic. I was told not to get the rubbery kind because they wear out. Here's mine:

I have the Brizo Venuto. It has a hard plastic button on the under/backside of the nozzle. You don't even see it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Brizo Venuto

I have the Pegasus Commercial Kitchen Faucet:

To turn on the spray you squeeze the handle. On the down side, however, the spray cannot lock.

But I know what you mean -- in a previous kitchen our (Grohe) faucet had the rubber mechanism.

I have the Delta Allora. It has a hard plastic button.

I'm not getting it, but I remember that the Kohler Forte had a hard plastic button too.

thank you all!! all of your faucets are cool and i'm going to check into all of them tonight.

I have the Hamat Danielle with a nice sturdy metal button.

Our Kohler Simplice is either plastic or very hard rubber...But not icky/flexible/rubbery feeling.

I also have the Delta Allora. I don't think it will be a problem in the future. So far, so good!

Our full sized Brizo Floriano has a hard plastic button. Our prep sized Floriano has a metal ring around the nozzle that you rotate to switch between the stream and spray.

My Blanco Classic has a metal button but it's a pull out. Blanco also makes pull downs that you might want to check out. Although I have no complaints about the Blanco, I prefer the pulldown. I too have a Hansgrohe pulldown (Swing model) and am happy with it.

I just got a Blanco pulldown, the Master Gourmet. All metal and I really like the squeeze-on/stay-on of the spray:

thanks!!

hi Jessie,
i have the rohl faucet with pull down spray. i love it! the close up picture didn't come out too well.

It looks like your prep sink Floriano has a seam right at the flare of the "flower head", if you will. Is that what you rotate for spray, or is it underneath there, not visible? I have both sizes of Florianos also, but I have never been able to figure out how to get the spray on the smaller one. I guess I don't really need it there, so I just forgot about it. But now that I see your picture, I don't have that seam in my "flower head", it's just a solid piece. Maybe mine is older and just isn't designed for that, I'm not sure.

KWC faucets have metal spray controls. Check out their website.

Oh WOW, that Rohl is GORGEOUS!!
DH laughed when I told him how much that faucet may cost him....sigh.

wallycat, my DH never found out!! lots of those expenses got buried along the way.

here is a better pic of it in case you are interested:

Mine is a KWC. See that "hat" on the top? It's the spray button. I love this faucet.

mamadadapaige, what a great closeup picture of your beautiful Ocean Green granite and faucet. Just love your granite!
