I have one by Moen, and yes you can get it at Home Depot. It is the kind you don't have to touch with messy hands, using elbows or part of your arm to active hot or cold.

Hi Tereriv

Almost any NAME brand faucet will be a decent faucet nowadays! Almost all national brands have lifetime warranties and are making it pretty easy to get replacement parts.

National brands with excellent warranty/customer support include:

Moen
Delta
Kohler
American Standard

Most are available at home depot or Lowe's.

Home depot brands, on the other hand, like glacier bay or pegasus, or brands like price pfister should be avoided in most cases as warranty/customer support is poor years after the faucet is purchased amd parts are hard to get/find. Eventually this should improve, but as of this time, they have yet to figure warranty/customer support as well as the other guys!

Other big name brands that are of high quality include names like Grohe and Danze, but again, replacement parts are hard to find when you need them!

Whatever faucet you do purchase, create a file and keep the receipt and the installation/parts instructions for future reference. Since these guys offer the lifetime warranty these guys hope you misplace the receipt or forget the name brand/model number. Setting them aside now will save you some time/hassle down the road, for sure!

I would recommend Moen, reasonable price, easy to repair when needed, just replace cartridge. Delta is also good, but when it needs repair you have to replace ball, 2 springs and 2 rubber washers, no big deal to fix, but I think Moen is easy and usually if you call Moen they will send you a replacement cartridge. Kohler is also good, and Grohe is one of the top of the line faucets.

My company used Moen valves in all of our condos and projects. Cheers, Tom
