2. Kitchen Faucet with a Side Sprayer

A lot of people often opt for a kitchen faucet which doesn’t come with a detachable head. This could be because they are concerned about their hygiene or aesthetics of the kitchen.

A kitchen faucet with a side sprayer is a good choice for such people as it will provide you with both flexibility and convenience.
