How to Choose a Pegasus Kitchen Faucet

Who Makes Pegasus Faucets?

If you are considering purchasing a Pegasus kitchen faucet, there are a few things that you need to know.  First, Pegasus is a brand that is owned by The Home Depot, and these faucets are sold in their stores as well as on the internet.  One thing that customers should know about Pegasus faucets is that if you need to fix it later on, it is a bit harder to find parts for them.  While faucet parts are easily available for other brands like Moen, and Price Pfister, Pegasus faucet parts hardly seem to exist.  Even if you look at the Home Depot’s website, they only offer a few odds and ends, and not the parts you would need to replace a handle or something like that.

If you run into this problem, one of your only options may be to go into the store you bought the faucet from and see if you can get them to find the part you need.

Pegasus Kitchen Faucet Designs

Despite the problems with finding replacement parts, Pegasus offers some very nice kitchen faucets at every price range.  The folks designing products at this company have figured out that many people these days want what is called a pull-down kitchen faucet, so they offer quite a few of them.  Pegasus pull down faucets come in a number of designs, ranging from the high arc neck to smaller units.  The good thing about these pull out models is that they eliminate the need for a separate kitchen sprayer.  Some types even have the ability to spray at two different speeds.
If you like old fashioned looking faucets, a good choice is what they call the “bridge” faucet.  It has an antique look to it with a high, curving neck.  Like many Pegasus faucets, they can come with a brushed nickel (silver), chrome, or oil rubbed bronze (brown) finish.  The bronze finished faucets tend to portray an old fashioned look, while the shiny nickel or chrome models look more modern.  If you are looking for something a bit more out of the ordinary, an oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet should do the trick quite nicely.

If the old fashioned look just isn’t your cup of tea, there are some designs that are very modern looking as well.  The Hi-tech, Arco, and K Series models of Pegasus faucet have sleek modern designs.

Should You Buy a Pegasus Faucet?

This is a tough question to answer.  On one hand, these are pretty high quality faucets, but on the other hand, they don’t tout a lifetime warranty like some of the other brands do.  If you trust The Home Depot and their customer service, then I guess they are a good buy.  If not, then there are plenty of other faucet options available, as I’m sure you are aware of.
