While there are only two main types of Pegasus faucets, single and double handled, there are many different styles and designs available.  Some materials used for these faucets are available in both the kitchen and the bathroom, but others tend to look better on the bathroom sink.
Brushed nickel is one of the most popular styles of Pegasus kitchen faucets. With a sleek contemporary design, these faucets are at home in even the most luxurious kitchen. Brushed nickel is also a low maintenance finish that wears well and easily hides scratches.
Polished chrome is another extremely popular style of Pegasus kitchen faucet. Its shiny exterior is more suited for more modern and flashy kitchens or bathrooms. Chrome has the benefit of being both durable and affordable, two desirable characteristics to any consumer. The downside to polished chrome is that it wears very easily and must be properly maintained.
Stainless steel faucets, while not the most flashy, are very popular with the efficiency minded consumer. Because stainless steel does not rust, these are very easy to maintain and can last a very long time. Stainless steel faucets also handle day-to-day wear very well, over time scratches and other blemishes will fade and blend in with the faucets finish. Stainless steel also has the benefit of being very affordable, which is a major selling point for all consumers.
Polished brass is another popular style of Pegasus faucet. With its shiny brass exterior, these faucets are at home in even the most retro environment. Brass also has the benefit of being extremely durable and highly resistant to corrosion. Unfortunately, if not properly protected, brass will eventually begin to tarnish and fade. There are various finishes available on the market that will help prevent your brass faucet from tarnishing.  If you are looking for a unique faucet for your kitchen, you are most likely going to find what you are searching for in a brass faucet.  They also look great when installed on the sink in the bar.  If you have a stainless steel bar fridge and counter, the brown metal will contrast nicely with it.
Like brass, a very popular type of faucet these days is made out of what is called oil rubbed bronze.  These bronze kitchen faucets are not as shiny as polished brass, and they have an old fashioned, european look to them.  Brass is good if you want flashy, but oil rubbed bronze faucets are better for a nice dark brown look.
Some of the less popular styles of Pegasus kitchen faucets include pearl nickel, biscuit, and white. Perl nickel faucets have a dull nickel appearance, and like brushed nickel they hide daily wear and scratches very well. Biscuit is a soft, off-white finish that is similar to that used on many appliances. White, as its name suggest, is a white colored finish that is very similar to biscuit. Both biscuit and white finishes are neutral styles that can be used in almost any kitchen.  As far as the handle goes, there are usually enough choices in each type so that you can take your pick between a Pegasus single handle kitchen faucet or one with two handles.

There are quite a few reputable companies that focus on household faucets, but one of them isn’t as well known as the others.  A company called Pegasus has come onto the home scene in full force and makes many different products.  You can get a Pegasus faucet for the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, or the shower and tub.  Here is an in depth look at the types of Pegasus faucets available today.

Pegasus Kitchen Faucets

Although there are a number of cheap Pegasus faucets available, they make some very beautiful high end models that do an excellent job of combining style and functionality.  Like many of their models, the Arko line has Pegasus faucet parts that come apart when pulled, turning it into a sprayer as well. This type is called a pull down faucet.   You can get a Pegasus kitchen faucet in many different styles, including the old-fashioned looking bridge style, the “goose neck” high arcing pull out, and the sleek looking LaToscana pull out model.  What is neat about the high arcing models is that the neck is flexible as well.

Pegasus Bathroom Faucets

The other main style of faucets that this company makes is those meant for the bathroom.  There are so many different and unique styles to choose from that you will surely see something you like.  From the classic porcelain handle faucets to the unique “bamboo” style Pegasus bathroom faucet designed to look like a piece of bamboo, this company makes many innovative designs.  In addition to just faucets, Pegasus also makes complete bathroom vanity sets that include the vanity, the sink, and the faucet.
If you are looking for an inexpensive solution for a new bathroom, you can get a complete Pegasus vanity set for only $230.  This includes a wooden base, a ceramic sink, and single handle Pegasus bath faucet.

Pegasus Tub Faucets

In addition to sink faucets, there is an entire line of Pegasus bath faucets as well.  One thing that this company specializes in is products finished with oil rubbed bronze.  With so many homes using shiny chrome fixtures these days, installing an oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet or shower spout in will draw some attention to your house.  It is an easy way of giving your bathroom that special touch.

Pegasus Faucet Parts

Some people have a tough time finding spare parts to repair their Pegasus faucet.  Searching online for their parts seems to pretty futile.  The reason for this is because Pegasus is a proprietary brand of the store Home Depot, which means that if you want parts for it, you have to go to one of their stores.  You can buy the faucets themselves on Amazon, but their parts are nowhere to be found, which makes Pegasus faucet repair a royal pain.

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.

Although it isn’t quite as well known as Delta, Moen, or Price Pfister, Pegasus produces a wide range of faucets for many uses.  There are Pegasus faucets for the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the bathtub, and even the bar.  The good thing about Pegasus is that their products aren’t too expensive.  They range from the simple and very inexpensive to fancy models that cost a few hundred dollars.  If you are looking for a Pegasus faucet, these are some of the types that they make:

Pegasus Kitchen Faucets

This company makes lots of great kitchen faucets.  One of the great things about their kitchen faucets is that a lot of them are “pull down” models.  This means that the end of the faucet pulls off to become a kitchen sprayer.  While other companies like Danze charge a lot of money for their pull down faucets, you can find a Pegasus pull down for a reasonable price.  They start at around $150 for the cheaper models.
One unique kitchen faucet that they make is the Pegasus Bridge Style faucet in Brushed Nickel.  It has a shiny and elegant design with a hint of luxury, and costs just over $100.  While you can get cheaper faucets than this, a Pegasus kitchen faucet is a great deal for the style that they offer.  If you are looking for something with an old fashioned look, an oil rubbed bronze kitchen faucet should do the trick pretty well.  Take a look at the picture for an idea of what they look like.

Pegasus Bathroom Faucets

Pegasus really has a diverse selection of bathroom faucets.  Whether you are looking for one that is shiny, dark, unique, or luxurious, they have something to offer.  One Pegasus bath faucet is shaped like a stick of bamboo.  This vessel style has one handle and comes out of a single hole in the sink.  Vessel faucets are meant to be used in conjunction with vessel sinks, which are round bowls made of glass or another material.  You can get them in either shiny brushed nickel or dark heritage bronze.
Another Pegasus bathroom faucet is the high profile Abigail.  This bath faucet has a taller neck than other bath faucets, which sets it apart.  It has a brushed nickel finish and comes with two handles

Pegasus Bath Faucets

If you are looking for a stand-out bath and shower faucet, Pegasus makes some good looking models.  Some Pegasus shower faucets have a curved neck that is not commonly seen. They make them in both oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel, so you can choose the finish you like.

Pegasus Faucet Parts

Eventually, even the best faucets may start to leak.  When this happens, you can often repair them easily yourself.  Fortunately, Pegasus faucet repair is easier because you can buy the parts online.  You can get an extra gasket that should stop a leaking bathtub faucet.  If you want to spruce up your lavatory faucet, you can get a trim kit that includes new handles and everything else you need to install them.
