I just had a Grohe Ladylux kitchen faucet (single handle pullout type)installed and I'm not happy at all with the spray force. older faucets in the house including those upstairs give very nice pressure. This is the 3rd kitchen faucet I've had. The last one (Price Pfister) also didn't have great pressure. The original faucet did. The valves are fully open.
The main difference I would say as far as the install goes is that the original faucet had copper tubing running from the supply line all the way up close to the faucet. The new one has copper tubing only up till the valve then there are 2 sets of metal braided lines. One that came with faucet and one that was added on as extension because the supply lines supplied with faucet were a bit too short.
Also, when the faucet is shut off the water slowly ceases flowing rather than suddenly shutting off as with most faucets.
