Moen Essie Touchless Kitchen Faucet

What owners say

The original poster describes four years of frustration with the Essie Touchless: the sprayer head felt cheap out of the box, the touchless sensor was unreliable (both unresponsive and prone to phantom triggers), and the handle doesn't mechanically open a valve — it just triggers the same electronic signal as the sensor, adding a half-second delay before water flows. A second owner corroborates having "this exact faucet" with the same set of problems.
