Detailed Review
The Moen Arbor with MotionSense technology brings hands-free convenience to the kitchen sink in a sleek, Spot Resist stainless package. After years of installing motion-activated faucets, this is the model that consistently earns the highest marks from both us and our clients.
The motion sensor is responsive and well-placed — a wave of the hand turns the water on, and another wave turns it off. The Spot Resist finish genuinely repels fingerprints and water spots, which is a lifesaver in busy kitchens. Installation is straightforward with Moen’s Duralock quick-connect system, making this a realistic DIY project for confident homeowners.
The trade-offs are minor but worth noting. The sensor runs on batteries (or an optional AC adapter), which need replacing every 12–18 months. And at $349, it’s a premium faucet. But for accessibility, convenience, and build quality, the Moen Arbor MotionSense remains our top kitchen faucet pick.
