I'm currently using a pull-down kitchen faucet with a counterweight and I'm curious about switching to a spring neck faucet. For those who have experience with spring neck faucets, how do you find them in terms of usability and cleaning? I'm particularly interested in whether it's a hassle to clean if something falls into the spring area. Here's a link to the style I'm considering: [Delta Antoni Faucet](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-Antoni-Single-Handle-Pull-Down-Sprayer-Kitchen-Faucet-with-Spring-Spout-in-Chrome-18803-DST/316002745).

I've had a spring neck faucet for a few years now, and honestly, I love it! I use my kitchen a lot, and nothing has ever gotten caught in the spring. Just be sure to point the nozzle down when not in use to avoid splashing.
I sometimes use the spring part to hang my dishcloth. It actually dries much quicker that way!
I've had a cheap one for a while, and it's been great! Just make sure to get one that extends well into the sink to reduce splashes. Cleaning isn’t an issue; you just have to keep the nozzle angle right.
Exactly! Just measure from the faucet mount to over the drain to ensure it fits well.
Honestly, I hated mine. It was such a pain to clean, and the springs got dusty really fast. I replaced it with a pull-down version, which I prefer for ease of use.
Yeah, the spring design might look nice, but the dusty springs can be really annoying!
That was my experience too. I found the pull-down to be much easier to manage and keep clean.
Totally agree! I’ve had the Kohler version with a magnetic attachment, and it's super easy to pull off. Just wish it reached a bit further into the sink.
