i started using them since i first experienced it in the hospital.
i started with the FLOW, and later on upgraded to the pull spring ones for the looks.
neither of them have major issues for the 5 years i used it. but here are few things to keep in mind:
1. the material used aren't what you come to expect for a 300 dollar MSRP. if you use to kohler or something like that, be prepared to be disappointed big time.
2. the water line is downgraded on the pull spring ones vs the flow version. the flow version had steel braided hose and the pull spring ones is just hose. i do think this is a big issue in the long term because the pulling motion will kink the hose.
3. while you can turn off the motion activation by turning the switch on the controller box, don't. the manual specifically said do not use manual mode for long period of time. this is because the entire control box is plastic, and the hose out of the controller box isn't pressure rated (not steel braided). normally the on/off switch is at the inlet of the control box so the box and the line after the box isn't subjected to main pressure, turning it in manual mode means the entire box and the line after it is subjected to the main pressure. doing it for long period of time is a disaster in making.
On most, it can be turned off. It's a very limited range from the sensor that activates the faucet. So rarely would it ever turn on falsely, at least in my experience. Extremely helpful when you have dirty hands. I don't have this specific model but my friend has one by flow very similar and everytime I use it I never have an issue.
Probably depends on usage but I've owned 2 in 2 different homes and for my situation probably on the order of years? For example the current one was installed almost 3 years ago and is still on the original set. Home with 6 people, 4 kids, constantly washing dishes, etc.
My flow motion activated faucet stopped working about a year ago. The faucet works but the sensor doesn't activate any more. I still have it but I miss only having to wave in front of the sensor to turn it on. I changed the batteries and made sure the sensor was clear and clean. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this issue?
I got used to a motion activated faucet and then moved to a house without one. I miss it. The best part is being able to "set and forget" the water temp and always turn it on at the same position. You do get unintended activations sometimes (for example when you drain pansta the steam can activate it and douse the pasta, lol) but overall it was worth it to me.
I've had this exact model for 4 years now, no issues. Love the motion sensing feature, but it takes time to get used to. The handle is always in the on position until it senses no motion.
I have had this faucet for over 4 years. It has been a game changer. Batteries last a long time, and the motion detector works great. One feature that isn't mentioned and is puts it over the top is that it activates when you pull the head out, and then shuts off when it retracts. Highly recommend and at this price it's a no brainer.

I had this installed in my last house and just moved a few weeks ago. I still find myself trying to use the sensor to turn on the faucet. I am absolutely ordering another one. I never changed the batteries in the 3 years I had it.
I've had both and hated the X. When the X went on sale for $100 sometime in the past year, I decided to get it and replace our 770 (which was working fine) with it and move the 770 into the laundry room. I guess I kinda liked the look of the X a little better, but the handle was a PITA to turn using your wrist or elbow. That might seem silly to say, but when your hands are dirty or soapy and you want to change the temp on faucet, you don't necessarily want to have to grip the handle with your dirty/soapy hands. We were so used to being able to easily change temp with a simple nudge that using the X was a non-starter. The shape of the handle doesn't give you the leverage to do it.
We have an original Flow - from before Bemis / Bio-Bidet bought them - and a newer one. As far as I can tell, they are identical except for the branding on the faucet body. The originally just has "FLOW" on it, while the newer one has "FLOW" in the same place, same font and size, but with an added "by Bemis" in tiny letters underneath. Maybe the internals are different, but they don't appear to be.
Good info on the X, thanks!
I have a couple of the original FLOWs, and the spray function atomizes the water and creates a mess of water droplets everywhere, so I never use it. Did any of the later versions like the 770 or X improve the spray function?

Came here looking for this comment. Mine just stopped working last week. Same as you , new battery and works manually. I haven't troubleshoot it yet. Mine is a Delta (I think,l and has lifetime warranty).
I had a similar issue two years ago and I forgot how I fixed it or if it just started working again.
When I change the battery it goes throug it's auto calibration and it'll actually turn on and off a few times on its own so I think it's just the sensor that's acting up

We love ours.... You can turn it off. It also turns itself off after so many seconds, to minimize wasted water.
