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.
i feel like i would hate having motion sensor activated. can you turn that feature off?
My wife said the same thing before we installed ours a little over 5 years ago. Now, we will never have a kitchen faucet without it. Both the auto-on for the pulldown sprayer and the motion sensor make kitchen work so much easier. We cook all our meals from scratch daily, so my hands are frequently full, dirty, covered with meat juice, etc. Not having to touch the faucet is a big sanitary improvement. We have the Flow, and the motion sensor is precise, near-field, and very predictable.
Why? The only downside to motion faucets is when you're in a public bathroom and the faucets don't work and you're standing there like a moron waving your hands under the faucet wondering "is it just me?"
These are just forming a new habit of passing your hand in front of them to turn them on, but they are fantastic! The water is always set to the correct temp, and most faucets automatically shut off after about 3 minutes. Then another wave and you keep going. It's actually helpful to see how much time you actually spend washing dishes. The automatic shut offs just keep you on track.
The only downside is that these do have the front facing sensor which can get accidentally tripped as you're putting the dishes in the drying rack if that's near the sensor, or you have a double sink. Some other fancy faucets have them to the side, but they're 2-3 times more expensive.
We've had motion faucets for about 4 years now and love them. The only downside is when a new visitor comes over and manually shuts off the handle by mistake. Then you stand there in your own house like a moron waving your hands under the faucet wondering "is it just me?"
Due to our sink setup, our sensor is actually at more like 7 o'clock when looking down on it, rather than at 6 o'clock (directly facing the sink), so you can absolutely install this in any rotation. The goose neck swivels so that isn't a problem but the valve/mixer is fixed 90 degrees to the sensor so that will rotate with the body.
The only time I tend to get false triggers:
- water on the sensor. Usually this could happen in the course of washing dishes, so generally what happens is that means the water won't turn off with the wave of a hand, you have to dry the sensor first. Literally might happen once a month.
- really reflective things seem to have a greater range at which they will trigger the sensor. Your hand might be 2-3" max, but a pan with a shiny outside (polished metal) might be like 4-6" or so. After a bit you learn to just keep the pan a bit further away from the sensor, generally happens while rinsing.
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?
There's a 5 year warranty on it. Getnin touch with BB and they will give you a new one.
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.
I concur with this and another poster who was at the three year mark. I finally had to change mine at near four years so the general consensus is 3.5 - 4 years which is insane for 4 AAs.

Never knew bio-bidet makes kitchen faucet... any good?
Judging by their poor quality and customer support of their Bidets, I would think probably not. Faucets are one of those things where it doesnt pay to cheap out on. These are probably re-badged cheap chinese units. Go to delta's website and look at their selection of refurbished faucets.
I got my original Flows on a deal from Costco about 4-5 years ago. I've only changed the battery once in each of them. I absolutely love these faucets. The finish looks as good as the day we installed them and no issues with the sensitivity of the motion sensor. The only caveat is that it appears a shadow or sun ray can potentially set off the motion sensor but it never turns on for more than a few seconds when it happens. We do turn off the handle when we go on vacation just to be safe.
I bought mine a few months ago from the last woot deal and so far so good. The only modification I made was to create a bracket for the connector coming from the box to the faucet. My water pressure is high enough to make that connector pop off.
I purchased this from Costco a year ago and it's still going strong. Original batteries. The motion sensor is so useful. Love that it turns on when you pull the spout out and off when you retract it back. Don't think I can ever go back to a manual kitchen faucet.
I have one of the other bio-bidet motion sensor faucets for kitchen for few years now. Highly recommended. Would never go back to no-motion sensor faucet. The motion sensing stopped working for a while, and bio-bidet sent me the new motion sensor unit free of charge.

If the bathroom is occupied, I use my Flow in the kitchen and results are superb. You can tell they put the same engineering into their spray heads and bidets

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