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've been using the Bio Bidet Flow Motion Activated Kitchen Faucet for over 4 years now, so I feel I can offer a pretty honest review. At first, the motion activation was super convenient, especially when my hands are messy in the kitchen. It worked great for the first few months. But after some time, I started running into issues. The battery drains pretty quickly, and the sensor would sometimes stop responding correctly. There were times when it would turn on by itself, and I'd have to go manually turn it off to avoid wasting water. The problem is, my bedroom is on the second floor, and the kitchen is on the first floor—so sometimes I forget about it and can't notice that it's on. This mainly happens when the battery is low. Replacing the AA batteries does fix the problem temporarily, but it's definitely a hassle.
At this point, I've just disabled the motion activation feature altogether (there's a knob for that), and I'm using it as a regular faucet. The concept is great, but the battery drain and sensor issues make it less ideal for long-term use unless you're okay with regularly replacing the batteries. Still, it's fine for now, just not as convenient as it once was.
I've had 2 for about the same amount of time, and thankfully haven't had that issue or had to replace the batteries yet. Seems like a faulty sensor, and I'm guessing you're not the only one to experience it...I wonder if customer service has a solution for that that doesn't involve replacing the entire 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.
Is it just the black controller box or is it the sensor in the actual faucet above the sink that needs to be replaced? If the latter, can it be done without having to remove the faucet?

If the sensor is indeed malfunctioning, you'll probably need to take the faucet apart and replace the whole thing. I don't think Bio Bidet has a way to just replace the sensor since it's built into the faucet. I've reached out to their customer service before, and they were pretty good, so you could try asking about a warranty replacement. As for me, I just got fed up with these hassles, so I ended up disabling the feature manually.
Bought and installed this the last time Woot put it on sale. My unit has the hot and cold lines interchanged from the factory and the LED that flashes when it is activated does not work. Customer service assured me the faucet works and just swap the lines. Guess I got what I paid for.
I have had one for a few years, I really like it. I had a problem with it leaking out the handle and they sent me a replacement cartridge, it was a bitch to get out but I did finally get it apart and fixed. I would recommend it, it is very convenient
Same happened to mine, they sent me a free cartridge even out of warranty. At first it was hard to figure out how to remove, they sent me instructions and then it was easy.
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?"
I have had the flow for years and can't say enough good stuff about it. One single pack of batteries was JUST replaced, so they lasted nearly 5 years. No false on/off. Great finish. Would buy again.
Have had motion activated for around 5 years, original batteries. The difference between what I have and this one is that mine has the sensor on the left side and I'm not sure how about it in the front but it seems like no issues according to the comments here. Unfortunately I want brushed nickel that is out of stock.
I don't buy appliances or plumbing fixtures unless parts are widely available and reasonably priced. Parts for this thing don't seem to be available at all. No parts for it are available for it from Home Depot, Lowe's, or Bio Bidet's website.

Turns out they sent me chrome instaead of brushed nickel. I have a ticket open. I dont know if its going to go anywhere. Every guest was quick to point out to me that its not brushed nickel its chrome.. I dont have the best eyes for designs I didnt know. Hoping they can fullfil my actual order or refund it. Now i need to potentially tear out my faucet and i already threw the old one away

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

Are they all the same, one size fits all?
