Let me elaborate just a little. There is some play between the faucet and the pullout section, so when you move the faucet side to side you can feel it move. My wife and I preferred the feel of a traditional faucet.
These comments refer only to those that we tried (mostly Price-Pfister and Delta); we didn't try the particular faucet pictured.
We put this one in our kitchen, in the brazen bronze finish to go with the granite. We love it,not flimsy at all. It has very little play in it and the nozzle has a sort of magnetic catch on it so it stays in place.

For that price, it should be sturdy. The ones that seem flimsy are the lower end models. I like Kohler products, my Dad is a builder, and used them throughout our house.
1. if you keep a lot of junk under your sink the retractable hose gets tangled in the junk.
2. if you have children in your house (or are childish yourself ) you will end up with a waterfight in your kitchen.
<--- On the other hand, they are great for washing newborns...
look at moen faucets. lifetime guarantee. i have 2 of them. Parents had one that was about 10 years old and the handle started leaking, the sent them a new one no charge
We looked at them when we redid our kitchen. The only thing we didn't like about them was that they feel kind of flimsy.
Same, before renovating kitchen I was dead-set on a pull-out style faucet. After trying a few, however, we decided to go with a more traditional goose-neck fixture and separate sprayer.

We have a Kohler Fairfax in our kitchen and it is a great faucet. It makes washing large pots and pans a snap, coupled with an extra deep sink. It also feels very sturdy, no looseness when moving it from side to side.
I will always have one of these type faucets in my kitchen.
No concerns or thoughts, Moen is a good brand should be fine. We did Kohler in our remodel but only because everything else is also Kohler. No worries with this one. Send it.
The only problem I've seen with those, is that over time, the head tends to not hold in the retracted position & will dangle a bit.
Not sure if it's friction fit or magnet.

Mine was a friction fit. Only a hint of 'play' on it after 4 years.

might be the weight on the hose under the sink. I had a similar issue and just bought an extra weight to add to it, now it retracts like a MOFO
Going with this one in our new house, also a Moen. Wife is going black with the fixtures. I want simple shapes that are easy to clean. The "industrial" ones with the coils around the hose look like nightmares to keep shiny.
Where are you guys buying the faucets? Home Depot? Amazon? Trying to catch a deal.
We bought ours at HD with a 20% off coupon. Otherwise Amazon might be cheaper though brick and mortar stores are getting a lot more competitive lately so check around.
