The Moen 7730 faucet is a sleek one handle sink faucet with matching fin that is designed and manufactured by Moen, a leading name in bathroom and kitchen faucets, primarily sink faucets.

Moen is known for both their constantly updated styles, as well as reliability. Moen faucets are known for their exact on and shut off functions, and are also known for being especially resistant to springing leaks.

The Moen 7730 faucet is part of the Monticello family of faucets from the Moen company. This line of faucets is all about sleek and elegant lines, with dramatic curves to both the faucets and handles as well.

With a cathedral spout, the Moen 7730 faucet provides both excellent reach and great height. Height can be important for washing or filling particularly tall containers, pots or pans, while good reach is important for being able to reach all areas of the sink with water.

The spout of the faucet itself reaches to twelve inches in height and will fit into any three-hole kitchen sink arrangement. Since the three portions of the sink are individual pieces, the faucet, handle and sprayer can be placed as near or far apart as your sink layout demands.

The Moen 7730 faucet has a one piece washerless cartridge in place of the traditional valve assemblies found in most sink faucet configurations. There are advantages and disadvantages to this type of valve assembly. For one thing, you don't have to worry about replacing individual washers or nuts. One the other hand, replacing the entire assembly is obviously going to be more expensive than replacing a few nuts or washers.

The spout of this elegant sink faucet is able to swing in a wide arc for versatility and great reach. This can be a critical feature for a kitchen sink where a lot of cooking and so clean up happens. The addition of a side sprayer makes clean up that much easier.

As with all Moen sink faucets, the handle is elegant and offers very precise control of water flow. In fact, there are few faucets and faucet handles that can control flow as precisely as most Moen faucets. The side sprayer of the 7730 Moen faucet produces a very powerful spray that is perfectly suited for cooking as well as cleanup operations. The side sprayer also has a very adequate reach.

There are several different finishes to choose from when ordering a Moen 7730 faucet set. Chrome is probably the most popular finish, but there are also ivory, polished brass, stainless steel, 'glacier' and 'sand' from which to choose. Be aware that these finishes each have quite different base colors, so you will probably want to see one in person before deciding on one of the more exotic faucet finishes.

The Moen 7730 retails for about $200, although you can find it for quite a bit less if you're willing to shop around online and/or at discount kitchen and bathroom fixture stores. With a little bit of effort, or if you wait for more time to pass, you should be able to find a 7730 for around $150 or less.
