The K-99259-VS’ pull-down sprayer has some fantastic features; helping to make this one of the best kitchen faucets on the market.

Kohler have also included their DockNetik technology with the Kohler K-99259-VS sprayer, which involves a magnetic docking station; allowing for easy retraction of the hose as well as secure docking. This gives the hose and spray head the support they need to maintain their shaping; stopping them from wearing out too quickly and saving you money on replacement parts.  

There are no fancy sensor controls on the K-99259-VS, but there are multiple stream options on the sprayer which is great.

The Kohler K-99259-VS makes the best use of its water supply with three different stream options in its sprayer. Firstly, there is the simple aerated spray for everyday use, like filling cups and vases, and for general rinsing. The aerated stream is a great feature as it not only conserves water but also doesn’t sacrifice any power in doing so. The aerated stream also doesn’t cause any splashback which is always a plus if you like to keep your clothes dry! Secondly, there is what Kohler have termed the ‘BerrySoft Spray’, which has been designed for gently rinsing fruit, vegetables, and other foods. This is a pretty unique feature which makes the K-99259-VS one of the best kitchen faucets for those who cook a lot.
