What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Moen Arbor 7594ESRS
One whitelisted hands-on tester, Reviewed (USA Today), covers this exact Moen Arbor 7594ESRS. It is their 'Best Splurge' pick: the reviewer installed each faucet and used it for about two weeks of routine use. Praised for smart dual motion sensing, solid build and easy install; the only listed con is cost, plus an occasional sensor false-trigger. Assessment is qualitative with no lab measurements. No other whitelisted tester published a fetch-clean review body for this exact model. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Smart, intuitive dual motion-sensing (front hand-wash sensor plus a wave on/off sensor on top) adds real everyday convenience; Well built, easy to use, and straightforward to install despite the added battery pack; Decent water pressure and a versatile sprayer setting.
Flagged: High cost — its only listed con and why it's the 'splurge' pick; Sprayer can dangle in front of the sensor and trigger continuous water flow; Occasional stray drip after intense use, and sensor imperfect with clear or dark cookware.
