Moen Karis Chrome Single-Hole Bath Faucet

The Moen 84346SRN Karis faucet in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel is an excellent upgrade and well worth the investment. The finish looks modern and high-end, and it truly lives up to the “spot resist” claim—water spots and fingerprints are barely noticeable, which keeps the faucet looking clean with minimal effort. Installation was straightforward, even for a DIY project, and all the necessary hardware was included. The handle operates smoothly, water flow is consistent, and the temperature control is precise. It feels solid and well-made, exactly what you’d expect from Moen. Beyond appearance, the faucet performs flawlessly in daily use and adds a polished look to the bathroom. With great build quality, easy maintenance, and Moen’s strong reputation for reliability, this faucet earns a full five stars without hesitation.

Well made single handle faucet that we bought to replace the double handle faucets in our new home. Very easy to control the water temperature. They were also easy to install. The drain stop is different in that all you do is push down on the drain and it seals and keeps the water from draining. Push down on it again and it opens up.

Nice faucet, looks modern. I didn't like the low water flow so I fixed it. There's a tiny little rubber o ring inside the aerator. You have to use the included plastic key to remove it so keep it safe somewhere and don't forget where you put it. Once you loosen and unscrew the aerator, there's a plastic screen you have to split open. Either use your fingernail or a knife to get it open and don't do this over the sink. Parts may fly all over. Once inside the plastic screen you'll see a tiny black circle in the center part of the plastic aerator. Pry that out and reassemble the screen, place it back into the aerator and screw it back into the faucet, tightening it with the key. Now I have strong water flow and can control it instead of having to tolerate only the stock low flow limitations. It's amazing that that one tiny o ring is capable of restricting water so effectively. Get rid of it. I did the same thing to my shower head when I got it a few years ago and really like the heavy water flow better than the weak spray it used to have. Something to consider. Otherwise the faucet is solid and nice looking and is functional 👍

Installed today. You can't go wrong with a Moen faucet. Looks nice and heavy.

Love the look of this faucet. High quality and easy to use

The style of this Moen Karis faucet is clean and modern. Water easily wipes off of the brushed nickel finish, and the amount of water it produces is more than adequate. The spout extends further into the sink than my previous faucet, so less water ends up on the counter. My one complaint is that the gasket that seats the drain into the sink opening is thin and flimsy. It leaked, so we eliminated the gasket and instead applied plumber’s putty in that location. We also used waterproof silicone caulk under the sink at the top of the cone gasket. After allowing it to dry overnight, the leaking was eliminated. Love my Moen faucets so far!

I had a hose pop off my old Moen bathroom faucet, and decided to replace the whole thing rather than figure out the problem. I needed to spend my time repairing the water-damaged cabinet base. I wasn't fond of the old faucet, which had a sharp edge around the outlet, and an aerator screen that was a PITA to clean, so I was ready to replace it. The newer 84346SRN has a smoother outlet, better access to the aerator screen, and a single handle control that is very smooth. It also flows more pressure with a less splashy output, added plusses. The kit comes with a sturdy matching faucet base to block off a three-hole sink, and an entire pop-up drain assembly to replace the old style fiddly plastic drain valve controlled by a vertical rod. Even though my sink is one-hole, I chose to use the faucet base, which provides more mounting strength and less chance of drips. Changing the drain valve is optional. The new assembly is complete but requires removing the old drain pipe from under the sink, sealing the new drain assembly, and reconnecting the outlet. I decided to leave the old drain pipe in position and drop in an accessory drain basket from the top, which can instantly be pulled out to clean the pipe. However, all the important bits and pieces are there to connect up the genuine Moen drain valve as you prefer. I chose the spot resist nickel finish, which does look nice, but will contrast with other chrome fixtures or accessories. You will need to support the faucet while tightening the single hold down nut. That will typically require lying on your back under the sink. it's usually impossible for one person to both hold the faucet and tighten the nut. Not having a helper I sawed out a softwood dowel that fit the drain tube, and clamped a cross piece to temporarily support the faucet in position. It would be much simpler to just borrow a second pair of hands for two minutes. Since I know I'll need to clean and descale the aerator screen every year, and that there are numerous insert sizes and thread pitches, I unscrewed the aerator screen and recorded the diameter and pitch, which is much easier with the faucet held upside down.

Removing the old hardware was the hard part. Once that's done installation is relatively easy! The faucets are a dream to use and behave just as expected. Neat and functional! Installation notes: Previously had a 3-hole setup. The cover plate worked fine for a regular close-set manufactured sink. The wide set (8") wide granite surface required plugs. The instruction sheet was easily understood and well illustrated, the process mercifully simple. Features Moen designed this well. Long lines hook up directly to standard plumbing to eliminate flexible supply lines and tuck away neatly behind the drain. The drain stopper eliminates side arms and is really easy to use. Bought a total of 3 replacing Pfister Ladera. - very happy with the change.

Lovely faucet. Good quality and looks very nice

Great one handle faucet . Works great and looks very elegant in my bathroom.

Solid faucet. Cleans up easily without leaving water spots. On and off lever operates very smoothly. Easy installation. Very happy with this faucet.

As expected Moen does an excellent job! A robust product with lifetime warranty faucet in the powder room is a no brainer. In particular that this one is coming with a pop up drain assembly.

Its nice but the flow is meh but its for the washroom who needs a geyser?
