Not enough force to create nice soapy, foamy head from my Palmolive dish detergent. I still do dishes the old fashioned way, by hand in the kitchen sink. Yesterday morning with the old faucet, mountains of foam. Then the new Moen was installed. Yesterday PM after the plumber left, flat dishwater. The lack of force is so obvious; takes twice as long to fill the basin.
There is likely a flow restrictor above the anti-splash aerator. Unscrew the aerator and set it aside, replacing just the aerator and screen.
The new high head kitchen faucets with the sprayer head integral to the faucet do seem to be using smaller diameter piping, which makes the sink fill slower, but the convenience of that spray head more than makes up for it. I can clean pots that I used to have to drag to the utility sink to clean.
Have the same problem new faucet bad delivery.Really noticed filling my 1/2 gal water jug for work took forever.Kinda stupid I need the same amount of water but it takes longer.Wastes time saves nothing.

Do I thank the eco-warriors for this situation?
Someday your grandkids may thank the "eco-warriors," but, in the meantime, here is a video on a person that had the same issue with a Moen faucet and how he addressed it. I suggest reading the comments, also, regarding some cons of removing the reducer and where it is on some other models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZF31-WO5Eg

Do you have the sprayer head? We just bought a new faucet and kitchen sink. There is plenty of force if using the sprayer.
I have a brand new faucet, and it certainly doesn’t behave the way you are describing. I suggest you call your plumber.
He came today to put in a new bath tub faucet and said that all the kitchen faucets are designed this way.

Amen.
We have so many technological improvements today like the big, clear TV screens and phones that do everything but cook dinner, while at the same time the wackoes are forcing us into the 19th century.

Yes, but the sprayer doesn't help the situation.
Thanx for responding, guys.
