As brevity remains the soul of wit, here are my top two personal reasons for extolling the virtues of Motion Sense, Moen’s new innovative hands-free faucet: 1. hands laden with the juice of raw chicken; 2. the persistent efforts toward self-sufficiency of a certain young person who will shortly be of an age to procure her very own glass of water.

Moen’s Motion Sense Intuitively Stops and Starts the Flow of Water with the Simple Wave of a Hand

The faucet’s innovative reflex technology features tiny blue sensors that enable operational zones—one above the faucet and one below, thus enabling the extremely clean and exceptionally hygienic performance of “convenience on command.”

In service of the occasional ping of nostalgia, users may also choose to operate Motion Sense the old-fashioned way, by taking hold of the handle. Simple fore and aft motions stop and start the flow, as well as set the temperature, which stays at exactly the same setting for the next tall cool drink or quick scrub of the hand.

About the Manufacturer: Moen started by happenstance in 1937 when Al Moen went to wash his hands at a two-handle faucet and was almost burned by a splash of hot water. Therein, the genesis of the single-handle faucet, which revolutionized the plumbing industry. Moen manufactures kitchen and bathroom fixtures with finishes that are guaranteed to last a lifetime.
