FORIOUS FF0023C pull-down kitchen faucet review
The cheapest pull-down faucet on this shelf, and the one that publishes its install limits: 6.69 in spout height, a 1.30–1.38 in hole and a 1.5 in maximum deck.
Stream, spray and pause; 1.8 gpm; 18 in pull-down hose; 360° swivel
Overall height 14.76 in; spout height 6.69 in; mounting hole 1.30–1.38 in; maximum deck 1.5 in
10 in deck plate for 1- or 3-hole sinks; cartridge tested to 500,000+ cycles
Five-layer finish against fingerprints and spots
The install figures, all of them
A kitchen faucet goes wrong in three places: the hole, the counter and the space above. FORIOUS publishes all three. A 1.30–1.38 inch hole range, a 1.5 inch maximum deck and 14.76 inches of overall height, with 6.69 inches of spout height for the pots underneath.
Against the WEWE
The two budget faucets on this shelf are near twins on paper: 304 stainless, cUPC and NSF 61, 1.8 gpm, a pause mode. This one is about ten dollars less and documents its fit better. The WEWE gives two more inches of hose and five years of warranty instead of two.
The small inconsistency
The bullets describe a ceramic cartridge tested to 500,000 cycles; the spec table says disc valve. A ceramic disc cartridge is both, so this is a labeling difference rather than a contradiction — but it is worth noting when ordering a replacement.

The questions we get
Will it clear my window?
FORIOUS gives an overall height of 14.76 inches. Measure from the sink deck to the underside of the window frame or cabinet and keep a few inches for the handle and the spray head; the listing itself asks you to confirm sink dimensions before ordering.
How does it compare with the WEWE?
They are close: both are 304 stainless, cUPC and NSF 61, 1.8 gpm, 360° swivel, with stream, spray and pause. FORIOUS is about $10 cheaper and publishes more install limits; WEWE has two more inches of hose and five years of warranty against two.
What is the pause mode for?
It stops the water at the spray head without moving the lever, so you keep your temperature while repositioning the spray or loading a pan.
Against the closest bathroom fittings on price
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
68 in in the spec table — the whole hose, not the pull-down reach
Two: aerated stream and Power Clean rinse — stated
Not stated
14.6 in in the spec table, against an overall height of 14.56 in: an overall figure rather than a spout clearance
Where the models diverge, in bathroom fittings
If price decides: this model, at $40.
Highest Hose length in the table: Moen Adler 87233SRS pulldown faucet (68 in in the spec table — the whole hose, not the pull-down reach).
Highest Spout height in the table: Pfister Talega pull-down kitchen faucet (15.94 in in the spec table, the same figure as the overall height: a total height, not the clearance under the spout).
