So if plan in replacement look at flow rate if you have to wait for hot water.

If I'm not mistaken there is a federal regulation for faucet flow rates. I have typically bought Moen faucets in the past because you can easily remove the restrictor without hacking the faucet (in case you gotta return it for some reason).
