We previously had this exact model faucet as a "dumb faucet". I wanted to be able to tell my voice assistance to fill my stock pot so I bought the "smart version". In comparing the two there is a noticable delay when using the handle to turn on the faucet in comparison to the "dumb version". It's not a bad delay, but it is noticeable and a slight annoyance. The other thing to be aware of is that this only comes with a battery powered version of the faucet, if you want to hardwire it you need to buy the Moen 169031 which is rather expensive for what you get. FYI to hardwire you'll need to add an outlet under your sink by using your dishwasher's line since the garbage disposal is likely on a switch such that it can't be used.Other than those issues the waive over the faucet function is very nice when your hands are messy. It's also very convenient to be able to ask your voice assistant to fill up the stock pot that would normally take a long time waiting at the sink for. This frees you up to keep cooking and not needing to check in on the pot on whether it's finished filling which is very convenient. I like it now, it just takes some getting used to in order to not use the handle to turn it on which is a bit slower than the motion.
