A fusion of sleek design and workhorse functionality, the KOHLER Sensate kitchen faucet’s touchless technology delivers intuitive use and premium performance
A family comes in contact with its kitchen’s faucet countless times a day, tackling tasks that often leave hands messy and full—even both. Now, Kohler simplifies and streamlines time spent in the kitchen with Sensate, its new touchless kitchen faucet.
To equip the Sensate faucet with superior touchless functionality, Kohler developed Response™, technology with a state-of-the-art sensor to respond in 20 milliseconds for consistent and reliable on/off operation. But what sets Sensate apart from the rest is its truly touchless and intuitive use—no bare-skin taps or awkward waving necessary. And with an activation area strategically placed on the underside of the spout, use is precise and natural; simply wave your hand, cup, pan or kitchen utensil through the activation area to start or halt waterflow.
“The Sensate faucet brings a new level of convenience to the kitchen,” says Sarah Fitzsimmons, product manager for Kohler faucets. “It allows you to flow through tasks—even the dirty ones—without pausing to turn the faucet handle on and off, and without worrying about spreading the mess and germs to the rest of the kitchen.”
When it came to the faucet’s design, function drove its form while high-end kitchen utensils and appliances served as inspiration. “We wanted the design to be clean and honest, a shape that conveys control and reliability,” Fitzsimmons says. And since the sensor drastically reduces handle interaction, it serves more as a setting control that is smaller in scale, allowing the user to easily tweak the water temperature and flow when transitioning to new tasks, all while looking natural in all positions. Sensate’s signature aesthetic element is the black bonnet—an unexpected touch that adds a subtle detail to its design. A finish-matched bonnet is also available to match the available finishes of Polished Chrome and Vibrant Stainless.
The KOHLER Sensate Touchless Kitchen Faucet features the following:
-
Response Technology utilizes a state-of-the-art sensor to respond in 20 milliseconds for consistent and reliable on/off operation -
DockNetik™, a magnetic docking system in the faucet’s spout, securely locks the sprayhead into place -

“As a company that prides itself in creating products at the forefront of technology and design, we’re thrilled to introduce Sensate,” Fitzsimmons says. “Its superior technology makes for superior functionality, and its sleek, transitional form makes it a natural fit in today’s kitchen, whether it’s modern or traditional in décor.”
