The Albany Gazette - Brondell Selected as a Good Housekeeping 2027 Kitchen Awards Winner

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2026 / Leveraging Brondell's proprietary Nebia® nozzle technology, the Jema Single-Handle Touchless Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet is designed to meet the needs of modern kitchens. Jema delivers the cleaning power needed for everyday kitchen tasks, from rinsing delicate produce to removing stubborn residue from dirty dishes.

Jema's four unique spray modes deliver industry-leading performance. RapidRinse™ and GentleClean™ sprays are powered by patented Nebia nozzle technology, offering an efficient flow rate of just 0.8 gallons per minute.

• RapidRinse: Powerful spray removes food residue with up to 65% more efficiency.
• GentleClean: Fine, gentle spray rinses soft produce up to two times faster with up to 73% more efficiency.
• Aerated Stream: Standard spray flows at 1.5 gallons per minute, perfect for pot filling and rinsing.
• Pause Mode: Stops water flow with the touch of a button, saving water and preventing messes while the sprayhead is in use.

Jema combines everyday convenience with a modern, high-arch design that complements any kitchen. Its EnduraCore™ cartridge is engineered for lasting durability, rated three times the industry standard at 1.5 million uses. Built-in features like AutoWave™ Touchless Technology, GlideBack™ Hose Retraction System, and a 360° swivel neck help streamline kitchen tasks, while the Accelerate™ Installation System features quick-connect, tool-free components for easy, DIY installation. Jema is available in three finishes: SpotClean™ Stainless Steel, Polished Chrome with environmentally friendly Chrome 3 plating, and Matte Black.

The Good Housekeeping Institute's kitchen and food experts-including appliance analysts, trained cooks, recipe developers, and nutritionists-spent months testing a wide range of new and best-selling products designed to make kitchen life easier. They evaluated countertop, built-in, and outdoor appliances; cooking tools; cookware; and more, as well as foods for your fridge, freezer, and pantry. Analysts assessed products in the GH Labs and test kitchens, and they also sent samples to more than 640 consumer testers to use in their own kitchens. The winners were selected based on quality, performance, value, usefulness, and-where applicable-taste.
