We had a Moen touchless faucet at our old house - couple hundred dollars in 2015, when we re-did the kitchen. (Looks like it’s gone up in price, or you’ll need to shop around for a deal now).
Visiting family were often perplexed (you can just use it like a regular faucet too- just use the handle, if you want, I said, which is true). It took some learning - you had to have the faucet pointed at you to work, but once we learned, I really liked it.
Now in our new (old) house, I find myself just putting my hands under the faucet to wash them, and being irritated when the water doesn’t go on.
PS- BTW, while Moen is not thought of as a top-end vendor, they are really, really good at support - like, call them, say I’ve got a 25-year-old Moen bath faucet, don’t know what model, and the handle broke, and they’ll say Send us a photo of the faucet, we’ll figure it out, and we’ll send you a new handle for the cost of shipping.
PPS - no batteries - power supply underneath the sink, plugged into the outlet that most folks have for disposals, dishwashers, and the like.
