I've installed a few faucets in my time, and this one was simply the easiest to do so! The look and simplicity of the design are second to none, and the locking MagnaTite pull-down faucet is very secure and easy to pull down, re-connect, and maneuver with plenty of length. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a new faucet to replace their current one with. Note, the price on this one was over $100 less than Home Depot as well.Just a couple points of constructive criticism and by no means a deal-breaker... Make sure to double-check the distance and placement for your hot and cold water supplies in relation to which pre-drilled hole in your counter top you intend to insert the control valve in.. One of mine was just in reach, but since the supply lines to the faucet are hard plastic, they don't have as much give and flexibility if you try to stretch these too far or connect at less than a 90 degree angle. The supply tubes look to be about 36" in length from the stem of the control valve underneath the sink to the supply connection. Should be more than ample enough for most installations. More flexible braided supply hoses might have been a better choice for those trickier installations, but I am sure this isn't a problem for most.Second, the warm water from this unit (full 90 degree up-right position of the handle) was a bit too hot. The installation instructions reference a switch in the control valve to help avoid hot water scalding, but it is really just a 'limiter' in that it will not allow you to fully open the hot water side. When the little orange switch on the top of the valve is moved to the right position (not default) the faucet handle can only be turned up in a 90 degree position for warm water, or about 45 degrees to the right for cold. If you need hot water for those occasions when cleaning off dishes, you will likely need to break out a scrubber instead. A better solution may be to leave the switch in the default position, and control the amount of hot water coming from the supply line by closing off the valve little by little until you get to a comfortable temperature in the warm water position.All in all, a great faucet and I would highly recommend it for it's simplicity of installation, elegant and sturdy design, and ease of operation..

So far so good, it’s been in for a month and no issues.

Beautiful faucet. Works great and looks and feels like a high end faucet.This replaced a 15 year old Delta faucet that eventually wasn't worth repairing.Installing this is NOT hard if you are reasonably handy. You need no special tools. A screwdriver, a hex wrench and a weird little wrench for one nut, which is included.The instructions are a case study in how to convey information with as few words and images as possible. However, they are entirely complete with no more or less than is needed. The images are very small. I suggest that you download the instructions as a PDF, and look at them on a full size monitor. If you "get it", proceed, if you don't, call a plumber.Also, be sure that you can physically reach the area under the sink AND you can remove the old faucet! BEWARE that older faucets sometimes require special tools to turn the mounting nuts and they might be rusted in place.Pro tip: turn off the hot and cold shut off valves before removing the old faucet and make sure they completely shut off the water by watching if your old faucet drips with the valves closed. Old valves sometimes won't close completely. You must know this before removing the old faucet.

Replaced old faucet. The sprayer was a nice upgrade to older simple spout and the installation was so easy and ended with no leaks. If you can follow directions, no need for plumber or special tools. Love this faucet set. No need to hand soap dispenser so a extra part that should be shown as option but still great product.

I used to work at a plumbing wholesaler and had one of the original pull-down touch faucets that Delta made. It lasted I am guessing about 18 years. I think Delta is a well-made product. So many faucets are pretty on the outside but just plastic on the inside. (You can usually tell by the weight of the product)It is also difficult to find a pulldown that does not look country (my house is more contemporary/mid- modern). This has a nice little flair giving it some style so I think it could work in just about any design. It also has some weight to it, so it feels expensive. The soap dispenser has a larger/wide hole so if your soap is on the thicker side like mine, it comes out easily.

Product arrived on time and was exactly as described. This was a great deal on a quality Delta product. Completed the installation myself, can’t say it was a pleasant experience but I’m also a novice, so take it for what it’s worth. Works great and no more complaints about the old dripping faucet.
