 Great Faucet August 17, 2008
A great faucet. The only issue is the way the extended sprayer works is a bit difficult for using for anything other than the sink itself.
Looks nice, works well, with caveats August 16, 2008
This appeared as the Deal of the Day right after I noticed that my faucet was about to give out. I couldn't tell from the photo whether the finish was brushed, but I decided it wasn't a deal-breaker either way so I took the plunge.
The finish is not mirror-like. I'm not sure whether it is really brushed, but it seems like it is, lightly. I am quite pleased with the finish, and in general the elegant shape of the faucet.
Installation was not difficult. The one tip I can offer is that if you pull out the spray head as far as you can, it will make it easier to slip the washer and nut over the rest of the tubes.
The long U-shaped portion of the faucet turns freely in the base, so you can easily move the head from one sink to the other in a dual-sink arrangement.
The hose for the pull-out sprayer is not metallic, so I wonder whether it will eventually give out where it rubs as you pull it in and out. However, it turns out that we rarely feel the need to pull it out because the sprayer head has a very convenient 360-degree swivel joint that allows you to direct the flow of water wherever you want, and the head will stay in that position. That leaves both hands free to work with whatever it is you are trying to wash. Very nice! Between the freely turning U-shaped tube and the swivel joint, we can hit pretty much any spot in the dual sink without pulling out the sprayer head.
Another reviewer complained about the water flow being inadequate. It is just fine for me. Perhaps it's a question of water pressure?
The operation of the handle may not be immediately obvious -- you move it to the right to turn it on, and lift it up and away from you to get hot water. It works quite smoothly, but at first I found myself lifting the handle to turn it on.
So overall I'm really quite pleased, especially for the Deal-of-the-Day price, which was quite good. But my brother, who has worked as a handyman, wished that I had bought a Delta because he believes that their quality is generally much better. Time will tell. I had looked at Deltas and didn't see any that I liked as much as this one, but if in three years I'm replacing it again I will follow his advice in the future! He is, after all, my *older* brother...
 Looks and works great August 13, 2008
I had this faucet installed as well as an under counter filter system and some drainage issues repaired. I am happy with all the work done but this faucet brings a smile to my face every time I use it. The design is beautiful and the satin/brushed finish matches our appliances very well. Our previous faucet was probably pretty sweet 12 years ago but it needed replacement and this does so with style. We were also able to remove the $10 spray hose that was a terrible eye sore and made room for the under counter filter spigot. The internal hose incorporated into the neck of the faucet and head is a perfect hidden and functional replacement.
We did have a problem with the placement of faucet control. Our backsplash is somewhat short over the sink because we have a serving bar above it. The control handle was blocked from working properly by the bottom of the service bar. We opted to place the control handle to be centered on the neck of the faucet. Not only is it functional but it really looks and works great, it actually gives he whole thing a bit more modern style and works great.
Beautiful! August 12, 2008
We are in the process of a complete kitchen remodel and I purchased this at a Gold-Box Deal price. Wow what a tall, beautiful faucet. The stainless finish looks great with our new stainless sink and granite counter. It is tall, but impressive looking. Since there is only the faucet and soap dispenser, I don't mind the largeness of it. It was a pretty easy install, yet ours too is missing the tiny screw on the arm, guess I'll call Price Pfister.
Good faucet but... August 7, 2008
I have had this item for probably about a year or so now. It's a great faucet and I like the detachable head and the ease of switching between spray and stream settings. However, the included soap dispensor is a piece of junk and has never worked correctly. I actually picked up a $19 unit from Home Depot that actually works. Minus 1 star for that.
