What can I say? I love my new faucet. I replaced a 20 year old Grohe with this Delta. I like the way the head turns from stream to spray and you don't have to be bothered with a separate sprayer. My sink has only four holes and one is taken up by a hot water maker. I am a novice do-it-yourselfer housewife. I had absolutely no trouble installing this faucet. The step by step directions were clear and all you need is a good pair of plyers and some wrenches. The faucet is solid and I like the fact that there is a magnet in the faucet head that snaps it back into place every time and holds it securely. No drooping faucet in few years. The way the head pulls out is also handy for filling things outside the sink. I have a coffee maker that I used to have to pour water into the well. Now I don't have to move it and can fill it up with no spills on the counter top. I also love the brushed finish. Goes perfectly with my new stainless steel appliances. If you buy this faucet you will not be sorry.

I purchased this faucet for several reasons: the patented magnetic coupler on the spray head, the ceramic valve for a trouble-free long life and the pleasing aesthetic design of the faucet, valve and soap dispenser. I'm an engineer by profession and appreciate well designed and engineered products... and this is one of them. I installed this faucet along with a new deep-basin stainless steel sink and was very impressed with the quality and selection of included components... there was no need to purchase any additional hoses or fittings to complete the job.

This faucet was a very nice compliment to the stainless sink and the subtle "teardrop" design works well in our kitchen which is a mixture of traditional and contemporary design... we've received many admiring comments about the combination's great look in our kitchen. The unit is solidly constructed; and functionally, the spray head's magnetic coupler works very well, the toggle in the spray head for switching to either "spray" or "stream" is simple to use and the water control valve is very easy to adjust and meter water accordingly. The flow from the faucet is extremely good and the "stream" pattern is much better than the former sink-top spray head pattern and flow.

Based on this and a previous experience, I will trust Delta products for their design and quality in the future and couldn't be more pleased with the purchase from Amazon.

I've owned this faucet over a month now and it is fantastic. It looks great with my stainless steel appliances and the pull down spout is genius. It's wonderful for filling large pots that stand tall. The neck turns a full 360 degrees which makes it easy to maneuver baking pans, stock pots, and any other awkward dish or pot you may have to hand wash or rinse. It was pretty easy to install and the end result looks amazing. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Initial interest was in the Delta touch control feature faucet, but decided this would be the best buy for ease of use and less technical problems. The pull-out nozzle works very well and retracts back for a perfect fit. The volume of water at the nozzle is better than average flow and the lever control moves with just a light touch. If you follow manufacturer directions, this unit is easy to install and works great. It is the perfect decorative accent to any kitchen. I would highly recommend this unit as a replacement or new install.

We looked over various faucets while researching a new kitchen faucet. We went to Lowe's, Home Depot and the local plumbing showcase store (boy, did they have some nice ones there!), and in various catalogs. We then looked on Amazon and settled on the Delta Leland with pull down. We opted out of getting the Touch technology because of our cats (afraid they might turn the water on accidentally while we're gone). We couldn't be more pleased. It's a very nice looking faucet. Works great and was easy for my husband to install (about 45 minutes). Wouldn't hesitate at this point to recommend this faucet. The two streams it offers are helpful as well & it swivels just right. We wondered about getting a one handle hot/cold, but found that we really like this feature more than we thought it would. The soap dispenser is angled great for our sink. We have a 4 hole sink, so after filling the 3 holes with the faucet, handle and dispenser, we bought a $5 sink hole cover and that works fine on the 4th hole.

Love this faucet!

First off - If Amazon allowed half stars, I would give this 4.5 stars.

I purchased the Delta Leland faucet for a kitchen remodel. The faucet itself is simple and elegant. The head swivels very easily and the magnetic lock for the pull-out spray is very convenient. The two modes of spray are very easy to use with a switch on the back of the faucet head. The standard mode works very well, though I found that when switched into spray mode, there was a lot of water spatter. Not sure if this is due to the water pressure at our house, or the design of the spray distribution.

The separate handle is very nice and easy to use though the little push-in colored button that shows which direction is hot versus cold, fell off and disappeared down our drain less than a week after the install.

The soap dispenser is a little bit lower than I was expecting when installed - there is little clearance between the pump and your hand - but it is still perfectly functional.

Overall installation was fairly simple (neither my fiance nor I have much plumbing experience)and the design fit our needs. Aside from the low clearance soap dispenser and the hot/cold button falling out, this product is great at a very affordable price. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

It took over 2.5 hours and a Sawzall to remove the 10-year-old Moen faucet and only 30 minutes to completely install the new Delta Faucet.

Any questions?

It was a gift and I've gotten nothing but postive feedback since the installation.

great product, never installed a faucet before. This replaced the cheap faucet that came w/the house. Easy instructions, only hang-up was trying to match which o-ring matched with which fixture. My wife and I are very happy with this faucet and saved about $100 rather than buying from home depot.

We just replaced our kitchen faucet with this one and it's a fantastic faucet. It shuts off completely and quickly, the action of the handle and faucet is smooth and requires very little force. The pull out head is a very nice feature and it's great that it eliminates the need for a separate spray head. We love Delta the company, I have bought many of their faucets and if I had a problem they were always quick to resolve it. It's the only company that I know of that does not question when you bought the product or for that matter do not even ask for proof that you have it. When I contact customer support I have always gotten a real person where English is their first language - that's saying something today. I would highly recommend this product or any Delta faucet - they really stand behind their products.

Amazon's response to my order for this faucet was as expected, very professional. The faucet is of high caliber and very practical. I could have installed it myself but I have a very good handy man that I trust to do a good job. He installed it very quickly and without any problems.
So far I found these problems. The instructions as usual, covered more than the faucet model I purchased. The spray head does scatter water around the sink but not too much if I keep the flow reduced. The spray head is somewhat difficult to manipulate because of the stiffness of the "flexible" tubing. Overall, the faucet is really a joy to use compared to the faucet that it replaced. I am very satisfied with it.
