Side-to-side diverter buttons let you switch seamlessly between aerated stream and spray, ensuring that you get the right water flow for the job. The insulated wand stays cool even when you're working with very hot water.
Diamond Seal for Safe, Leak-Free Performance
The Allora's valve features Diamond Seal technology, Delta's revolutionary water delivery system. An internal contact surface made up of tiny diamonds makes the valve leak free and extraordinarily durable. It also prevents water from coming into contact with harmful metal contaminants.

Handles are turned on and off 500,000 times to ensure leak-proof performance for years.

Love this new faucet. Sleek and stylish. Magnetic seating of spray head is great. No more fumbling to reseat the spray head after use and it stays in place. Switching from spray to stream is easy with the large toggle-style button on the spray head.
Only one minor complaint is the faucet handle has a specific position that it must be in for the faucet to be completely off. (Or so it seems to me. Others in our household think I'm too fussy.) To be totally off, the handle must be pushed all the way up and in the center of its path of travel. If you're off a bit the faucet will drip a bit. Not a big deal but if you're rushing around the kitchen and hurriedly push the handle to the off position and don't get it exactly in the right spot you'll have a tiny drip. It's easily solved by just giving the handle a little nudge, so in no way is this a show stopper; it's just a minor thing to get used to. I guess I was spoiled by our old faucet, which was less fussy about this point, but was far more fussy about the spray head not staying in place, and switching from spray to stream could be a hassle due to the tiny buttons on the spray head.
Installation was easy and straight forward. The faucet comes with water supply lines already attached; no supply lines to buy separately. You just mount the faucet to the counter top and attach the supply lines. If you're mounting to solid surface counter tops it comes with everything needed. If you're mounting to laminate counter tops with a thin substrate, such as plywood, etc., you may need to order a "thin deck mounting aid" that's described in the instructions.
The instructions are fairly well written with several illustrations. There were a few extra items in the parts bag that weren't referenced in the instructions -- an extra washer that looks like it would go between the faucet and the counter top (there was already another washer on the faucet assembly) plus a few plastic pieces that I couldn't figure out what they were for. I put these items away for "safe keeping", which means I've now hidden them from myself. :-)
The hose that connects the spray head to the faucet assembly has a snap-fit connector instead of a screw-fit. This makes installation really easy. (Dare I say it? Installation is a snap!) No fumbling around on your back under the sink fighting with hose fittings and wrenches. There's a plastic clip that snaps over the snap-fit connector to hold the fitting together. Initially, I didn't realize what this clip did. In looking at the instructions, I thought the clip was used to limit the travel of the hose when you pulled down on the spray head, so I just picked an arbitrary spot on the hose and snapped on the clip. So . . . the first time I turned on the water the snap-fitting popped loose spraying water under the sink. I felt pretty stupid that I hadn't realized what the clip was for, but I immediately saw my mistake! I mopped up the mess, snapped the fitting back together and then snapped the clip over the fitting. Problem solved! I think the instructions could be a bit more clear on the purpose of this clip.
Overall, the installation was easy and the faucet is great. We are very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend it.
March 2011 addition to above review -- Regarding the complaint about the handle having to be in a certain position to completely shut off the faucet -- I (finally) called Delta support and they sent me a replacement valve cartridge at no charge. I swapped out the cartridge -- took me 15 minutes, tops -- and now it works like a charm. No more drips! I'm a happy camper!! I highly recommend this faucet.

Color Name:Stainless
The faucet started to leak after the first year. We replaced parts of the valve but it continues to leak. It seems the entire valve assembly might need replacement. I will replace this facuet with one that has ceramic cartridges. This faucet uses very old technology and it is not worth its very high cost.

We bought this faucet to replace a similarly-designed Hansgrohe that started leaking. When we pulled this Delta out of the box, there was no magnet in the stationary portion of the faucet to match up with the magnet in the pull-down head. (I immediately checked the box to see if it was made in China, but learned it is assembled in the U.S.!) We called Delta, and they shipped a replacement part for the stationary portion of the faucet. We have been using this Delta faucet for several weeks now and LOVE it! It looks nice, the pull-down head goes back into place very easily AND STAYS THERE (which our Hansgrohe did NOT do on a consistent basis; it seemed that I had to put it back up in place at least once a day), it seems to have more water pressure than the Hansgrohe (which doesn't make sense, but my husband agrees that the water seems to come out with more pressure). My favorite feature (after the magnets that hold the head in place) is the spray feature. This faucet has a button on the head - push the top end of the button, and you have spray continuously until you push the bottom end of the button (and then it returns to regular water flow). This is SO handy! My Hansgrohe would only be in spray mode as long as you were pressing in the spray button. Now I can use BOTH hands to rinse strawberries under the spray. My husband I are both very happy with this faucet. I would have rated it 5 stars were it not for the fact that I had to call for a replacement part due to the missing magnet. (And it doesn't leak!!)
