5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Nice ~ HEAVY DUTY KITCHEN FAUCET, May 7, 2011

I was surprised how heavy and well made this faucet was when I first received it from Amazon. Even the plumber I used to install it commented as to what a nice faucet this was. He did not have any problems installing it except he did have trouble threading the flexible hose through the faucet. But with a little patience it finally went through.

Some one that is handy could probably install this without a plumber. I was going to do it myself but I was having other plumbing work done, so while the plumber was here I let him do the faucet also. Yes!! Looks like I am getting a bit lazy in my old age, but so be it.

Everything on the faucet works nice and smooth. The handle is comfortable and easy to adjust the water flow from high to low and from hot to cold. The pull out wand works well when you pull it out or push it back in, plus magnetically locks into place when it is in. The button on the wand to select full flow or sprinkle works well also.

This looks like a good price for this on Amazon, I checked around. Plus with the free shipping and no tax how can you go wrong for this quality faucet.

Check my photos under customer images on the product page, Thanx

Very happy with the product. Well built and works great. The pull of the hose has just the right resistance. The head locks back into using a magnet to keep it tight. There's a switch right on the nozzle to go between spray and stream. My wife's comment was "why didn't we do this sooner?". Install was pretty simple. Faucet is tall so make sure you have room.

We just installed this Delta faucet as part of a kitchen remodel. On full-spray it does splash some water onto the counter, but we've found that we rarely need it on full pressure - the spray at mid-power is just fine for most things. The toggle for switching to and from spray to regular stream is very easy to use. It looks beautiful and we love the magna-tite head. There is a weight on the hose (under the sink) and it takes some getting used to ....you have to use more strength to pull the hose out. Overall, a great faucet for a good price and shipped in a timely manner.
