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.

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.

I just installed this faucet yesterday, as a replacement for an old faucet (different brand/style) that had gone bad. The installation went fairly easy, really the only problem I had was that the supplied plastic socket they give you wouldn't go up over the nut, as there wasn't much room with all the tubes coming down out of the faucet - but I did eventually get it on. One of the selling points about this faucet (to me anyway) was the Magnet locking feature, and that is what slightly disappoints me. The literature says that the magnets will engage when the faucet head is in the proximity of the faucet - well, they don't seem strong enough! The faucet head sits in a cockeyed position (looks cheesy, or broken) until I monkey with it...the front of the faucet head engages the magnet, whereas the back side of it does not? I found it to be the tension on the hose that the weight applies. If I go under the sink and lightly push up on the hose, the head fully engages into the faucet stem. I hope that maybe with time and use, the hose will loosen up and the magnets will fully engage - making it look like the beautiful faucet that it is!Delta Leland 9178-SS-DST Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, Stainless

We just had this installed last week and it has helped to make our kitchen look nicer. We have black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and this faucet matches well.
The neck is higher than it looks in the picture which makes it look a litte more formal. The hose attachment snaps back easily into place. Overall, happy with the purchase.

We paid $180 for this faucet from Amazon. At Home Depot it would have cost us $240. We have been purchasing Delta for all of our remodeling (6 bathrooms in total, 2 kitchens now) and are impressed with Delta quality. This is a beautiful faucet, we got it in brushed nickel (stainless steel). You won't be disappointed.

I replaced an old Delta (non-pull down type) with this one. I love this faucet! I've always chosen Delta for all of our finish plumbing hardware and this pull down did not disappoint. There's more room to handle big pots and cookie sheets. The layout keeps water from getting into the internal faucet parts which keeps the hard water deposits from ever forming. My old Delta ended up getting encrusted and it was really unsightly. Problem solved.

Installation was a snap and took maybe two hours. I did encounter one problem. I had to make a trip to the hardware store as the old faucet used 1/2 connectors and this uses 7/16 (don't hold me to the 7/16 size since I can't remember). Not Delta's fault that I didn't check this before installation.

I should make a career out of removing old rusted out Moen faucets and putting in Delta faucets. Delta is awesome, plain and simple. It took me an hour to remove the old Moen kitchen faucet that wouldn't even pivot anymore due to rust, and it was only 6-7 years old. It took me 30 minutes to install this new Delta faucet, and it looks and performs great! Not a drip to be found in any of the connections. Anybody can install one of these they are so simple. You don't need any caulk, plumbers putty, or anything. Just a wrench to attach the included water lines to the water supply. Delta provides the wrench needed to secure the faucet to the countertop.

The faucet itself is very heavy and solid, not fake stainless like some of the kitchen faucets out there. It has very good water flow in both spray modes, and the water control handle is intuitive and operates in a very tight space in case you are backed up against a backsplash.

This is the easiest of the Delta faucets I've installed, which to this date were mostly bathroom faucets. You really can't go wrong with this faucet. For not very much effort or money it provides an excellent upgrade for any kitchen.

Ordered this from Amazon; great price and fast shipping. Received it a few days after ordering. As per other reviews, it took longer to take out the old faucet than it did to install the new.

Read the instructions before hand just to familiarize myself with the steps. The only problem was threading the hose for the faucet head down through the body or base. Called Delta and the gentleman who answered told me to push the little plastic button on the back side of the arching tube, remove the tube, push the hose through the arch first, than through the base and connect the arching tube back to the base; end of problem. I wish the instructions had said that! Other than that, hook up of the pex tubes went smoothly. Just don't overtighten the connections but be sure to check for leaks.

Per one other reviewer, the faucet does seem to get water stained but it's not noticeable when the faucet is dry. It looks good and we hope to have many years of trouble free service!

The faucet itself is beautiful, appears to be very high quality. Unfortunately the plumbing components that are included with the faucet were not of the same quality. The faucet was installed about 6 months ago with no problems. And yesterday, after a likely surge from the city water (which aren't uncommon), the hose disconnected itself from the joint and gushed water for a few hours ruining two floors of my house. I don't have a vast knowledge of plumbing components, but the plumber that came out to fix it, basically said that the connector was relying on a small plastic piece, and that the component is not reliable. If you do purchase this faucet, please be sure to upgrade your hose connection to the joint and don't rely on the parts that are included.
