Color Name:Polished Chrome|Amazon Verified Purchase
This faucet is extremely good looking with a very durable spout and handle. The sprayer hose is better quality then expected and it is very easy to replace sprayer after use without it getting hung up. The force of the water coming from spout is stronger then my old Delta and am very happy we chose this one. The Kohler quality shines brightly here. I would highly recommend.

Color Name:Polished Chrome|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a builder and remodeler, I've bought hundreds of faucets from just about every vendor out there over the years. But as time passes I find myself buying more and more products from Kohler.
I bought this particular kitchen faucet for my mother. So, I can't take any chances on a fly-by-night, here-today-gone-tomorrow brand like Pegasus or Kingston Brass or any other Chinese-made knock off brands. If this faucet craps out in a year or two--momma's gonna give me an ear full. :)
Customer service is one of the main reasons I buy Kohler products. They've been around for 100 yrs and they'll probably be around for another 100 (unless they pull a "Maytag" and start building and selling crappy products and ruin their good reputation). I've called Kohler for replacements parts for a faucet that was 10 yrs old and they sent me the parts free of charge--and even paid for the shipping. They'll spend $10 sending you a .10 part. It's smart really, because every time they do that, they build brand loyalty, which pays off over time.
Mom lives in a 1940s ranch-style house in Salt Lake City and we've been slowly trying to add back some of the vintage charm that the former owners "remodeled" right out of it. She wanted new granite counters & a new sink & faucet but instead I talked her into just replacing the sink & faucet for now to see how that felt. So, out came the cheapo stainless sink & the cheapo Home Depot faucet that some idiot installed and in went a nice, new, deep double bowl sink & this Kohler Fairfax chrome faucet that I picked up for a great price on Amazon. And, voila! The kitchen looks great and mom's 100% satisfied. She doesn't need those expensive, fancy counters anyway. She's almost 70 and she's the best cook in the county... $4000 worth of granite isn't gonna make her cobbler any tastier!
Kohler's expensive but if you shop around (and Amazon's usually very competitive) you can get a price that's comparable to a cheapo faucet from Home Depot or Lowes that you'd buy off the shelf. And there is no comparison in quality or even in style. Kohler keeps its product lines simple and classic and when the do add a new line they stick with it. So your renovation doesn't date itself so quickly. (Uh, hello, have you seen those goofy bamboo shaped faucets that some people are putting in their bathrooms these days...? How silly are those going to look in a couple of years?)
One caveat: I have noticed that--to compete on price--Kohler products that I buy at Home Depot don't always have the same quality parts (i.e. full chrome pop ups & braided steel hoses) that they used to have--or that they have when you buy them through plumbing supply houses. I understand why they are doing this--but it still annoys me. I mean, if you can't manufacture a quality faucet for $99, then don't sell $99 faucets. But, it's a dirty game out there with so much cheap stuff being manufactured overseas... Kohler's 100% American made--in Kohler, WI, so they are going to cost a bit more. But, I don't mind paying a little extra for quality & service.

All of the parts are quality and heavy-duty EXCEPT the sprayer. It feels and looks like plastic with the same finish but does work well.
