I have Kohler, Grohe and Jado faucets in my house. This faucet is a high quality faucet that has a nice commercal look to it. The price was great compared to the higher end faucets out there and it was a snap to install. I installed it in my laundry sink. When my wife saw it and tried it, she asked me to put in in the kitchen sink where I have a Grohe which cost me 3 times more. Its worth the money, these guys make a nice quality product. In my opinion this faucet would look great in a kitchen sink.

This review is from: Kraus KPF-1612 Single Lever Pull Out Kitchen Faucet, Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement)

We've been using this faucet for about 6 weeks now, and at first it worked great. There is a little rubberized "O" ring that is supposed to hold the sprayer head securely in place when it is in the holder. That ring would cause it to stick in the holder and be hard to dislodge the spray head. It was kind of annoying, so I just slid the ring down, but it wiggles slightly now, and the sprayer head tilts backwards toward the back splash (or where the back splash would be if it wasn't on an island.) This causes quite a bit of a mess when it is in spray mode. Also, when switching from spray to stream, the mechanism must get stuck, because water will sometimes still leak from the spray holes on the outside. I have to push the button several times to get it to fully switch modes. I do like the single button and the flexibility, but I'd probably go with my gut next time and get a name brand I'm familiar with.

This kitchen faucet was meant to replace an older one that started leaking through its cartridge. This time, we had a professional come install it. The plumbing company, of course, only warrants labor -- not the faucet.

After the plumber left we noticed the newly installed KPF-1612 was dripping by the handle. To Kraus's credit, they were very cooperative with us on the phone and sent us a replacement cartridge. The replacement part came with no installation instructions whatsoever. The manual with the faucet also has absolutely no guidance as to which tools does one need to repair it, or how to replace the cartridge. Kraus's customer service doesn't work on weekends, and during the week who has the time to do this -- aren't we all at work earning money so we can buy QUALITY products we don't have to fix ourselves ?

Long story short, we were able to replace the defective cartridge and the replacement appears to be holding up.

Our advice to Kraus would be this -- either provide better, more detailed manuals with your products (to the point of offering actual schematics), or have 24/7 customer service, or better yet, improve the initial quality of your products.

If this product was working as described from the moment we installed it and had I not had to fix the device myself, I would give it 5 stars. Otherwise, 2 stars.
