I purchased this as part of the Gold Box Deal of the Day. Two days to my door via Prime and in less than an hour it's installed. The stainless steel finish is satin (not polished) and it matches my sink, appliances and other kitchen accents perfectly. (See customer photos).

Installation was a breeze and the instructions were simple to follow. I was replacing an existing faucet in a 1-hole configuration and this was a direct swap. All I needed to pick up from the local hardware store was some plumber's putty and two connector hoses. Be sure to have a big crescent wrench handy for tightening the various nut and connector sizes; a flashlight is also a must.

The pull down sprayer is easy to use and includes a switch to go from what I can best describe as "full" to "shower". There is also a valve on the handle to control the amount of water flow. There is a handy weight you install on the sprayer's hose (underneath the sink) that helps retract the sprayer hose back in to the faucet.

I did not install the included soap dispenser. It is however very high quality. The fixture is nice and heavy and compliments the faucet well. When I get brave enough, I'll attempt to put a hole in my LG countertops.

Highly recommended this item for the price.

This faucet and soap dispenser worked well for the first four months (received product in August 2008). In December 2008, we started noticing that, at times, the soap dispenser would not pop back up after we pushed it down for soap. During these instances, we typically have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to return to its normal position before we can use it again. Also, around the same time, the handle on the faucet started falling back down, which turns the water back on. To counteract this, we have made sure that the handle is either pointing toward us or away from us (opposed to straight up) when in the "off" position, so that it doesn't automatically slip back into the "on" position and waste water. I have not attempted to contact the company for replacement parts yet, but I feel as though these small inconveniences shouldn't be happening only four months into use!

I bought this as deal of the day and received it in about 3 days, nice. Well it is an early x-mas present to myself but I wanted to open to see if it would fit my sink, three punches for the faucet and the fourth on the side for the sprayer. It does and just like the others it is truly beautiful. It makes you want to update everything to be as pretty as the faucet and my kitchen is only 10 years old. It is a satiny finish not polished which is an added bonus for the kitchen, you can never keep polished stainless steal clean. I was looking at Home Depot for a faucet and the very cheapest I could find that came close to this model was $[...] so I gave up. This is well worth every penny.

This appeared as the Deal of the Day right after I noticed that my faucet was about to give out. I couldn't tell from the photo whether the finish was brushed, but I decided it wasn't a deal-breaker either way so I took the plunge.

The finish is not mirror-like. I'm not sure whether it is really brushed, but it seems like it is, lightly. I am quite pleased with the finish, and in general the elegant shape of the faucet.

Installation was not difficult. The one tip I can offer is that if you pull out the spray head as far as you can, it will make it easier to slip the washer and nut over the rest of the tubes.

The long U-shaped portion of the faucet turns freely in the base, so you can easily move the head from one sink to the other in a dual-sink arrangement.

The hose for the pull-out sprayer is not metallic, so I wonder whether it will eventually give out where it rubs as you pull it in and out. However, it turns out that we rarely feel the need to pull it out because the sprayer head has a very convenient 360-degree swivel joint that allows you to direct the flow of water wherever you want, and the head will stay in that position. That leaves both hands free to work with whatever it is you are trying to wash. Very nice! Between the freely turning U-shaped tube and the swivel joint, we can hit pretty much any spot in the dual sink without pulling out the sprayer head.

Another reviewer complained about the water flow being inadequate. It is just fine for me. Perhaps it's a question of water pressure?

The operation of the handle may not be immediately obvious -- you move it to the right to turn it on, and lift it up and away from you to get hot water. It works quite smoothly, but at first I found myself lifting the handle to turn it on.

So overall I'm really quite pleased, especially for the Deal-of-the-Day price, which was quite good. But my brother, who has worked as a handyman, wished that I had bought a Delta because he believes that their quality is generally much better. Time will tell. I had looked at Deltas and didn't see any that I liked as much as this one, but if in three years I'm replacing it again I will follow his advice in the future! He is, after all, my *older* brother...

UPDATE

I've had this for over 3 years now; it has been problem-free and I love it. I should point out, though, that I didn't install the soap dispenser, so my comments apply only to the faucet itself.

If I had to do it again, I think I would install it with the handle sticking out toward me instead of off to the right. That way the water on our hands when we turn off the faucet would not drip down onto the countertop, leaving a stain from our hard water. The only goofy thing about that is that the handle would go to the left for cold and up for hot. But still, to avoid those stains...

First off, I'd like to start with this is an excellent quality faucet, and much cheaper than anything found at your local "orange" or "blue" home improvement stores. Similar models are listed for 1.5x to 2x the price. Go amazon for another screaming deal.

Install was pretty typical, one tip is be careful to not pull the hose too far out during install. If you do, it is a real hassle to thread it back into the sink. Also my faucet was missing a tiny screw on the top of the handle. Another friend purchased the same faucet and had the same issue. My wife called Price Pfister (aka Black and Decker) and the agreed to ship us the tiny screw for free. I'm not sure exactly what the screw is for, but the manual clearly states it should be there. Minus 1/2 star for the hassle factor.

I have had this item for probably about a year or so now. It's a great faucet and I like the detachable head and the ease of switching between spray and stream settings. However, the included soap dispensor is a piece of junk and has never worked correctly. I actually picked up a $19 unit from Home Depot that actually works. Minus 1 star for that.

I saw this faucet on the gold box and decided to grab it quick. I was in the process of updating my kitchen and this came in very handy. I just added the Dupont Giallo Fiorito granite counter top and was looking for a faucet in Lowes and home depot everything was for $250 and up and so when I saw this I jumped ended up getting it for just about $75 with a coupon. Couldn't be happier. Great fit nice finish somewhat largese but its sleek lines make it appear slimmer until you have it in your hands.

My kitchen stepped out of the 1950's and after much remodeling; this new faucet is in place and works and looks great.
Very clean lines, easy to install.
I highly recommend it.

Great quality and workmanship. Classy product. Goes well with our new granite countertops and the undermounted sink. I was a little skeptical about the size; but it is not overly large and looks quite proportionate.

*** Update after a year ****

it has started LEAKING very badly and we had to replace it! Please AVOID buying this product and invest in a better quality product like Moen.

A great faucet. The only issue is the way the extended sprayer works is a bit difficult for using for anything other than the sink itself.
