I bought this to replace a faucet that broke off at the connection. I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to install by myself. The directions, to be honest, arent written the best, and are a little non sequential. However, the job itself was simple enough that it was easy to figure out. The faucet looks great, I love the sprayer head, and it seems like good quality. The only slight complaint is not great instructions.

I am not a plumber. I installed this faucet, replacing our very basic builder quality one, with no problems at all. Directions are pretty clear but it's not complicated. Hardest part was removing our old one and getting my hands up in the cramped spaces. It's a nice looking faucet and works great. I love the 3 different sprays it can deliver. A nice upgrade at an affordable price. No plumber needed for basic install.

This is a beautiful faucet and it worked well for three years. Now the faucet head is clogged. I barely get any pressure. I soaked it in vinegar as the manufacturer suggested, but it still just a trickle. There is good pressure going to the thing.Finally found a YouTube video that shows how to clean the screens. It worked and I think the pressure is even better than when first installed.

Very nice faucet. The sprayer is comfortable and easy to operate, and it swings smoothly.Installation was a snap and included the tool needed to tighten the faucet to the sink.The unit includes both a 3-hole base to blank off the right and left holes, and a trim ring for single-hole mounting. We installed the garbage disposal air switch on the right under the handle and a soap dispenser on the left.Things to watch for....Other reviews talk about the sensitivity of the temperature adjustment. This is true. This unit is not like other Delta products that you may be used to where the lever is on top and has a nearly 90 degree swing from full hot to full cold. This one swings only about 45 degrees, maybe less, so getting a "warm" temp adjustment may be tedious. There is an internal adjustment that allows you to limit the amount of hot in the mix to help avoid scalding, and using this will certainly help to make the lever adjustment more forgiving, but at the expense of having full-hot from the faucet.We installed ours with a water filter on the cold side, since I don't have a 5th hole to allow for a separate spout. The filter is advertised as 2gpm, and this faucet is rated at 1.6gpm, so I figured it would be OK, and for the most part, it is, but the "splash-free" sprayer option apparently requires a bit more pressure. It does "balloon", but not very much and it actually tends to splash a bit more. It works fine when using hot water (full pressure), so this is not a fault of the faucet itself. When we remodel the kitchen, we'll use a 5-hole sink and add a separate spout for filtered water.

After looking at many stores for a faucet, I found this one and fell in love. It’s gorgeous and I love it so much. My husband was able to install it alone and it looks and work great!

I really like how this faucet works. It is high enough to allow large pots in the sink without bumping into the faucet. It also swivels 360* so you can get it completely out of the way if needed. It has two spray features and one solid stream. The magnetic docking faucet head firmly puts the faucet away and holds very securely. I am a pretty good handyman and have always done my own work, so for me at least, the faucet installed very easily. The only slightly bad item, was that after had the faucet completely installed, I found a very small blemish in the finish on the top of the curved part of the faucet. A very small pit, if you will, that looks like it didn't get completely coated with the finishing material. So, carefully examine the faucet before you install it. I am not going to uninstall it at this point as it is really not noticeable unless you know where to look. I've been using this for several weeks and just love it.

I got the faucet with shield spray in spot proof stainless. I was ok with the faucet, but not amazed. About a month after starting to use it, the valve started having difficulty turning off. There was just one little spot that would stop the water. The sprayer head was also having issues with switching between spray and stream. I was not impressed so I called them. I had registered the faucet earlier on their website. I highly suggest you do that btw. I told them of the issues and they immediately began the process to send me replacement parts. I requested a normal sprayer head instead of the spray shield one since the features didn't seem to work like I preferred. They agreed to do so. I didn't have to send a picture of the receipt or original box or anything like that. To keep all the details somewhere I can find them in ten years is a total hassle in my opinion. I got the new parts, installed them, and now the faucet is working perfectly. It has continued to work with no issues for several months now. I had an American Standard faucet before and because I didn't keep the receipt for several years, they did not honor the warranty for it. Totally different situation here. I have all delta water fixtures in my house. I am very glad of that!

This faucet is beautiful! I got the Spotshield Stainless finish, which is pretty good at hiding water spots. Installation was pretty easy. I did it myself but a helper would be advisable to hold it in position while you tighten the screws. Water hookup was trivial but I think if you have an older house your experience might be different. I have a 2003 house so all I had to do was screw on the fittings. Also, if your valves are within a foot or so of the faucet you will need to have room to loop the hoses since they are quite long. You can also cut the hoses but that seemed a little scary to me. The faucet operates as advertised. The spray has two groups of jets which is kind of strange but not a problem. I'm not very impressed with the ShieldSpray, though. You have to hold onto the nozzle and hold the plate pretty close to it. It just seems clumsy. The magnets holding the nozzle give it a nice solid feel that it is properly retracted. All in all, I love it.
