Delta16970-SD-DST Kate Pull-Down, 4.00 x 13.00 x 20.00 inches, Chrome

I found this faucet cheaper on Amazon than home depot but it was the worst purchase that I have ever made. There was something wrong with the handle that you need to shut it down right in the center or else it will leak even though you pull down completely but a bit the left or right, it will leak as well. Buyers be aware!!!

This is a beautiful faucet and it feels very well made. However, it is almost impossible to control the water temperature. Ask yourself this - why are you buying a kitchen faucet? Is it because you want to have a beautiful stainless steel piece above your kitchen sink? Or do you want to have a faucet that allows you to control the water flow and water temperature? This particular faucet gives good control over the flow, by raising and lowering the handle, but the water temperature is controlled by rotating the handle around its' long axis making it very hard to control. And what's worse, when you lower the handle you go back to the zero point requiring you to adjust the water again next time you use the faucet.Unfortunately for me the plumber that installed my faucet threw away the box so I can't return this thing. Don't make the same mistake I made!!! Do yourself a favor and avoid this product.

We just had it installed, looks/works great. If it lasts as many years as our last one, we are good! Note: the small round 'hot/cold marker tab' which inserts into the on/off handle is enclosed in one of the clear plastic bag packages - it is very easy to miss, so want to be sure to look for that.

Shipped fast, arrived on time, as described, all that jazz.We self installed and everything went smoothly, no complaints there. Looks beautiful. I saw another review that stated it was difficult to find the right temperature. I have not experienced this problem. Material seems nice, good quality. I was upset that the spray head seemed to not retract on it's own but after a few uses it loosened up and retracts very nicely now. The spray stream is strong and steady. If you turn off the water on the spray setting, when you turn it on again it stays on the spray setting. My last faucet did not do that. I remain neutral on this, not a bad feature, not really a good one either. Depends on personal preference I guess.Summary: I would recommend this faucet. Quality materials, easy installation, works well, feels nice. What more could you ask for?

I really like this faucet! I've long been wanting a pull-out kitchen faucet with the sprayer to replace our three hole traditional faucet. It works well. The hardest part was getting our old two handled faucet off! I took it slowly, reading and rereading the instructions. The instructions are a little ambiguous at points, so proceed carefully, but all went well and it went together perefectly with careful attention. I am not a good DIYer, so I was pleased I did it without a plumber! Some of the points in the reviews are correct ... the soap dispenser is all plastic but well-made. The Hot/Cold ratio is a bit touchy, due to an easily movable handle with a more narrow range, but it is not a problem for us, as we do not keep our Hot at an unsafe level (there is a safety feature/button in the handle which can limit the Hot and Cold extremes, which I left on Off). We quickly got used to adjusting the Hot and Cold according to need. It is well made. It is a little noisier than our old one, I suppose because the water is traveling through the flexible extension hose and it also has a weight underneath which causes it to retract when turned off.

Looks great, installs easily, love the pull-down spray. That's the good. The bad is significant: The handle has a *very* narrow range between hot and cold, so I spend way too much time trying to find that tiny little Goldilocks spot while washing dishes -- hot enough to wash dishes, but not scalding. I'm serious about the scalding. It's just way, way too narrow a range between hot and cold. The other problem is that it wants to drip. What I've finally figured out is that if you turn off the water when the handle is on the hot side of center, it usually drips. When you close it from the cold side, it usually doesn't drip. That sounds nuts, I realize, but that's how it behaves. After living with it for a year and change, fighting drips and worrying about scalding, I'm going to go looking for a replacement. And I'm a cheapskate, so that's saying something.

I am totally in love! I am so happy to have found this on Amazon. Everywhere I looked for a faucet only had those with the handle on the side of the faucet which I was never really a fan of since water will drip off my hands to land behind the faucet when I turn off the water or adjust the temperature, which I will then have to wipe dry. So annoying especially with three boys doing the same thing and not caring how wet it got since they're too much in a rush to keep it dry back there. But then I found this and my life has been almost completely free of water on the counter behind the sink. And it's just easier to use in my opinion. Some people have commented on how the soap dispenser is short and squat but I like it. It feels solid and sturdy and matches the rest of the set. The only thing I can find that I don't like so much is that it's hard to find the right water temperature sometimes. Like if I want it on warm, it'll be either too cold or too hot and if I adjust the handle even the tiniest bit, the temperature will go to the other extreme. A little hard to adjust to desired temperature but on the plus side, there is a switch inside the handle that will only allow the water to be either warm or cold and never hot. Good for young children. The water pressure is great as well. I have an 8 inch deep sink and it doesn't hit the sink as hard and splash as much as my old american standard did. I thought it was just my water pressure until I changed out the faucet and this one wasn't like the other one. The water comes out softer. And the faucet head stays seated unlike my other one. Definitely much better all around. I love this thing. I hope Delta continues to make it because if I ever need another, this is the only one I'll get.

The fitting came apart (doesn't screw together) and so we had a leak and ruined our floors. And there is no solid centre-off, you just kinda have to play with it. More often than not, it leaks. And now it's making a rubbing sound whenever we turn it on. It's only three months old.

hard to close ( always dripping), no water pressure(to much of water reduction) no water volume take an eternity to fill sink to make dishes of fil a bowl for cooking pasta... Soap dispenser have a to small hole to be fill easily by the head of it. It is not a well made DELTA product.

Buyers Please beware of what you buy of each kitchen sinks off Amazon.Will never buy off any kitchen sinks off Amazon again since this is a complete rip off of paying $270 for this without each parts that aren't packed and goes missing since AMAZON REFUSES FOR REFUND.I RECOMMEND BUYING THE KITCHEN FAUCET SINKS FROM SOME OTHER LOCAL HARDWARE STORES

I had this faucet before and could not find another one locally. Amazon to the rescue!! The plumber put it in no problem, and it works great. I love the soap dispenser and sprayer.

I was surprisingly happy to see how easy this was to install as compared to the old one (2002) removed. Looks and feels great very happy with this purchase.
