Beautiful and functional

Beautiful and well-designed faucet with forward-looking features. The faucet is a modern arched faucet, like many of the designer models today, but it isn't quite as abrupt a curve as some I've seen, which actually makes it more functional. The pull-out portion doesn't go straight down, but instead slightly out, which makes sense if you're trying to reach corners of your sink. The design is also more fluid, in my opinion, than some of the bulkier designs that have somewhat abrupt angles and prominent spray heads, like the Delta Leland 9178-SS-DST Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, Stainless, which I also considered. The faucet has a standard flow of 1.5 gallons per minutes, which is technically considered water-saving, but has an override button to provide the more-standard 2gpm. It also has a button for spray, which stays on even after you've shut the water off, in case that's your preferred flow type. Another nice feature of this spray head is that it magnetically attaches, which allows for easy remounting, but also means you can tip it slightly without fully removing the head, again allowing for reaching the corners of your sink easily. The entire faucet also pivots left to right effortlessly, which is great in my case, although if you have a pet or child nearby, they might easily knock it off center while it's running.

I was a little concerned that the faucet would be too massive for my sink, which faces into my living room, rather than being up against a wall. I think it is a bit big, and could probably stand to be scaled down to about 7/8 the size, but this larger style seems to be the trend these days.

As for installation, I handled this myself, with the help of a friend. The trickiest part was taking out the old faucet, which had a different attachment method. Also, because the water lines on this Delta model are fairly stiff, it took a bit of finesse under the cabinet to get them around the faucet's own mounting bracket and then onto the shut-off valves. This faucet is designed to function without additional leads from the valves, which eliminates an additional part, a pro in my book (and apparently uncommon among today's faucets for some reason). The only problem I had is that the mounting bracket does not pull on the faucet straight down, but slightly to the side, since the water lines are in the middle. This caused my faucet to lean slightly, meaning it's not entirely flush with the countertop. I removed it and installed it a second time, thinking it was user-error, but I just couldn't get it to tighten down completely straight.

I should also note that the pullout water line that loops under your cabinet can easily get caught on the shut-off valves, so I had to tie it off to one side. A minor, easy to fix issue. One last item might be the instructions, which were a bit confusing because they cover multiple models and multiple configurations. I missed the first step because it looked like it only applied to using the 3-hole mount, but in fact it applied to the single-hole configuration as well.
