Delta Faucet Leland Single-Handle Touch Kitchen Faucet - Perfect for Your Kitchen Sink!

John Bliss: My old faucet had really slowed down, and I was told I needed a new faucet. I like the gooseneck design, but my cabinets don't allow for a higher spigot. This one really fit the bill. The pressure is great, and it's easy to manipulate. I don't know how easy it was to install, because I hired plumbers, but they were in and out in less than an hour. I was glad to see that it's flexible enough that you can place the on/off arm wherever you want. The hose is long enough than I can fill a bucket sitting on the floor. Yes, you do need to retract the hose manually, so if that's a problem for you, look elsewhere. The magnet connection is strong.

I got the standard model without a soap dispenser. I did some research before buying, and it seems like the "touch" models are more trouble than they're worth. I don't want to have to replace the BATTERY for a faucet! I can turn it on and off on my own.

Samson Wick: It has been nearly four years since I purchased this faucet and after my recent interaction with Delta customer support, I felt I had to leave a review for it to explain why you should not hesitate to buy this faucet.

I won't spend a lot of time getting into features that you can read about on the product page. The flow handle works smoothly and the RED->BLUE temperature indicator is very helpful for avoiding unpleasant surprises. The touch control works as expected (with a couple of exceptions I'll detail below). So far it works as well as it did the day I bought it.

Due to some previous issues with my plumbing I elected to hire a professional plumber to come and install it for me so I can't say if it's easy to install. However I can say that the plumber was done in about 15 minutes and looked at me like I had wasted his time on something so simple, so there's that:)

When I installed this, the plumber predicted that the electrical valve would succumb to calcification and stop working in about 9 months. Four years later I haven't lost any water pressure and I'm still using the original valve.

I've had two interactions with Delta customer support for...

Molly: First, for context: I am not a plumber; before this product, I had never installed a faucet before (kitchen or otherwise); and no one would ever mistake me for having any kind of experience that would qualify me as anything other than a total and complete novice at installing faucets. That said, for the reasons below, I would recommend this faucet AND recommend a DIY installation.

I did a LOT of research and reading reviews before purchasing this Delta faucet (SpotShield Stainless). Our old kitchen sink faucet was another well-known and expensive brand (starts with "M"), but after just four years it kept coming loose from the countertop and then started leaking profusely. I was determined not to repeat that with a new faucet. I was a little hesitant about getting a "touch" faucet given the wide range of reviews on point, but after digging into things, I decided to go with this Delta "touch" faucet. A month into using it, here are my thoughts on the DIY installation and product itself:

1. DECIDING TO DO A DIY INSTALLATION
I decided to install the faucet myself for several reasons. Nothing against plumbers, but some reviewers suggested that installing this faucet...

Bamazon: There are 3 spray features: regular, multi.stream spray and the single jet spray with a water force field around it. Love that last feature for getting rid of those stuck on food pieces or dried gravy.
Keep in mind what ever setting you leave the spray on is what will come on next time to best to always switch back to regular. So many times I left it on spray and made water mess.
I love love this faucet with the pull out hose, soooo soooo easy to clean the sink or to fill my water filtering pitcher or to fill a pot on the counter.
I had a family friend install this so I wouldn’t know anything much about installing. But you can try to ask I’ll try my best.
It’s easy to clean and just looks beautiful.
I highly recommend it!

Oberon Robinson: As a professional home renovator, I have installed and used many different faucets over the years, and this is my favorite out of all that I've tried. I used to consider Delta a budget brand but this is a very high quality unit. I've had it in my own kitchen for over 2 years and have not had any of the issues that other reviewers have mentioned. I find it superbly well designed, the water control is easy and intuitive, the magnetic catch for the pulldown is a great feature, and the stream/spray switch is positive and stays where you leave it when you turn the water off and on again. Any faucet will have the occasional manufacturing defect, and if you are unlucky enough to have that experience I would encourage you to get it repaired under warranty rather than return it.

Jen: This faucet is very nice and looks great in my kitchen. It retracts well and is easy to keep clean Overall it works well but I did have to take one star away because when I switch from spray to solid stream water it drips a bit near the side when the water is on. If I press the switch harder it stops dripping.

Harywood: We finally had enough of our replacement pf (PoS!!!) faucet and decided we couldn't get rid of it soon enough. Did some research online and the Delta 9178-AR-DST came back with excellent reviews. The Amazon price was $100 less than HD, which was an order-in anyway so Amazon got the call.

Installation was easy as we'd done this just recently with the crappy pf. The Delta has a nice flow rate and the head swivels smoothly. The control handle works well also - just be sure it's parked in the center detente or you may get a drip.

All-in-all, a nice looking, good operating excellent value - highly recommended!

Amazon Customer: I bought this faucet as I was doing a kitchen renovation, and priced with all hardware stores in my local vicinity. What a price difference between the hardware stores and here. I love the faucet I have received compliments on the look, style and ease of use. The best part is the magnetic sprayer it always goes back into place. It was shipped in a timely fashion and came packaged carefully. I am very happy with this product and how quick it came to my door. It pays to do your research when doing renovations.
