Luxurious Delta Faucet Leland Brushed Nickel Kitchen Faucet for Your Home

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...

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!

Shannon M: A beautiful faucet! We bought this to go with a Kraus undermount sink that we also found on Amazon. This faucet complements the sink very nicely. It's a sturdy and striking faucet, without being too overbearing ( I find that some of the more "industrial" looking faucets are too large and bulky looking).
In terms of functionality, it is easy to use and the water flow is perfect, and can be adjusted easily. Love this faucet, and I'm so glad we found it for our kitchen.

SB: I bought this faucet four months ago (04APR15) to replace an older Delta that came with my house. With the exception of three minor details, my wife and I both think it's outstanding. Originally I wanted to replace the previous faucet with an identical model as I found it very satisfactory, but it was discontinued and I didn't have time to rebuild it. After spending hours going through reviews I discovered that kitchen faucet assessments are extremely subjective and overall weren't that helpful - I purchased and installed three other faucets that were cheaper but got good reviews. After installing and trying each of them out, I removed and returned them. Finally, I bit the bullet and purchased this one and have been extremely pleased.

Pros:
- Very solid construction. The weight of it really surprised me when I took it out of the box. It easily weighs three times what the cheaper faucets weighed. Fit and finish is great.
- Very easy and quick to install. Came with good instructions. I took my time and still had it in and running within 30 minutes.
- Good positive control with the lever. Took a little getting used to having a lever that...
