There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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 yourself may result in the "touch" feature working better, as you may pay greater attention to detail during the installation. I don’t know how true that is, but so far so good. Also, I wasn’t keen on paying someone else to install it, and while I had never done this before, I like a challenge. And a number of reviewers recommended watching a video that Delta made on installing this specific faucet (available on Youtube), so I figured I had at least a decent chance of not messing it up.
2. SKIP THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, WATCH THE VIDEO(!!!)
I tried reading through the instructions first, but they might as well have been written in Greek (spoiler alert, I don’t know Greek). So I watched the Delta DIY video all the way through and felt WAY better about deciding to do it myself. I do recommend watching the entire video BEFORE you start installation, so you know what to expect. It’s pretty short (I think less than 15 minutes) and worth that additional watch. I then set up my laptop by the sink and paused the video after each installation step so I could complete the step and get ready for the next one.
3. DIY INSTALLATION WAS SMOOTH AND TOOK LESS THAN 2 HRS (INCLUDING BEER BREAK)
Based on some of the reviews I read, I was prepared for the DIY installation to take all afternoon. As it turns out, even taking my time, installation took less than two hours, including 25-30 minutes to remove the old faucet, a beer break to celebrate removing the old faucet, and testing the new faucet to make sure it didn’t leak, etc. Especially with the video, each step was pretty straight forward. And I was particularly careful on the steps that related to the “touch” feature. At some points it would have helped to have longer arms, but I managed. (For reference, I am a 5’6” female with normal-length arms.)
4. ONE PERSON CAN DO FULL INSTALLATION
The video notes in a couple of places that having a second person can be helpful for certain steps, but also shows how to do them with one person. At the time I decided to do the installation, I was the only one home. While I can see where having a second would have helped for some steps, I was definitely able to manage pretty well on my own.
5. MINIMAL TOOLS NEEDED
I only needed a screwdriver and a wrench, as well as a monkey wrench to help hold pipes still while tightening parts. Most people probably won’t need the monkey wrench, but it was helpful in my case because of limited space to maneuver under our sink.
6. DELTA FAUCET APPEARS TO HAVE HIGHER-QUALITY PARTS
As I am not a professional, I’m not sure how much weight anyone should give this observation, but it appeared to me that this Delta faucet has higher-quality parts than our old “M”-brand faucet. This was especially apparent with respect to the “anchor” part that secures the base of the faucet to the countertop (it seemed much more substantial).
7. “TOUCH” FEATURE WORKS GREAT (SO FAR)
As noted above, I read a range of reviews regarding the “touch” feature. Some people said that the feature stopped working after just a couple of weeks or months. One month in, we have not had any issues with the “touch” feature. As our faucet gets A LOT of use, and we use the “touch” feature almost exclusively, I think this a fairly good point of reference.
Note that the faucet comes packaged with a battery pack to power this feature, but you can purchase an add-on that will allow you to plug into an electrical outlet. We are using the battery pack and will see how long the first set of batteries lasts (reviews varied a lot on this point as well).
I will note that it took me a day or two to get a hang of the “touch” feature, but once I did, things were great. Everyone else in family (kids and adults) got the hang of it right away.
8. WE LOVE THE “TOUCH” FEATURE
We do a lot of cooking and baking and thus spend a lot of time in the kitchen and using the sink. We all love the “touch” feature and never want to go back to a fully “manual” faucet.
* * *
If anything changes, I will update this review. But so far, so good!
This time I decided to spend a little more and get a Delta. I read lots and lots of reviews before choosing this Leland kitchen faucet. It arrive today, and I quickly emptied out the stuff from under the kitchen sink and got to work installing it.
It installed very quickly and easily - probably 45 minutes including reading the instructions and removing the old faucet. I needed a crescent wrench, plain and Phillips screwdrivers, a towel for drips, and the plastic wrench they included in the box. The instructions are easy to follow and have lots of diagrams, so even a novice "plumber" can install this faucet. The only thing I didn't like during installation is the hot and cold water lines. They are stiff plastic and are too long for under my sink. Eventually I'll cut them off shorter, but for today I just hooked them up and left them looming under the sink with the cleaning products. They are supposed to coil in a circle to take up extra line, but they were too stiff to do it without risking crimping the lines.
I read in another review that suggested applying some silicone grease to the pull out hose, so I ordered Novagard G661 General Purpose Lubricating, Protecting and Dielectric Silicone Compound here on Amazon and applied it. It makes the hose slip in and out of the faucet neck without any friction or yanking.
After installing the faucet and flushing the lines out (and checking for leaks under the sink!), I washed a few dishes and got a feel for it. I will say, it's BIG and tall, especially compared to the PF faucet I just slam dunked in the trash. The size will take a little getting used to, but it does look good on my sink. I really like that the long swivel neck allows me to run water in all parts of my double sink without even using the pull-out head.
The water stream is strong - I was afraid this model would have a water restrictor on it, but it doesn't seem to. The stream switches from plain to shower mode with a squeeze on the button on the head. I love the magnet that securely holds the head in place on the neck when not in use.
I'm not sure I love the water adjustment handle, but it works well. There's only 2-3 inches of movement in the handle when going from hot to cold, on to off. Also, "off" is up and "on" is down, which is opposite of my old faucets. I didn't have trouble adjusting the temperature once I practiced a little, but it's different than anything I've used before.
The chrome finish on my faucet is just gorgeous, as is the shape of the whole unit. The only part that isn't metal is the shower head on the pull-out part, but it's substantially thick plastic with chrome plating. I imagine this faucet will look good years from now. The base of the faucet is wide, so those with limited space behind their sink might not be able to use it. I had several inches of room so it fit just fine.
I like that they included extra gaskets and that the aerator can be removed and cleaned with the included wrench if it gets blocked by sand from our well water. But the best part of all is the Delta reputation and warranty. I feel confident that buying this expensive (for me) faucet will pay off in not having to repeat this job again in a year or two. If something goes wrong with this faucet, Delta stands behind their products.
I'll update this review if I have anything good or bad to add to it. I'm going to upload some photos once I post this review. Until then, I do recommend this faucet for anyone who is tired of cheap faucets letting them down.
Edited 14 June 2012: I've used my new faucet for a couple of months now, and I really love it. It looks stylish and I especially love the long range of the neck and hose.
