Not Perfect, but Great Value
For around $80, this faucet is a great buy. We decided to upgrade our laundry room sink and didn't want to spend $300++ on a decent looking faucet, like we did for our kitchen. Time will only tell if the quality of this faucet will make it last, but initially it appears at least on par with the more expensive brands in terms of fit and finish. So, here's what you dont get at this price: 1. Factory connections were loose. After reading a few complaints that this faucet leaked upon hookup, I made sure to check the factory connections. To my standards, they were loose. So, I made sure to tighten them BEFORE installation. Easy to do, took 2 minutes. Don't over torque, just snug them up a bit. Impossible to tighten afterwards without removing the whole faucet. 2. The configuration of the faucet cold/hot lines has the handle oriented to provide hot water when pulled forward and cold when pushed back (with handle to the right of faucet, facing faucet). This is backwards for standard conventions. So, I reversed the cold/hot connections to correct. Your call on as to preference, but I like consistncy in my house. 3. On the more expensive faucet, we have a magnetic catch to help capture the retractable end. This model doesn't have it, but seems to seat nicely if you get the weight adjusted decently. Not a feature worth the extra money, if you ask me. 4. The mounting nut seems a bit on the less thsn durable side as well. Its a metal nut with a plastic shroud to help tighten. It worked fine, but it seems on the cheap side comparitively speaking. If need be I can upgrade it at a hardware store in the future. 5. The instructions were just ok. I've done a few of these installs, so they worked fine for me, but weren't great if you need detailed step by step. Otherwise, the spray buttons seem to work (again, long term??? we shall see) and the water shuts off almostly instantly. Metal finish appears similar as the more expensive brand as well. Some spare parts were also included as well. Nice, but I hope thats not a sign of what to expect in the future. If you want to save some serious money and dont mind a bit of a gamble on long term quality, I would highly recommend. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't hesitate putting this faucet in our kitchen. It doesn't look cheap at all. Perfect for real estate upgrades as well. TIP - If you have the option, install the faucet BEFORE you mount the sink. SOOOO MUCH EASIER than playing cabinet twister for about an hour. Good luck and God Bless. Hope this helps a few folks.
