Fontaine Gourmet Kitchen Mini Pull Out Faucet

Rating

We've been using this faucet for a couple of weeks now and I love it! I haven't seen any of the wobbliness that others have mentioned. I get the impression that if you get one like that, it's defective. Ours is beautiful and solid. I love the pull down spout. The design seems very intuitive. Quick out and back -- and I like the twist feature to change from regular to spray mode. Previously we had a faucet where a larger portion of the neck and spout pulled out to work as a handled sprayer. I ended up disliking this because of two things: One - it's a little awkward twisting your hand around to grab the neck in the right direction, particularly if you're handling a heavy pot or some such in the other hand. Not something I would have thought of before owning one. Two - Frankly, I tend to like to hang my dishcloth on the neck of the faucet to dry and then it would get in the way of grabbing or returning the sprayer. Neither problem with this one. Pull down feature fits easily in my hand and goes back with one hand. Although, I admit, it's so pretty I don't really want to hang my dishcloth there anymore. : )If I have any criticism, it would be that the assembly instructions were a little ambiguous. Luckily, I have a smart husband who figured it all out : ) but it was a little less clear than I'd like. We found ourselves questioning whether some tiny part was missing. (It wasn't.) The other question I have is that the pull down spout doesn't feel like it's made of a really heavy material - and there are some plastic parts in the connection area of the spout to the faucet. It's not really unusual. Most faucets you look at today are the same. I'm just praying they are durable in the long run. It's great right now. We'll just have to wait and see!

Okay the installation directions could be a bit better...and more complete...but other than that. It's a heavy well made product, and very attractive. I've never had a built in soap dispenser before...and I have to say, I really like it.

The service from Overstock has been fantastic, the item came in a timely manner, the faucet is lovely. However, the component that controls the switching back and forth from full flow and the spray is made up of plastic and therefore has already broken down and is not functioning. But, the faucet comes with a limited lifetime warranty and we called the Overstock warranty department and they sent out a new faucet sprayer head right away, so problem solved, for now.

Excellent faucet! It has been installed and in use for about 3 weeks now and I really enjoy it. High quality materials and workmanship, great look, very satisfied with our purchase. Addressing an issue brought up in earlier views re the faucet being wobbly: the gooseneck wobbles, NOT the base. The base wobbling was my concern but this isn't the case. I suspect that this is part of the design. Another item to note is the nozzle: it is metal. This may not seem that big at deal at first but think long-term durability. Many of the faucets I checked out by well known manufactures had cheap plastic nozzles, which was disappointing. I am quite happy with my purchase!

Arrived very quickly. Very Attractive and looks like its very good quality. It was a little shorter in hight than all the others ---maybe that's why it's referred to as "mini" --but I needed something shorter because my paper towel holder is right over it. I find that the handle unscrews after some use. I hope that won't be a problem. Also, I'm wondering if it was made for a wider ( front to back ) sink, because there is a lot of splashing when faucet is turned on, so I have to keep it turned very low to avoid a mess. I had a workman install it., so don't know ease of installation. 4 stars is because of the handle and the splashing.
