Fontaine Gourmet Kitchen Mini Pull Out Faucet

Rating

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.

I¿ve had my Fontaine faucet for almost a month now and am finally getting used to it. This farm housewife put it in all by herself, and the installation was relatively easy. Hardest part was taking the old faucet out! I took to heart all the previous comments on installation. (Thanks, folks.) The pipes are not too long; the lady who posted that must have had non-standard plumbing under her sink. I did need to purchase flex waterlines that worked just fine for the project. Indispensable is an under sink plumbing wrench. As for the spray hose weight , which comes apart in two pieces, I just kept re-positioning it up the hose toward the underside of the sink until I found a place where it will draw the spray back into position. One problem I did have was that the mechanism wouldn¿t fit through the old 1¿ hole from the old faucet. Thank goodness I have a Corian type sink where I could enlarge it to 1 ¼¿. So retro fitters take note. What took so long getting used to the faucet was that it looked so big I thought it overwhelmed my sink. Could be the thickness of the neck due to the spray hose. Becoming more comfortable with the profile now. Also, I kept soaking myself by sticking my arm under the gooseneck to turn the water on. My husband said, ¿Does it only spray??¿ I fiddled around with the spray head and discovered that, by turning the spray head ring, it changes to stream. A big note: The instructions included are sparse and confusing. Still, it takes a while to master doing dishes automatically with a new set of hand coordination if you have been doing things differently all your life. I am going to call the company soon and order another soap dispenser, which they don¿t offer separately, to put in the 4th hole left in my sink by the old sprayer. The dispenser nozzle is long enough that it will hang over into my sink, and I am going to put dish soap in it. I still think this type of faucet design might go the way of kitchen carpeting someday, but I am pleased with it for now.

I ordered this faucet for my mother. She had it installed and it works very well. The overall appearance is very nice - yet it seems a little bit stubby at the base to me. It's only recently been installed but the craftsmanship seems to be very good...no drips and it mounts very snugly.
