don't know why faucet name has "mini" in it -- it seems to be a full size, heavy, quality faucet. Just had it installed on new granite countertop with stainless sink also purchased from Overstock. Looks beautiful, particularly in the stainless finish that coordinates with sink -- not your typical shiny chrome. Pull out almost locks into place so no problem with drooping. Also, faucet head turns to adjust flow from a gentle spray to more forcely action. Love it and hope it lasts for as long as the kitchen does.
I have been using my faucet now for about three weeks and am very satisfied with it. I purchased the stainless steel faucet and love the way it looks with my stainless steel sink and granite countertops. With my last kitchen remodel I purchased a more expensive faucet for around $500. For this remodel I thought I'd try online. I was a bit skeptical about purchasing online but have been extremely satisfied with the product and the process. Honestly I like this faucet more than the $500 faucet I purchased from another company previously. There are two things about the faucet that I worry could be a problem in the future but only time will tell. The first problem I forsee is that the neck of the faucet is a little wobbly and when you pull down the spout the neck moves a little from side to side. It doesn't bother me now but if it loosens a lot in the future I could see it being an annoyance. The second problem I worry about is the spout head. I love that to switch from the stream of water to the spray you just twist the spout head.............I worry though that this may break with continued use. I hope that is not the case because I really do love that feature. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the faucet and would buy it again. I also want to mention how happy I have been with Overstock. This was my first purchase through Overstock. My first faucet came fast but had a dent in it. I emailed overstock right away and the next day they mailed me a replacement faucet before I had to return the first faucet. This was very helpful because I wanted to install the faucet right away. Their customer service has been excellent..............so for any skeptics.............don't hesitate!!
Received the faucet quickly. Installation was simple. Water turns on and off quickly. Watch out if your back splash is close to the faucet hole (less than 3 in) - the on/off lever needs to rotate forward and back.
This truly is a unique product. It was the only set of kitchen faucets that I could find that incorporated a soap dispenser within the standard 3-hole sink design and provided a sprayer as well. Wish there were more of these available. The overall quality was excellent and I would buy again.
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.
I was impressed by how elegant this faucet looked installed. It is not "mini," except for the pull down spray that works very well. It has the trendy goose neck shape, but at about 15 inches, it is small enough to fit under a set of cabinets. I noticed the plumber had a bit of trouble getting it to sit properly. It is a bit wobbly for my taste. If it doesn't get any worse, it will be just fine.
The faucet looked great in the box, just as advertised. However after it was installed the entire gooseneck wobbled. I asked the plumber if it can be tightened he said no it was in the contruction of the plastic washer at the base of the neck. I ran a couple layers of tape around that area and it tightened it a bit but it is still very loose. I would not recommend this product for that reason alone.
I bought two - one for the kitchen and one for the bar. I love them - they look beautiful and work perfectly. My husband was concerned that I didn't buy a "bar faucet" - he has changed his tune and likes that they match. Also, the faucet is solid without being too huge and overpowering. The nozzle has an adjustable spray, plus the entire arm moves to wherever you need it. Make sure if you are installing with granite countertops that you leave plenty of room between the faucet control and the soap dispenser.
This is a very nice faucet, and a great find at O prices. Fairly easy to install with good instructions. Like the ability to switch from stream to spray. We've been using this for over two years now and other than tightening the fittings once, it's been perfect.

I installed it about a year ago, and I still love love love it. I decided to forgo the deck plate and place on the granite. I did have a problem with the plastic tube in the soap dispenser being broken off at an angle, but I called Fontaine and they sent me a replacement right away. I have a large quartz sink, so I initially was planning to go with the commercial style pull down with the spring, but my windowsill is kind of low. I'm so glad I chose this, the size is perfect for just about any style or configuration.
we put this in without the base plate and it looks awesome. It is perfect size. One thing that bothered me a little bit is Fontaine changed their oil rubbed bronze shade. all my fixtures are oil rubbed bronze all from overstock ( 7 bathroom sink faucets and 4 bath shower sets all bought last year) and in the course of a year, the shade went from dark to very light. that is my only complaint. otherwise great faucet.
This was much higher quality than I was expecting. Definately a bargain
This is a great faucet but nothing MINI about it. I installed it a few weeks ago and everyone in my home loves it. Installation was easy took about 20 minutes. The water flow is great (the reason I bought a new faucet old one was terrible) and the twist spray feature works great. I would definately reccommend this unit, you will be satisfied!!!
As other reviewers have stated, this is not mini, it is perfect for an average kitchen. It looks very nice and functions perfectly. In fact, It has more pressure than my previous faucet. I'm not sure about the installation, my husband installed it when I wasn't at home, however, he didn't mention any problems.
We love this faucet. Got it in brushed stainless, and it looks very classy. As others have said, it isn't mini; it is a perfectly scaled faucet for an average sized kitchen. It's not overwhelming. The control is nice because there's no button; the faucet twists to change the flow, and it's easy to choose the flow and pull it out to spray pasta or whatever in one fluid movement. I recommend it. There is a ring that goes around the base of the faucet and one that goes around the base of the soap dispenser that aren't mentioned in the directions (that's what my husband said anyway, but he doesn't believe in reading all the directions). It will just save you an extra step if you put them in place before you connect them the first time.
We love this faucet! My husband is a plumber and knows a good faucet when he sees one. Nothing "mini" about it. A very nice looking fixture and it sure spiffs up the kitchen sink!
Great stainless steel faucet w/pull out sprayer & soap dispenser for the price. Can't beat it, as a matter of fact. It took a little while to install because the instructions were pretty bad, but I figured it out eventually. Also, if the spout wiggles a little bit after installation, all you need to do is unscrew the top most piece and tighten.
I just installed my new Fontaine Mini Pull-Out faucet and I have to say I am impressed. I bought this to replace the larger Fontaine Gourmet pull-out that I returned recently after I realized it was too large for our modest kitchen and shallower sink once I received it and took it out of the box. I liked it and would have kept it if it wasn't so out of scale but I couldn't be more pleased with this new mini. I ordered the stainless steel finish which turned out to be more of a brushed nickel finish which was even better for us since that matched our other appliances and cabinet hardware. It was a little bit harder to install than the full sized Gourmet faucet I returned but the installation hardware on the new mini seemed much more solid ? metal washers and locking nuts instead of plastic on the full size model ? and the piece feels much more stable and secure. They also included pipe tape to use when securing to the water lines which the other model did not have. Water pressure is great with no leaks and drips so far. The spray nozzle feels very solid and seems to connect to the faucet stem much better than the larger model maybe because its smaller in size and less heavy. I thought I would not like that you have to twist the spray nozzle to switch to sprayer mode but its actually not that big of deal and in fact gives the overall look of the faucet a much cleaner profile without a big black button sticking out of the smaller spray head. It has a black nylon-like extension hose rather than the flexible metal hose on the larger faucet and I think that makes it easier to retract back into the faucet stem too. I love that this came with its own matching soap dispenser that's part of the base plate. I had to order a separate one when I bought the bigger faucet but did not return it with the faucet so now I have two soap dispensers? one for dishwashing soap and one for hand soap. I love that you can mount it with or without the base plate. For now we use it with the base plate but its nice to know that if we ever upgrade to an under mounted sink and granite counter tops that I have the option of keeping this faucet and mounting it without the base plate for a higher end look. Overall I love the new Fontaine Gourmet mini pull-out. Its a perfect fit for our kitchen now and when we eventually upgrade. So far it works perfectly and feels really substantial and high end. I agree with others that say it is not 'mini' despite its name. It would fit perfectly in most sized sinks and counters I think. Overstock was great throughout the whole ordeal of switching faucets. They processed my return quickly and I received the new one on time. No hassles whatsoever. Will buy from them again and recommend the Fontaine Gourmet mini pull-out faucet to anyone.
