I'm pretty well competent in doing plumbing, electrical, construction, you name it. Bought the faucet as price wise it looked a great buy compared to the local home stores as the price was about the same as a standard name faucet set. Upon arrival the faucet is impressive. The lower section is quite heavy and looks well made. The sprayer retainer has a couple of set screws to hold in a plastic guide for the thing to pivot on. The upper portion is a heavy chrome spring (chrome finish faucet) with a standard looking flex hose run in the middle of it. The sprayer head is very heavy with a good feel to the handle and has a loop that flips over the top of the handle to hold the sprayer on if you want to wash veg etc. without having to hold the handle down to get the spray. Whole thing is very commercial looking. The little flip handle at the end of the faucet allows you to divert the water. You can have both the sprayer and the faucet going at the same time or you can turn the little handle piece at the end of the faucet and gradually turn the water off on the faucet side so only the sprayer works. Flow wise it seems plenty to me. We have good water pressure in our home so don't know if that makes a difference, but the sprayer and faucet run a good jet of water that seems plenty powerful for what we need. Any more and I would think that the water would be hitting whatever you are spraying and splashing everywhere. Still might as it is now. Main control is the handle on the side down low. With the handle tilted out from the faucet the water turns on. Takes a bit of getting used to not to pull it too far and have the water full on. Does not take much range of motion to do. Feels solid and not flimsy. Straight up is cold and if you turn the handle towards you is hot. Turns (going off memory now) approx 90 degrees from straight up. So, worked well for us as we were concerned with the range of motion of some faucets we looked at and felt they would hit the back splash and so we'd have to turn the control more towards the sink to clear. Not a problem with this one as the range of motion puts all action out toward the sink. Hope that makes sense. Both the facet spout and sprayer both pivot so you can put the water where you need. Issues. Not been in that long so longevity I don't feel I can comment on. We felt, for the price, we could install it, use it and if it had a problem that was not in warranty then we were not out any more than a regular faucet. Looked at a Kohler that was approx the same as this one (had a arched tube instead of a spring and a standard looking pull out sprayer hose with a really nice head on it) that was $1000! Felt this was quite a bargain then! Instructions. I'm pretty handy. The instructions are a little vague. Connection of the hot and cold lines - when they are talking about left and right on connection lay the faucet assembly down with the main controller facing the right. The hose connections are angled, but one is more to the left than the other and this is how I hooked it and it works correctly. Turn to the red position on the main controller and the hot water comes on. There are two rubber washers in the kit. Might have missed where they go as all you get is an expaneded view picture, but looked to see and did not really see where they go. I finally (and perhaps not correctly) put one on the connection of the flex pipe with the spring around it to the main unit as it looked like it needed some seal there. Also, maybe need to take a better look, but could not decide which way the spray retainer should be sitting. The retainer is cupped on one side and flat on the other. With it installed with the flat surface up the connection for the spring hose is easy to get too, but then the spring just slides around and can twist at an angle. With it flipped the other way with the cup part up the hose connection is pretty difficult to get in and tighten, but the spring then sits in the cup and is held in place. That is how we have it installed now. Last is a comment on mounting. Instructions are clear enough, but it would have been nice to have something that looked a little more sturdy. Perhaps a threaded collar made on to the base, in a diameter to fit a standard faucet hole, that would slide through the sink or counter and then a retaining washer and nut that could be tightened on so that you had a wider load spread and perhaps less chance of movement within the mount hole. The soap dispenser we bought looks more sturdy of a mount. What the faucet comes with is a threaded hole at the bottom that a 3/8 or so stud mounts in. This and the hoses slip through the hole and then a horseshoe metal retainer (to allow the hoses to pass through) and a rubber seal are what retains everything. You just tighten a small 7/16 wrench nut on it. With the weight of this thing it just seems like it could have been designed more stable. I tightened it as much as I dare (mounting in silestone counter) and it does not move or wabble, but wonder about maybe having to go back in down the road to retighten. Just seems a flimsy mount compared to what it could be. Might be fine though. Hose connections - simple enough, they screw to your hot and cold pipe connections. Only issue I had was the flex lines that come with the faucet were too short. Had to go buy some hoses to extend the length to reach the lines. Guess last word of caution is that this thing is HEAVY! If you are mounting to a sink itself and the gauge is not thick enough you may have issues. Nothing to support this, but just a feeling. Hope that helps. NOTE: so far I'd recommend, but again has not been in long so no longevity comment. Feels pretty sturdy, metal for the spray head, metal base etc. Looks great for the price.

Faucet appears to be already assembled however the installation instructions direct you to take it appart. Even more frustrating is that in the instructions they refer to 'part numbers and part names' but when you look at the drawing, the part numbers do not match up to the part names in the directions. Its almost as though i got installation instructions for another faucet but i didn't. They are the correct. I am thinking of just installing it with common sence but the errors in the installation instructions makes me nervous. It should be a very easy installation as there is only the faucet, 2 hoses and a few washers to install. So far i am not impressed. Also, when i squeeze the sprayer, it squeeks and makes a sound as tho something inside is scratching against the chrome. The faucet seems like a '2nd' or one that didn't pass quality control. My sister has the $1000.00 version of this faucet and the difference is obvious to me. I guess you really do get what you pay for.

We just installed a huge 36" apron front stainless steel farmhouse sink, and the plumber installed this faucet for it this afternoon. This thing is a giant WOW - tall, shiny, gorgeous! It functions perfectly and so smoothly. It's my ultimate dream kitchen faucet! The plumber said he'd installed one before, but a smaller model, and said we would LOVE it. After he got it in, we both stood back and admired it. He said "everybody needs one of these!" I took that as high praise from an experienced professional plumber!

Item was received within 24 hours :-).. It is quite heavy and appeard to be well made. It is :-) installed and there are no leaks. The spray head and the faucet can both deliver water at the same time. It is quite tall and truly looks great :-).Kraus's customer service is great and they answered all my questions:-).I would definitely suggest this faucet if you're looking for workmanship, quality, value and style:-).

As soon as my handyman finished installing the faucet, it started leaking around the black plastic piece on the sprayer....

It's not yet installed. We are still waiting on the countertop to be installed. I'm sure it will work just fine. It seems to be made well. My only complaint is the hose that arches out to the faucet head. It is very visible and it is white plastic. I'm sure it will function properly, however, I can not understand why they didn't use a braided stainless steel hose that would have matched the rest of the faucet. The white plastic looks so cheap. I'm struggling with sending it back or not. I would not have bought it had I know the hose was not stainless as well. It's close to perfect but just not quite there.

OMG, this thing is fantastic! I saw one just like it for $3,200 at a designer showroom. Then I saw this and read alll the positive reviews so I bought it. It came two days later! This faucet was heavy and quality just like the one in the showroom. I had a plumber install since I saved so much on the purchase and he was super impressed with the quality. Everything works great and the water pressure seems double my old one. My wife loves it and it looks fantastic in our super modern house. Maybe the best on-line purchase I have made.

Very nice piece of hardware. After installing it on my new granite countertop job, the plumber said, I gotta get me one of these.

altho i have had so many compliments to the look of this faucet i find that the sprayer has a constant leak. i havent taken it apart to see if there is a gasket i can replace, for the price a leak isnt accecptable.

I bought this faucet for my remodel and I can't believe how nice it looks! I have NOT installed it yet! I looked and looked for a faucet of this quality everywhere... For the price I don't think you can go wrong I saw plenty that cost 6-7 hundred for the same type that seemed to be the same! This one looks sooooooooo nice and it is very heavy... Some I saw the sprayer is plastic not this one it looks and feels resturant grade!

I adore the fact that this faucet is what I get complimented the most in my newly remodeled kitchen. It is so tall and elegant it stands out. Worth every penny.

This faucet looks and works like a million bucks. It is tall and some have said that it is a little abnoxious but I disagree---most think that I spent a fortune on this faucet. The squeeze spout cleans my dishes without getting my hands wet. It chisels the food right off. The other spout works just like a standard faucet and I use both all the time. I would buy this all over again!

I was looking for a modern faucet for my kitchen and noticed faucets like this in a lot of high end kitchens on reality shows. I couldn't be happier with this faucet. It looks really expensive and does a great job. It is large but definitely gives the feel of a commercial kitchen. The emblem is engraved on the flat side of the handle. I switched the hot and cold lines so cold is up and hot is down (towards me). It doesn't come close to hitting the back splash behind it...something I was worried about.

Just received this and husband installed yesterday. It is outstanding. Looks better than faucets I have seen for $1000.00 plus. Very heavy solid construction. It's way bigger than I expected because it's not only tall the chrome is also very thick so it has a lot of visual weight. Very commercial feel but gorgeous and I'm very picky when it comes to faucets. Asked husband how installation went because I wasn't home when he put it in, he said it was not bad you just need to know what you're doing. Very pleased with this purchase & Overstock shipped super fast.

This is the perfect faucet for our LARGE kitchen. It is very tall, and really makes a statement. The best part is the side mixer, which I use most frequently. The only complaint I have is that the water pressure from the "sprayer" part is not nearly as good as the pressure from the side spout. I wish the sprayer was stronger for situations like spraying food particles from the sides of the sinks down into the drain, etc. Still, we love this faucet!

We have had this installed for one year now and it is still working great! It is a focal point of our kitchen - we get so many compliments on it and at least one friend has bought it.

I never do this.NEVER...But I thought why not. The product is great. Easy to install and works as it should. One drawback. The lever goes form 90 degrees top (cold) to hot (180) this is hard to get used to. I guess they wanted to make it so people installing it against the wall couls still use it, but for us installing in an island its a pain. The hose could be chrome as some others are but for the money this is a great addition to our kitchen.
