We just installed this faucet last week and love it so far. Installation was mostly straightforward. I'm a woman and I installed it MYSELF! I love that it came with special tools designed for tightening some of the nuts. The only tool I needed was a wrench to tighten the water lines. The most difficult part of installation was trying to work under the sink and turning off the water supply- the knob was stuck!
I love the magnetic spray head. We used to have a pull-out faucet (versus this pull-DOWN) faucet and it was always a pain getting the head to go back into the faucet without the hose twisted and jamming. The pulling oepration is always smooth with little resistance.
Another HUGE plus of this faucet is the sprayer button. Many faucets we considered required you to hold down the spray button to keep the sprayer going. This faucet has a switch so you just select the sprayer or the regular flow and it stays on that setting without having to hold the button in.
The handle operation seems very sturdy and smooth - definitely not rickety.
The soap pump was super easy to install as well. The top part that you push down on is plastic, but I'm sure it is easily replaceable down the road if it ever gets nasty. With frequent cleaning/soaking, I'm sure it will last a while. The piece that attaches to the sink is stainless steel, however, so as long as that's durable, I'm okay with the top part being plastic.
I am 100% satisfied with this faucet. It was such a great value for how durable and sturdy it is. We tried this one out at Menards as well as another Delta model that was in the $300 range and they both felt the same. Our faucet was on sale at Menards for $165 (on sale from $188 regular price).
And as always, the lifetime warranty is great reassurance, and is a major reason we chose Delta over a knock-off brand. Delta Velino 16971-SSSD-DST Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Integrated Soap Dispenser, Stainless
This is a beautiful faucet that looks like a much more expensive model. It's well built, the magentic clip on the sprayer is great, and the installation was easy. Removing the previous faucet was the only hard part.
Tools you will need:
- Silicone caulk
- A wrench to tighten the water hookups
The faucet installed very easily and functions great. The magnetic head attaches to the arm very well. The water pressure is great and easily changes from spray to full and back. The only thing you have to be careful with is that when you turn it off you have to make sure the handle is centered in the off position. If it's tilted front or back it won't shut off completely but once you know and are used to this, it is not a problem.
This faucet is awesome. Works perfectly and it looks really good with my granite countertops. The soap dispenser is great. Pretty easy to install too. I'm not a plumber but I figured it out with no problems. Worth every penny.
I wanted a well-priced kitchen faucet that was tall and had a pull-down sprayer. This totally fit the bill. My husband installed it in a few minutes and just needed me to hold things a few times. It looks great and I love how tall it is because I can fill my baby's bathtub, wash dishes, fill pots, and the sprayer clicks into place so you don't have to hold it.
Had the Delta Velino l6971 with brushed stainless installed by a professional and he didn't have any problems. Love the magnetic pull out. It is not too heavy and works very well. Does not spot like the shiny stainless we had before. The size and style look very up to date. Would recommend to anyone.
Great faucet. My plumber installed it and he said it went easy.
This is the exact same faucet sold at Home Depot and Menards (just $60 cheaper!!!).
The head snaps back great and everything is very quality as to expect from Delta. This can be installed as a single post (plus soap dispenser) or 3 post (the base comes off).
I highly recommend this product.
I've only had this installed for two days, so I can't comment on the reliability yet.
I had to return the first faucet shipped by Amazon because it had a chip in the pull down sprayer. The exchange process was extremely easy and they even overnighted the replacement, which was in perfect shape.
Quality:
The faucet itself is well-built and sturdy. The upper part of the faucet rotates smoothly and evenly, and the handle feels solid as well. The best part is the pull down sprayer. It does not offer a "pause" button like some of the others out there, but I don't care about that. It offers two settings: single and spread. I pretty much keep mine on the spread version. The nicest thing about the pull down sprayer is the magnet built into the head/body. This allows the head to align perfectly each time. Just get it close enough and it will do the rest.
Installation:
I used a single hole mount and the soap dispenser (check out my pic). Installation was a breeze with this faucet. There are no complicated water-lines to interconnect to one-another like other faucets out there. There are three connections to be made: 1 each for hot and cold water, and another for the pull down sprayer. The install kit comes with a wrench that allows for easy tightening in "tight" places. I have a 30" sink base and not much room to move around, and it wasn't bad. Installing the faucet took roughly 20 minutes, and the soap dispenser took 5 minutes, if that. The hardest part was fishing the water line for the sprayer through the faucet. Be sure to place the end cap on the line and twist while your directing it through. I'm handy, but no master plumber. If you can follow diagrams/directions, you'll be fine.
The stainless matches perfect with my sink and appliances, and the height of the faucet is perfect; not too tall, but still makes a statement when someone sees/uses it.
You will be happy with it. - Kitchen Faucet - Kohler Kitchen Faucets - Delta - Pull Down Faucets'
