My wife and I bought this faucet as part of a kitchen remodel. The semi-professional look of it went well with the look we were going for, and obviously is good for washing dishes.
The plumber who hooked up the dishwasher/disposal/sink kept asking me about where it was from (he'd never seen the brand), and commenting about how unusually easy it was to hook it up, and how solid it seemed. Obviously, the quality of a faucet is more for long-term evaluation, but so far, it looks like he's right: the thing is built well.

I really like the look of this fixture and the metal has a very nice satin nickel finish. The 2 issues we have with the fixture are small and now that it is installed, we are just going to keep it. One, the spout handle pulls away from the metal rod and the 2 stream options are great, but you cannot pull it down or out. This is not a pull out faucet. You can pull it down about 2 inches because the spring allows this. But it is not like a typical pull out with any length of hose to work with. Also, once installed it does not come out far enough into the middle of the sink for use. It is very close to the back of the sink. It is ok, but it would be better if it came out maybe another 2 or 3 inches.
We were looking for a faucet like this in the stores and they are either very flimsy, have plastic parts, or are expensive. So I was happy to run across this one for a good price. It seems very sturdy and it is all metal. The only little thing is that the valve requires a little more force to open and shut it. It might be that I need to reduce the water pressure a bit to fix that.
After a bit a research and reading of customer reviews, I chose to purchase the Premier 120334LF Essen single handle kitchen faucet. The most convincing factor was that all part were metal and not plastic. This is a thing of beauty. The installation was quite easy, or so my plumber tells me, and he was so impressed, he asked where I got it so he could put it in his kitchen too!
Great water pressure and easy to turn off. No dripping. All in all a great product that looks as if it will hold up for years to come.
I have no plumbing know-how and even had the wrong size wrench to get the old faucet out, but I did it! This was super easy to put in and an absolutely beautiful high-end looking faucet (chrome). I bought it to replace one my mother had when the kitchen was redone 3 years ago. That faucet started falling apart - literally - 2 years ago, then the company that put it in went out of business. It had plastic parts that cracked. It took forever to find a suitable replacement that wasn't junk. The Premier works wonderfully, smooth and reliable! It was a bit pricey, but worth every cent. HomeDepot and Lowe's really don't have these kinds of faucets, so don't look there - get it here! I'm very happy and proud that I installed the thing by myself (girl power!)
Faucet installed last week. The style, quality, and function all meet or exceed expectation.
The faucet is tall and doesn't pull down as low as I would like, but it's good flow pressure makes up for it.
Our sink is close to the wall and having the flow control side mounted (as pictured) did not work for us, as the back-splash prevented turning on the hot water.
No problem as our plumber changed the flow control to be forward facing and we approve, the reconfiguration works fine for us!
I'm pleased with this faucet and would recommend.
