KOHLER 22972-VS Crue Pull Down Kitchen Faucet, Kitchen Sink Faucet with Pull-Down Sprayer, Pull-Down Kitchen Sink Faucet with Multi Function Spray Head, Vibrant Stainless

I purchased a Vibrant Stainless Steel model from CC's Affordable Home Improvements for $380. Installation was not difficult, as plumbing projects go. You will need someone to hold the faucet in place for the final tightening of the coupling. I used my previous Franke solid brass threaded 2" long coupling to fix the faucet to the countertop. The small threaded plate that comes with the unit looks too meager to last for long. The negative reviews refer to leaking after a few years, which I'll be watching. The faucet is manufactured in Taiwan. You may be able to see the uneven finish in the curves of the neck in the photo. The neck rotates 360 and is almost too easy to turn. The faucet produces a tight column of water and the spray function is also fairly tight. The boost function is noticeably higher pressure for heavier duty utility. In summary, it's a clean design with a decisive control lever for regulating temperature and flow. I'll update with any observed leaking or durability issues.

I very much like how this looks--it fits into just about any decoration scheme, without being over-the-top. The spray feature works even when the water pressure is very low, so I can clean out between the sink and the counter in my under-the-counter mounted sink without spraying water all over the kitchen. The water hits where you want it to in the sink--close to the drain so you don't splash yourself--but the pull out allows you to target the full sink (or beyond). The finish goes very well with my other stainless steel appliances, and also goes well with the brushed nickel knobs and pulls. I enjoy being able to fill pots faster by pushing a button. The only learning curve for me is getting used to the spray vs. stream setting remaining on after you stop the water. I've sprayed a few things inadvertently, when I meant for the water to stream. But that is easy to get used to. Finally, I like the company. I recently had a very old Kohler bathroom sink leak--and the company sent me the parts I needed to replace, without charge. Good produce, good service.

I bought maybe 5 faucets to compare. This was the winner. It’s not too high (some similar styles were just too much). It’s function works perfectly (spray nozzle works perfectly and retracts easiest). It’s really just gorgeous. Fit in front of my window and is simple yet so elegant and pretty.

Excellent design and features. Look and works great

Like this a lot but started leaking after 2 years of use.
