   Confession – I planned to use the faucet on a new sink so it was very easy to install. if you are installing in an existing sink, it will probably be a challenge accessing the underside at the back behind the basin at the back of your cabinet. I’ve replaced a only a few faucets over the years and a couple have been impossible to work on without removing (like a deep basin laundry tub). The faucet installation instructions are well written and easy to follow. I had a single hole sink but the kit comes with an adapter plate to cover the unused holes if you have a 3 hole sink. The first several pictures show the sink during installation. (The black material you see on the sink is mass loaded vinyl – MLV – that I used to lower the sink noise – it wouldn’t stay attached but I hadn’t learned that yet at this point. And bird seed for ballast to keep the sink in a working position.) I paid a lot of attention to how the line for the retractable nozzle was placed during the installation. If it doesn’t move smoothly, the nozzle may not retract. Even with that care, you see in the very last photo that in doesn’t always fully retract fully. A problem with this, and it might be my sink tho’ it is a standard size, is that water spray will reach over the front edge of the sink. It isn’t a problem if the nozzle isn’t set to spray. A minor plus was the soap dispenser. It dispenses soap by either pressing downward at the front or by pushing down at the at the back for one or two handed soap dispensing. One handed is very convenient. (The outlet on the left of the sink is an instant hot water dispenser – it is not a part of the faucet kit). In summary, I think it is a great faucet set and the brushed stainless finish matches my sink closely. I’ve used Pfister products before and have never had a problem.). As I noted above, self installation in an existing sink might give you a headache (literally and figuratively), especially if you have done one before.

   Pfister is the fifth largest U.S. manufacturer of faucets behind Delta, Moen, Kohler and American Standard. Once known as Price-Pfister, the company has gone through several owners since the 1980s and is now owned by Spectrum Brands (formerly Ray-O-Vac) which bought Pfister from Stanley Black and Decker in 2012. Under Spectrum, Pfister has seen steady growth in quality and sales. The company’s faucets are similar in build quality to those of the other top five U.S. manufacturers.

   And this is a beautiful faucet from Pfister. Build quality is superb with copper lines to below the counter (you must provide the lines from the copper to the valves0. The finish, which Pfister calls “Spot-Defense Stainless Steel” is a truly nice, brushed-look stainless that does a superb job of resisting spots. The spray end of the faucet is stainless, not plastic and it retracts smoothly into the faucet spout, held securely in place by an effective magnet.

   The faucet comes with an in-counter soap dispenser that is solidly made from the same stainless as the faucet itself and covered by the lifetime warranty as well. I’m not a fan of in-counter dispensers, but it’s included at the price.

   Also included at the price is an escutcheon, or mounting plate, to cover a three hole sink base or countertop if your kitchen currently has a three-hole setup and you’re not replacing it. This also is typically an extra-cost item with other manufacturers.

   Heavy, solid and attractive. This is simply a quality faucet in every way from Pfister.

   Pfister’s warranty is a lifetime limited warranty like those of other the top manufacturers. Reviews suggest Pfister has less responsive customer service than other top manufacturers. BUT, this is not as bad as it sounds; what people complain about is not warranty service where they need new parts. Parts are shipped and warranties are honored. The problem is contracted overseas call centers where there is no knowledge of the product beyond the parts lists and the ability to send a part. Knowing what the problem is and giving advice on issues seems to be the primary complaint.

   The sprayer does not go back into place very easy. It’s a pain.

   It looks very nice but it didn’t come with the hoses to hook it up to the hot and cold lines under the sink
   not good in my opinon.

   I knew this was a nice unit because some friends have had one for several years and are happy with it and the service they received from Pfister. I was having a bit of an issue installing it and ended up pinching the o-ring on one of the supply lines on about the 3rd attempt (mostly me and the inaccessibility of them) but they immediately sent out replacements when I notified them and it is in and dry now.

   This is a very nice faucet. It is larger than my old one, so I had to get used to it, but it is so nice that I adjusted quickly! I especially love the finish, and the “spot resistant” claim really lived up to it’s description. I left water on the fixture on purpose to see what would happen. I could see where the water had dried, but it wiped away easily with a dry cloth. I love the pull down sprayer nozzle! It is really handy! It has a wide spray stream and can be used to spray down the whole sink. And the hose connected to it is weighted underneath the sink so it retracts on it’s own. The sprayer works great with one button on the nozzle turning it on and the other turning it off. The nozzle snap-locks back into place. It comes with a matching soap dispenser too, if you have a sink equipped for installing one. I love the flowing, elegant look of this fixture. It is so beautiful! I only gave it 4 stars for “easy to install”, because we had to purchase two connecting hoses to be able to properly install it. It would have been nice if they had been included with the fixture. I do, however, think this is a very beautiful faucet that really works well and I would definitely recommend it.

   I have been using this faucet for 6 months. It has a lovely design, easy turn on handle, and it sprays with adequate pressure. However, it has one major design flaw, which is also noted by other reviewers. When the sprayer is pulled out of the arm for use, it doesn’t automatically spring back into place. Worse, you have to manually turn and click the sprayer head to fit it back into the arm. If I used the sink a lot, which I don’t, that would be a deal breaker for me.
