This faucet was in a protective packaging when I received. Inside of the product, it surprises me about the quality is outstanding! When I installed it, each part of the faucet also perform perfectly. And there is an manual about how to install it, and it was very easy to install. It was a breeze! I had it done in less than 10 minutes. Install this new faucet is much easier than remove my old faucet. Sprayer head is with 3 modes, Spray mode, Stream Mode ,Pause Mode. Sprayer head retract function is really well. Highly recommend Arofa faucet, it feels durable. I will update this review after continuous use.
This is, amazingly, the best faucet we've ever had. We had our doubts (used to buying Kohl, etc), but we thought we'd give this one a try. Our last faucet (a $300 Moen) lasted less than two years, and from day one, had the worst water pressure (to the point where we'd have to help bits of food down the drain with our hands, even with the spray at full blast). This faucet, however, has been a game-changer. It was quick and easy to install, and right off the bat, it has the best water pressure we've ever had. I had concerns about positioning the lever to the front (couldn't position to the side, since there was no clearance for it in the back). However, we are loving its position in the front. Lastly, there was the (small) issue of the counter weight falling off the hose (causing the hose to not retract all the way into the faucet heat). After talking to the seller about this, they sent us another (differently designed) counter weight, which has been working perfectly for the past few weeks. All in all, great customer service and a great product!
We chose the brushed finish which looks great with a standard steel sink. The sink is old, but still looks shiny and we decided to upgrade the faucet as getting a new sink would be a whole counter top with a new style sink project which we are deferring for now. The faucet is made in China, and appears to be well made with quality materials. The packaging was excellent so there were no scratches or blemishes on our faucet. Installation is easy, but in our case some old pipes needed to be cut which I decided to have a plumber handle. My guess is a newer home (mine was built in 1974) installation might be just a screw up the new faucet to some existing hardware. I would not need a plumber to replace this new fixture at some future time. Also, if we do get a new sink someday this faucet will go on the new sink. After about a month's use everything cleans up nicely and it looks great. The action of the water lever is smooth and feels solid making control the water flow and temperature easy. The incorporated sprayer is great. It pulls out of the faucet easily, doesn't shoot water all over, and recoils back to the faucet with authority. I have seen these faucet sprayers in other people's homes that seemed to be hanging out and that's not the case with this one. I didn't see any "parts" list in the installation instructions. I'm not sure if you could buy a replacement cartridge for this one if it started to leak. I think it is well made and the manufacturer has a 5 year full replacement policy so I'm not worried.
One tip, originally we had the control lever on the right side. This meant you pull the lever toward you to get hot water and push the back towards the wall for cold. After a couple of days I loosened the main bold securing the faucet and rotated it to put the lever on the left side. Now you push the lever back for hot and pull towards you for cold. You could rotate it less and have the lever face you and then left would get hot water and right would get cold. If you install the faucet yourself you can move it yourself if you want. If you have the faucet installed for you, then tell the installer where you prefer to have the control lever positioned.
Received the Faucet today and immediately installed with ease. I actually purchase for my RV (40ft) and the moment I turned it after connecting the water lines, WOW!!!!!
I am very critical of any product prior to purchasing and read all the negative comments first. Surprisingly none of any consequence. I WILL be updating my initial review after the first 3 months (4/22/19).
I love this faucet! We needed to replace an old MOEN faucet that was leaking badly. I hopped onto the Lowe's website and was astounded at the prices for similar faucets. So, I checked Amazon and found this one that was the style we wanted and a much better price.
The old faucet was a nightmare to remove due to an idiotic design but once we got that beast off, putting this one in literally took like 5 minutes. If that. It looks great, works great, no leaks.
I recommend.
Gorgeous faucet with some stuff that makes it stand out above the competition:
1) includes 2 adapters to convert 1/2" male outlet on water cutoff valve to 3/8" male outlet. I absolutely needed this and it would have cost another $7 on amazon, though not needed if your cutoff valve is already a 3/8" compression.
2) the under-sink faucet anchor nut is a long plastic sleeve (with metal nut-thread insert) that makes tightening/loosening possible without a special tool or plumber's wrench in a tight space. And plastic won't corrode.
3) includes spare aerator parts
4) instructions are in understandable English with color photos (not the typical pathetic attempts at English translation included with many Chinese product instructions)
So far so good. It's held up well for about a month, looks nice and both the sprayer and regular options have good water flow. Overall good design and great price. Color is as advertised. I like the hidden waterproof pad too.
Mostly easy install. I had a minor heart attack trying to open the hose weight. It came lathed closed and the plastic hooks are delicate. I wish they'd just ship it open to avoid the headache but other than that, not a hard install. A LOT easier with 2 people though.
