Bought this faucet after all the positive reviews. What a mistake. It is CHEAP. Maybe the reviews were fake? The nozzle is PLASTIC and the finish on the nozzle does not match the stainless steel on the rest of the faucet. The nozzle is also not magnetized so it doesn’t sit flush against the rest of the faucet. It is weighted though, so as long as the hose doesn’t touch the bottom of the cabinet you might get lucky. It’s a pretty cheap corner to cut though, which should tell you something about the rest of the craftsmanship. Learn from my mistake and don’t buy this. Very cheaply made, it has no kind of clip or magnet to hold nozzle in place! It has a weight that goes on hose under sink to pull nozzle down, problem is it’s not enough to retract the nozzle so it will droop unless you reach under sink each time and pull the hose! sounds like a German company but it’s made in China, I returned and bought a delta faucet and the difference is amazing. And the delta faucet that looks almost exactly like this one didn’t cost too much more. Don’t waste your time, kraus = cheap and made in China. Delta is USA made This has proven to be a fantastic faucet with just one drawback. We picked up one of these for the break/lunch room sink and it looks outstanding. The button to switch to spray doesn't lock, so you do have to hold it down (although we knew about this going into it, so this wasn't a problem). So far everyone has had nothing but positive things to say about it.The only draw back is where the head piece screws onto the hose. You experience what I am talking about during installation when you have to remove it temporally to flush out any loose particles in the line before using the head. It unscrews from the hose connection that slides into the neck revealing plastic threads. There is no rubber washer or anything. Now we have seen YouTube videos online with this issue before buying, so we kept this as a scenario in our mind just in case. The issue, is that it may leak at these threads. Sure enough, when we finished installing the faucet, it did indeed drop and even spray a little from the connection point of the head to the hose. No matter how tight you screw it on, the leak was there. The solution however was easy. The videos on YouTube experiencing this only complained about it happening, but didn't try doing anything about it. All we did was apply a good layer of plumbers/seal tape to the threads of the head. This solved the leak/spray issue and the sink was ready to go.We are all tech geeks here, so plumbing isn't our forte--however, we still knew how to handle this. We can sometimes demonstrate a high level of OCD when it comes to alien projects such as this, to make sure that every variable is dressed neatly. Plumbers tape should be something everyone should have on hand when working on anything involving water like this. You should always apply it to any thread scenarios to help fight against leaks.That being said, an added solution by the consumer doesn't count towards a perfect finish as the leak shouldn't have been there to begin with. We took a star away because of this as it should have worked right out of the box based on the items that came with the faucet. If Kraus has leaky issues, then they should at least include a small ring of tape with their products to serve as a bandage to the problem.Beyond that, it is a fantastic looking faucet. It looks great, sprays great in both modes and adds to the aesthetics of the installed environment. This faucet works great and I am so happy I took a chance and ordered from amazon instead of waiting weeks for a special order from Lowe's or Home Depot. It literally took TWO DAYS to be delivered, which is amazing because we don't live in the continental US.PROS:-Looks beautiful, I love the sleek design and spotless finish.-The spray button feature does not have to be held in place, it's a little button on the side that you can press and forget.-The pull out spray head works great. It clicks right back into place after use. Been using it for about a month now with no problems.*As for other reviews that mention the head swiveling too much, we don't have that problem at all. Ours was installed by a professional, and he didn't mention anything either. It is not too bulky, and it looks great. Exactly what I wanted. Very pleased with this purchase and would buy again from this brand. Will definitely update review if there are any problems with the faucet in the future. But so far, EXCELLENT!!! Don’t waste your money!!!!Product cheaply made, no magnet or weight on pull out hose, after 1 month the hose head doesn’t come back to place and the faucet is loose and not sturdy. it’s look bad on my brand new kitchen.I Contact the seller but no help. they refused to replace it or send me any parts.I spent $250 on kitchen faucet that last 1 month!!!
