Is there a way to slow down the Sweep Spray function to be able to use it like a more gentle spray?

Yes! You can adjust the water flow down with the faucet handle to a mere trickle before pressing the sweep spray button in order to get as delicate a mist as you want. I use the gentle spray to water my orchids and other delicate house plants.

Is the entire fixture--including the retractable spray head--made from metal, not plastic? I have found plastic spray heads to not be durable.

The unit is still functioning perfectly. The "hose" part of the pull-out feature is a very heavy woven material. I am not sure what it is made of but it shows no stress or wear. The only plastic parts that are visible to the user are the plastic dots where you switch between a flow to a spray. Occasionally I have to clean the head of the unit to clear the holes of the spray and flow. I soak it in vinegar to clean. Since I use rain-harvested water only, calcium build-up is not a problem so the cleaning is a very infrequent event.

Can you install this faucet without the base plate?

Yes, we have installed this faucet in three locations without the base plate. Works perfectly and obviously, we like the faucet!

Does anyone know what the pulldown part of this faucet is made of? I"m concerned it is made of plastic.

the outer casing is metal - same material as the rest of the faucet. There is a plastic collar/fitting inside the flexible pull-down part that fits snugly up into the fixed part of the faucet. It's a nice faucet. No issues with mine
