## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice, reliable faucet for single hole sink
*by J***R on November 24, 2011*

I have two of these installed in my house, so when my mom needed a single hole faucet, I sent her one of these directly from Amazon. The price was better than on ebay and by shipping directly to her, I saved postage as well. Highly recommended - the finish lasts and the faucet has worked reliably for almost 5 years. I think it actually looks better than the stock picture indicates. It is easy to turn off and on and never leaks. I've not had to replace any washers or valves and we have very hard water. More importantly, the chrome drain stopper and trim that comes with the faucet is showing no signs of wear in 5 years. Kohler makes a quality product. Can't say the same for other 'brand name' faucets.In my experience, the plumber costs more than this faucet does.... installing one like this will save you money in the long run because it will not need to be replaced or repaired as often.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Faucet
*by A***R on December 9, 2013*

I've used this bath faucet in several different houses over a 12 year period. I prefer single handle designs and like this one's style. You can either use the base plate or leave it off for a more contemporary look. The chrome finish cleans and holds up well and I never had any leaks. Make sure you have enough room between the wall or back splash and the bowl. In my current house (60 years old), I have only a 3.5" space and my plumber had to finagle the drain handle backwards so I could use it -- I'm guessing 4" or more would be better. Also, my plumber is old and set in his ways -- hot water to the right, cold on the left, no matter what the handle indicates. This handle indicates hot to the left; cold to the right. So keep an eye out while it's being installed so the water lines are attached correctly. Overall, it's a good, mid-range value and nice design that won't get outdated quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Kohler Faucet
*by L***G on March 16, 2012*

So far, so good with this lovely retro type looking faucet. I had the cheapest faucet ever installed by the home builders in our guest bathroom for years. I finally kicked down and bought this one as it looked nice and had that high arch to it where you can get a good hand washing and not have to make any contact with the sink like we did with the old cheapo faucet. The water comes out at a nice pressure and had a pleasant sound to it. Not like our old one where the water kind of splashed and gushed out. This one has a nice aerated water sound to it, if that makes any sense. Good sturdy, solid movement turning on and off and easy to clean. My brother-in-law installed it and did a wonderful job.
