By Lisa Dugan
I had this unit in black matte installed by a licensed plumber at the beginning of April (2010). Within 4 weeks the water coming out of the faucet was foamy and had a bad chemical smell. It got better the longer the water ran. But each time the tap was turned on it happened again. We stopped drinking the water from the faucet and called Kohler. They were very courteous, but seemed unaware of any such problem. The technician thought it might be a faulty hose, so they sent a free hose replacement kit to us about 2 weeks later. We installed the replacement hose, but the problem persisted. I spoke to Kohler again, and this time they seemed very aware of the problem and said they were going to send us a complete new fixture. They were not willing to discuss the source of the problem, except to say they were well aware of it and that the new faucet was "re-manufactured" and would solve the problem. Let's hope so. Otherwise, the fixture is great looking and performs well - just concerned about what was in the water we were drinking.

By Judith A. Kling
I purchased this faucet as a replacement for an existing one with a separate sprayer. I wanted to put in a water filter system and needed the sprayer hole. This was very easy to install and came with everything we needed. The quality is much better than the original. I was a bit worried about how the integrated sprayer would retract back into the faucet, but it does so easily and stays put. I did have a slight drip from the spray holes when I was on the regular water stream, but realized that I wasn't pushing the flip switch hard enough. Now there's no drip. I highly recommend this product.

By Charles Chen
Bought this to complement our stainless appliances for a minor kitchen remodel.We explored many different options from Danze to Delta to Price Pfister and so on, but in the end, it seemed that the simplest design was the most beautiful and seemed to be the most flexible in terms of decor. The lines are clean, the size seems "just right" (not too tall, not too short), and the quality feels excellent. Amazon's price on this is also excellent; better than every plumbing supply site I researched.As others have mentioned, installation is a breeze. I had it installed in under 30 minutes. The only tools required are a Phillips-head screwdriver, something to drive a hex bolt (drill attachment makes it really easy), and some Teflon tape. All of the required hoses are included and pre-installed on the lever unit. The instructions are well written with simple diagrams but even without them, the install is very intuitive. Even novices (like me) can handle this pretty easily.Does not come with a soap dispenser, but it can also be purchased separately from Amazon (two styles to choose from: K-1895-C-VS or K-1893-C-VS) at a very good price. All pieces feel substantial and well crafted. The pull-down spout mechanism uses a very simple (and rather ingenious) gravity mechanism (essentially a giant brass nut) to keep the tension on the tubing of the pull-out spout so that it goes back up (never installed a kitchen faucet before, so I'm not sure how other manufacturers design this mechanism); it works great as long as you keep the back of your cabinet free and clear of obstructions. I dig it because the simple engineering means that it's one less possible point of failure.In summary:- Well engineered- Simple, elegant design- Excellent build- EASY to install- Good instructions- Excellent value
