Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Looking Faucet To be honest, I have not installed this yet. It is going in a seasonal condo and won't be installed until later in April. But from the looks of it, it looks great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not so great Well it isn't sturdy like Delta use to be years ago. I bought a kitchen faucet, chrome. I have to turn the cold water almost halfway before the water comes out. The handles are not firmly designed, more flimsy; they move some if you grab one and try to rock it. Oh, and it is the LOUDEST faucet I have ever used. I guess it's a sign of the times, things build NOT to last.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's ok Good - it's a sleek design - Bad - Delta does not have an attachable spigot so the flow can switch from stream to spray. There is another model that has a separate sprayer - but, this model should have it available from Delta. Instead have to buy from Amazon.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Faulty Cartridge’s Both faucet cartridges broke down after 2 months. In the off position, water continues to flow.
Date published: 2025-09-15
Rated 2 out of 5 by from It drips a few times after you turn the water off and the handles and the faucet move. The reason why I changed my old 43 years old Delta faucet to this one is because the old one started dripping and leaking. I love the old faucet. This new one is really nothing to rave about and I’m sorry I bought it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Kitchen faucet is great-but always fixing the leak We remodeled our kitchen about 8 years ago and updated everything. I love the look and smooth movement in this faucet, but I don't like that I have had to replace the seats/springs and stem in both handles a couple of times. Products just don't last as they did for our parents. Mom has the same faucet she had 40 years ago and it never leaks.

I was cautioned by a plumber that if the "parts" are plastic, repair is impossible in the future. I do not want a plastic faucet! Are there any plastic components? Thank you.

Asked by: AmyB
Thank you for your question, AmyB! Model 21987LF does have non-metallic components such as the escutcheon base and stem units/seats and springs, as metal is prone to corrosion. Regardless of materials used however, please know that all of our products undergo rigorous tests and are made with high-grade materials to ensure long-lasting use as well as ease of maintenance and installation of repair parts. Please contact us directly if you have questions or need further assistance. Best regards, Edward

We bought a Delta kitchen faucet which looked just like this Delta 3 hole one with a sprayer, but it had brass handles and end of faucet accents. Is that still available? What is the part number? Thank you!

Asked by: Linda
Thank you for your question, Linda! You are most likely referring to the Waterfall series such as model 2476-CBLHP--H25CB which has been discontinued. The handles and accents are still available for order and will work on any Delta "D"-shaped stem assembly. The Aerator is also still available as part number RP18508PB for Polished Brass. https://www.deltafaucet.com/kitchen/product/2476-CBLHP--H25CB https://www.deltafaucet.com/kitchen/sink-faucets/two-handle?facetFinish=chromepolishedbrass Best regard, Edward
