Very stylish
The faucet is a great price for the quality you get. It is stylish and looks great in my kitchen. Very easy to install. It's a little smaller than my previous faucet which was the Windemere. I like Delta products because whenever I have had a problem customer service was always helpful and they stand behind their warranty.

Looks good, handles feel like quality
The hand held hose sprayer is weak. It’s a fan like spray and my older Delta was much better. It had a direct powerful spray.
I found out after my purchase that I could have gotten delta free replacement washers and things replaced via you guarantee
I am still thinking of replacing this new faucet & hand sprayer ..it’s frustrating by comparison! Yet, I have got to figure out how to determine the sprayer function direct vs fan spray before I blow more cash. 😤🤷🏻♂️

Nice, but...
Nice, but it lowered my water pressure. Also, you have to almost turn the faucets on full power before the water comes out and if you want warm water you almost have to turn both hot and cold on full speed. I like the material the hose is made of, but not enough pressure when using. I hope the sprayer holds up because my last faucet's sprayer I had to replace almost every month. It was a Moen.

Poor craftsmanship
We bought this product to replace our kitchen sink faucet, also a Delta, because the sprayer hose connector broke. We bought That faucet in January 2025. , from Lowes We bought a replacement hose there that was supposed to be a replacement for that specific faucet, we still had the box. The adapter for the end nearest the drain was too small. We had no choice but to go buy a brand new faucet kit.
It was extremely frustrating

Excellent Replacement Faucet
Bought to replace an American-Standard kitchen faucet which was plagued with O-ring issues that finally gave out and sprayed water to the ceiling. We found this faucet at Home Depot and installation was a breeze. Because of the hard water in New Orleans, water spots were always present and eventually diminished the chrome finish. This DELTA looks great and and keeps a great looking appearance despite the hard tap water. I will however, coat the threaded hardware with a water-repelling grease to prevent the chlorine from seizing the threads. After all, one day the hot and cold valves will have to be replaced.

What kind of adapter would I need to attach a portable dishwasher hose? it's to small for the tip and when I unscrew it it's too big. can't seem to find the right size. Any help is appreciated
Hello, Theopholismmviii!
Thank you for your question. The Delta Foundations Kitchen 21988LF-SS faucet has an aerator with a thread size of 55/64"-27. You will need to talk to your local retailer or wholesaler about getting an adapter that fits your portable dishwasher to also fit the faucet thread size. We do not manufacture any adapters for attaching dishwashers or filters.

Tanya

Why does it take a few seconds for the water to stop? The faucet is new.
Hi, GiGi!
Thank you for your question. With our high arc faucets, the water does take a few seconds to drain out the excess water after shutting the water off. If the faucet leaks continuously after shutting off your water, please contact our customer service line so that we may help you further.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

can i hook up a portable dish washer?
a separate aerator attachment is required for our portable dishwasher. The dishwasher hose connector pulls down and then snaps onto the aerator attachment that is connected to the faucet. Does Delta have a solution for a Delta faucet number 21996LF-SS?
