Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the product I absolutely love my faucet. Goes really well with my new vanity.
Date published: 2017-04-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Product filled a special requirement I have a shop that I spend my retirement time in. I have a clean-up (kitchen style) sink and the single lever faucet failed. It was so old parts were not readily available and I needed a special tool to remove the cartridge. Also I wanted the raised high nozzle The new Delta filled the bill completely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a wonderful faucet! My new Delta kitchen faucet has a good appearance, the hot and cold water handles move smoothly, and the spout moves smoothly, the aerator works well because the water comes out soft and gentle! It was easy to install!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from excellent customer service just would like to get the review problem solved having a problem with the aerator causing the diverter to make noise when turning on hot or cold faucet. With the aerator out it is fine.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from sprayer leaks whenever you turn on the water The sprayer leaks whenever you turn on the water. Makes a big mess if you do not keep wiping up the water. Went with Delta because they use to have Quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Meets my objective It is a nice look, performs as expected. I was looking for a faucet to give additional space between faucet and sink. A big bonus was that the supply lines are built in - simply insert faucet and screw onto water lines.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good Faucet Replaced an older faucet for this one as I loved the high arch. Plus I choose this one as I loved the look of the design and it would allow me to use my portable dishwasher with it. I installed it 11/17/2015. Well 01/24/17 water started spraying out of the sprayers handle. You unscrew the sprayer and water flows out of the hose just find. I've contacted support and they are sending me the replacement pieces. No questions asked. I'm looking forward to getting the parts so I can get my faucet put back together. The only negative to this faucet is the handles & base of the sink comes a little loose every so often. Tighten them up and they are good to go again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from good overall this seems to have a water hammer issue when turning on the faucet, not sure why as there is provisions in my plumbing for water hammer.
Date published: 2017-01-26
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Easy to install but cheaply made My son and I installed this yesterday with no difficulty. The spout seems to have too much play and the whole rig seems a bit flimsy but it worked right away and with no problems. Nice looking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful kitchen faucet Repaced my Price Pfister with this Delta cause the PF faucet completely fell apart. Had already repaired it twice before. This Delta faucet has a nice height for pots and pans and I can attach a Pur water filter without a problem. Handles turn smoothly and without effort. Installation was done by a plumber who loves installing Delta faucets cause they are so simple.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Bought a Moen faucet prior to the Delta, had a difficult time putting in the Moen and it continued to leak, the handles did not work correctly, there were a number of issues. The Delta faucet was installed in minutes, looks great, works great. No problems thus far would highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I like Delta products because they are a good value for the price and easy to install and their cartridges are simple and easy to replace. I've installed many Delta faucets over the last 25 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy assembly and installation. Great look and performance. Replaced a 35 year old faucet in 15 minutes due to some pre-assembly by delta.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The sprayer the sprayer continually leaks even when it has not been used.
Date published: 2017-01-07
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Fair for the price This is a simple, cheap faucet and functions as it should. There is nothing fancy about it, but it works. I've had trouble keeping the sprayer connection tight; even a small leak leads to severe "hammering" of the main faucet. Of course, Delta makes some of the most beautiful faucets out there, should you wish to pay for them (which I do for other properties, and love them all). This one is a simple, cheap faucet. Easy install and use. Height of faucet leads to strong leverage at base of faucet.....be aware of this if installing on a flimsy stainless sink. This is not fault of Delta, simply a matter of physics.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice faucet Product works really well. The side sprayer broke within 4 months, but customer service was excellent and sent a new one immediately! Very grateful for their customer service technician, Paul!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Seems okay to start, short lifespan on the Sprayer Installed this last summer. Everything installed easily enough. The nut on the spout seems to backoff periodically, but its easy enough to tighten back up by hand. But the spray has already broken. I have contacted Delta to let them know about the issue. Hoping their customer service backs up their products. Overall I like the faucet. Wish Home Depot sold just the sprayers....

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Sprayer leaks We just installed our faucet and love the design and how easy to install but the sprayer seems to be leaking and we won't even have used it. There has got to be some kind of fix for this without us having to purchase anything else with what we have already spent
Date published: 2016-11-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful, slim line design. I bought this as a replacement for a Peerless and the quality on the Delta is much better and the design much more elegant.
Date published: 2016-11-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a beautiful yet powerful faucet. This faucet has great water pressure which is very important to me since my last faucet had none! It is very stylish, the oil rubbed bronze looks very expensive yet was very affordable. I highly recommend this product.
Date published: 2016-10-13
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Installed as instructed. Pressure problems though. Installed as directed and all went well. Low pressure when the faucet is turned on however, either hot or cold. We also have a bar faucet on the same line and water pressure remained strong there so I know it's not a pressure problem going to the faucet. I think I read somewhere that this faucet had a water saver feature. ? Is that the issue here or should I be checkig something else. Odd that it's both faucets. is there something in the spout I should check? Already took the strainer out.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Looks great but no hot water I purchased the faucet from Home Depot. It looked great in the store and I thought it would really work well in my kitchen. I installed everything and turned the water back on. I noticed that the pressure on the hot water was low. It slowed to a trickle after two days. Thinking I had not opened the valve enough, I checked it and it was correct. Well after 20 mins of checking the main supply, valve hoses, disconnecting and reconnecting the supply lines I checked the diverter assembly. I noticed that the cold water flowed great but the hot water did not. Well I guess I'm on my way back to Home Depot for another faucet. One question is Delta the product for me? The faucet does look great but...

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I like the look The sprayer has started to leak after only 5 months of use. I agree with the other reviews that the handles become loose. They do not carry replacement part at home depot.

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

Asked by: theopholismmviii
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. Best regards, Tanya

Why does it take a few seconds for the water to stop? The faucet is new.

Asked by: GiGi
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?
