Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed! Not even a year after replacing my old faucet with this faucet, if was leaking very bad. I would get wet just using the sink for a few seconds. Not recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice solid fixture! I bought this online in August after looking at many other sites. There was a great selection and I was interested in getting this fast to renovate a rental unit I own. it is beautiful, complete and a nice solid material, not a wimpy piece. It was a snap to put in. I ordered it on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday, quick and free shipping on top of that. I would definitely order things from this site again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This product is garbage!!! This faucet is a total piece of junk! The sprayer leaks and causes the faucet to sputter. Causing water to drip down below the sink damaging the cabinet. The high arc faucet doesn't move right to left after only 3 weeks of installing the faucet. Very cheaply made!!!! I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice faucet. Im happy. I took along time to make a decision. I an happy with this faucet. It was easy to install. One thing to understand about all new faucet. They are water savers. Therefore, they restrict the water and you might experience a drop in pressure. I did. The water pressure in my area of town is low anyway. It seemed to affect the cold side more. Anyway, after you use it a while, unscrew the aerator on the end of the faucet and clean out the screen. Be careful when you screw the tip back on. Do not get it cross threaded. Take your time. Good luck!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Total piece of junk I replaced a glacier bay kitchen faucet that cracked at the plastic spout from my 5 yr old trying to use it as a handle to climb up the cabinet. Didn't leak, worked fine but figured its days were numbered. Decided to replace it with a "better" brand. Better quality. What a joke. Within a month the hot water handle loosened up. Got the instructions out and fixed not a huge deal. Week later the sprayer wont shut off intermittently,sputters and constantly drips. The faucet and sprayer has never had the same volume or pressure or the glacier bay had . Should not have any problems with something as simple as a faucet. I would not recommend this product.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from This product has great features except for sprayer on side The Faucet is a good quality faucet, except for the side sprayer it has a cheaply made plastic hose connected to it and it will not last very long with usage. If it had a braded line attached to the sprayer it would be much better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product is very stylish and practical I purchased this style as a replacement to a faucet that was installed when I built my house. I love that the faucet has a higher arc than my previous one. The brushed chrome finish blends with the stainless steel sink. The handles are user friendly as they turn off and on with the slightest touch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product! We had to replace our 19 year old Peerless faucet last month. Delta and Peerless have merged and we decided to buy this model. It is so nice. The single handles make it very easy to turn on and off when your holding something in your hand, or have dirty hands. It was easy to install, and we have had no problems with it. I also want to mention that these faucets have a lifetime guarantee, and Delta stands behind their products. They actually sent us a refund for this faucet! Standing behind the Peerless lifetime guarantee! Plus, they're made right here in the USA! They replace parts for the faucets too! Great company! Great products!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Attractve and stylish I replaced a leaky faucet with this one. I like Delta products and their lifetime warranty. It was simple to install and it looks great, works great and is a quality product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Yes, I am happy with it as it fit in nicely where my old one was. However, the pressure coming from the cold is not as strong as from the hot. Whereas both were strong pressure from my old faucet. What could be causing this, or is it just made to have less pressure in the cold now? Would really like an answer, please.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointment We have always bought delta faucets, but after replacing the kitchen faucet 2 years ago the spout seems to be corroding from the inside out. Every time the water is turned on the spout starts leaking, which is very aggravating.We will be replacing it with some other brand.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Windmere 21996LF Kitchen Faucet I bought this faucet about a year ago. I have well-water and need to clean the screen. You can not get the screen off, without taking off the whole thing and turning off water supply and un-screwing the faucet from the sink. This is a poor idea for a kitchen faucet; it is made for looks and not for being easy to clean the screen. Charlotte

Rated 3 out of 5 by from not happy with replacement sprayer We bought this faucet several years ago and have had no problems until the sprayer hose started leaking because an inside mechanism went bad. I called Delta and they replaced the sprayer kit at no cost to me, but sent me a cheaper version of the one that came with my original faucet. The finish is supposed to be rubbed oil bronze all over, yet the inside spray nozzle part is gray. It looks cheap and tacky and for $289 originally, it should not look that way! The gray part stands out like a sore thumb against the rubbed the oil bronze color. The original sprayer was completely rubbed oil bronze throughout. Not happy at all.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Love the style but had a problem after 14 months I love the style and look of this faucet. A little over a year of having this faucet the hot water faucet began to squeak. So maintenance repaired it and then it squeaked again and the hot water didn't come out very forcefully. So they fixed it again and now it seems OK. Just seems like about a year is a short time for things to start going wrong.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The product design is modern and components work well. With the external filter water there is noise but the cold water side fixture appears to work well. Fixture cost versus quality is good. Valve replacement should be easy. Sprayer hose could be more flexible. No leaks after one year of service.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice looking, easy to install, quality disappointing Looks great and was easy to install, provided that you have a basin wrench to get up behind the sink basin. I wish faucets came with longer tubes to simplify connection to the water supply. Stainless steel finish on the faucet looks great, but the valve stems feel flimsy, like they'd snap right off with little force. Water flow is significantly less than the faucet it replaced. But even with these reservations, I am satisfied with the faucet and recommend it.

do you guys carry a cap for where the sprayer attaches at bottom of faucet.. i love faucet dont need sprayer for it it just snaps on it the model 21996lf-ss..if so where can i get it and how much is it

Asked by: carrie
Hi, Carrie! Thank you for your question. There are two versions for this faucet that have two different sprayer caps. If the supplier code in the back of the faucet escutcheon assembly has no 'A' after the 6 digit code, and you have a round connection for your valve end/hose assembly, you will want RP40301 cap. If the supplier code in the back of the faucet escutcheon plate assembly does have an 'A' after the 6 digit code, and the connection for the valve end/hose assembly is square, you will need RP60295. You can usually find Delta faucet parts at any dealer that sells Delta faucets. Some good places to check can be found on our website under Where To Buy. http://www.deltafaucet.com/where-to-buy/index.html To order parts directly from Delta, you may call the toll-free Delta Help Line at 1-800-345-3358. We accept Visa or MasterCard for parts orders over the telephone. Best Regards, Rosanna

is the faucet's body solid brass, or plastic?

Brass is recommended for a longer-lasting faucet body, over plastic, which wears out in about 5 years, or so.
Asked by: coso
Hi, Coso! Thank you for your question. The 21996LF-SS body is made of metal material. Best Regards, Rosanna

Since I'm not using the side sprayer is there a part to stop the water from going to the sprayer line? Thanks Barry

Asked by: Barry
Hello Barry, Thank you for your inquiry! The sprayer port can be capped. Please refer to the parts diagram below and check to see which code your faucet has on the back of the base. It will be either 413763 or 413763-A. Models with the :-A" can use part number RP60295 to cap off the sprayer outlet. If your faucet has the 413763 code, you can use a threaded cap that works with 1/4"-18 NPSM. Such a cap can be purchased locally at a plumbing or hardware store, or online. Best regards, Tanya
