Excellent Faucet
We actually purchased two of these (Delta 470-DST) at different times; both were black: one for our kitchen and one for our laundry room. We have had several complements on the faucets. We also purchased two matching soap dispensers (Kohler K-9619).
My wife has commented several times that she enjoys the utility of the pressure of both settings, regular stream and spray in the kitchen and laundry room sinks. They work better than our previous faucets.

Sticky Black Goop
We have had to replace the hose on this model once already. Now sticky black goop is coming out of the faucet into our drinking water. When I took off the hand sprayer it was filled with sticky black goop the consistency of wood glue, The agent at Delta told us that the hose lining in this model has a history of breaking down and clogging up the hand sprayer. Her solution offered no apology. However, she gave us the tip to soak the hand sprayer in vinegar and water. I have no idea how long we have been filling up our ice trays and drinking glasses with the lining of the hose,

Best faucet we ever had at past home.
We moved a few months ago where we had this Delta model faucet for 10years. It was on a treated well but 1/2 of the water coming through the faucet was untreated well water. Our prior faucet was an expensive German brand which cost in the $500 range. I remember this well since my husband "had a fit" when he saw what I paid for the faucet. It lasted 2 years and the manufacturer's help was to tell us to purchase a new one! Our Delta faucet had an issue after 5 years and Delta's response was to send us an entire replacement faucet honoring their lifetime warranty! We are currently looking for a new Delta faucet for the condo we just purchased!

Almost perfect
I like this faucet a lot but have 2 minor complaints:
1. The style lever/valve that Delta faucets have makes it very difficult to get the right temperature. It is either too hot or not hot enough. You have to give it a slight "tap" to get it right where you want -way too touchy.
2. In certain positions, the faucet makes a high pitched singing noise. Not loud but it annoys my wife.

Expensive Garbage
I wanted to love this faucet because I like the simple looks of it and it's functionality. However, after just 5 years we are replacing it because of the problems previously listed: leaking & corrosion and the whole thing is no good. We bought Delta because we thought is would last, but even before this faucet completely went kaput, the finish started wearing off--at about age 2. Really? I'd like to think faucets last longer than this. Very disappointed.

Great Experience
I replaced my faucet with the same identical faucet. It came in a timely manner and is the exact same faucet. I would definately make purchases again from this company.
One improvement that could be made is to let the customer know that Delta guarantees their product for life and I did not realize that until I received my new faucet. However, I sent the old faucet to Delta and they are reimbursing me for the purchase of my new faucet.

Exactly what I was looking for.
This faucet worked out well for my rental. Perfect size for the Moen 22224 kitchen sink. Very satisfied with the convenience of ordering online, price and delivery.

Poor design
We are now ready for yet another replacement of this faucet. The push button that allows you to go from spray to regular keeps falling off because the clips are plastic and just don't hold up. Keep looking for a different faucet ... you don't want this one.

Leaking Faucet
I would not recommend this faucet to any one. I have only had it for two years and it is leaking inside of the handle. I caught it in time to avoid water damage to the inside of cabinet where it leaks when you dont have it pulled out and wount notice it leaking.Looks good but not worth the money and the damage it can cause.

Great looking faucet
We have only had the Delta 470 DST installed for a month but so far it is working great (the water output is wonderful) and looks great. I have a white solid surface sink and had a Moen white faucet before. I was never happy with the output of water and the finish turned yellow over time so I decided I would go with a Delta chrome faucet this time. I was a little apprehensive about how chrome would look with my white sink --but I am very happy with it. With care in keeping the water wiped off of it after use, it seems like it will stay nice and shiny. We did pay a very good reputable plumber to install it for us which I feel is important. I am trusting Delta that it will be a faucet we will be enjoying for a long time to come.

Faucet handle
This faucet does not delivery quality service. The handle began to leak internally. The resulting leaking has caused damage to the sink base. Cannot locate a replacement handle without buying a complete unit. This faucet does not carry a lifetime warranty as stated on the box.

This faucet only lasted (4) years before it started leaking from the inside. I'd never refer anyone to buying this type of faucet.

My Faucet for 2 years
The Faucet is complete garbage, no idea how anyone could rate this 5 stars other than delta employees.
We had it for 2 years after which it started a slow leak, followed a few months later by the handle breaking off as its made of cheap plastic...this caused the hose to spray at my wife.

Not So Great
Faucet reach was not as expected and does not work well with a large sink.
Swivel is limited which also affects faucet reach.
Water shuts off only when faucet is aligned in the middle - otherwise the water continues to run (but it it so quiet you may not notice).
Enough dripping down the faucet to create a pool of water after each use.
Looks good, low profile, stainless matches fridge.

Go with Delta!
Ordered Delta single handle kitchen faucet with pull-up spray to replace an old one which leaked after 10 years. Best price at the time. Processing and shipping were prompt. Took 30-40min to replace/install on my own and the product looks/works nicely. The best part was when I learned Delta faucet's lifetime warranty we called Delta and confirmed! Got 100% reimbursed from Delta within a week after I shipped the old one back! Now I feel good since all faucets in my house are Delta brand throughout.

Disappointed
My second purchase of this item. The first one bought a couple of years ago started leaking. Bought the repair valve insert but it does not work in my older unit. Also bought a whole new faucet presumed to be identical to my old one but that is only in what you see above the sink. Old one had nice flexible metal braided hoses, easy to install. The new one has stiff plastic hose and I haven't worked up the wherewithall to attempt the installation. Might have to just call in a plumber or jury rig the installation if the plastic tubing kinks. I guess like every other manufacturer. cost saving changes are never ending.

Delta 470 Promo
worst experienece with this faucet.
1. 2 yrs ago. water leaked through the pull out pipe. damaged entire basement sealing. had to spend 1000 in fixing basement and 160 + (80 installation) for a new delta faucet. Biggest mistake I made in purchasing the same model.
2. 1 year ago had problem with clogged tube and delta promptly sent me replacement for free.
3. today 10/15/2010 we just realized that the pipe is leaking again and to my shock basement sealing is wet again.
I will never buy a delta in my life again. I am writing this review while fixing the faucet. Just imaging my frustration.
Thanks for reading !

Wonderful Faucet
I really can't overstate how pleased I am with this faucet. Its beauty is apparent, but in a plumbing fixture, I am of course most concerned with quality, durability, and functionality. Upon inspection and installation of this faucet, its quality, design, and construction seem exceptional. And it functions better than any other kitchen faucet I have owned (I'm approaching 70).
I'll have get back about durability, but the description of Delta's "diamond seal" technology--claimed to make the valve function ten times longer than the industry standard--may not be exaggerated based on how effortlessly and well the valve operates. I'm sorry if this review sounds too good to be true, but I'm really impressed with the quality and design of this faucet and would like to get the word out.

Good all-around faucet
Easy to install so says our plumber. We like it because it is light-weight and moves around fluidly. Have used it for a month without any leaking or issues. Good basic, simple faucet. Dependable. Can be installed without the white base plate. Plumber says Delta has life-time replacement warranty.

Exactly what I wanted
This is the exact type as my old one which is 10 years old but with new hardware. Installation was easy as illustrated in the manual. It feels smoother than my old one. Overall, very satisfied.

This is the second faucet of thisdesign I have purchased. It is simple, straightforward, no frill, no bells and whistles. It works -- well. I recommend it highly to anyone looking to install or replace a kitchen faucet.

Occasional Drip
On two occasions I've had the faucet continue to drip after being turned off. I've been able to stop the drip by turning the faucet on then off again. I hope this doesn't turn into a need for a repair. Other than that I'm very pleased with the style and function of the faucet.

Works Great, Looks great
Installed unit as soon as I received it. I had a Delta single handle pull out spray faucet before that was leaking after a couple of years. I scratched the finish on it in a futile attempt to remove and replace the old cartridge. Decided to go with stainless steel finish this time. I like the new design cartridge and should be able to service it easily when the time comes. Unit is working great and looks awesome.

Great Faucet
We just installed dark granite countertops and had purchased a anthracite Seligranit sink so we wanted a black faucet to match everything. The faucet arrived within days and completely met our expectations. Operates so much easier than our old one. Very happy with the purchase and the service from the seller.
