Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wife loves this faucet This faucet is just what we wanted. It works great and fits into the da core os our new kitchen.
Date published: 2023-09-29
Rated 3 out of 5 by from mostly good It is mostly good, but have two minor complaints. when in the 'spray' mode the pressure is high enough where you get water bouncing around. And the length of the 'throw', moving between hot and cold is surprisingly short, so a bit tricky to get just the right temp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent choice! My new Delta kitchen faucet is a pleasure to use. The on/ off hot/cold handle is ergonomically comfortable. The entire faucet is an attractive addition to my kitchen

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Faucet This is a sturdy kitchen sink faucet. The arc is a bit far forward meaning the water doesn't hit the center of my sink (which is pretty large itself). So I'd recommend paying close attention to the measurements. If you have a smaller sink, you my find yourself getting wet when you wash dishes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Remodel wow I probably shouldn't, because I have not been able to use it fully, but it is gorgeous! And they did test it when they installed So I know it works. The splash shield is genius, even got a "WHOA" from the plumber. haha I'm very happy with this purchase and it goes well with Delta Composite workstation sink I bought.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent customer service! We bought this faucet 6.5 years ago and recently developed a slow drip. I looked up our faucet model number on the web site and called customer support. In a few minutes my order was placed for the replacement part. It's amazing that a company still has this level of customer service - it's world class! Thanks Delta, it's been a pleasure doing business with you!

Date published: 2023-02-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Style & Performance Bought this kitchen faucet to replace a 23 year old Kohler. We chose the Delta Leland because of the style-especially the large handle for my husband who has big hands and the Shield Spray which concentrates the spray on dishes that you rinse. My husband installed this faucet. I would definitely recommend the Leland. It is a wonderful addition to our kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great warrantee we previously bought one four years ago and it did.t shut off . called and told them about the problem they replaced it with a new one.
Date published: 2022-12-16
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice Faucet I bought this early this year; had it installed by a plumber. Works well and is convenient, but now and then it will go on or go off when my hand gets very close to the faucet but does not touch it. That can be annoying and wet. I would like it looked at but am not interested in another large bill. Faucet was expensive, as was the installation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love The Look I replaced my old Delta Leland Kitchen Faucet with this new one. I like the look of the new one. It looks special. It took me a little time to figure out how it worked because the stream of water is different. I wish it would not get water spots on it so easily if you do not wipe of the drops right away it leaves spots on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved it This is a beautiful, single-valve kitchen faucet. Its pull-down sprayer works great. The only issue is that it takes a while to get used to the short throw in the cartridge. You go from hot to cold almost without a "warm". I love the cartridge guarantee. Maybe the best in the business.

Q&A

I see where you have answered the question about the difference between Model 9178 and 9678. What is the difference between those and Model 19978?

Asked by: Kathy61
Hello Kathy 61, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Pull-Down 19978-SS-DST faucet is a Home Depot exclusive model and it is similar to the Leland 9178-AR-DST faucet. However, the 9178-AR-DST is designed with the ShieldSpray feature and the 19978-SS-DST model is not. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya

What is the tubing for the pull-out spray made of? I am concerned about the materials as the drinking water is now being consumed from this spray.

Asked by: jdog

Does arctic stainless water spot?

Asked by: Melody
Hi, Melody! Thank you for your question. The 9178-AR-DST Arctic Stainless will show water spots. We recommend to wipe clean with a soft towel. If you should need something stronger, we recommend 50% white vinegar and 50% water solution to clean. Best Regards, Rosanna

Is there a method to keep the Leland faucet centered on the plate provided to cover the extra sink holes? Mine keeps sliding all over the place leaving a gaping grin were it fits onto the cover plate.

Asked by: Mr Streck 88yrs
Hi, Mr Streck 88yrs! Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with your Delta 9178-AR-DST faucet. We recommend to tighten the mounting nut for the faucet, under the sink to secure. You may also use a bit of silicon sealant around the plate at the sink base to secure the plate. Best Regards, Rosanna
