Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kitchen faucet Very durable and many spray options. Nice and heavy duty

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Faucet handle is a little loose. The handle must be completely pushed closed or the faucet will leak.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great faucet. Poor instructions. We really like the faucet and its features; however, the installation instructions were confusing and inadequate, even for my husband who is quite handy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from damaged cartridge Had sink and faucet installed by plumber. Faucet had to hit a certain spot when turned off or would leak. Called Delta and they said it is a defective cartridge and they would send me a new one. I do not feel I should bear the expense of installing the cartridge as they sold a defective product and this was bad since it was installed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good purchase I purchased my home in 2016 and it has been more than (6) years and no issues with the original Delta Faucet (9178-AR-DST)! Only recently, the faucet started leaking but since the faucet (9178-AR-DST) has lifetime parts replacement I know I can get the replacement parts at no ($0) additional cost #EASYfix

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install, looks and works great I bought this several months ago and was waiting for new countertops and sink to be installed. Worth waiting for! I’m impressed with the smooth finish and operation of all the spray features.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst faucet I ever bought Bought the 9178 DST it has very little water flow from it . All water lines were flushed. I would never recommend this faucet to anyone.
Date published: 2022-06-15
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Leaks after 2 years, continual replacement This was installed by our builder 6 years ago. I’ve had to replace the valve cartridge 6 times in 6 years, because it leaks. Delta gives us free replacement cartridges, which is helpful, but now the Allen nut that attaches the handle to the valve is jammed, so I can’t replace it anymore. It’s a plastic valve cartridge that wears out very quickly, and clearly a known issue for Delta, since they’ve sent me 5 replacement cartridges over the years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strong stream This Delta faucet has a very strong stream button which I love and it is somewhat easy to install. I live in CA so the water pressure is meh without twirling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great warranty and customer service! My previous Leland (2008) became hard to fix and after many parts replaced was still not working good and recently got a full replacement. Very happy with your Customer Service and warranty,
Date published: 2022-05-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy install, great magnetic docking. Have owned the Leland kitchen faucet for 3 years. It matches all the Leland faucets in my bathrooms. Could only cut off water from cold side. When cut off from middle or hot it would leak. Lived with it for 3 years and finally solved last week by replacing cartridge. Delta recommended flushing supply lines but my plumber felt cartridge would solve problem and it did. Sorry I waited so long to get it repaired. Delta has always provided great customer service and free replacement parts for all faucets and shower valves over the 16 years I have owned my home. I highly recommend Delta products.
Date published: 2022-05-08
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Faulty Design It is very difficult to get this faucet in the exact position where it doesn't drip. There are many reviews saying the same, and I am frankly baffled that there are so many 5 star reviews as well. Delta's response is to engage in a lengthy process to flush out the hot and cold lines. I had this faucet for about 9 months and finally threw it out. The faucet I replaced it with requires no such flushing and easily turns off without drips. In my opinion this faucet design is defective and should not be sold.
Date published: 2022-04-26
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nice looking faucet, but problems I have owned this faucet for about a year, and while it looks nice and seems to operate just fine, it is extremely difficult to get it in the off position where it will not drip. It has a tiny little spot where it doesn’t drip. We have weekend guests at our house and they commented how difficult it is to turn off the kitchen faucet without it dripping. I have thought for a long time about replacing it and their comment spurred me on to just ditch the thing. Life is too short to live with that faucet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this new faucet!! It’s perfect!! Durable and even looks nice.
Date published: 2022-04-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy installation Installation of faucet was easy. No leaks and everything worked the first time. Our first Delta faucet. Will invest in other Delta offerings going forward.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great item Love the looks and how it has spray and the water shield feature.
Date published: 2022-04-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great water pressure. I love the look and ease of use. Has great water pressure and the pull down spray is awesome. I have not totally got the hang of the water shield yet. Would recommend this to anyone replacing there facet.
Date published: 2022-04-05
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cheap plastic piece breaks. There is a piece of black plastic in the lever assembly with four tabs that hold the cylindrical trim on the lever snug to the counter, These tabs break easily. The plastic piece cannot be replaced without buying the entire expensive metal trim. Bad design. It costs upwards of $60 to replace the assembly just to fix a 10 cent piece of plastic. Delta does give the option of buying the cheap plastic insert.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Does not last Got with our new construction house. After 1 year it was hard to use the handle. Started to bind and also had to find the sweet spot to get water to stop dripping.

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
