Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent features! Replaced my lower faucet with a high arc pull down faucet and it’s fabulous!
Date published: 2020-04-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by from The ability to move it to either side of our sink. We needed to replace our old faucet & we are so happy with this one.
Date published: 2020-04-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value, Good Quality For a DIYer like myself, I found the faucet to be of good quality, well built. Installation was fairly simple and the instructions were easy to follow.
Date published: 2020-03-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Product! The installation was pretty easy. I had to go back and reread the directions a few times, as I was not sure that the faucet should sit directly on the granite countertop, or if I should use the trim piece. It seems to work fine either way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Convenience I love my new faucet. Using all the different streams of water has made cleaning a breeze. The pull down feature sprayer is quite a convenience I use all the time. The sleekness of the faucet looks great with my sink.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product Bought about a month ago and was looking forward to the shield feature. The water had to be on with aperture goof pressure to work, but it still sprays all over when cleaning plates etc. Love the faucet but not happy with this feature
Date published: 2020-03-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to install Purchased in February 2020. This is the 2nd one of this model I have purchased ( 2 different houses). Like the 3 optional spray choices, pull out faucet to spray sink, And finish choices.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Temperature Adjustment: VERY DIFFICULT I bought this as part of my kitchen remodel about a month ago. I debated between a Moen faucet and this Leland by Delta. All those reviews that complained about how difficult it is to adjust the water temperature were spot on!!! There is a wide range for scalding your hands and a wide range for freezing off your fingers, but there is barely a range for nice, warm water for washing dishes or hands. All of the other features work fine and I do like the look of the faucet. But I would not purchase this again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install DIY, classic design, great price I originally had a Grohe faucet that after 5 years leaked. I paid over twice as much for that one compared to this Delta faucet which looks and works better than the Grohe faucet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great form and function! It looks great and the extra height keeps it out of our way when washing food and dishes. We love the pull out sprayer head.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST FAUCET EVER!!!!!! I bought this a couple of weeks ago and my son installed it for me. I did read the bad reviews first taking note of the need to finger tighten the product, during the shipping process, things may come loose. After checking what we could.... WE HAVE A WINNER!!! So beautiful and the functionality of the faucet is PERFECT! So very happy and highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great The faucet looks good with the new kitchen.
Date published: 2020-03-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great faucet! Just bought this to replace our old, leaky kitchen faucet. Love the size- it reaches farther into the sink than our previous one, so no more water splashing all over the counter. I also love the magnetic feature of the removable spout, so it sticks together no matter what. The three different streams are great. The only downside is that they are so fun, my preschoolers think the faucet is their own personal toy and want to play with it all the time! So much for the whole no-more-water-on-the-counter bonus ;o)

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not true to its word The spray shield isn't effective. It actually sprays all over. Also the hot/cold button popped right out. I would think for the price I paid, it would be better made. But it looks nice
Date published: 2020-02-22
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Would not buy again I find this difficult to shut off, has to be in a certain spot or it drips. The spray is not a full spray, it doesn’t switch easily when you want to shut spray off. I do love the finish, easy to keep clean.
Date published: 2020-02-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fine faucet One of the best selling faucets on Amazon and I found out why. I've installed faucets before and this was one of the best. It took me about 2 hours. Everything works silky smooth with a good volume of water. The magnetic spray head holding system works smoothly yet holds securely, and the stainless finish matches my sink well. A well designed faucet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love It Replaced the faucet I had for 14 years, I absolutely love this one. It is so easy to use and the hot water comes in so much faster. Love it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality - excellent I purchased this item for a replacement for my kitchen sink. This is a wonderful improvement. The pull-down works great, the lever is great, it is just a great product.

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

fawcet is leaking do you have repair kit

Asked by: tttt
Hi, tttt! Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a leak from your Delta faucet. There is a bonnet nut that is holding the cartridge down, underneath your handle. We recommend to tighten the bonnet nut to stop the leak. To do this, turn the water off at your shut off valve. Remove the handle. Pull the cartridge out to clean the bottom puck of the cartridge. Reinstall the cartridge assembly. Tighten the bonnet by turning clockwise, to the right. Install the handle back on and turn the water back on. Test the faucet. If the faucet still leaks, we recommend to replace both the valve cartridge assembly, RP50587, and the bonnet nut, RP51503. Best Regards, Rosanna

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

I have the Delta Leland touch faucet 9178 TAR DST. Can it still work when the batteries go dead

Asked by: LID
Hi LID, Thank you for your question! The light will flash red when the batteries are low. You can remove the batteries while the water is running to switch to manual mode. You can also turn the faucet off with the handle, disconnect the solenoid, and connect the hose directly to the faucet to bypass the solenoid. Best regards, Jon

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

I plan to replace my kitchen faucet with the Leland 9178-AR-DST. The 9178 spec sheet indicates that the temperature handle movement is from centerline of the body away from the sink. The Q&A seems to contradict this. Please clarify?

Asked by: TomA1
Hello TomA1, Thank you for your question. The handle of the Delta Leland Pull-down Kitchen 9178-AR-DST faucet operates by moving/pushing it away/outwards from the faucet to turn on the cold water. Rotating the handle towards the back to adjust for warm and hot water. Best regards, Tanya
