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 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.

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 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.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from We Loved This But….. We absolutely loved this faucet - but 14 months in and it started to fail. We replaced the batteries, did a reset, now it barely comes on - there is no pressure, We checked all the things it could be to no avail so we had to put it back into manual mode. I read this on other reviews prior to purchasing but thought we’d get lucky. I should have known better.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from LELAND 9178-SS-DST Thank goodness for the lifetime warranty. I have had mine for about 10 years. After about 5 years the cartridge had to be replaced. A couple of years after that I started having problems with the nozzle button. It finally reached a point where it required massive effort to switch between spray and stream. That is when I called and asked for a replacement nozzle.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from 9178-DST Faucet leaking Bought this faucet because of the 'sprayshield' feature. Installed it about 8 months ago. It started to leak about 2 months ago and is getting progressively worse. For a kitchen faucet to be leaking in so short a time is totally unacceptable. P.S. I'm a retired retired mechanical engineer, so I know what I'm talking about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Leland Kitchen Faucet. Love it, love it! Perfect faucet - love the color and the slight shimmering of copper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delta 9178 review Pleased with the faucet. Online order efficient. Easy install for our plumber. Some negative reviews noted problems with the dock. Our plumber noted that the dock weight can easily be moved up and secured in a tight fitting under counter space like ours to make the docking efficient and crisp. We have had the faucet only couple of weeks but like it. Much better than the not too old similar, and expensive, Moen we replaced which had chronic leak and loose handle issues and very challenging to work on due to design of access to the handle mechanism.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Defective Product It is difficult to squeeze the handle to open the door. The key also does not work. It does not unlock. We have been using the dead bolt to lock the door. Can I exchange it as defective?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 9178 DST faucet This faucet is perfect height and ease of use for double sink. I am amazed at how easily it rotates. It looks fabulous and shows no fingerprints or stains. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to upgrade or replace their faucet with a more luxurious one, this is the one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Quality Faucet the Delta faucet is exactly what i expected in a quality faucet. It was easy to install and it works great. I would highly recommend the purchase of this faucet. It is well made and looks great on my kitchen sink.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very disappointed…seeking another faucet Loyal Delta customer here with a new kitchen and baths, all with Delta fixtures and the Leland faucet is not only disappointing, but beyond frustrating to use. Just installed by a licensed plumber a month ago, no big deal there, but I cringe when approaching the sink. I share all of the negative experiences as other users, same problem issues. Poor water shut off feature, very low water pressure, poor sprays resulting in a drenched countertop, flimsy hose, leaking, a disaster. I’ve tried all troubleshooting suggestions and I am just perplexed by the good reviews. Hoping to exchange it for something else. I’ve never had issues with Delta customer service, keeping fingers crossed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful faucet, good spray pressure. Highly recommend. Beautiful faucet. I was concerned it would be too tall, but it is perfect. It is the first faucet I've used with a magnetic dock for the spray. I am very impressed. I was worried because some of the reviews on these types of faucets were somewhat disconcerting. We have not had it very long, so time will tell if the hose will always retract properly, but at this point my husband and I are very pleased with this purchase. We chose Delta because that is what the plumber recommended. Since my sink had a hole for a separate sprayer I opted to purchase the coordinating soap dispenser. So happy I did.

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

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
