Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Kitchen Faucet!! Had it a week now and Love, Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from large and no fingerprints I have only had this faucet for a week. It is larger than the one I replaced. Love the fingerprint resistant finish. Worth it! Works great so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delta dawn...what's that faucet you got on? I installed this in a deep, single-well, hammered copper sink and absolutely love it. My wife picked it out. I'd have to say, she hit a homerun!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice sleek design kitchen faucet There us nothing about this faucet I do not like. Installation was a breeze no more than 10 minutes. I live the look and ease of use of the faucet and sprayer. The faucet compliments all the other stainless appliances in my kitchen and looks great w the blue backsplash and black granite counter top

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent kitchen faucet Installed a week ago & very proud we did! Modern look, easy operation & price was great. My most difficult thing was removing my old faucet. You need another set of hands to hold everything in place while tightening the new faucet in place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the Touch 20 feature! We've had our faucet installed 2 weeks now, and I love it! I love the Touch feature. When someone doesn't use the touch feature, then it messes you up the next time you want it on, so you need to train everyone in the house! I also like the pull down sprayer and how it clips back in so well. I am very happy with my purchase!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Average At Best We have had trouble with the faucet coming loose from the counter, the cartridge in the handle sticks making it difficult to use & the shut off area is so tight that it takes a bit to make sure its not dripping. I gave it 3 stars for excellent customer service follow up trying to help fix the issues. Faucet itself is more like 2 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful finish and easy to install. Installed this unit about two weeks ago and I consider myself a novice plumber ( Like, I know how to turn the water on and off ). The one issue I had to figure out was after flushing the lines I had very low water flow on the "Hot" side. I ended up watching a youtube video and learned how to take the unit handle apart. I found what I'll describe as small black rubber chunks lodged in the hot water side. I used a toothpick to pry them out ( about 5-6 of them) and put the handle back together. The water pressure is perfect. I chose this faucet because it has a 9" reach and the head is angled at about a 35 degree angle instead of shooting straight down. This specifically was what we wanted for our farm style sink.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it!! I had it installed this week and love it. First of all it looks beautiful. I really like the spray choices on the hose. The shield spray setting rinses dishes well without splashing water everywhere.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Faucet not working Just bought it last month, the pressure is so low that it’s hard to work with it, water pressure of the house is fine it’s only this faucet, can’t figure out the reason, it’s nerve wrecking
Date published: 2020-04-29
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Hot/Cold control When using the faucet at low flow it is next to impossible to adjust the handle to a position that provides warm water. The setting between scalding hot and cold is negligible. I’ve marked the valve body with an adjacent mark on the handle in what should be a neutral position. In this position at one point the water is cold, and in a second use the water is scalding.
Date published: 2020-04-16
Rated 2 out of 5 by from good but drips Looks good, but drips no matter how it is adjusted. Not Delta quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value This faucet operates well and looks very nice
Date published: 2020-04-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! We installed our faucet about 3 weeks ago. We love the faucet so far. I have a few quirks about it but nothing major. First, when i was installing it, there is small plastic tabs that go under it. Well trying to line up the faucet, i broke one of the tabs. They don't seem important but it did break. So if your installing yours be careful. the other thing is when you have the handle set to hot, it comes out slower than if its in the center position. If you try to get more pressure, you end up taking it out of the most hot position. Not a deal breaker for me. I haven't really used the shield spray that is on it. I don't really think it will work like they say but i cannot really comment on it. I do like the 2 different spray choices that i have though. Overall i think that this is a great faucet for the price. I hope that it will last a long time.

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
