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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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?
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

What should the hole size in the counter be for a 9178-SP-DST
Thank you for your question, Bobby! We recommend a hole size of 1 3/8". Please refer to the Technical Specifications for this and other measurements:

We have Frigidaire's Gallery series stainless steel appliances in our kitchen (Like this: https://www.frigidaire.com/Kitchen-Appliances/Refrigerators/French-Door-Refrigerator/FGHB2868TF/). Will the Arctic Stainless or Spotshield Stainless match better?
Hi, agolin!
Thank you for your question. Arctic Stainless is a brushed finish like Stainless Steel. Over the years, the color of stainless steel used on appliances and sinks has migrated from warmer tones, with more red in the color spectrum, to lighter tones where blue is more predominant. Arctic Stainless features cooler metallic tones, following a trend seen throughout the kitchen. Stainless Steel is has warmer tones, similar to brushed nickel.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

Hi. A new water meter was just installed at my home and I've lost prssure in my kitchen faucet. The City said I need to remove the aerator and rinse it, but I can't see how to remove that. The pressure is low on all three of the settings. Can you help me?
Hi, Maritxu!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9178-SP-DST faucet sprayer aerator assembly can be removed with an aerator wrench. The aerator wrench kit is part number RP50815. Here is a link to the part:

I have questions about the Delta Leland kitchen faucet. First, what is the difference between arctic stainless and spot shield stainless? Which one is more likely to match the color of a basic stainless sink? Does the handle move forward and backward?
Hi, Mello!
Thank you for your question. Arctic Stainless is a brushed finish like Stainless Steel. Over the years, the color of stainless steel used on appliances and sinks has migrated from warmer tones, with more red in the color spectrum, to lighter tones where blue is more predominant. Arctic Stainless features cooler metallic tones, following a trend seen throughout the kitchen. SpotShield Stainless is a spot-resistant, warm, low-gloss finish with warmer tones, similar to brushed nickel.
The Delta 9178-SP-DST Faucet handle rotates forward for hot water.

Rosanna

Is this faucet manufactured in the USA?
Thank you for your question, LeeB! We're proud to manufacture most of our products at our plants in Jackson TN, Morgantown KY, Lapeer MI, and Greensburg, IN. The location information on the back of the box will tell you where each specific model was made.

Our old faucet is 2 handle and spout. Will the eschelon cover the old holes? Also is there a plug for where the old sprayer is?
Home Depot has hole covers. Less than $5.00
Date published: 2024-03-28
When searching this model on the online sites they do not indicate the sprayshield technology - when was it introduced on this model and how do ensure I get one with this feature if I place an order with them? Thanks
Hello, Cloogs. Thank you for your question! The ShieldSpray version began shipping in December of 2017. Please check with the vendor to ensure that they are offering the version with ShieldSpray. The product description should indicate if the faucet will have this feature.
Best regards, Jon
