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 Love the Design & Ease of Use & Quality I bought this approx. 9+ years ago and it has serviced us well. It's so easy to use. The only issue we've had was about a yr. ago, water was dripping. We didn't know it had a cartridge. After speaking with St. Tammany Supply where we purchased, we were told it probably needed a replacement cartridge. The recommended a plumber and the same day, he came out and replaced for us. Probably could do it ourselves when needed. The first one lasted about 8+ yrs. - Found out on other bathroom faucets there's a key to remove strainer for cleaning. Today, checking with St.Tammany Supply, they had a key for the bathroom faucets. Wow worked like a jewel. No more toothbrushes to try to clean upside down. Hopefully, there's a key for this one, if not, will have to check assembly. Hats off to Delta. Ours looks as good as the day they were installed with the Nickle finish.

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 3 out of 5 by from Not old school Delta Works well but every 2 years you get to write them a request a new valve cartridge. Maybe not a big deal to some but after a while you wish they would use less plastic in these internal parts. Finish is holding up well

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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Two Glaring Weaknesses 1. The "sleeve assembly" for the handle includes an incredibly cheap/weak plastic piece that breaks easily and results in non-ability to properly secure the assembly to the countertop. Check reviews for RP51481 and see for yourself. 2. Plan on going through multiple cartridges. Again, check on reviews of RP50587.

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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not happy with this faucet This faucet is very difficult to get the water to turn off. The handle has to be in the exact right position or the faucet drips. Now, the head of the faucet is having issues and the water flow is not coming out as strongly as it should be. It is also difficult to get the water temperature correct. I would have returned it if it wasn't so difficult to install.

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?

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

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?

Asked by: agolin
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?

Asked by: Maritxu
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.

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?

Asked by: mello
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. Best Regards, Rosanna

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 

Asked by: Cloogs
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
