Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great Like the faucet !!!!!!
Date published: 2020-08-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful Faucet Love this faucet. Wasn't sure about the high arch but I'm very happy with it. The Shieldspray Technology is awesome and the Spotshield Stainless finish is beautiful (no water spots and very smooth finish). I'm not sure about the Touch-clean Spray Hole technology -- I don't see anything happen with the "touch of a finger".

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Faucet we were in dire straights with an older, leaky faucet. We did the research and found this one to be among the highest recommended for our price point and, even though we had to wait a few extra weeks for assembly (covid related), we are super happy with the purchase. Only wish it had come with a matching soap dispenser.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great function and beautiful finish I bought this several months ago - it adds beauty to my sink in kitchen if my old farmhouse
Date published: 2020-08-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and functional I bought this for my remodeled kitchen. The profile and arctic stainless finish looks beautiful with my granite countertop. The faucet works perfectly as described.
Date published: 2020-08-17
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pleased with the magnetic lock of the nozzle end. The shut-off is a little touchy but it works when the handle is centered. The whole fixture is a little massive but well built is seems. Being a new owner, I can't comment on reliability or the finish holding up. I like the different spray options and the length of the pull out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great look and feel! Our new faucet adds such a great look to our kitchen remodel. I love the different spray options! I’d highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks good. Phenomenal spray options. Installed the faucet a week ago. Love the controls...smooth movement from cold to warm to hot and from trickle to full force.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful faucet I bought my faucet last week. I love it. It works really well. It’s so easy to turn on and off and to switch from hot to cold. It looks really great in my kitchen.
Date published: 2020-08-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features I bought this two weeks ago and love it. It has all the features I wanted. It has three spray features and great for spraying residue from pots and pans. The high sweeping faucet allows large pans to fit easily under for filling or cleaning. The finish is easy to clean and does show spots.
Date published: 2020-08-07
Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's good, not great. I purchased a month ago. The head of the sprayer needs to be twisted sometimes for the magnet to engage when placing it back in the pocket. And I also had a previous model and I like the full spray feature. This one is a partial spray.
Date published: 2020-08-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks and feel really nice This is our second Delta faucet, and we upgraded a little here. It feels so nice when you use it and it looks great in the Arctic finish. My plumbers all ( we had four of them around the house ) all said this is a really good faucet.
Date published: 2020-07-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth Action I bought the faucet based on its high rating, to replace one that I had first installed in our recently remodeled kitchen. It's handle was stiffening up after less than 6 months of use. Installation was fairly easy, though the PEX supply lines are quite stiff. Once in place it looks great; a good match for our new stainless steel appliances. Full water flow seems greater than with the old unit, and the handle action is super smooth. Looking forward to many years of reliable service.
Date published: 2020-07-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Touch feature is great! I bought this a few weeks ago and I’m so happy I paid a little extra for the touch model! I love it when I’m cooking in the kitchen and doing dishes. (The money I save on my water bill will make up for the extra I paid for touch feature in a couple of months probably.) Also easy to install, thanks to the included tool!
Date published: 2020-07-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features We like this faucet way, way better than what we previously had. It's very functional and is well constructed.
Date published: 2020-07-23
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great start, and then downhill I bought this in May, installed it and initially it worked flawlessly. In the last month, the action on the handle has deteriorated. When pulling from cold to off, the handle now "squeeks" and has an audible and wonky, uneven motion when closing the valve. It seems way too early for a maintenance issue with a brand new faucet but something isn't right with this Delta model.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from As expected Has been part of the transformation from a two bowl white sink to a single bowl black/bronze. The match is perfect and the faucet looks and works great. The instructions could be better and diagrams improved.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from This Faucet is Great...EXCEPT... This faucet is great EXCEPT two things. 1) The magnet has COMPLETELY RUSTED out in a little under four years. So, the faucet doesn't fit flush to the mount anymore. It is disappointing that Delta would manufacture a product that has constant contact with water without a barrier or seal for the magnet. Now, I'm constantly wiping rusted metal dust from around the faucet head. Even more disappointing is the fact that the replacement magnet is $43! That's completely overpriced for such a small component. Additionally, the limited lifetime warranty only applies to faucets purchased after 1/1/2019. It's as if Delta knows the part will FAIL. So, it started offering the warranty. 2) No matter how much I tighten the nut on the faucet, it leaks unless you position the handle a certain way. Very annoying. Delta...I used to appreciate the quality of your products. However, after owning this particular faucet, I now question it. I now have serious reservations about purchasing another Delta faucet as a replacement or recommending the faucet to any builders. The only reason I gave it three stars and not one is because I liked the faucet when it worked. I really expected better, Delta. This recent experience has been truly disappointing.

Date published: 2020-07-12
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.
Date published: 2020-07-10
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!
Date published: 2020-07-10
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
Date published: 2020-07-04
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.
Date published: 2020-07-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the 3 options of spray I bought this faucet 1 week ago very nice, and like the look

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Problem with the water flow... The faucet is just dripping from the head .. remove the head and try to clean.. work for 12 hrs and doing the same thing....

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. Here is a link to the part: https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP50815 Best Regards, Rosanna

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
