Touchless Delta Faucet
Getting ready to install the Touchless Kitchen Faucet. I am intrigued by the design and hope it is easy to use. It looks like it has a good size for the water stream and I e never had any problem with maintenance or care of a Delta Faucet. They last a long time. I’m only replacing mine because this is an upgrade.

Nice quality faucet with cool touchless feature and splashless rinse feature
Love this faucet. Seems heavy and sturdy out of the box. Doesn’t feel like some of those cheap faucets you see. Was easy enough to install although a video guide would have been helpful. The water flow and pressure is excellent compared to my last faucet. The faucet has three spray modes. I love the low splash mode. It cuts out the splashing when rinsing silverware or cups. The touch feature is neat at first but I don’t use it very often. Good for when you are cooking and want to wash your hands moving quickly. It also has a light on it that tells you when it’s activated and is blue for cold, purple for warm and red for hot water.

Easy to install and great to use
The installation was super easy. With removal of the old faucet and install of the new it only took about an hour. The water flow is very high pressure and I love the jet wash feature for stubborn dishes!

Seriously love it!
I just opened the package and I am already in love. I love that it came WiTH batteries included! That never happens anymore. This faucet is made of a strong and sturdy material. I haven't installed it yet so I can't say how easy that is but look how much bigger it is than the old one! It hangs so much higher over the sink giving way more room!

The only faucet I will own.
These Delta faucets are the best I have found. This is my second tap/touch less faucet. I have one on my laundry room sink and this one is for my new kitchen. A purchase you won't regret.

Touchless faucet
This is the best kitchen faucet I have ever owned. First of all, its touchless. As you can see from my video, it works really well. Also it looks simple but elegant. And it’s very easy to install. I don’t think I can’t go back to my old faucet. I’m loving this touchless technology.

Gorgeous and works great.
I have 2 kitchens in the house plus a sink in the laundry room all have Delta’s faucets. What I love the most is modern convenience with touch echnology. Super easy to install . The Touch2O Technology is a standout feature, allowing for hands-free operation with a simple touch anywhere on the faucet or handle. This has been particularly handy when my hands are full or dirty while cooking, and the responsiveness of the touch function is impressive. I’m a fan of Delta’s for sure :)

Correct Installation is important.
It looks good and works well, once we got the installation tweaked. It kept stopping the first few days and the plumber had to return to adjust something under the sink.

Sooo sleek and amazing!
We received the black kitchen faucet which was perfect for renovation. The installation process wasn’t too hard for my husband to put together because that’s his thing. At first the water pressure wasn’t coming on too hard and we were confused but, it turned out lovely!

The handle, spout, and base are all the tap areas to turn off and on
I love this so much that I've literally washed dishes in my sink although I have a dishwasher. I enjoyed experimenting with it. It took 30 minutes to uninstall my recent faucet to install my new Delta Leland Pulldown Kitchen Touchless+Touch Faucet. It's also Touchless so you can generally use it 3 ways. It has 3 different spray settings, solid Stream, shower spray, and pressure stream and Rinse spray. LED light shows 3 settings purple blue and red. So easy to use. 10 out of 10 hands down! This will look so beautiful when I get my granite countertops installed. I can't wait to show off this beautiful faucet. If you're debating on faucets, this is the best one I've ever had and I've tried, used, and had several expensive and inexpensive! Installation was really easy. Foolproof directions step by step long hose connectors, it even came with its own tools for installation.

The best faucet!
I absolutely love this faucet! I feel like there's a bit more room to move around (doing dishes) than with my old faucet, I kept bumping it. Very sturdy, I love that I can switch between the spray and solid stream. The magnetic connector for the head is wonderful! I love it so much!

Handsfree hand washing at it's finest!
The Delta Leland Touchless Touch Faucet is a dream! On first impression, it is beautiful! The Black finish looks amazing iwith my stainless sink. This is a very sturdy faucet. It is a simple standard install and fits multiple configurations. The instructions are thorough and easy to follow. I especially like that it came with all the batteries you need to operate. If you've installed a faucet before, you shouldn't have any issues. I love the handsfree touchless feature. It makes your whole kitchen cleaner! Being able to wash your hands while cooking without "wristing" the handles and getting everything dirty, is a dream! If you're on the fence about this faucet, do it! This is a very modern and sleek looking faucet. It comes in several finishes and will coordinate with any decor. It also has a manufacturer's warranty so if any issues arise, you should be covered.

This is one of the high end finishes of our kitchen and we absolutely love it. The black matte is so sleek/complements our stainless appliances. It’s well made/sturdy and works perfectly. I’ve never had such a high tech faucet before and it is now a must-have in our home. Worth every penny.

Beautiful faucet with added features
I haven’t installed it yet, but I can already tell it is high quality. The instructions seem easy and I am excited about all of the features. The design is timeless and would go in pretty much any kitchen. My only complaint so far is that it appears it has to be battery powered? I would prefer if there was a plug in option as I have an outlet below my sink.

Doesn’t work if you have extra water accessories such as a reverse osmosis system.
I was going to give this a four star because it looks super cheap because of how I had to install it. But I’m giving it a five because if you don’t have a reverse osmosis water system like I do you probably won’t have the same issues. Installation was horrible and I had to cut the top plate in half in order to put in on and I had to cut the bottom off in order to install my faucet for my reverse osmosis system. Other than that I love it, it doesn’t require that you touch it to turn it on. It tells you the temperature of the water before you touch it. If it had an extra hole in the plate it would be the most perfect faucet ever made. Ps it takes batteries. 6 AA or 6 C.

First off I am so shocked I even qualify for the sample. Who doesn’t want a touchless touch faucet very expensive, so I am so happy that this was a free product from influenza in return for my honest review. Soon as I open the box luxury that’s all I can think I live in apartment, so this was the last thing I expected. I just got a remind myself to take this out this apartment when I leave this apartment installation easy ask my maintenance guy to help me and it’s very good if anything I will update this post.

Excellent choice for a kitchen faucet
I got to try this faucet via influencer, and I have to say it's awesome. I love how easy it is to install and get just right. One other thing I was surprised and delighted was .. you can actually set the sensitivity for the touchless option or even turn it off completely if you're so inclined. All around, I gotta say I really like it. It is so beautiful and elegant, and it has a lifetime guarantee, so do yourself a favor and get this one. it's so worth it .

How do i locate the set screw on the faucet handle. It may be under the little insert with the hot and cold labels> If so, how do I remove the hot and cold label?
Is this model made of zinc or brass? The WIDE range of prices for this exact model make me wonder if some are zinc and some or brass, and I've read zinc some places and brass others. Please advise
Hi 6th grade teacher,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 9178TL-RB-DST.
A price range may depend on whether different models have Touch2O or Touch2O with touchless technology.
The faucet includes both brass and zinc parts. The handle is a zinc-based metal and the bonnet nut is brass. In our faucets with Diamon Seal Technology, the water does not come into contact with metals inside the faucet.
Please reach out with any additional questions!
