PRODUCT FEATURES
Touch it on. Touch it off. Whether you have two full hands or 10 messy fingers, Delta® Touch2O® Technology helps keep your faucet clean, even when your hands aren’t. A simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle with your wrist or forearm activates the flow of water at the temperature where your handle is set. The Delta TempSense™ LED light changes color to alert you to the water’s temperature and eliminate any possible surprises or discomfort. Delta® MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful integrated magnet to pull your faucet spray wand precisely into place and hold it there so it stays docked when not in use. Delta® SpotShield™ Technology helps to keep your faucet cleaner, longer by resisting water spots and fingerprints. Keep your space spotless with SpotShield Technology, available across a variety of finishes for the kitchen and bath. Delta® faucets with DIAMOND™ Seal Technology perform like new for life with a patented design which reduces leak points, is less hassle to install and lasts twice as long as the industry standard*.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is a good faucet. IThis is a good faucet and I would recommend it to a friend to purchase. The only problem I encountered was the handle was a little stiff to adjust the water temperature but that may be due to the fact it is brand new. I only purchased it about two weeks ago, otherwise I like the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this faucet I love this faucet and would definitely recommend it. It has been installed for two years so it has been used a lot. It is stylish, fits perfect in my country kitchen. The best part, however is the touch feature.. so nice when your hands are messy, you can turn it on with a slight tap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great faucet The Touch2.0 is really nice. We're so used to it now that we unthinkingly touch all the other faucets in the house until we remember we're not in the kitchen. At the base is a temeperature indicator so that when you turn the Hot on and it starts cold, you can watch the temperature rise to Hot. Excellent product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from This product does not work properly. We had faucet installed and after about a week the LED indicator will only show solid red. Doesn't matter where handle is located. It did work properly for about a week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the Touch20 technology and faucet performance. Installation was simple and easy. Although we have only enjoyed the installed faucet for two to three weeks, it has performed flawlessly and we don't miss the watery mess on the granite counter top around the base of our old faucet from operating the handle with wet hands. Installation was a breeze and took less than an hour. Hint: read the instructions thoroughly and do a "dress rehearsal" installation before hand on a carpeted surface to become familiar with components and how they fit together. Delta engineering has done a great job to minimize under sink connections. Highly recommend the Leland faucet with Touch20 technology

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Looks good in store but suspect quality We installed this faucet in July 2017 during a major kitchen renovation. Within a few weeks the push switch that toggles spray / stream began malfunctioning, allowing dribbling from the spray holes when stream is selected. This could be stopped in the beginning by using more force on the push switch but that no longer works and the dribble now cannot be stopped. I plan to call Delta for direction and will update this post. This is a beautiful faucet but the dribble is super irritating!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great technology but hose won't retract properly after 3 years due to corrosion inside the neck Bought this faucet for our new kitchen 3 years ago. In fact, Touch2O was not available until after our kitchen was finished but we chose to wait rather than put a different one in. For 2 1/2 years plus it worked great. Love the touch technology and have no issues with that. The problem is now the hose will not retract all the way to allow the magnets to reseat it. Started noticing it a little but you could push it up in the neck. A couple months have passed and it has worsened to the point it only is within a half inch or so (kinda hangs out). Touch2O still works fine just frustrating to not have it retract. if you look closely at picture, corrosion is visible on magnetic seat of sprayer head. For the price of this faucet, I would not expect it to have a functionality problem after 3 years. Have a very similar delta faucet in SS without Touch2O in our outdoor kitchen in Houston Texas humidity and after 5 years it still retracts and reseats fine.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Faucet leaks at handle, temp. indicator light only works sometimes It’s beautiful. It just doesn’t work very well. I’ve had mine for about a year and from the beginning the temperature light only functions occasionally. Sometimes it will come on even when the water isn’t running. Now, it’s leaking at the handle. I feel that a kitchen faucet should function without issue for a long time. I’m so disappointed by Delta, I’ve never had issue with their fixtures before. Try something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty much a one of a kind! We found many faucets that were either bronze yet didn't have touch technology or many with touch technology that were not bronze. This was literally the only one we found with all of the features we were looking for (including the high rise). It's been installed at our home for about one month now and we have no complaints. The looks and the usability are top notch and finished off our remodeled kitchen perfectly. 5 stars all the way!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Regret this purchase I got this faucet as part of a kitchen remodel. It dripped from the first day it was installed. After complaining to the store, a replacement faucet was ordered. The replacement faucet also drips. I paid a lot of money for the touch activation feature but now I can't use it because I have to manually turn off the faucet each time I use it. The touch activation feature is no good on this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from From Moen to Kohler and my final happy conclusion - D E L T A The plumber of 40 years had an issue installing the electrical part of the Touch2O Technology, however after speaking with the Delta customer service team, they thoroughly walked me through patiently and I was able to fix the issue that the plumber was unable to correct (particularly because of a language barrier, since he was a plumber from Cuba and didn't speak english and was unfamiliar with the Touch2O Technology.) All in all, I am extremely happy with the faucet. Now I want to look into replacing my (2) bathroom sinks and faucets with ONLY Delta appliances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We love our new Delta Leland faucet! The installation was easy, I did it myself. All the necessary components came with it, including batteries. I did install the optional ac power adapter, which saves the batteries in case of a power outage. The pull out sprayer with magnetic docking works very smoothly. The switch on the sprayer head to change from steady stream to spraying is a nice feature. LED temperature sensor light in the base is a great feature, too. allows you to see the water temperature without placing your hand in the water. The absolute best feature is the Touch2O technology. At first I didn't think we would use it that much, but I was wrong, we use it all the time. It is so handy. We have only had the faucet for a month, but so far it is working flawlessly and it adds the finishing touch to our kitchen.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Worked great for 1 week, then started leaking Got this high end faucet from Delta as part of a kitchen renovation. It worked beautifully for 1 week, but now when you touch it to turn it off it only slows to a trickle. I noticed that others have had this problem, but no solutions are listed. I would not recommend this faucet to others if it has problems after only a week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hands free.. Love it!! When I cook and my hands are all messy I just use my arm to turn on the faucet

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Can't get Touch technology to work. I purchased this faucet a month ago and couldn't wait to get it installed. I was so excited about it. I had one similar in my old house. Installation went off without a hitch. I helped the handyman at my apartment install it. Easy peasy. After attempting to troubleshoot several times and walking through all of the steps multiple times, we were still unable to get the Touch technology to work. There seems to be an issue with the wiring inside the little control box...almost as if the wires were reversed. If we move or touch the ground wire the light and faucet come on, but then I have to move or touch the ground wire again to turn it off. Occasionally the timer works and turns it off after 4 minutes as directions say, but sometimes it doesn't so I turn it off every time just in case. Hopefully there will be a way to jus exchange the control box so I don't have to totally reinstall the entire faucet again. Good Luck to all of you who arw in similar predicaments.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice design - poor functionality My plumber installed this as part of a kitchen remodel November 13, 2015. Within 6 months the LED red/blue guide quit working. I did replace the batteries at that time. Now the valve cartridge is no longer working as this past week the faucet started leaking non-stop so I must turn it off manually.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointing at this early point Our new kitchen faucet looks great. However, the solenoid provided with the unit was defective at the onset. Delta provided a new solenoid which I installed. I was not happy that I needed to replace the solenoid after some effort installing the new faucet. The significant disappointment came when the replacement solenoid failed as well. I am now waiting for a replacement and will need to again remove and reinstall a solenoid. It will be a total of 3 weeks that I initially installed the faucet and am still trying to get it to work properly with much effort uninstalling and installing replacement solenoids. My wife has lost confidence in the faucet and keeps telling me I made a bad decision in my choice of faucet. I would have returned the entire unit for credit if it wasn't so much effort installing it. Very disappointing indeed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply just nice and pleasant. In our seventies and we love all the features about this faucet to the point I'm looking at buying one for the bathroom. It was an easy install process without any drama or issues. It has worked flawlessly and we both have gotten use to the operation. Only wish there was a easy way to disable the auto touch feature for cleaning around the sink but no big deal.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from lovely looking faucet...but LED problems I just bought this faucet and had my plumber install it. it looks great however I am having trouble with the LED light. It only displays red :( I read on other reviews that the "software" had to be updated and something had gone out. My faucet is brand new...go figure. Help would be greatly appreciated. thank you,

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible water pressure This is definitely a "water efficient" faucet. I was unaware though that you would need to wash items 4 times as long in order to get them clean. There is extremely low water pressure in this and because of the lack of pressure it is creating clogs in the piping also that has never happened in 17 years. Had I known how low the pressure would be I never would have purchased this. I am now looking for a replacement and it is only about 1 week old.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the touch technology! Best invention ever I like to try new product and I love this faucet, I am going to purchase one for a bathroom lavatory next. The touch technology is the best invention ever.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not sure it was worth it To start off, I like the design, the pull out sprayer, the touch, etc. I really want to love this faucet but it has to many flaws. I had to replace the LED light and the solenoid all in the first month. Customer service was great and they actually tried to troubleshoot with me before sending me replacement parts. But, finding out parts are not working after professional installation, what a pain. It's not easy to take this back off to replace the LED light and I don't want to pay the plumber to come back out just to replace the one part. So, if everything is working correctly I would recommend this faucet. I would recommend plugging the LED light in and checking to make sure it works before tightening and final installation.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Delta Faucet 9178T-AR-DST Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Touch2O This faucet has worked well until now. All of a sudden we have leaking both below the sink and from the faucet itself. The leaking seems to come on somewhat slowly (after the sink has been on about 15 seconds). After trying to pinpoint the exact spot, we noticed multiple leaks: 1) at the top where the water sprays out of the head (it seems to trickle down from there--I'm guessing because it no longer fully clicks completely to maintain independence from spray to stream and vice versa), 2) at the mid-part of the faucet where it detaches and the hose is revealed, and 3) the water is either collecting or also leaking at the base where it meets the granite. I also noticed water underneath the sink in the cabinet space; enough to make me a little nervous changing the batteries. If that persists, mold is next. We need to either repair or replace the issues. Has anyone else had this problem?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We love the touch technology My husband and I never planned on having touch technology, but a sales rep highly recommended it. We have LOVED it!!! It's easy to use & is extremely handy when your hands are messy, which is almost always. The overall quality of the faucet is excellent. The magnet that keeps the retractable head attached is high quality & works great. We would highly recommend this faucet. That being said, we were very surprised & disappointed that the touch technology feature malfunctioned after only 4 months; whatever happened (the solenoid had to be replaced) not only affected the touch aspect, but the whole faucet malfunctioned---sometimes it would only trickle, sometimes not at all, then all of a sudden, it was full-strength for a minute before it trickled again. Customer service was excellent. The solenoid part was under warranty, but we did have to pay a plumber to install it. The plumber told us that, although the Delta faucet has a lifetime warranty (one reason we bought it), the solenoid' warranty is only 5 years & he said sometimes that affects the whole faucet's functioning. So that's a big disappointment to hear.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Turns off and on by itself We recently had a plumber to install this faucet and it looks beautiful; however, it often comes on by itself. The plumber came back and made adjustments. Now it "flickers" off and on at random times throughout the day.
Date published: 2017-03-04
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great design, and when it works - it's impressive! When this faucet works, it's really cool. I've started touching everyone's faucets thinking they will turn off/on like this one is SUPPOSED to do... We've had this faucet for about 18 months, but, now the water will not completely turn off with touch. We have to turn the faucet off manually. (The faucet thinks it is off, and will continue to trickle out water when it should be done.) Also, the blue light no longer works... It sounds silly, but why does the red light work, but not the blue one? I tried changing the batteries, and that didn't help anything.
Date published: 2017-02-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the touch, look, feel and the light that shows the temperature I love my touchless faucet. It is beautiful. Very functionalable. So easy to use. And reliable. I would recommend it to all my friends and family and would rate it has a top quality product that everyone would love.

Asked by: Spud
Hello Jill, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Touch2O Kitchen 9178T-SP-DST faucet is designed to only activate when touched. We recommend to turn the handle to the off position if leaving on vacation or for an extended period of time, but you can leave it on/open for day-to-day use. Best regards, Tanya

Hello Spectrum, Thank you for your question. We actually recommend you leave the batteries in the battery box while using the AC power adapter. It is recommended to keep it plug up due to the fact, if there is not enough power it will not work. Best regards, Tanya
