Rated 4 out of 5 by from High quality Purchased about two weeks ago, excellent faucet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Faucet The faucet's design allow plenty of space for large pots. I like the handle on the side. I don't drip water everywhere when I turn the water off like my other one. The sprayer is small and not cumbersome to use. Very happy with my new faucet.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice faucet Installed 2 weeks ago, so far very satisfied. Only drawback is that the pullout seems a little hard to pull.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful design and features We have had this faucet for a month. It was easy to install, but even better is the beautiful design, “splashless” and forceful spray, and truly stainless and spotless finish. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Attractive and So Functional We bought this as part of a kitchen re-do. It goes so well with our dark stainless steel appliances and brushed nickel door hardware. We love the variety of streams / sprays available. Being able to use the head as a hand sprayer is very convenient. And the ease of regulating the water flow fate proves very handy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great flow, great system, easy to install We hated the faucet that came with our house. I did some research and found that Detla is an amazing brand with no leakage or failure issues. We bought this faucet and I installed it myself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Faucet We purchased this as our new addition to our kitchen remodel and we couldn’t be happier. it was easy to install and functions wonderfully. We love the water pressure this faucet gives us and the sprayer functions allows us to always get our dishes clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features and looks great, wife loves it i would buy a Delta faucet again. solid product
Date published: 2020-09-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality product I purchased this a little while ago for a counter and sink remodel. I spent quite a bit of time sorting through reviews and finally came back to Delta. I’ve had Delta products exclusively in my home for 28 years and they have stood behind every faucet I own. This faucet has great extension for our oversized sink, and the pressures are spot on for filling pots, rinsing loose food and the spot high pressure jet with the spray shield works really well too. Installation keeps getting easier, I literally installed this in less than 10 minutes. No leaks and well thought out. I passed on several “commercial” style units because they look good when they aren’t in use, but lack in many areas during use. I’m picky on a focal piece of plumbing and I am happy to say this has met all my needs and expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful features I recently had this installed and I am thoroughly enjoying different sprays, flexibility of the long spray wand, and only having to wipe around one fixture.
Date published: 2020-08-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love It!! I've had this faucet since March and LOVE it! The magnetic sprayer works well and goes back into the faucet perfectly. Highly recommended.

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".
Date published: 2020-08-21
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 used as a ro faucet. Working like it should. Own it for about a month. Works well with our ro system. Cleans easily.

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.
Date published: 2020-08-15
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.
Date published: 2020-08-15
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.

Q&A

This picture shows that it toggles to spray, so just making sure it does?

Asked by: Lorrie
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 9978-DST does switch from spray to stream.

I would like to take off the faucet head because it has begun to spray - I assume build up is inside the head. I see the little piece you can push in but it doesn't want to come apart from the hose easily. Is there a trick to take the head off?

Asked by: Christy
Hello Chritsy, Thank you for your inquiry! The wand/sprayer assembly of the Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 978-AR-DST faucet, an be remove by simply unscrewing it from the end of the hose assembly. This should be done by hand only. Best regards, Tanya

The spec indicates a min clearance of 2.5 inches from center of hole for faucet to backsplash. I only have 2 inches.  Why is 2.5 inches needed since the handle goes forward and not back? Will 2 inches work? 

Asked by: Bridget
Thank you for your question, Bridget! The minimum clearance to the back splash is typically suggested for lavatory models with lift rods or for models where the handle does reach backwards. This is still suggested for maximum comfort and ease of use with the handle; however this model can still work with only 2". Best regards, Edward

I see where you have answered the question about the difference between Model 9178 and 9678. What is the difference between those and Model 19978?

Asked by: Kathy61
Hello Kathy 61, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Pull-Down 19978-SS-DST faucet is a Home Depot exclusive model and it is similar to the Leland 9178-AR-DST faucet. However, the 9178-AR-DST is designed with the ShieldSpray feature and the 19978-SS-DST model is not. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya

What is the tubing for the pull-out spray made of? I am concerned about the materials as the drinking water is now being consumed from this spray.

Does arctic stainless water spot?

Asked by: Melody
Hi, Melody! Thank you for your question. The 9178-AR-DST Arctic Stainless will show water spots. We recommend to wipe clean with a soft towel. If you should need something stronger, we recommend 50% white vinegar and 50% water solution to clean. Best Regards, Rosanna
