Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST FAUCET EVER!!!!!! I bought this a couple of weeks ago and my son installed it for me. I did read the bad reviews first taking note of the need to finger tighten the product, during the shipping process, things may come loose. After checking what we could.... WE HAVE A WINNER!!! So beautiful and the functionality of the faucet is PERFECT! So very happy and highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great faucet! Just bought this to replace our old, leaky kitchen faucet. Love the size- it reaches farther into the sink than our previous one, so no more water splashing all over the counter. I also love the magnetic feature of the removable spout, so it sticks together no matter what. The three different streams are great. The only downside is that they are so fun, my preschoolers think the faucet is their own personal toy and want to play with it all the time! So much for the whole no-more-water-on-the-counter bonus ;o)

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not true to its word The spray shield isn't effective. It actually sprays all over. Also the hot/cold button popped right out. I would think for the price I paid, it would be better made. But it looks nice
Date published: 2020-02-22
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Would not buy again I find this difficult to shut off, has to be in a certain spot or it drips. The spray is not a full spray, it doesn’t switch easily when you want to shut spray off. I do love the finish, easy to keep clean.
Date published: 2020-02-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fine faucet One of the best selling faucets on Amazon and I found out why. I've installed faucets before and this was one of the best. It took me about 2 hours. Everything works silky smooth with a good volume of water. The magnetic spray head holding system works smoothly yet holds securely, and the stainless finish matches my sink well. A well designed faucet.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Low PSI ? Very pretty and solid. Easy installation. My house psi may be too low for the spray ring when I pull sprayer out. Better results on spray and stream. Love the no smudge stainless.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sleek looking and functional It works well so far and looks good. Ordered it online and it arrived on time.
Date published: 2020-02-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Splash guard works ok and other modes work great The splash guard means you have to be pretty close to the surface you are cleaning. It does help prevent splash but it isn't perfect - though I cannot see how it would be and maintain the power the small jet does actually have. It was easy to install. I did have a slight leak (2 drips an hour) but this was easily found and easily tightened to resolve.

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
