This product is awesome. The positive reviews are correct. I don’t normally write reviews. But this product is just so good I had to share a positive review. It is very sturdy! I love to wash vegetables and lay them to dry on it as well as drying dishes. For the price you can’t beat it’s versatility.
Love the pressure of this baby the most. It’s clean and it was installed by contractor. There was a little leak initially so not sure if it was the plumbing hardware or just needed adjustment. Bottom line it’s beautiful💕
Gorgeous! Love the 2 tone gold and black. This is part of a set and came with the gold faucet. These elevated the kitchen and made it a center piece. I’ve always wanted the gold and black color scheme. Makes a huge pop to your kitchen. Easy up and down handle. Bold black color with a touch of gold accent. Smooth water flow. Highly recommended
This Faucet is beautiful and has great water pressure- love the touchless feature, the handle does always have to be in the on position in order to use, as some reviews have mentioned the actual faucet does unclip frequently, not a huge deal but can be annoying.
Standard faucet install, quick and easy. Looks really nice paired with the vessel sink. Over all it’s a nicely built faucet with a nice design. Definitely recommend it. It isn’t unreasonably loud, at least mine wasn’t. It fits nicely and if installed correctly it won’t leak. Mine came in great condition with no paint chips as some reviews have said.
To Kraus' credit, they are sending a new drain to me. But the cap looks like it's just glued on. The sink itself is very nice.
When I purchased this faucet in early December of 2018 there were only 5 or 6 reviews posted here for it, all of them 5 stars. I had it installed by our plumber so can't speak to ease of installation, but it didn't seem to give him any trouble. However, we both immediately noticed that the spray head would not retract on its own and had to be forcibly pushed back into the neck. This is our 4th single handle/one-hole faucet since my wife and I had our kitchen completely remodeled 15 years ago (more on that below) and none of the previous units had this problem. However, none were this tall either, as this unit rises almost 17" above the sink. The plumber and I tried numerous remedies, making sure there were no obstructions under the sink, switching the weight out with my previous faucet's, putting BOTH weights on the hose, etc. Nothing worked. You can see by my photo how the spray head just hangs in place after being pulled down and this holds true no matter how much or little it's been pulled out. I continued to experiment and eventually came to the conclusion that it was the shape of the faucet neck, i.e., its extensive downward length beyond the neck's apex, that was preventing the hose from retracting. In other words there is simply too much friction and physical resistance within the neck for the head to retract on its own. I note however, after skimming the now numerous reviews, that this doesn't seem to be a common problem, so now I'm not sure why we have this issue. Our other disappointments: 1) The spray head switch is supposed to revert the flow back to a solid stream after turning the faucet off in spray mode, but this began to intermittently fail almost immediately and by two months or so no longer worked at all. This was a feature we were really counting on. 2) I knew prior to purchasing there was no magnet where the spray head connects to the neck but now realize there needs to be, as the head simply refuses to stay snug against the neck and sags off up to 1/8" after turning off the water. This may be at least somewhat due to our retraction problems, but why not have a magnet to snap and hold the head in place? But hey, it's not all bad news for this faucet. Positives include its sleek appearance, the strength of the spray stream, smoothness of the solid stream, and precision volume and temperature control via the single handle. All really good features. One word of advice to anyone considering a single handle/single hole faucet versus the old-fashioned two handle models. When we remodeled 15 years ago the owner of the plumbing company we used insisted we simply HAD to have a single hole faucet. I was reluctant to install one as my fear was they were probably over-engineered, subject to parts failure and, basically, not simple mechanisms built to last. I should have trusted myself instead of the plumber. Here's the thing: Single handle faucets are full of tiny plastic parts that sooner or later will build up with calcium/mineral deposits and fail. Unless your home's water is exceptionally mineral free or filtered prior to reaching your kitchen sink, a single handle faucet's internal parts, in my experience at least, are eventually going to gum up and stop working. In our case this is happening far too often given what these faucets cost. Yes, the failed parts can be replaced, but unless you're going to make the diagnosis and effect the repairs yourself you may find it cheaper, as we have over the years, to simply replace the entire faucet. We're averaging a lifespan of only about 5 years on our single handle faucets, typically with diminishing functionality for the last year or more until we get so fed up we buy a new one. These faucets are really handy and sleek, but if you're budget-conscious and your water has some degree of mineral content (and ours is by no means considered unusually hard) my feeling is that simpler is better and functionality trumps style. Traditional two-handle faucets are less expensive to purchase and maintain, have fewer intricate parts, and are much simpler to repair. Maybe you'll have better luck than we have but it's something to consider, at least. Thanks!
Fits my Kraus Pax sink and Kitchenaid garbage disposal perfectly. As other reviewers have pointed out, the center Y piece pulls out very easily and you have full access to the disposal opening. You can choose not to use this piece if you don't want want to. We'll probably leave it out.
So far so good. Delivery was quick and it arrived undamaged.
I ordered black, not green. See my photo comparing black silicone and gray silicone next to their “black”
We purchased the Kraus GV-200 Irruption Red Glass Vessel Bathroom Sink, and we are not disappointed! It's a truly gorgeous color and just what we wanted. As some other reviews comment, there are some black markings inside the bowl, however, they do not distract from the elegance at all! The shiny reflections you see in my picture or merely from the lights above - the bowl is just a gorgeous red. We also ordered the farmhouse faucet recommended to go with the bowl - perfection!! Highly recommend the Krause brand !!
If you have to pay full price I'm not sure this is a bargain. The mechanism used to hold the bags is cumbersome and makes the opening smaller. I removed the yellow arms and cut down the center flange and just wrap the bag around the outside of the can it works great. Some have mentioned that the bag tears when they remove it. I just put some black electrical tape around the inside/top and have no problems.
This turned out great. It was also an item that said frequently returned. It looks and work great although the touch less feature doesn’t work. Too bad because we paid extra for it. As we understand it, it’s either manual or touch less, not both. But that’s the only downside. Just don’t buy the touch less option. Looks great in the new kitchen
Easy install and absolutely gorgeous faucet!
I really like this faucet, but couldn’t give it more than a three star because as soon as I installed, I noticed the extension hose does not line up with the bracket that holds it in place. Instead of going back in place and sitting snug, it hangs down a little bit and looks flimsy. I’m pretty sure this is a manufacturer defect because I’ve purchased more than one and my other one looks perfect but I’m pretty sure I’m outside of the return window. Otherwise, I do like the no touch nozzle, but admittedly, it’s not used that often.
