Nice faucet. Easy Install. October 24, 2009

Love this new faucet. Sleek and stylish. Magnetic seating of spray head is great. No more fumbling to reseat the spray head after use and it stays in place. Switching from spray to stream is easy with the large toggle-style button on the spray head.
Only one minor complaint is the faucet handle has a specific position that it must be in for the faucet to be completely off. (Or so it seems to me. Others in our household think I'm too fussy.) To be totally off, the handle must be pushed all the way up and in the center of its path of travel. If you're off a bit the faucet will drip a bit. Not a big deal but if you're rushing around the kitchen and hurriedly push the handle to the off position and don't get it exactly in the right spot you'll have a tiny drip. It's easily solved by just giving the handle a little nudge, so in no way is this a show stopper; it's just a minor thing to get used to. I guess I was spoiled by our old faucet, which was less fussy about this point, but was far more fussy about the spray head not staying in place, and switching from spray to stream could be a hassle due to the tiny buttons on the spray head.
Installation was easy and straight forward. The faucet comes with water supply lines already attached; no supply lines to buy separately. You just mount the faucet to the counter top and attach the supply lines. If you're mounting to solid surface counter tops it comes with everything needed. If you're mounting to laminate counter tops with a thin substrate, such as plywood, etc., you may need to order a "thin deck mounting aid" that's described in the instructions.
The instructions are fairly well written with several illustrations. There were a few extra items in the parts bag that weren't referenced in the instructions -- an extra washer that looks like it would go between the faucet and the counter top (there was already another washer on the faucet assembly) plus a few plastic pieces that I couldn't figure out what they were for. I put these items away for "safe keeping", which means I've now hidden them from myself. :-)
The hose that connects the spray head to the faucet assembly has a snap-fit connector instead of a screw-fit. This makes installation really easy. (Dare I say it? Installation is a snap!) No fumbling around on your back under the sink fighting with hose fittings and wrenches. There's a plastic clip that snaps over the snap-fit connector to hold the fitting together. Initially, I didn't realize what this clip did. In looking at the instructions, I thought the clip was used to limit the travel of the hose when you pulled down on the spray head, so I just picked an arbitrary spot on the hose and snapped on the clip. So . . . the first time I turned on the water the snap-fitting popped loose spraying water under the sink. I felt pretty stupid that I hadn't realized what the clip was for, but I immediately saw my mistake! I mopped up the mess, snapped the fitting back together and then snapped the clip over the fitting. Problem solved! I think the instructions could be a bit more clear on the purpose of this clip.
Overall, the installation was easy and the faucet is great. We are very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend it.
