We like the quality & style of this faucet. Simple mechanical valve to avoid the automation headaches of touch It has been in use for only about 16 days, so time will tell how well it will holdup.It replaces an over 15 year old Delta (several valve rebuilds along the way) that needed a new pullout faucet head, that is the sprayer & the parts were no longer available. This old faucet had the separate valve body that mounted to the counter top independent of the faucet, because of the asymmetrical sink design a typical faucet with a Escutcheon would not work. Faucet needed to be in the far right hole to reach the much larger side of the sinkThis seems to be a low flow/ water saver faucet. We find the flow adequate & are happy there is not so much flow that water splashes everywhere. However, it does take longer to fill the sink. This was not a surprise to me as other reviews had mentioned the low flow feature.While using the pullout sprayer, if your not careful, it is possible to “kink the water line” & interrupt the flow of water. This has only happened to me a couple of times, when raising the sprayer above the exit point of the pull-down faucet while trying to rinse a very tall item that was well above counter top height. All you need to do is extend the hose first, with your other hand if you want to hold the spraying head up above the faucet, exit point without kinking the water hose.Not that hard to install, if you are handy or experienced with replacing a faucet—> Faucet was direct mounted to our 1 1/4 (1.25) inch thick, stone countertop—> We decided to mount the faucet with the handle in the Center, closest to the sink. This way you can turn the water off with the back of your hand & keep the water dripping from your fingers over the sink. Instead of dripping water on to the counter top every time you touch the valve handle with wet hands.I Used – Westbrass 2″ Kitchen Sink Hole Cover, Stainless Steel, D202-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00403BXWC to seal the extra hole in the stone countertop – (great product see my review)The directions … they are not very good for non technical or those without experience changing faucets …. the directions are not custom to this faucet — You will need to figure-out which part of the universal directions apply / is closest to your faucet.The hardest parts?1) Removing the 15+ yr old faucet …. brass nut & brass threads of faucet were a bit crusty & the valve body above the counter started turning, As this was going to be scrap … I used vice-grip pliers & a thick rag against the backsplash to keep it from turning.2) Next was keeping that thin plastic base-plate centered, under the new faucet during the install as it kept moving. (poor design IMO) —> Delta needs to rethink that design — It Should snap into place & stay thereSteps – to install1a) Know where & how to turn off the water to the entire house & test that the valve works. If things go poorly you will want to know it works. The valves under the sink do not always work or stop all water flow. Stuff happens1b) If you have a well, know how to turn it off & how to valve off or drain the pressure.1c) Wear eye protection … stuff is going to fall in your face while your on your back & working under the sink2) Shut off water under sink & test that water does not come-out of the faucet. Always support the valve body while turning the valve handle, to keep stresses off of the pipe.3) With bucket or rags handy remove the waterlines to the old faucet. Expect 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to drain from the lines. Always support the valve body with a second wrench, while turning nut to water line to keep stresses off of the pipe.4) Install the faucet into the counter. Confirm the location & orientation of the faucet before your final tightening. Having a second person handy to check the final location, before you complete tightening the nut, helps limit the up/down trips, under the cabinet.5) Connect the water supply lines to the valve. Always support the valve body with a second wrench, while turning nut to water line to keep stresses off of the pipe.6) Flush the valve set, let some water (1 gallon should do) run through the Hot & Cold sides – catch what comes out of the faucet feed line, in a container.If you have a second person they can operate the faucet valve from above the counter. Solo install … Open the valve on faucet body, so hot & cold water will flow & then use the water supply valve under the sink to control the flow into your bucket.7) Install the sliding counter weight –> then make the connection to the pullout faucet —> Install the locking clip & test that it is locked8) Open water valves under sink. Always support the valve body while turning the valve handle, to keep stresses off of the pipe.9) Check for leaks, open valve on faucet & check flow & then look under counter & inspect for leaks againThings that Helped:—> I used the floor mats from the kitchen to make laying on the cabinet edge much more comfortable.—> I used the correct size of combination wrenches & a deep sock with extension & a ratchet drive, to speed up the install.—> To remove the old faucet, I used a basin wrench & vice-grip pliers to hold the old valve (from spinning) to get the nut off when the threads got a little tight. Brass threads to old faucet getting a little crusty in 15+ years was expected

I bought this model because it was the most affordable Touch2O model I could find at the time, despite being quite stylish. The most difficult part of this upgrade was removing my old faucet. The install instructions were clear, everything worked exactly as intended right out of the box and seems to be of good quality. My sink has 3 holes, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this model included a matching cover plate.I was initially worried that the touch feature might be unintuitive or gimmicky, but it’s quite the opposite. Turning on/off a faucet is something most of us do many many times a day and this genuinely improves the task. The faucet and handle also remain cleaner since you rarely need to touch them with your hands.As for my fears of accidently turning it on or off, they seem to be mostly without merit. The touch/hold feature solves most of the potential issues and in the unlikely event you do accidentally switch it on/off it can easily be tapped again.I could imagine a curious cat activating it with their nose though (It auto-shuts off after a few minutes).My only cons are that the downward facing veggie sprayer in a rigid tube is definitely inferior to my old, stand alone sprayer in terms of ease of use and mobility, and that the mix handle is quite short which makes precise adjustments to pressure and temperature more difficult compared to the large controls on my old faucet – however these complaints are true for really any faucet of this style. The latter issue is mostly alleviated by the touch sensor, as I rarely need to adjust the knob anyway.Update: I’ve had this faucet for about a year and a half. The low battery light finally came on for the first time. Your mileage will vary by use – but this was impressive to me. All the old batteries measured 1.17-1.19 V when removed and tested.Some more notes after living with this for a long time. Rarely, when I would attempt to turn it on, the light would turn on but the faucet wouldn’t run. I have very hard water, so maybe it has something to do with that, or maybe because the batteries were reaching the end of their life. Simply turning it off and on again always worked. Hopefully the fresh batteries resolve it. Not gonna knock off a star for that yet.The biggest con I can think of is that there isn’t really an effective way I can think of to trickle this faucet if you are worried about pipes freezing. It hasn’t been a problem for me so far, but this is something to consider for some people in very cold climates.The final note is that you get really used to this thing. When I go to other people’s houses I tend to tap on their faucets in a moment of confusion as nothing happens.

The price for this faucet was slightly better than anywhere else we looked. Its a nice looking faucet, and installs quite easily. It comes with this plastic wrench tool, kind of like an elongated socket, that you use to tighten the hex nut. The water supply lines go through it so it can slide up and back behind your sink, which was great for us because we got a new 19″ deep sink. The installation paper that came with it was very confusing, but we’ve installed a few faucets before so we were able to figure it out. It comes with the escutcheon plate for 3-hole configuration, but we only haf one hoke drilled in our counter so we didn’t use it. There’s a little thin plastic gasket that goes between the counter and the faucet. I was skeptic that it would make water tight and thought I’d need to use silicone, but once we got the faucet tightened properly, it does make a good seal. I poured water all around it and let it sit for a bit and no dripping underneath. The handle adjusts nicely and the temperature adjustment is good, and you can easily get to a middle warm temp. It doesn’t go straight to hot, so the mixer works well. The handle travels about 90 degrees, to coming straight toward you for hot and straight up and down for cold. It does not travel back behind the faucet struture. The pressure is very good! I find that I don’t end up turning it on full all the time. The button for switching between spray and stream is sturdy, and I like that it stays on the setting when you turn the faucet off. The pressure on the spray is also good, almost too much at full open valve so we’re getting used to nit turning it on all the way for most rinsing. But full open is great for getting goo off the dishes, and works well with our deep sink. We have a 32″ sink and the sprayer can travel to every inch of the sink, and even a ways outside the sink for filling a bucket or pot. I like the angle of the spray when the sprayer is docked, it sprays about in the middle of the sink. We got the matte black and it wipes down nicely, and dries without water spots. Fingerprints don’t really stick too much, but those that do wipe away easily. Our last delta pull-out faucet lasted 15 years between two owners. The only thing that went bad on that one was the sprayer, twice unfortunately, but the faucet itself never leaked. I’m hoping this one will last a long time as well. I really like the hook height too.

Our old kitchen faucet decided to go potty (under the sink) about 3 weeks before Christmas (’22). We have an older stainless steel sink with the 4 holes. We decided on this one specifically WITHOUT the touch feature (or any other electronics). The last thing I wanted to deal with was a faucet that turned on and off just because it was moved from one side to the other. We chose the Essa style because it looks elegant, yet simple. Additionally, we didn’t want a bunch of curves, fillagree, or flat surfaces to hold water (and also bacteria). This one is VERY easy to clean and looks as good as the day we bought it! We chose the Arctic chrome finish. INSTALLATION: I’m fairly handy and have some experience with home plumbing. This was not my 1st faucet install. Even still, this took roughly an hour to get it fully installed. Was fairly straightforward, but getting the base of the faucet tightened in a small space underneath and perfectly even up top was a little challenging. With my wife’s help up top, I was able to get it tightened up perfectly. They do provide fairly lengthy connection pipes that CAN be looped (an 8″ diameter is the max they recommend). There is roughly a 4′ long hose that connects the pull-down spout with a donut size and style weight that hangs below the faucet. The design and material lead me to believe there would be virtually zero wear even after several years. The weight provides the “pull” to bring the end of the faucet back up. There is a slight magnetic catch that holds the pull-down in place. We’re on a well, and our water pressure is set between 30-50psi. At the low end there’s not a lot coming out, but it’s certainly usable. We’re about to change that too and move it up to a 40-60psi pressure switch along with a new pressure tank (all that’s another story). The pull-down spout works great in the normal mode, but when switched to sprayer mode, water seems to bounce off the dishes almost everywhere. Maybe with a deeper sink, this would be better. We opted for a soap dispenser to fill in the 4th hole of the sink, but we chose the dispenser from a different Delta model to match the swooping flow of this faucet design. Overall, after a couple months of use, this faucet is outstanding! Highly recommend it.

I had been researching faucets for a few months and finally settled on the Delta Essa due to style, reviews, and value. The purchase on Amazon was less expensive than the big-box home improvement stores and with next day delivery so I ordered at 8:00 PM and Amazon delivered at 1:00 PM the next day. I also give credit to Amazon Warehouse deals for offering a Used-Like New faucet in perfect condition, just opened box, that saved $30.I have installed several faucets before, but in no way consider myself an expert. I have basic homeowner repair/installation skills and watch an instructional video before every project. That being said, I found the installation of this faucet straightforward with only two tools needed. A Phillips screwdriver was needed to tighten two screws and an adjustable wrench was needed to tighten the water supply lines. The kit came with a plastic tool to tighten the nut under the sink and everything else just connected by hand. It even came with 6 AA batteries for the touch sensor. Installation took me approximately 45 minutes, but could have been completed quicker if the underside of the sink wasn’t so difficult to access with a disposal in the way. Instructions with diagrams were generally easy to follow.The operation of the faucet is smooth with good flow. This isn’t one of those faucets with a wimpy water flow and it can be easily changed from a straight stream to a shower pattern with one flick of the switch. At first, the touch sensor operation didn’t seem to recognize the touch except on the handle. After a few minutes of just playing with it, the touch operation works flawlessly and recognizes every touch. You just need to keep the faucet in the ‘on’ position for the touch operation to work. Note that it won’t turn on/off by holding the faucet and only works by a touch/tap anywhere on the handle or faucet itself. The hot/cold light indicator is also a nice feature.I used to think the touch faucets were a silly gimmick that didn’t have any practical purpose. After using it for myself, I have found they are very convenient and prevent having to grab the handle with dirty hands and also prevents water from getting on the back splash area because you can tap off with wet hands. I found it convenient to turn on with a touch of the forearm when my hands were dirty after handling raw chicken.This is a five star product in style, functionality and value. You can purchase an optional adapter for the touch sensor so batteries don’t have to be replaced later, which Delta estimated would last two years. That is the only upgrade that I will be doing with the faucet. Overall I am very pleased with the product.Update 05/10/2020: This faucet has been installed for 5 months and 16 days and the batteries were replaced today. The indicator light started to flash when the faucet was turned on/off, giving the message that it was time to change the six AA batteries. We use the faucet often and the frequency of battery replacement probably also depends on the battery quality. I’d say six months give or take will be average for battery replacement. The two year battery life estimate from Delta seems to be a gross over exaggeration. We continue to be pleased with the overall performance of this faucet and maintain the five star review.

Between ordering the faucet and delivery, which took two days, I watched some videos on installing Delta Faucets. There were a few minor adjustments but nothing earth shattering. If you are a decent DIY then you should have no issues. The hardest part was getting the old faucet off.Things I did come across:I had to use the included plate for a three hole system. One of the plastic mounting nuts used to hold down the plate was missing. Thankfully since I was replacing a Delta, the old mounting nut fit the new plate.FYI…..You need two people at one point for installation. When tightening the faucet from under the sink someone will have to hold the faucet above and make sure it’s sitting correctly and straight. This part takes about 5 minutes. Other than that, it’s a one person job.I found the supply lines are not as flexible as the old ones and really had to play with the placement in order to have no obstructions under the cabinet. Everyone’s setup is different so this could be a non-issue.Total install from start to finish was 1hr and 50min. The first hour was getting the old faucet off. The new design will make the new faucet much easier to get off in the future. I placed the nut tightener in a zip lock bag, sliced a hole towards the top and slipped it over the cold water handle. That way I won’t lose it when I need to change it in the future.The drop down faucet hose is not as long as the older pullout model. We have a coffee machine off to the side and would use the pullout faucet to fill the reservoir. The pullout faucet would reach without any issues. The drop down faucet barley reaches the machine and I noticed the water flow is greatly reduced like the hose is pinched if not careful. All little things to figure out.As far as the functionality of the unit, it’s great. Love the look and style of the faucet. Water pressure is very good. Spray is tighter than the last model, which gives more power. Overall, so far we like it. If there are any issues in the near future, I will update this post.

I’ve wanted a Touch2O faucet for many years now, and my husband bought this for me to make it possible for me to use the kitchen faucet while recovering from surgery. I’m absolutely delighted by this faucet! It’s attractive, easy to use, and doesn’t retain fingerprints. I got used to it so quickly that I kept trying to turn my sister’s kitchen faucet on when I visited her just by touching it.The instructions could be a bit more clear, and it’s only slightly more difficult to install than Delta’s Lahara bathroom faucet. We ended up hiring a plumber to install this because we couldn’t disconnect the existing faucet from the under-sink pipes. If not for that problem, this actually would have installed fairly easily.Our bathroom faucet is motion-activated now, and that’s really made us wish for that feature in our kitchen faucet. So, our next kitchen faucet will be a Delta VoiceIQ!

What Great Kohler product,! I ordered it with touch on-off, and well worth it. If you’ve never had this option before it works great! You just don’t realize how much you turn off and on the faucet when your cooking have your hands full, simply touch it it’s on simply touch it it’s off is amazing!> Installation was good. I did it myself.*** NOTE: am not a plumber, but mechanically inclined. I did think about a plumber ….and then I had a free afternoon and I just decided to go after it, it took me longer to remove my old faucet that I did to install this one.*** NOTE: in removing your old faucet and you will need a special wrench that was not detailed in the instructions for removing the faucet that you can purchase at a home depot store.** One more recommendation , have at least one person helping you when you are under the sink this will expedite the installation tremendously. I did not have that luxury and had to be very creative, while at the same time working under the sink.**The Kohler faucet wrench is included. .Keep in mind workspace under low drop down to sinks.. it’s not easy if you’re an older gender.** I am impressed with the operation of this faucet. I would highly recommend it. The price was higher but well worth it! The old adage, is you get what you pay for! Kohler definitely dotted the I’s and crossing the T’s on this faucet design I highly recommend it!

I purchased this nearly 5 years ago and it’s been working perfectly. I replace the batteries once a year or a little more, on average – use larger batteries if you can as they will last very long. I’ve gotten so used to the touch operation that I’m always thrown for a loop whenever I visit another person’s house and instinctively try to tap it.The one gripe I have (and you’ll find this for anyone who has had this for a long time) is that the magnetic handle connection will, over time, rust out. This part is covered by Delta’s warranty and you should be able to have them replace it for free. If not, they do sell the magnetic replacement piece as well. I will be replacing this part for the first time now, though it started showing signs of needing replacement about a year ago.Beyond this, no issues whatsoever. Installation was as straightforward as it could have been, and it’s been a pleasure to use.

This is fabulous. We bought this for our renovation and it was beyond our expectations. We chose this because the sensor ones are finicky. this is PERFECT. we have saved so much water. Worth the money and saving water has become a huge habit so much that I wish they had these for bathrooms. bought another for granny flat!
