AS60BG Brushed Gold Brightly Kitchen Sink Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer Single Handle

We're are currently in a home that we plan to sell in the next 1-2 years, so when our current mid-range brass body faucet started acting up (OEM spray head discontinued) we didn't want to shell out $3-500 for a another that we'd wind up leaving behind. We were also wanting a unit that points as close as possible to straight down, as the previous faucet, which had a relatively large off-vertical angle, was getting quite annoying. This AguaStella faucet fits the bill. Works GREAT, looks GREAT, and is a GREAT value compared to even the mid-range name brand options.The faucet hoop is a bit thicker than expected, but it actually looks quite nice and the thin handle, which we thought might look a bit spindly, is actually fine.Construction is a bit unconventional - supply hoses are connected directly to the valve inside the body - no copper pipes in between. The main body is made from zinc alloy, which is more prone to corrosion and pitting over time than brass would be, so we're not expecting (or needing) this to be a "forever" faucet. All the internal materials - hoses, valve, aerator - seem to be quality components.Installation was typical, although the hoses could have been a couple inches longer - not a lot of slack under there. The hose connecting nuts are really thin and engage JUST enough - no excess treads for safety...but also no issues with leaks - they tightened right up. Snap-on hose weight works just fine and is just the right weight - not too light or heavy.In use, the output pressure is a bit high for our liking, so I switched out the 1.5 GPM aerator for a 1.2. Did the trick. Sprayer is unaffected by this change - it still works full line pressure blast.For those of you who haven't been able to find the elusive info, the warranty on this faucet is 2 years on the spray head and 5 years on the faucet body. There ARE aftermarket spray heads - both stainless and ABS - that are the same diameter as the original (30mm, I think), so getting a new spray head (usually what fails first) should not be an issue.We'll be watching how this faucet holds up and if we have good results and if push comes to shove (on the budget front) in our new home, we'll definitely consider AguaStella faucets for both the main and bar sinks!

AMAZING! So happy with this purchase! My plumber complemented its quality and ease of install. The finish is wonderful! Does not show water spots. Highly recommend. I actually ordered 3 various styles and brands and this was the winner! LOVE IT!

One can easily turn the goose neck during installation so that the on/off lever can either be on the side, OR, the front.

Everyone loves this. Its extremely heavy, the settings on it are amazing and i have not seen any staining or the gold chipping and i've had it for a few months nowCon: I do wish it came with a plate though.

Purchased to replace a worn out faucet. Product was easy to install and has performed above expectations. I would highly recommend this to anyone replacing a kitchen faucet.

In general, we like this faucet: it is a very sleek, modern-looking upgrade for your current kitchen sink faucet. The arc of the faucet is good and high, which should be more than enough to fill the tallest of kitchen pots, and the included hardware made installation a breeze.However the very things which define this faucet – being sleek and modern – are what give rise to its potential and real drawbacks, which cost it a star:1) As you'll probably note from the item's picture on its description page, the faucet's detachable spray head itself is rather small and slender: unlike many other current faucets, which have spray heads that are "flared out " and made larger to fit more ergonomically in the hand, this faucet's spray head has the same slender profile as the faucet itself. That could be both good and bad: users with smaller hands may appreciate it, but there are undoubtedly some who will find it not to their liking.2) The toggle button on the spray head which switches the water flow from stream to spray is pressure sensitive…that is, there must be enough water flowing through the faucet for the button to stay on "spray," otherwise you'll have to hold the button in the "toggle-down" position. Many other kitchen faucets now have something more akin to a button switch for activating this change, which give them an edge over this faucet. In addition, while the toggle button on this faucet appears be made of the same quality metal as the rest of the faucet, this button nevertheless gives the impression of something which could wear and tear easily, and possibly break over an extended period.3) The faucet handle (for activating the water) is actually little more than a straight metal "twig" in terms of size and shape: it is not as tall, thick, and/or "robust" as other faucets' handles. It feels strange in the hand, and honestly is an odd design choice: it could have been made a little thicker, at least, and while it appears solid enough right now, it, too, gives the impression of something which could wear and tear, and eventually break over an extended period.Another thing that may be worthy of note: we have noticed that our current faucets (which were likely bought at brick-and-mortar retailers) seem to have some sort of "regulator" or something which restricts waterflow somewhat as it comes out of your faucet. This faucet, like a couple of others available on Amazon we've ordered, doesn't appear to have that, so you'll want to take caution when you open your faucet up full blast: full blast is *exactly* what you're going to get! Some people may find that gratifying, but if you're used to less flow, it'll take some adjusting to get used to it.

You get what you pay for. This faucet is inexpensive and you get a cheap and poor quality product that will will not function well and will need to be replaced within 1 year. Ask your self: Do I want to pay under $200 annually plus install or pay more up front for something that will last years?

We installed this in our bus conversion. Looks SO good.
