Beautiful faucet
Bought this beautiful faucet to go with a new sink and countertops. Wen the countertops were installed at first was unsure of my decision , but the moment the faucet was installed I loved it ! The faucet is y favorite part of the kitchen remodel so far. My granddaughter saw it she is 10 and said" Nana I want this in my house ". Didn't say a word about the countertops.

    Overall, this is a very good "solid" kitchen faucet. The satin-silver finish looks as good in person as it does on the site. This faucet has a nice quality feel (good "heft") the handle alone is quite substantial, as is the base and detachable (corded) spout. The spout offers different water projection options-a nice feature. Installation was VERY straight forward (even those with little or NO experience should have no trouble). All components fit together very well. Two minor issues that are really NON-ISSUES (more personnel taste/opinion really): 1) There are two "fine screen filters" within the black "capsule spout" (inside the finished spout). The first screen (to come in contact with water-not seen at the end of the spout) was so fine in fact, that it actually slightly reduced my water pressure (even at 35-45psi). I ALWAYS want MAX water pressure (which I can regulate with the handle) so I simply removed that filter; as it was VERY easy to do. 2) The magnetic "connect" between the spout and the curved neck works VERY well-these are very strong magnets-a bit too strong perhaps. But nothing about this faucet is a "deal breaker." I really like it (been using it now for about 3 weeks) and of course it operates flawlessly. Good job Delta!

    I have had this faucet for about 2 months. I did exhaustive research before I chose it for my kitchen remodel as I am particular that way. Didn’t want to make a costly mistake. I volunteer at a hospital hotel where their kitchen has 3 of them and they have held up to tremendous use for 3 years (supposedly 9 years of regular home use). Anyway the only negative I found is that the base does show some water spots, but I’m ok with wiping them off. Water pressure is great, can definitely switch between cold, warm and hot water. I didn’t install, so I can’t comment on that. Looks great. Plenty of room in front and back. Good size. Water stream falls in the middle of the sink. I’m not very good at using the Shield Spray feature and don’t really see the need for it, but maybe I’ll learn. Overall I love this faucet and would purchase again.

      Just received yesterday, installed today... Shipped from CA and took a week to reach me in NM. Easy to install, not a lot of room under my sink, recommend using a Basin Wrench vice the plastic wrench that comes with the Leland to tighten faucet to counter top. Looks great, works great.... Worth the money, Delta faucets are top of the line, the Moen faucet I had only lasted 1 1/2 years. This Leland is highly recommended!

        Love, Love, Love This Faucet! We did a lot of research on water flow because our other faucet by another company (that we bought just for looks in 2008) was horrible. We had always bought Delta faucets. We have never had a problem with Delta faucets, their customer service, warranty department, and products. So after researching all they had out there in pull down chrome faucets, we bought this one. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! We are in our 50's so we miss the no regulation water flow. But with the restrictions, this one has plenty of flow. We highly recommend it. The shield spray feature is amazing! Don't need a scrubber to get stuck on food off of plates! We love the style. The handle is beautiful and easy to use. No little stick on the side like on others to turn the water on and off. The Magna Tite feature is amazing. Holds it in place. With a little turn the strong magnets depolarize and the spray pulls down with ease. Thank you Delta for continuing to make great products!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! We are in our 50's so we miss the no regulation water flow. But with the restrictions, this one has plenty of flow. We highly recommend it. The shield spray feature still spritzes, so we don't think we will use that. If we need a stream that hard we will just use a sponge to get the food off the plate. But other people may love it. But the regular flow and spray are great which is what we were looking for. Plus the style is so nice. Handle is beautiful and easy to use. No little stick on the side like on others to turn the water on and off. The Magna Tite feature is amazing. Holds it in place.

            I have only had the faucet for a week so I cannot speak to how well it will hold up. It does feel very well made. I did hire a plumber to install it and after watching him work for an hour and being contorted under the sink, I know it was worth the cost. We positioned the handle to the right side and that has been very convenient since I am right handed. It takes a bit getting used to the goose neck sticking up so high, but that also means it is very easy to move pots below the flow of the water. I debated about going "modern" but am very happy that I did. The pull-down sprayer is so convenient --I no longer have to jiggle and fool with the sprayer hose which used to get stuck under the sink when I pulled it up to use it. The water spray may splatter more than your old faucet since it is falling from a higher distance, but you learn how to be careful quickly. If you do have a separate sprayer to the right of the faucet, you will need to buy a separate metal plug piece to cover the hole when you remove that sprayer. So far I would definitely recommend this faucet. It was out of stock originally but Home Depot kept me informed of availability and I was able to pick it up at my local store.

            1. This faucet is bigger than you'd imagine. Go see it in person before deciding 2. The touch feature is great, but it does shut off on its own occassionally 3. The fiber optic that leads to the LED temperature display is fragile--broke upon installation and had to be replaced. It's also a useless feature--who doesn't stick their hand in the water to feel what the temperature is? I now need an LED display for this? 4. The "splash guard" is another useless feature, mostly because the so-called "power" spray is like two holes in the middle of the four-quadrant flow head. FYI, Delta, you need more than two tiny holes to power something off a plTE--oh and that's what scrub sponges and dishwashers are for. 5. This would be a much better faucet if they'd eliminate the splash guard/power spray feature--these take up so much real estate in the flow head, that the actual straight water flow and spray modes lack in volume compared to a "featureless" faucet head.

                    A Real Looker
                    Recently upgraded my kitchen and added granite counter tops (Ubatuba granite is black with various colors mixed in) so I wanted a cool brushed nickel one hole faucet. The handle was supposed to go on the side, but because it was a tight fit my plumber put the handle in the front and it works fine and looks great!

                      This faucet is a work of art! I looked at many faucets and brands and this one stood out. The spotsheild stainless is a must have. It shows nothing. I don't use the shield spray very often but it works well. I do love the magnatite docking magnets because it always locks into place and Moen didn't offer the docking magnets or the extra spray feature so I choose Delta. Works great and I love it!

                        Looks and Functions Beautifully
                        Our old faucet and sink were dated, clunky and in poor shape. I bought a beautiful stainless steel sink and I wanted a faucet that was just as impressive. The Leland faucet was easy to install with the included "wrench" and it makes the new sink look amazing.

                          Would Buy Again!
                          Pull down nozzle works flawlessly. Easy to pull down and then reconnect. Like the aerated stream, the spray and bubble choices and like that the bubble selection is on a different lever. Satin and color looks great. Arc is a bit high but they all are these days. I have a deep sink so there is no splatter out. Swivels effortlessly between butterfly sinks. I had mine installed with the lever to the front as I found that easiest to go from hot to cold as one would have before but if you hook it up according to directions then hot is to the right and cold is to the left. My plumber said he can easily change the lines so that cold will be to the right and hot to the left now. Other than that I am extremely pleased that I selected this faucet (and I looked at many, many faucets).

The Arctic stainless is a great finish. I gave it 4 stars because it certainly wasn't inexpensive. Only time will tell if it holds up and is worth the money.

                            This faucet design is beautiful until I start to use it and then I discover the handle leaks water after I shut it off. That's annoying bec I don't want my counter top to collect water and have mold collecting by the backsplash. Well I put a little rubber lid that I found under the handle and that at least will prevent the water from pooling on the counter top. So the functionality is problematic. Otherwise I love the curved design and the pull out sprayer.

                              Duration of ownership: 1 Year. At first, it was all love for this faucet. The ease of use of the faucet is great. However, after nearly a year of ownership I have at least two important concerns: The first is the completely inferior design of the battery compartment. The device takes 6 AA batteries in a spring loaded cartridge that is affixed to the side wall under the sink. The plastic tabs that hold the top can barely take the force of the spring loaded batteries. To make matters worse, the screw hole is in the top so the top supports all the weight of the battery cartridge and the force of the spring loaded batteries. More than a few times, the top popped off spontaneously, dropping the batteries everywhere (and scaring members of my family thinking there was something living under the sink). You cannot use the faucet at all without the power. I complained to Delta and they sent me another cartridge (thinking that my battery compartment could not be this bad and I must have had a bad apple...nope). They sent the same junk design part. The batteries dropped under the sink another couple of times with the new part too. I first tried duct tape and that couldn't hold the top on. I eventually had to use zip ties to keep everything together. I posted an image. The residue on the top in the picture is from the duct tape. Another problem with this faucet is the light that goes from Red to Purple to Blue at the base of the faucet based on water temperature is prone to failure. At about the 11 month mark, the lights began to flicker instead of maintain brightness. Thinking the batteries were dead, I changed them out (after removing the zip tie I had to use to keep everything together). No change. I've since read that this is a known issue with this faucet and several reviews will mention this if they have left a review after extended use. I will now have to get Delta to send me another part. This part, unfortunately, will require uninstalling nearly the whole faucet to replace this part. I caution those that read reviews to take stock of how long the faucet was used. At first this was the greatest thing ever. However, after nearly a year of use, there are problems that should not occur.
