Center Single stream option gone
Within one year the center single stream didn’t work. Spray and forceful spray still work but still- for this price it should last longer

Hi SewMomWoods, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I am truly sorry to hear the sprayhead on your Artifacts kitchen faucet is not producing a center stream. This is nothing you should expect during normal use. We recommend removing the sprayhead and soaking it in a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water to remove any internal sediment causing the restriction. Please email our team directly at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com should you need further assistance. We are here and happy to help! Kindly, Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

      Looks beautiful! Love the different spray patterns and the Magnetic Docking!
      The brushed gold finish looks like jewelry, the different spray patterns are very useful, especially berry spray and the magnetic docking is very nice. Our one issue was that the opening in our counter was not quite big enough and we have had two other faucets before this one. The plumber was able to file enough of the counter off to make it fit, so it was fine.

      They are great while they still work
      We bought 3 of these in oil rubbed bronze finish when we did our remodel a few years ago. One of them now leaks at the hose just above the swivel of the faucet head, and the button repeatedly falls off. The second has always sprayed erratically on the spray setting, but generally works. The third has been problem free thus far.

          Three sprayer replacements in five years of ownership.
          Getting ready to replace the sprayer for the 4th time now! To date Kohler has sent us three replacement hoses but this a pain to change the sprayer hose every 1.5 years. There is a design defect that causes early failure where the hose attaches to the head. If you are choosing a new faucet, recommend passing on this one. While the design is beautiful the maintenance on it will exceed anything you have experienced before in a plumbing fixture. If this failure happens and you don’t leave the hose out, water will back up in the decorative pipe and flood underneath your cabinet.

            I am in love with this faucet!
            I have just completed a rather massive renovation and converted my dining room into my kitchen. This faucet was one of the first fixtures I purchased even before the renovation began. My farmhouse kitchen came to life around this faucet which so far has been perfect in style and function. I love the "berry" sprayer -- it's perfect for fruit but also for washing little ones hands. The power wash feature is terrific for getting into all the corners of my 33" farmhouse sink and the chrome finish cleans up so easily and looks fantastic against my white quartz countertops and blue/green glass subway tile backsplash. It's a pricey item, but so far 100% worth it. Everyone who has seen the renovation so far raves about the faucet and how it really finishes the room.

            Beautiful facet if it worked - DO NOT BUY
            Very dissapointed in Kohler. Was told by a home depot associate this connector does not work. Spent over $500 to trust kohlers product and it does not click in place. Was also told there is nothing that i can additionally purchase to make work.

              Breaks after two years
              This looks great and worked wonderful until the hose started leaking - it keeps getting worse and make a huge mess. This is now virtually unusable! Horrible craftsmanship and customer service (was told it is out of warranty and I need to buy a new one)

                Gorgeous and functional fixture that makes you smile every time you use it. This is the second faucet I've gotten from the Kohler Artifacts line and both have impressed me. The upgrade on this one is the touchless feature, which is great when you're doing dishes and don't want to keep turning the handle on and off and getting water on everything. It also effectively lets you set the temperature and flow rate once and not have to mess with it again. Install is a breeze, as usual with Kohler products. The instructions are clear and the steps are straightforward. Once it's in place it's just such a joy to use. The fit and the finish are perfect. If I had one minor quibble with the faucet, it would be nice to be able to set how long it runs for on touchless mode. It has a safety or water conserving feature where it shuts off after a set amount of time but you can't adjust how much time that is. Not a huge deal but at this price point that simple feature would be welcome.

                Wow! I love the Kohler touchless faucet. The pull down for a kitchen faucet is a must, it works great. The color matches everything perfectly. It is a very solid faucet. Installation wasn’t too difficult, my husband actually had to read the directions. But had no issues with it. Love the fact that it is touchless..had no problems with it not coming on needed. Would recommend.

                Kitchen faucet is looking like a antique design. I love the outfit as preferable one. The color and architectural design is attractive. Kohler is always is quality. I setup the hole thing in demo for desire looks. Every one love the faucet. I am waiting for electric wiring finished by electrician. Rest of the plumbing work will be done by me. I recommended this product as the touchless function operated by AC connection.

                This is a nice touchless faucet which gives you the ability to turn it on or off by waving your hand or pot under it. I haven't had this long so I can't speak to its longevity but it looks good and seems well made-- like most Kohler products. The pull down feature retracts well and the faucet works well. Installation requires an electrical outlet nearby if you plan on using the electronic feature. The faucet is very tall. It is about 18 inches tall. If you look at my photos, you will see that the faucet almost touches the bottom of our cabinet. So, if you have any cabinets over your sink, be sure you have enough space for the faucet before you buy it. Installation Tips While it is not terribly difficult to install (except that you will be working in a cramped and cluttered area under your sink), the first tip is to find an installation video for this unit or a similar one. Note that the unit has 2 delicate wires plus one from the solenoid that need to be connected to the circuit board. Plugging them in while you are twisted up under the sink can be challenging and you can damage them if you are not very careful. Maybe Kohler can place all 3 of these connectors into one solid connector with one substantial wire in future models. Then, you would only need to connect that one plate plus the power cord. Otherwise, customers risk damaging those delicate wire connectors and turning an expensive electronic faucet into a manual one.

                I've always wanted a motion sense kitchen faucet and the Kohler Artifacts pull-down faucet offers it all: great looks, motion sense and pull down sprayer. I'm remodeling our kitchen and can't wait to install this "state of the art" kitchen faucet in our new kitchen sink! We made sure a power outlet was installed below the new sink for the disposal and small adapter to power the motion sensor electronics integrated within the fixture. The Kohler faucet is well made and has a beautiful chrome finish. Item comes with sensing electronics, valve, installation instructions and everything needed for normal installation.

                The faucet is taller than most others I've seen. That could be good for filling tall pots but it's too high from the sink for my preference. The finish is great. Seems to resist water stains and fingerprints. Very country kitchen in style. It's "nice" but not spectacular. I think I expected more because of the brand name. Average comes to mind, functional but not impressive.

                This is one of the sweetest faucets I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. But you had better be good at installation. You had better be good at plumbing, electrical, routing wires and water lines, and all the while laying on your back bent under the sink. One of my toughest hookups ever, but so well worth the effort. My back hurts a little but I'll get over that. The installation was leak free and the faucet works like a dream. But keep in mind this unit does not include a 3 hole deck escutcheon plate in case you have a 3 hole sink. And it does not include a soap dispenser for that fourth hole many kitchen sinks have. I bought a close match for a soap dispenser at the store and had to order a 3 hole escutcheon plate. The most important thing you'll need for the installation is a plug socket under your sink, like in my pictures, to plug the faucet power supply into. Otherwise this fauct just won't work. There is a power failure bypass in case your power goes off in a storm, but without a plug socket under your sink, you can not enjoy the touchless features. With this unit, there is both the hot and cold water lines, the water outlet line to the control box, the water outlet line to the faucet, plus 4 electrical lines. Once I got all that routed, I used some extra tie wraps to neaten everything up out of the way. You'll have to mount the control box within 8 inches of the center line of the faucet because the water outlet line it too short in my opinion. And the instructions say so. The installation manual is easy to understand and straight forward, and for a generic model, and lacks a parts breakdown picture, which for a faucet of this caliber, is cheap. Also cheap, is the lack of a rubber washer between the underside of the sink and the big steel mounting washer. Operation: This faucet has 3 (Three) of the nicest spray patterns I've ever used on a kitchen faucet. A aerated full stream, a misty rain shower type spray, a an angular fan spray that is used by a momentary button press. Great for rinsing out the sink. The touchless sensor is high tech and sensitive. It is in the neck of the faucet, so if you wave your hands under the sprayhead, the water will not come on like in the bathroom sink. You have to move you hand under the neck of the faucet. I like it this way because when you are washing dishes, there would be too many false turn on's. This is going to be a real water saver, and super clean and hygienic. Plus there isn't all that water slopped around the sink and on the faucet handle when you do the dishes, and do some cooking and cleaning of vegetables. You just turn on the faucet normally to hot or cold. The LED comes on, the water flows, wave your hand, the water stops, and the LED stays on. Wave your hand again, the water flows. When your done at the sink, turn the handle off and the LED goes out. So sweet !! Kohler hit a home run with this one, I just worry about the electronic control box under the sink, and if it fails, will they stand behind it. The warranty is for 5 years, so I bet Kohler would do the right thing if there was a problem.

                I suggest you do a few dimensional checks before you buy this unit. I thought the threaded shank that goes through the sink would be an industry standard, but it is not. This unit measures 1.34” diameter. My current one is 1.18”, and the hole it goes through is only 1.25”. To install this, I need to get a 1.375” diamond hole saw. If you never drilled a hole with these kinds of bits, you need to drill a 1.375 hole in a board, and then center the board exactly where you want your hole in the granite; anchor this down securely, and use the board to hold the bit in the proper position. Otherwise the bit will wander. The concept for this faucet is to adjust the temperature about where you will use it most, and leave the handle in this position. Then you turn the faucet on or off by waving your hand under the bent tube of the faucet. This triggers the electrical solenoid. You have the option to by-pass the solenoid (to the open position), and then control the faucet strictly with the control handle. The control handle is 3.5” from the center of the faucet. Rotation is from vertical to 90 degrees. If mounted with the handle on the right, the handle will swing slightly into the sink area. If on the left, the handle will go into the wall. In our case, there isn’t room for this. You need to install the solenoid box which also contains a small electrical circuit board, with the two plumbing lines coming out of the bottom. This box measures 6” wide, 4” tall, and 2” deep. My case will be a challenge to get everything installed. In addition to the normal plumbing, I earlier installed a hot water recirculation valve, and its extra plumbing. Keep in mind you want the area directly under this to be clear enough for the shower hose to slide up and down without catching on anything.

                This single handle kitchen pull down faucet is absolutely stunning in looks and appearance but again then it’s a Kohler ….why would you expect anything less? My only issue with this faucet is the fact Kohler does NOT provide a escutcheon base plate which allows this faucet to be installed on both 3-hole and single hole sinks. This is a very high-end kitchen faucet so why, why doesn’t Kohler include this escutcheon as part of the faucet?. As a result I now have to chase down the appropriate base plate so I can keep my perfectly serviceable 3-hole kitchen sink. Not too happy with this delay and I’m wary about the fact this hasn’t been the first time Kohler “cheaped” out omitting these escutcheons. On the positive side the faucet came well packaged with no crushed or damaged packaging corners. Only items needed by sides an escutcheon plate are basic handtools to complete the installation along with a wad of plumber’s putty.

                You really can't go wrong with Kohler ...it's one of the few brands that never lets you down. I would describe the quality of this faucet as outstanding. The high-polished chrome finish is absolutely beautiful, the faucet itself is very heavy, an indication that it is a quality piece, and the electronic controls are amazing. The installation was quite easy ...not a lot more complicated that installing a standard, non-electronic kitchen faucet. The main difference is the installation of the solenoid which requires an electrical outlet and someplace inside your cabinet to mount the solenoid. Very well-written instructions make the job so easy even a beginner can be confident in doing the job right. Once installed, the handle operation is smooth and feels like a quality fixture. This is really everything you'd want from a faucet and everything you'd expect from Kohler. Great product.

                Glad I bought this faucet after much searching. This one looks simple and functions well. It has a matte type even finish & a button for a stronger spray you can hold intermittently. Easy to pull down on the sprayer & retracts nicely (and completely). I would recommend this well made faucet for those who like the look of simplicity-

                This is really beautiful. If you are limited on space, they make another version of this so the handle does not take up much room when turning it on. I've had it for about a month now and no issues with it working properly or leaking. I had it professionally installed. It has two spraying pressures. One is the usual and the other is harder. I also have the matching soap dispenser.

                  Luxurious Faucet
                  Artifacts Single-Handle Pull-Out Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Vibrant Stainless: This is a beautiful faucet as you can see in the pictures. It has the three spray modes. The misting shower is great for washing delicate vegetables. One of the main reasons I installed this faucet, is it makes it easier for my grandmother to wash her hair. The mist is nice on delicate skin. I have also included a video that shows the 3 modes. The length of the hose when you pull the nozzle into the sink is a good amount as shown in the video. Installation was easy. Removing the old faucet was most of the work. Once the old faucet was out, it took me maybe 15 to 30 minutes to install this faucet. The quality of the faucet is high. I think the finish is beautiful. The hose retraction is actuated by a weight on the hose under the sink, so make sure your cabinet has room for the hose to retract. That usually isn’t a problem. I love the high spout. It gives plenty of room for filling buckets and moving pots around in the sink. The valve lever is really smooth and easy to use. I have really enjoyed this high quality faucet. It’s perfect.

                  Beautiful but heavy duty faucet
                  I am remodeling my kitchen, and I chose this faucet to complement my sink. This sink is not only beautiful, it is also heavy duty. I installed this to the sink before installing the sink, so it made for a very easy install. I also like the fact that this product includes two ways to tighten the faucet to the sink. Not only do you have a metal screw on gasket, there are also two heavy duty screws that further tighten the faucet into place. This keeps the heaviness of the faucet from becoming an issue in causing it to loosen up with time. The sink also offers three types of spray instead of the normal two.

                  Modern/vintage look
                  I love the new Berrysoft spray feature because it is very gently. I use this feature for quick rinses because it does not splash on the counter top. This faucet is very modern yet vintage in its design. The arc is high above my sink which allows me to easily wash pots without struggling for clearance. The single handle is very easy to adjust the water pressure & temp because it is attached to a swivel ball. With a simple wipe, this faucet returns to its sparkly clean shine. I wish that it came with a matching soap dispenser. Overall, I'm very pleased and happy with the design, quality, and modern features of this faucet. I highly recommend it in your kitchen because of its features, quality, and durability.

                  The perfect kitchen faucet.
                  This faucet is designed with the consumer in mind. It has 3 settings for water flow. One is the stream, another is spray, and it has a "BerrySoft" spray. The BerrySoft is to gently wash fruits and vegetables. I really like the "Promotion" feature, which is a ball/swivel joint at the spray head. And, a nylon hose for quietness. You will find the braided stainless supply lines already attached to the faucet so there are less connections for you to attach to the faucet. The "Docknetik" technology is another superb feature, which keep the spray head from drooping. This is a quality faucet featuring ceramic valves and brass construction. I'm not quite sure what the one review I read means by there is too much pressure in the water flow. The handle controls the water flow, so you simply do not turn it on full blast, and there shouldn't be any problems.

                  Artifacts Faucet
                  I love the aesthetics, however it started leaking in less than 1 year. It caused water damage under my sink. I bought 4 of the previous model (that also had issues) simply because I liked the look, but refused to buy another of that model. When I went to the Kohler showroom they assured me that the new model would not have the same issues... however, it did.
