Customer Reviews for KOHLER Elmbrook 8 in. Widespread 2-Handle Bathroom Faucet in Polished Chrome

Easy to install and feels like good quality. Overall Kohler makes great products, so I feel confident in this faucet. The handle/valves use the standard Kohler setup with two screws on a nut so you can hand tighten the nut and then use the screws to fully secure everything. This makes install quick and easy - even in tight spaces. The center faucet installs to the countertop using a screw post and tall nut which wasn't too bad to use, though wish it had the same setup as the handles.

I assumed all brushed nickel faucets were spot resistant. They are NOT! This gets spots after every use, and even when wiped off immediately, some spots still remain. And who wants a high-maintenance faucet? Should have gone with the Moen I'd had in a previous home. That was a beauty, but I went the cheaper route. When will I learn?

I purchased this a week ago to replace a leaky faucet in my guest bathroom. This Koehler Elmbrook is a beautiful set and easy to install. The only issue is that it was missing a metal washer for the faucet so I had to improvise.

This is a cheap Kohler product I have water corrosion after only 3 months. Water stains can not be removed, I unfortunately bought 2 of these - have never had this problem before :(

Love the look and sleek lines of this faucet. Very solid and smooth operation. Great compliment to the counter top! Love it!

I purchased the Kohler Elmbrook faucet due to reading several positive reviews. I liked the simplicity of the look and the high arc of the faucet. My contractor installed it with no issues. After several months of use, however, I’ve noticed that The bottom of the right handle seems to be discolored...it’s slightly darker with a slight orange tinge and it looks tarnished compared to the other handle. I’m extremely disappointed!

Standard installation. Looks really great on my white quartz counters. Bought 3 of them but 1 defected. No worries though, Return it to Home Depot store locally and ordered new one with free two days shipping.

Looks great with our matching Kohler Elmbrook pedestal sink! The 8in Widespread looks so much nicer than the 4in, which in my opinion looks like a flapping bird. Design , construction and faucet finish are top notch as expected in this price range. We also love the included pop-up drain. I just hope it lasts a long time... time will tell!

This Kohler faucet paired perfectly with my Kohler Vitreous China Vanity Top. I made the mistake of using the faucet with a pull drain that wasn’t compatible with the vanity top - but this faucet solved that seamlessly. The included pop-up drain has an overflow drain that will catch water from the basin sink when it fills past the overflow drain. The need for an overflow drain was a crucial necessity I overlooked initially. The handles have a smooth turning feel and it just looks stunning! The aerator does a good job without reducing water pressure. Be sure to pick up plumber’s putty and two supply lines (not included with faucet).

My wife and I run a small property business in Western Pennsylvania. We buy, renovate, rent, and sell homes and apartments in our area. I am the PA-registered home improvement contractor of our outfit and head up our small work crew. We have quite a bit of experience in bathroom renovation. This is an impressive widespread faucet. Widespread bathroom faucets, with quarter-turn handles to facilitate the faucets’ use by the disabled, are more popular than they’ve ever been these days. They enjoy a distinct mechanical advantage over the single-hole faucet with temperature and volume control in one lever. The ceramic disk valves are much simpler and have fewer moving parts, so fewer things can go wrong. With the explosion in popularity, however, have come a few “innovations” to make these things more easy to install (you have three posts to lock into the countertop, not one), and these innovations do not always make for a good mount between the countertop and the faucet. The Kohler Elmbrook widespread uses a screw-in ring with secondary screws that increase the force holding the handles to the countertop. This kind of extremely robust arrangement is usually reserved for tall, one-hole kitchen kitchen faucets. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in a three-hole bathroom faucet. This makes the handle lock on to the surface, something that is sadly lacking in many other faucets like this sold by other manufacturers today. You can also get a positive lock without using a specialized tool like a crowfoot wrench or a basin wrench. I also have the Kohler Elmbrook widespread pedestal sink, and getting into the tight cavities in that sink to put in a faucet is murder with other widespread faucets. This faucet will install easily into that sink. I’ll let the picture speak for themselves. It’s really beautiful, function piece of bathroom hardware, even just locked into my test granite slab drilled for 3-hole faucets.

Installed by a plumber, two sets are beautiful, the handles turn really easily, and a quick wipe with a towel removes dried water spots.

It’s beautiful, and that’s all I can say about it as it hasn’t been installed yet, but I’m excited for when it is!

good quality, nice looking

Easy installation, great looking faucet

Great look. Needed to provide stainless steel flex hose instead of the nylon hose. Also needs to be longer

Good faucet overall but NOT spot resistant, it always looks dirty even after wiping down. Will not buy again nor recommend!!!! So annoying!

Faucet was installed by plumber so can't talk to the ease of installation - but it is really nice looking and operates so smoothly, Very happy with purchase.

finish and operation are very good BUT the supply hoses from the handles to the center faucet are too rigid and they KINK, do a search on this prior to purchasing. Kohler does not have a quality replacement hose. you have to soak the hoses in boiling water to soften them prior to installing. Very bad materials in the hose for this application

Sleek design easy install
