We shopped many faucets before deciding on the Kraus Ansel. One of the reasons we chose Kraus is that we have purchased their products for other home renovations, and we've always been pleased.
This faucet has a special feature in the movement of the handle that meant we didn't need to worry about clearance to our granite backsplash. Besides that very practical asset, we were immediately drawn to the sleek and sculptural appearance of the faucet. It really has a presence and "shows up" on a scale that suits our kitchen layout. We have it positioned at the back of an extra deep and extra wide double sink and in front of a very large greenhouse window, so we didn't want a faucet that looked puny or did not fit the scale of our kitchen. The Ansel is just what we wanted and has a sculptural quality despite being a utilitarian object. As with many things seen online, it looks even larger in real life.
It is worth noting that a pause feature for the water flow would have been an appreciated extra feature. Also, we have not sorted out a solution to keep the counterweight from banging on the plumbing when pulling out/retracting the spray hose and head. This has been an issue w/ other manufacturers as well.
We're very pleased with this latest purchase from Kraus.

Beautiful Faucet
Love the finish in Matte Black
Love the Style
Love the function
I had a Delta in my last house and although it was pretty it dripped and the button never stayed when I switched to the spray function. Hopefully this will last a long time without issue.

The product was delivered as ordered. We had a plumber install it as our old faucet was too hard to remove. All the parts were there and the faucet was installed with little trouble. I really like the looks of it and it works great! I would recommend this faucet to others.

Gorgeous faucet.
This faucet and the new Kraus Stainless sink have changed the whole look of my kitchen. They are absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend Kraus to everyone! Just a little note to DIY'S! Be careful not to lose the little washers inside the hot and cold water lines! The fall out easily!

Black and Stainless Faucet
I am very happy with this faucet! Looks beautiful and very well made. I was disappointed at first that the spray attachment was plastic but it doesn't look cheap and works great!

Exquisite design, multi-functional, great price
The Kraus Ansel faucet has a unique design, is a solid, well made fixture, and is well-priced. Looked for many months at many different faucet styles and brands. This model stood out above the rest.

It's special!
We studied the available faucets, knowing that a faucet is such an important part of a kitchen remodel. Our Kraus is sleek, without areas to catch dirt. The sprayer stays securely in place. It's beautiful. Our upscale kitchen is even more upscale now..

Much better quality than my last Kohler
Just installed, very easy, parts came together well. Parts are better materials than my previous kohler clairette which rusted out inside and fell apart with little customer support(600.00 faucet) I have another Kraus in my laundry room that has held up well and still looks good. Very attractive! Still has the plastic coated pull down, hoping it holds up better than kohler.

faucet folly
overall a nice faucet, however, the water stream is such that it splashes at almost any setting. Aerator really not putting much air into water stream!

Excellent Faucet
Very easy to install, simple clear instructions. It came with correct hoses. Looks great, operates perfectly. I like the non-shiny finish so water spots don't show like a polished chrome one would.
