    Good look but sprayer does not work
    I purchased this about two years ago, looks great and all but the sprayer only works for about 3 seconds before starts to skip and suddendly stops. My wife says it was like that from the begining, it used to work for 5 or 6 seconds but it has gotten worse. I thouth it was the water preassure but I see other people on the reviews with the same issue... Im not sure what to do.

      Finish peeling off after a month of use.
      While we absolutely love the look of this Fossett, we are extremely disappointed to see that the finish is peeling off of the spray handle within a month of installation.

        Sprayer leaks all over after 3 months
        We bought this and had it installed by HD during our remodel. It was installed the last week of December. It started leaking between the hose and the sprayer Saturday 3/11/23. Sink can’t be used because it sprays all over kitchen. Monday I called Krause started a warranty claim. Today (Thursday)they emailed me and asked for a batch number that’s located next to the turnoff valve. They won’t warranty it unless I can locate a batch number. Even though I have a HD Receipt and video of sink.

          Gold veneer is stripping after less than two years
          We enjoyed this faucet for about a year and appreciated its look and function. However now, less than 2 years after installation, the brushed gold veneer on the faucet is stripping where the spray handle sits in the holder. See pictures attached.

            Poor Excuse for a Kitchen Faucet.
            I purchased and had installed by plumber in June 2021. In June of 2022, the entire black finish on the backside of the handle that locks into the holder was scratched off - and showing copper. Then today 12/31/22 - water spewing from the top! This is so NOT quality.

              A beast of a faucet...
              I installed the matte black/black stainless version to replace the bare bones kitchen faucet in our new home and I love it. It's super solid and appears to be really well made, no issues so far. Pictures do not do justice for how big of a beast this thing is, so make sure you know what you're getting. Also, some reviews mention the sprayer not reaching far enough, I did not have this problem at all, it reaches nearly to the bottom of our sink. My guess is that the hose counterweight is installed too far up and is preventing the sprayer from being pulled out. It's a pricey, but well worth the money.

                Gold finish scrapes off in 1 month
                Brought this last month, and now the beautiful gold finish is scratching off! This faucet is expensive for such low quality, very unhappy with this brand. Also the sprayer doesn't pull down hardly at all and the spray handle gets extremely hot and burns my hand when I'm washing dishes. DO NOT BUY!

                  Great Look, Failed Faucet Design
                  We tried to like this faucet. We love the style, but the “pull down” feature doesn’t allow you to reach the sink. The spray pressure is weak and doesn’t help to wash dishes or clean corners of a sink. It functions solely as an overpriced pot/sink filler.

                    Stunning faucet!! I love it! I just wish the pull down sprayer would pull down a little more lower. Then it be perfect! Otherwise I do recommend purchasing this faucet if you don’t mind the pull down only going as far as where it sits. Matches perfectly with my new Kitchen ❤️

                        Its a gorgeous faucet. It gets 3 stars becaus it cost a small fortune and the black finish where the sprayer meets the magnet is scratched! Its only been 2 months and my $400 faucet has scratched paint from regular use

                          My plumbers exact words, “Wow this is really nice.” Sharp addition to our updated kitchen. Only complaint is the hose is stiff and doesn’t really cover the whole sink easily - sink is also a Kraus.

                          Not Great
                          We installed this kitchen faucet just over a year ago we bought it for its looks and after reading some reviews. We first notice the sprayhead pressure was not great. The water pressure is fine out of the faucet so its not a water pressure problem. After 1 year the lever has stop working for the spray head. Overall very disappointed with it.

                          Hello Gary, We're so sorry to hear your faucet is malfunctioning, Try soaking your sprayhead in equal parts warm soapy water and distilled vinegar for about 15 min and then rinsing through. If there's any debris causing these issues that should help knock them loose. If this doesn't help, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-775-0703 or email, chat or text us so we can look into this farther. Kraus

                            Beautiful Faucet!
                            My faucet is against a wall of tile, so I wanted something that would make a statement and this was perfect! The pull-down part is perfect for my large farmstyle sink, so I didnt have any issues with it not pulling all the way down.

                              Leaked out of the Box
                              So we were really excited about this faucet and had to wait a month because it was on backorder everywhere. When it arrive we were severly disappointed because the gold was more like yellowed stainless steel. We decided to have it installed because the only other faucet we liked was twice as much. I dont know if this was dumb luck but the plumber couldn’t install it because the supply lines leaked straight out of the box. He said Kraus usually starts leaking after a year of use. Sooo we sent it back. We purchased the more expensive black and gold faucet and are extremely happy with it inspite of the additional cost.

                                  The sprayer is very high up, and isn't flexible enough to reach close to the sink, which creates a lot of splashing and overspray. It can barely be pulled below the pot filler, using a lot of force. The pot filler works fine as an alternative and the quality is great. I don't think this is good for any standard kitchen... Maybe higher, larger sinks. We'll be returning it.

                                              This faucet is an absolute beast! Big and beefy, very solid construction. We purchased the chrome finish and it’s beautiful. I’ve been very happy with it so far. Some say the sprayer is weak but I’ve found it adequate to remove residual food from dishes. As far as industrial facets, I don’t know that you could get better.

                                              I have to agree with others who made mention that the sprayer doesn't have the flexibility to extend farther than a few inches. I have owned Kraus in the past and loved it which is why I order another. Unfortunately, they have removed the feature that holds a continuous spray, and again the flexibility on the sprayers is almost nonexistent. The look is great but the overall usability of the product sucks!

                                                Looks great, but the sprayer gets stuck on the 'spray/on', so my only option is to use the faucet and not the sprayer! KPF-1604SFS (manufactured 07/27/2021). We've had this for about two years and would expect that it would have lasted longer than that.
