Customer Reviews for LaToscana Novello Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Chrome

Very high quality, looks elegant and great price. Water runs smoothy and quiet, easy to install.

I WOULD recommend it, but not as a kitchen faucet. This is a bar sink faucet! Unfortunately, I did not discover this until I went through the trouble of installing it in my full size kitchen sink. Please check the dimensions before you buy! The gooseneck curvature is such that the nozzle does not reach out far enough from the backsplash to accomodate a full size kitchen sink, especially for washing pots, bowls and larger items. It is just too close to the back of the sink. Also, the spray/stream mechanism is a little different than I've seen on other faucets -- this might have affected my decision to purchase as well. When you turn on the water, it is a stream. You can press the top button for spray, then the bottom button for stream again. Regardless of spray or stream, when you shut off the water, it will always start back up in stream mode. Previous faucets I've owned start back up in whichever mode was the last to be used. I use the spray more often than stream and would like it to start in that mode, but this faucet will not do that. The faucet looks nice and has a quality feel. The nozzle pulls out smoothly and returns easily. If you intend to install it yourself, know what you're doing because installation instructions are cryptic. Just a basic nut holds the faucet in, but still I wish faucet manufacturers would come up with an easy installation for those, tight-hard-to-reach spaces which can sometimes be hard to even get a plumbers wrench in. I have seen some quality faucets with easier installation hardware. There can also be some difficulty installing the water supply lines -- difficult to do without twisting and kinking the flexible lines.

I love this faucet. I actually got it at a steal awhile back as it was on sale.. I cannot say enough good about it. Great design. Up really high for large pots. Can spin it all the way around to fill our pets bowl on counter. Sometimes the counter weight may have to be adjusted to bring the sprayer back up, but still a wonderful spigot as my Mama called them...

This is a great faucet..well worth the price....and easy to install!

We purchased this faucet for our kitchen upgrade, and even though it looks perfect and the scale is great for our large sink, we've had multiple issues. The handle started falling off after a couple of months, so my husband would tighten the tiny screw every now and then until one day the screw fell down the drain. Now the handle falls off at least once a day (until we get a teeny tiny replacement screw). The sprayer insert also falls out occasionally, and because that's obviously not a great fit, the stream isn't great. Overall, not my fave - we should have invested a bit more to have saved ourselves all of the headaches.

The faucet looked great, unfortunately the handle kept falling off. I had to uninstall it and return it.

Thought the finish was going to be second rate but it looks really good.

Nike looking sink. 4 stars bc handle falls off if you push it too hard but otherwise it's ok

I purchased this during Black Friday 2013 for the home I had just purchased. It seemed like a great deal, and the reviews were really good. However, now that I have had it nearly a year, I wish I would have gone with something else. PROS: It looks great. It's sleek, shiny, and beautiful on the sink. It really adds a level of sophistication to the kitchen. CONS: - Very difficult installation. Perhaps it is just our sink, but the hoses are a tight fit and it was not an easy install. (I can't say much more about it because my fiance did it, but I had to put up with all his groaning!) - The pull-down sprayer worked for about 2 weeks and now does not retract. When we pull down the sprayer, it just hangs there; it does not zip back up into itself like some other models I have used. We're not sure if this is a problem with the weights (which we have tried adjusting a million times) or a problem with how little room there is for all the hoses under the sink (though there IS enough room for the hoses to move). So every time I want to use the pull-down feature, I have to go under the sink when I'm done and pull the hose down so that the nozzle slides back into the neck. - The sprayer is not magnetized, meaning that there is nothing holding the nozzle in place when it does go back up into itself. You have to sort of lock it in place. - The hot/cold handle comes off all the time. This only seems to happen when we move it to the hot position. (We rarely use the hot water, but every time we do, the handle pops off.) It's very easy to put back on, but this seems to be a design flaw. So, all in all, while it's a nice faucet and it feels heavy duty, I have major problems with the main feature of this faucet: the pull-down! I rarely use it anymore; I might as well just have a normal sink. In the future, I plan to replace this with a pull-OUT faucet, or perhaps just get a separate sprayer since I have the extra hole in my sink.

I love the new faucet and it is great for washing and when you need to fill a big pot. The sprayer has two settings, normal and power wash. The best feature is that every time you turn off the water the sprayer reverts to normal so you don't get a surprise from the power sprayer.

Takes a bit to get used to the size. It seems extra large until you consider the hoses that must past through and then you understand why it is as large as it is. The only negative about this product is that the water is not aerated; therefore, it splashes everywhere. It would not be good for young children to use because of the splashing.

Let's get the "bad" out of the way -- when I installed the faucet, it turned out that the water supply lines inside the faucet were a bit loose causing it to leak. Easy enough to fix, but that shouldn't have happened. Other than that, the faucet is great. I love the way it looks! The pull down/out feature is great and the line is long enough for my deep sink. Just a note -- changing from cold to hot water means pushing the handle/lever away from you, and if you have the faucet mounted close to a wall, you might not be able to push the lever all the way to hot -- the handle might hit the wall behind it. I luckily had just enough room! But if I add a tile backsplash in the future I might not be able to get it 100% to hot.

Nice looking but rather large......it looks like it's industrial strength. You might have to buy some fittings for the hose attachments cause the ones they give you appear to be more specialized......but, you might "luck out".....I didn't.

Bought this as a daily deal, and the picture looked very nice. When I received it, it has no stylish accents or shines finish. It's very dull and clunky looking and super large. I took it back with no problem, and bought one in-store. Sometimes it's worth spending the extra money. It's hard to judge a product without seeing it in person. The photographer did a great job on the product photography!

Was easy to hook up and looks great would reccommend this

Really was a good deal on this product. Easy to install, and my wife loves it!

Bought this faucet online at a Promotional price of $49.99. Was easy to install and works fairly well. Only problem I have had so far is the set screw on the handle kept coming loose causing the handle to fall off. The only other complaint that I have is that the U shaped Goose neck design is not very flexible, even with the pull down sprayer. Should be angled out a little more at the sprayer end like the more expense units of similar design. Other than those complaints, works fine.

love the hand sprayer which is in the neck of the faucet ,the hand valve to turn the water on is designed well,and it has a wonderful finish on the product

i am replacing a faucet that was similar to this one, but the handle to turn the water on and off was a little lighter in weight which eventually broke after a year of off and on. This is has a lot heavier handle to turn the faucet on and off. I hope it last longer than a year.

This looks good, was shipped/packed well with good instructions. Very easy to install, and an intuitive design makes it a welcome (and overdue) addition to my kitchen.

It has yet to be put in use. I'll know the ease of installation and the quality of the faucet once my kitchen is re-modeled.

It was frustrating to connect. The faucet looks nice. The hot and cold h2o connectors are too short.

High quality and very nicely designed faucet. It was easy to install and works great.

This is a very tall, large faucet with all the features I wanted. Easy to use and very stylish.

This is a huge kitchen faucet. We have a large country sink, so the 2 elements work well together.

Looks nice and works great for us so far. We are pleased.

I bought this house a month ago and it came with a boring builders special kitchen faucet. I'm adding new accessories to dress up the house, saw this and had it installed by a handyman this week. I wasn't sure what to expect since they don't have it in my local stores, but boy it really has dressed up the kitchen. The faucet has a nice, solid, heavy, feel to it, two spray options and a nice pull out sprayer. Only negatives are the attached water lines are pretty short, required an extra trip to the store for an adaptor, and another water line extension, oh and it has a really, really tall arc, I have a deep sink mounted in the middle of an island so it worked for the kitchen, but may not for everyone due to it's height. The quality for this price, I consider it a great buy.

I was looking for a sleek pull-down for a kitchenette. The price was comparable to other pull-downs available in stock, but I was attracted to the look of this one. I thought that this would fit my needs. I wish I had seen it in the store before I ordered; it is HUGE! Although "sleek" and very durable, it is way bigger than most kitchen faucets. It would best be utilized in a more professional kitchen for a lot of use and operators.

A very nice faucet. Very high arch with pull down tap. Two spray options. Very sturdy. Handle lever is thick and firm price is 200 cheaper than other sites. Commercial look and grade.

Durable, looks beautiful in my kitchen. It is the first thing everyone notices. Price just right!
