Customer Reviews for Pfister Venturi Single Hole Single-Handle Bathroom Faucet in Matte Black

Just replaced my sink with new faucet. Looks nice and easy to install, however the flow is not smooth and splashes all over hitting the drain top. Lowering the pressure helped a bit but im not a fan of low pressure. The flow is just not as smooth as i thought it would be.

I bought two of these at HD about 5 years ago. They are easy to work and look great. Only problem. No aerator. They both are frothing the hot water with tiny bubbles. The bubbles are gone in 30 seconds and the water is perfectly clear. As I mentioned, no aerator. The bubbles are usually caused by a dirty aerator. The cold water is clear. Now what??!

Replaced an old faucet with this one and love it. Looks very nice. Install was easy, all parts came with it - except the Teflon Tape - I like to use it whenever I am dealing with water, but it might not be needed.

Great quality fixture. The pop up drain was a surprise which created some extra work but we are pleased with the result.

These faucets are great! Their smooth lines mean they are easy to keep clean, and they look so contemporary. They were very easy to install, too. No problems at all.

Super easy to install and love the look. Doesn’t leak!

Pfister Venturi single handle fit perfectly on my new American standard single hole sink. The height is just right and the drain stop (push down/up) to operate is very convenient and hassle free.

This faucet has a good quality & price. Make sure you check your supply valve if it is 3/8” or 1/2”. This model has a 1/2” connection & the hose for hot & cold are not included in the box. You have to buy separate & if you have a 3/8” supply valve, you have to buy 2 pieces of 3/8” one end & 1/2” the other end of hose. If you have 1/2” supply valve, you have to buy 2 pieces of both 1/2” hose. The faucet looks very elegant & the height is just right, not too high.

Although I liked the look of this faucet. I have it now for almost a year as I am stuck with it!. It only allows hot water but for some reason, it BLOCKS COLD WATER COMPLETELY!!!. I have to keep warning my daughter and my guests every time they use it as if you use it for a few minutes, water becomes very hot and it can burn the skin! I had to bring a handyman twice to test cold water in the water line underneath the sink and we verified it is there. In conclusion, it is very frustrating dealing with this faucet. I will have to through this in the trash and get another brand. I am also including a picture that shows the metal corrosion started and that speaks of the quality itself! I do not recommend it at all.

I love the look of this faucet for our bathroom; however, the durability is poor. We have slight mineral deposits which have corroded the finish in a year's time.

Looks fantastic and has a good water flow arc. Water spots do show so need to dry with towel if this bothers you.

I purchased two (2) faucets for double sinks. When we were installing the second faucet I noticed water splashed inside the first sink but I had already dried out the sink after turning on the new faucet (trying it out). Thought it was a little odd. While the second faucet was being installed I heard some noise and a bunch of water (not pouring but several drips) came out of the faucet. I thought that was unusual and should not happen. After the second faucet was installed, that too was dripping. I would dry the sink out and place either a dry paper towel or a small dish. After 30 minutes to an hour or more, I would check the sinks. The paper towel would be soaked and the dish would have about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water. I contacted Pfister and they recommended we tighten retainer clip and if that doesn't work they would replace the cartridge. We are going to return them. I did not do my due diligence and read the negative reviews about the dripping issue. Reading the reviews now seems it is a consistent problem and has not been rectified. Possibly with enough negative reviews Pfister will go back to the drawing board and come up with a design that when you turn the water off, it stays off!

Nice product. Easy to install, except for the usual difficulties turning a wrench under a bathroom sink... Water flows out nicely, and the faucet looks cool.

This model of faucet is nice looking and functional. The action on the lever is buttery smooth. Installation was a quick and straightforward. The nut to fasten the faucet is long (lots of threads) such that it is easy to get to if you are installing or removing it with the cabinet in place. i.e tightening or loosening with a wrench in the cramped space under the cabinet.

I installed this faucet for a client. Aside from looking great it was an easy install. The pop up drain, which is included, is so much better than the little handle at the back of most faucets.

I love the Faucet and looks great, however if your water has high amounts of mineral deposits (water hardness that creates limescale/calcium buildup) like in all California, avoid this faucet at all costs, I regularly try to put vinegar inside to avoid buildup, but given the shape no matter how hard you try it's impossible to clean inside. I hate that I will need to get rid of it because the water flow it's ridiculous, I had it less than a year, for the price I paid it is not worth it. I like fancy faucets but will not make the same mistake, round faucets with aerators are easier to clean and soak with vinegar to avoid this issue.

Was easy to assembly; I like the model AND how it's looks in my lavatory.

Looks very nice and it works great.

I purchased a pair of these in brushed nickel for dual vanity sinks. The design and finish are absolutely beautiful, but after one week I will have to return these to Home Depot. Both faucets leak small drops even hours after they have last been used. To see if it was maybe just residual water left behind from using it, at night after turning them on, I wiped down both spouts and got inside with a cloth as much as possible. In the morning, two small drops sit at the opening of the spout and the sink is wet with drops so I know it has been occurring all night and not leftover water from prior use. Since this happens on both faucets, I know it's not just one bad one. See picture to see where water continues to drip after faucet is off.

Wasn't sure if I would like the style but bought it along with four other faucets to see what would look nice in my remodeled bathroom. It turned out that we liked this faucet the best mounted as a one-hole fixture on our new granite counter top. It was simple but elegant. It also does not seem to hold water or water spots on its surface so far. We are pleased with the choice.

Great price and functionality on the look we were after.

Great product. Easy to install and very minimal waste on water. looks good on just about any sink.

I recently purchased this item and it looks great and works great. I have hard water so it tends to stain the nickle finish but the spot defence works amazingly well. no chemicals, no cleaners just wipe with a damp cloth. it does tend to splash water onto the counter because of the amount of water poured at once. But once you get used to the faucet you stop doing that. highly recommended

I had already looked at these Venturi faucets a couple years ago when I was remodeling a bathroom, & I was interested in the “ribbon” stream of water they put out, and liked the style of them, so it wasn't hard for me to choose this new brushed gold model when it became available. Now I just have to plan some colors around it (it seems to go ok with my shiny gold/brass door handles). I'm a long time Pfister customer, so I trust they'll take care of me...got a previous budget faucet of theirs, 20 years old, they still send me parts for. Their faucets are easy to install, with pretty good directions. I like the pop-up drain system that comes with this, got one on another Pfister I own. I tried a test mounting of this on an 18”x 20” wall-mount sink I have around (see pics), gonna be a while before I install it permanently, gotta choose some other fixtures first...I can say that the faucet is very average-size for a single hole model, maybe even on the shorter side...it is maybe on the thicker side, tho', heavy & solid...& the color on the website is accurate, my pics are slightly golder...this faucet was $129 when I got it.

Was hesitant to purchase this after reading some of the reviews, but the price was right and I loved the look of the faucet. Was very easy to install and I had no issues. So far so good. I made sure to register my faucet after purchase as they come with a warranty.

The faucet is beautiful and finally works well. But what a pain. The top of the pop-up drain assembly (the plastic part that rims the sink) was not cut properly at the factory and was too big on about 1\4 of the rim, so did not seal to the sink. But to give them credit, part of the flat gasket was cut off in manufacturing. So of course new parts had to be ordered. They were under warranty and they were expedited. But we were without a master bath sink for a week because all the old sink and parts were trashed with the old vanity. We could have exchanged the faucet for a new one, but none were in stock at our local store. Of course Home Depot stocks no Pfister parts. I would inspect any Pfister faucet in the store before purchasing or at least in the parking lot before leaving should there be a problem. This cannot be just a one-time glitch. Quality control seems to be a problem. But I am very happy with the faucet now. Never have had such problems before.

Easy to assemble, shipped quick and looks great!

Simple install, great look, great price.

This is a great looking addition to any bathroom; however, the only complaint would be that the plate that comes with it is a 4" and most bathroom countertops are precut for a 6" plate. Except for this small issue, it seems to be well made and was easy to install.
