Easy to clean - high quality and attractive
So far so good. We replaced the 25-year-old faucet on our pedestal sink in the powder room. No leaks. No continuous drips when you turn water off. Solid metal and durable. Pleasing water stream. No water spots on fixtures, EASY TO CLEAN, handles turn at a satisfying resistance, love the pop up drain. No seams or crevasses in the construction (no germ/soil collection points). Plenty of room to get your hands fully in the water with the reach of the spout away from the back of your sink basin. The spout shape is attractive and contemporary, with a wide arm that is barely arched. Our unit had a manufacture date of January 2020. I shopped online for features and measurements before heading to the store to see the quality in person. This was the most handsome faucet that meets all our requirements. Before you begin, take the time to watch the helpful Pfister faucet installation video, inspect all your parts, replace your connector hoses, and gather any tools you might need including a kneeler pad to save your knees, and a work light. Take your time and follow the installation instructions for each step in order. We felt that the coordinating accessories were a bit flimsy, so we bought a different brand that has a similar appearance. For reference, in the photos our sink is a pale blush color porcelain which looks beautiful with this Pfister Venturi faucet finish. We just installed this faucet today, and hope that it will continue to operate as it does today.

    Faucet has a slow leak from the spout after installation. After the manufacturer sending replacement valves and cranking down the nut on top of the valve as much as possible it is still leaking with a slow drip. Now the manufacturer is sending a replacement faucet - while thats all well and good, I have spent hours trying to get this to stop leaking to no avail.

      The matte black matches beautifully with our design of our newly remodeled bathroom. Minus 1 star that the water lines attached are narrow, plastic tubing as opposed to solid, bent copper on very expensive units at plumbing supply stores. But so far(1 month in) everything is working great. Also extremely easy to install.

      Due to the tiny holes in spout which you don’t see before having it installed. The water flow is extremely slow. This was installed on Apr 26th, nice design, poor performance.

      This product is great. Has a solid feel and installs easily. Pre-installed water lines use an adapter to attach to the standard steel braided lines. This is a three piece item. Comes with tools to install. Very nice faucet. Venturi line of Hardware fits well with light gray to dark gray backgrounds. Water flows out toward the middle of my sink. An aerator would be nice to reduce splashing.

      I loved the look of this faucet so much, I purchased and installed 14 of them in a twin townhome I built. As other reviewers have stated, the plastic connector that attaches the water line coming into your home with the faucet cracks and fails. Water ran in our home for about 12 hours causing over $25,000 in flood damage and clean up costs. We gave Phister the benefit of the doubt that it was a fluke or over tightened by our plumber but the another one failed last night the same exact way. Horrible design. Will be replacing all of them. AVOID AVOID AVOID I will be leaving this review everywhere I can find a place to review this item. Review is for product only, not Home Depot

        DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS FAUCET! In March of 2016 we had a licensed plumber install this faucet in a new basement bathroom. Last week, over 2 years later, the hose shot off! The plastic fitting broke off and hot Water was shooting out of the hose all over the bathroom. Thank goodness I was home and heard it immediately. I ran down and turned off the shut off valve. We were leaving the next day for 8 days. With the amount of water that came out in 30 seconds, this could have flooded our basement completely in 8 days. Save yourself worry and money in the long run for buying a cheap faucet.

          By far the best bathroom faucet I have ever owned. The quality is awesome. The install was a breeze. The hoses just snap in place, the arrows that are on the bottom of the faucets were a brilliant idea and made the installation perfect. The tool provided eliminated all wrenches. Brilliant! Everything should be this easy.

          The faucet is very sleek. The only thing that worries me is after you turn the faucet off, water is leaking out. If you run your finger across the spout, more water comes out. Don’t know if this is unusual. I also love the push and seal drain. Didn’t even know it was going to have it! And the spot defense is another bonus.

          Looks, feels great. But the touted "unique ribbon" water flow is a major disappointment. It isn't a ribbon. It's a faucet without an aerator - which means it splashes water all over the vanity top. The burnished nickel shows water spots badly. Maybe that's a problem with all nickel fixtures? And an expensive faucet, I'm surprised how much plastic is used for the drain connection. The best thing about it is - it's not too tall. With our taller vanity and medicine cabinet mirrors, there wasn't enough clearance for many other models.

          Hi Rar,
          Thank you so much for your review, we appreciate the feedback and would like to have our support team get in touch to see if there is anything we can do to improve the stream of your Venturi faucet. Please give us a call at 1-800-732-8238. We also want to share a tip for keeping brushed nickel faucets clean. After each use, give them a quick wipedown with a damp cloth. If the hard water spots persist, a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar will power through them without damaging the finish or voiding your warranty. We look forward to hearing from you.
          Thanks!

            I love these new faucets! I have dual sinks and one has been broken for over a year. I had a friend install them who said it wasn't difficult at all. I love that the handles turn so easily. The water flow is very quiet and doesn't splash! Money has been very tight for me so I opted to get them for a long awaited Christmas gift to myself. They look very elegant and make me happy!

            Do Not Buy This Faucet! As with other reviewers I had the plastic connector let go at the main water line releasing water into the house not once but again with the replacement unit they sent me covered under the warranty. Second time it happened I was not home and 20k in damage. I am getting the run around from Pfister over this defective design.

                Great faucet, awesome deaign, poor water stream
                I just remodeled the master bathroom and decided to go with the entire Venturi line-up. The faucet deaign is very modern, installation was a piece of cake, and overall flows with the bathroom deaign. One thing that does bother me is the water stream. It doesnt seem to be very powerful. I took it apart thinking that the lines may have some dirt, but nothing. Not sure if everyone is experiencing this...

                  Pretty to look at, low price, disastrous results
                  We purchased this set for our new renovated upstairs bathroom. Professionally installed by our plumber of approx 20 yrs. Less than 30 days after installation, the thin plastic fitting on the cold water supply line cracked and broke off, resulting in a cascade of water spraying into the inside of our bathroom vanity which went undetected until we heard running water and saw water pouring / draining through the recessed lighting fixture in the ceiling of our kitchen on the floor below. After the ensuing chaos settled down, and upon examination of the faucet component materials, I have reached the following conclusions: (1) it would be extremely difficult to skimp much more on the quality and thickness of the plastic components of this faucet set. (2) purchasing and installing this faucet set is simply an accident waiting to happen, and a question of when will it happen, rather than if it will happen. Final opinion: Avoid at all costs.

                  So classy!
                  We recently replaced our counter tops and sinks and I bought these to complete the remodel. Absolutely love them. I love the way the water feels as it comes out of the faucet. The brushed nickel does show water spots easily, but I knew that going in and like them so much, I don't care. I just wipe it off. We hired a plumber to install 4 faucets and hook up new sinks so not sure how easy it was, but he didn't seem to have any issues.

                  Beautiful look hard install
                  This faucet has a beautiful look to it. The water nozzle causes the water to come out in a flat display. I purchased this item to match my venturi tub faucets I love the look very masculine. The faucet comes with two plastic hoses with male ends and a female adapter. This was for a double vanity sink on the end of a 50" run. I found that making up the brass flare fittings was very difficult and I could not get the plastic fittings to stop leaking. I ended up cutting the pre molded male fitting and using a compression fitting. Now it looks great and no leaks.

                  This cost me $1000 dollar damages
                  I hardly write reviews, but on this product I decided to write one. The product does look elegant but it have major flaw which can cause water leak in your bathroom. I installed the faucet , the first day hot water connection between the pipe connector and faucet connector start to leak. I looked and closely the washer seems to fit properly but the thread connection is where the problem was, so I decided to put Teflon tape and tighten the the thread with wrench. This seems to fix the issue but two days later same thing happen on cold side and this time I was not in the house. This caused major water damage in the house. The plastic pipe completely came out from connector pipe. This product does not mention using Teflon tape but installing faucet befor i see no way around. Also you can not rely on hand tighten the connectors, you must use wrench which is not mention in the instruction. If you have high pressure in pipe then connector will leak which is joint between plastic and metal. This is why my cold water connector came free.

                  Beautifully crafted faucet
                  The faucet was designed for a wide (8inch+) installation. However, following the maxim "Happy wife, Happy Wife" I tried and successfully added it to a traditional 6 inch sink. I gave it five stars for appearance, ease of installation and overall quality then ordered a second one. The faucet is beautifully crafted with a simple yet distinctive look. While I was worried about my narrow installation the faucet retains its remarkable appearance. We found it handsomely compliments the existing features in both bathrooms. The unique flat water stream both uses less water, yet has the pressure to quickly get soap off your hands. Installation is easy by design. Clear intuitive installation with all action steps designed to be easy to do in hard to reach places. The valve bodies are separated allowing quick alignment during installation. On the bottom of the valves are clear, color coded arrows to clearly mark the direction for installation and the handles simply sit on top. To help with alignment I used a T square first on the valves, then again with the tap (pictured). Best of all the kit includes a plastic multi-tool designed to work in closed spaces, no other tool needed. Once the fixtures are secured the supply lines just click into place. Add the handles using the provided allen wrench and you’re done! Pro Tip: Use a square to help line everything up. Much easier than eyeballing it!

                  A great faucet, slightly difficult to install, but many great features
                  This is a very nice faucet. I was surprised by both its quality and function. The handles move very well and the water flow is decent. The spout is flat, and it creates a similarly flat flow to the water. While it doesn't add anything in terms of function, it's an interesting effect that I like. The drain pop-up assembly is push button, so there is no rod to pull or push behind the spout. Simply push the drain to close it, and push it again to open it. It's a nice touch and makes the faucet distinctive. Installation was interesting. Aligning the faucet bodies was tricky. It took some time and trial and error to properly align each faucet and get the handles to move along the correct arc. Connections are quick via simple push to connect fittings. The faucet comes with a special wrench for tightening all of the hex nuts and completing the install. That wrench is the only tool needed for the install. There are two male to male reducing adapters that are used to connect the supply lines to the faucet. The included wrench will tighten the adapters to the 1/2" supply lines, and the faucet connections can be made to the other end of the adapters and tightened by finger - no wrench required. Not having to work a plier behind the sink was very nice and made completing the installation very easy. Overall, I really like the faucet - despite the difficulties installing. After installing it, my wife and I are considering moving it and getting a second one for our master bath sinks.
