Review on Kraus KPF-1610MB Bolden 18-Inch Commercial Kitchen Faucet: Dual Function Pull-Down Sprayhead, Matte Black Finish by James Davis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended. Poor design, plastic spray head with thin metal coating

Goods return. Advertised as "solid brass" upon purchase (later corrected) but found upon installation that the atomizer head was plastic with a thin metal coating. It looks cheap. I bought it specifically because I wanted an all-metal atomizer head (and subsequently found a Primy product that fit the bill). Also, hot and cold are swapped, resulting in a "pull for hot" operation that is contrary to North American practice and is unsafe. Also, the upper U-shaped part that holds the hose sticks out horizontally compared to the lower part that holds the hose, so the hose isn't perpendicular to the spray head in the mount, but at an awkward-looking angle backwards. . Finally, when released, the atomizer head does not return to the holder, it must be pushed in. Bad design and annoying. There are many better options.

Pros
  • Kitchen sanitary ware
Cons
  • Difficult to tell
