I procrastinated for a long time over the choice of faucet for my kitchen sink. Previous big-name brands have been a disappointment, and cost way too much. This one is fantastic. It's very well made, with quality materials and a simple and functional design. I love the matt black finish, which I installed on a white sink. It looks very classy, and less obtrusive than my previous shiny nickel faucet, which was also big, heavy and cumbersome. I've used this faucet for well over a year without any issues. So far, the finish, the cartridge, and the spray head have held up well, and I'm very impressed. The light-weight pull-down mechanism, with weighted and braided hose, is so slick and easy to use. The spray head slips effortlessly back into position with a positive snap and no need for a magnet to hold it. Guide the head back into place, rather than letting it go, to avoid damaging the hose to spray-head connection. The return mechanism works WAY better than the previous pull-out faucets I owned, and the braided supply hoses under the sink are so flexible and easy to mount that it takes up much less space in the cupboard than my previous faucets did. No more tangling of the return mechanism and no more interference of supply hoses with the garbage bin and other stuff under the sink.I mounted my faucet with the cartridge and handle facing forward, so the hot/cold on/off control works consistently with my single-handle shower faucets, and it gives a nice, clean look to the sink. I also like that the buttons on the spray head can be rotated to the back, to further enhance the clean, sleek look. The cartridge works smoothly, and allows for easy control of the flow, which was a constant source of frustration with the touchy and constantly-loosening handle of my previous faucets.A matt black finish can be difficult to keep looking good without water-spots, scuffing, or greasy marks marring it, but I've found the perfect solution. I gently rub undiluted dishwashing detergent into the finish with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to strip any oils. Then I thoroughly rinse, dry and protect the finish with a coating of Trident Pure Silicone Grease, which is clear, lightweight, neither sticky nor runny. I use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently rub the silicone into the finish and wipe it off. This is super quick and easy to do, and it brings out a deep, matt black finish that stays good for many weeks, as long as I wipe away splashes whenever I'm done with the sink.
