Review on Arofa Champagne Bronze Kitchen Faucet With Pull Out Sprayer: Upgrade Your Sink With A Single Handle Design And Golden Finish by Joe Drew

We chose the brushed finish which looks great with a standard steel sink. The sink is old, but still looks shiny and we decided to upgrade the faucet as getting a new sink would be a whole counter top with a new style sink project which we are deferring for now. The faucet is made in China, and appears to be well made with quality materials. The packaging was excellent so there were no scratches or blemishes on our faucet. Installation is easy, but in our case some old pipes needed to be cut which I decided to have a plumber handle. My guess is a newer home (mine was built in 1974) installation might be just a screw up the new faucet to some existing hardware. I would not need a plumber to replace this new fixture at some future time. Also, if we do get a new sink someday this faucet will go on the new sink. After about a month's use everything cleans up nicely and it looks great. The action of the water lever is smooth and feels solid making control the water flow and temperature easy. The incorporated sprayer is great. It pulls out of the faucet easily, doesn't shoot water all over, and recoils back to the faucet with authority. I have seen these faucet sprayers in other people's homes that seemed to be hanging out and that's not the case with this one. I didn't see any "parts" list in the installation instructions. I'm not sure if you could buy a replacement cartridge for this one if it started to leak. I think it is well made and the manufacturer has a 5 year full replacement policy so I'm not worried.One tip, originally we had the control lever on the right side. This meant you pull the lever toward you to get hot water and push the back towards the wall for cold. After a couple of days I loosened the main bold securing the faucet and rotated it to put the lever on the left side. Now you push the lever back for hot and pull towards you for cold. You could rotate it less and have the lever face you and then left would get hot water and right would get cold. If you install the faucet yourself you can move it yourself if you want. If you have the faucet installed for you, then tell the installer where you prefer to have the control lever positioned.
