KOHLER K-692-7 Clairette Kitchen Sink Faucet, Black Black Reviews
I have had this faucet in my kitchen for 3 years and the spray/stream button SUCKS! The rubber cover constantly comes off and tonight it final broke. To my complete disbelief, to replace the rubber cover you have to buy the entire spray head for over $200! Also while water is running the handle has dripped on and off for the last year. You would think for a $450 faucet it would last longer than 3 years. I am very disappointed. I recommend that you not buy this faucet and maybe consider another brand.Update. It seems that my spray button cover was defective and was replaced at no charge 3 years after purchase! Thats a good company standing behind their product. The new spray button cover is secure compaired to the orignal. I am still not impressed with the operation of the spray/stream button. Because of its akward operation I don't use it much. I will buy more Kohler products.
The pictures of the Kohler Faucet were enough to attract me to it but when I opened the box upon its arrival I was smitten. I ordered the Vibrant Stainless so it would coordinate with my stainless stove and dishwasher. The Faucet is sleek, beautiful, and works like a charm. It was simple to install. My husband mounted it directly to the sink since we have a split sink. We love the pull down feature. This item was totally worth the investment.
I looked for a long time for a white modern faucet with a pull down spray. This is beautiful. It is large, so appropriate for a larger kitchen. It is easy and convenient to use. I would definitely recommend this faucet.
This faucet is expensive. There is no way around that fact. It is expensive and worth every penny. We were looking at another faucet with a similar style from another manufacturer (Danze I think), which we checked out at our local homede*ot. The Danze we looked at was cheaper than this at around $400, but the quality was no where near this one.This faucet has that weighty feel that we associate with quality products. The mechanism for switching from a shower to a stream feels really robust and uses high quality thick rubber that feels great on your finger when switching modes.Now I pull the head off and move it around my sink with ease to clean the sinks 8 corners (we have a 30 inch wide double sink). The swivel motion is really great too, when you pull the head out and are moving it around the sink, the faucet will at first provide a little resistance, and once you break that friction, it moves effortlessly to allow me to have full access to my hole sink with the faucet head.I have been involved with the construction of high end houses in the past, and this is the best kitchen faucet I have come across.It really is flawless and you will not regret buying it.
This is the third faucet we bought when we did our kitchen remodel! We tried being thrifty the first time, went too big the second and finally got it right on the third try. We wanted a pull out faucet, but it had to be high enough to easily rinse out large and tall items without pulling it out every time. This one does it all. Pricey? Not for what you are getting. The quality is high. I know it will last for years and years. The look? I fell in love with it at first sight. We did an Art Nouveau kitchen and this faucet with its floral-like lines fits right in. I know if they had the technology to build one like this in the early 1900's they would have done it just like this!
Faucet is nice - a bit larger than I expected. I had considered only the height, but not how far the water stream would protrude into the sink. But this unconsidered depth isn't really a problem - I mention it only so you might consider a factor I overlooked.The installation instructions are a bit weak. On the 4th step, they tell you to "Remove excess plumbers putty," but they don't ever tell you to install the "escutcheon" cover, tho the picture depicts so doing. No big deal, but a bit confusing.Where installation becomes a problem is somewhere between Steps 7 and 9. They never even MENTION how/where/when to tighten the fixture! So I'll clue you in... When you "Partially thread screws into the ring" - the ring that's really more of a flange than a ring and is made of solid brass - make the screws protrude by maybe 1/8 an inch, and when you're threading the ring (flange) onto the faucet, don't tighten it all the way (leaving the "approximately 1/4" (6 mm) between the ring and the sink" as mentioned in the instructions - you'll eventually need to tighten those screws to secure the faucet to the sink.At some point, you'll want to use a large headed (#1?) Phillips head screw driver to tighten the screws against the sink. This apparently is what solidifies your installation, making the faucet rigid and solidly affixed to the sink. They never tell you to tighten these two screws. If you follow Kohler's instructions to the "tee", your faucet will be wobbly and not secured to the sink.As far as the faucet itself, it's very nice. The "button" to switch between spray and normal flow is a little hard to get used to, since it's behind a rubber water seal. But the button is a minor issue. My only real complaint is that the water flow is less than I would ideally like. It's not significantly different from my old faucet, which was a "standard" style single-handle model. I wish the hoses were 1/2 inch instead of 3/8 so I would get more flow.
