Delta 21996LF Windemere Kitchen Faucet, Chrome

Pros: Cheap ($70 at the time of purchase), works, looks good, mostly metal, readily available repair partsCons: Handles wobble a bit, modest water flow, sprayer is all plastic.Bottom line: A decent cheap utility room or economy kitchen faucet. I would prefer a bit higher water flow, but it is good enough. The build quality is decent, not as good as more expensive Deltas, but not as bad as many similar priced off brand faucets, and there are readily available repair parts. The valve kit for this faucet is the Peerless #RP54801 (delta's off brand).This is cheap ($70 at the time) for a Delta faucet. The main reason to buy a Delta is that you can get low cost repair parts for all of the pieces that are likely to fail. I have some delta faucets that I have kept working now for 15+ years by replacing the valves a couple of times. Delta tends to reuse the same internals for many years, so you can usually keep getting parts for a faucet long after the model that you bought is no longer made. I bought this to replace a Danze faucet at my utility sink that suddenly failed, it was one of those with lifetime ceramic valves, so there was no way to repair it or even take it apart to see what was wrong with it. Delta's may not last as long as some of the other premium bands and they cost more then some off brands, but they are easy to repair. It only takes me like 15 min to swap out the valves in a Delta, while if something goes wrong with another brand I have to replace the whole facet. So in the long run I believe that Deltas are both cheaper and less trouble then other brands because you can just keep them working almost indefinably using $15 repair kits every 2-7 years.

I absolutely love this faucet set. I wanted a faucet that was a little higher to accommodate my water filter and leave decent room for filling and cleaning pots and pans. This faucet set is very attractive, installed fairly easily and gives me the extra space I wanted. The sprayer works very well. It is a little closer to the cold water faucet than I'd prefer but in the short time I've had it, I've grown used to it. Overall, I absolutely love this faucet set.

I bought this faucet nearly two years ago but only got around to installing it a few days ago. Installation went well. The faucet works OK but, for some reason I have not figured out, it makes a fairly loud "thud" noise when the water is turned on, hot or cold, it makes no difference. If the valves are opened very slowly the thud doesn't occur right away and, if left at a very low flow setting, it might not occur at all but, if the valve is opened further, no matter how gradually, the thud noise will eventually occur. I've never experienced any faucet behaving this way so it makes me a little nervous. Hopefully it's not an indication of something on the verge of failure.The other thing that worries me about this faucet is the flimsiness. The stem assemblies are not at all rigid, they're really flimsy and deflect quite noticably when operating the valves. I worry that the repeated bending that's taking place each time the valves are operated will eventually lead to failure.Based on my previous experience with Delta faucets (all manfactured years, if not decades, earlier than this one) I am very surprised and disappointed in how flimsy this faucet seems to be. I chose this faucet primarily because of my great experience with Delta faucets over the past 50 years or so. The old Delta kitchen faucet that I replaced with this one dates back to 1989 and was built like a tank. It was heavy cast brass construction. This new one seems to be mostly foil thin metal that is reinforced by lightweight plastic. I seriously doubt this new faucet is going to last 33 plus years like the old one did. I'm a little sad about that, especially considering the cost of these things and the hassle of replacing them.Would I buy this faucet again? I can't answer that question yet. We'll have to see how it performs over time. My wife and I do both like the looks of it and we like the higher spiggot and the fact that the spiggot is easier to swing than the one on the old faucet was so it does have those things going for it.

This Delta faucet has top-notch quality, nice appearance, and at a great price. Installation was straightforward and hooked up to original plumbing. The added sprayer was a bonus. Excellent product.

Nice basic kitchen faucet. No issues.

Very easy to install - purchased with a reduced price - another satisfied purchase @ AMAZON

The faucet and sprayer was very easy to install, took only minutes to replace my old one and put in the new one, works well, seems to be good quality, would buy it again definitely if needed

have not had a chance to install yet, I have PEX water lines and need a few more tools to do the job
