I have to replace my kitchen faucet. Old one was a Delta, tall neck w/pull-out sprayer and mixer/on-off in a separate hole to the side. Over the course of one year, I've had two major problems. First, the connection from the pull-out hose to the sprayer is badly designed and has never worked well--with the neck design, the hose will shoot water up and around the bend, into the cabinet, through the pipe holes in the floor of the cabinet, onto the top of my table saw in the basement. I fix it, but it keeps working itself loose again.
Second, the whole mixer/on off adjuster seems messed up. Something has come loose in the back, so it requires pressure straight down in the back to shut it off instead of simply moving the handle down.
I'm done with Delta.
Anyone have a better brand to recommend (and a good cheap place to shop for the line)? Looking for a line that is solid, reliable, and has some transitional decor in it. Willing to spend some for quality hardware that I don't have to futz with.
