Delta Faucet Pilar Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispener

Just had the faucet installed today (Sept 15) I connected the wires and batteries in five minutes. Turned it on and water came out. Touched the top of the faucet and the water flow stopped. Touched the faucet again and the water started flowing again. It's big, I mean very big. It's much bigger than I thought it would be. Man, this faucet is BIG. I like new toys, and this is a toy that I will play with all night. Other reviewer had problems, so I'll be watching closely.

So far so good, it even matches the granite counter top we got. (New kitchen)

Oh yah, shipping was next day as well, paid a little more but I got this sucker when I needed it.

Update: Two days later:

Water leak under the sink, coming from the solenoid. Not good, might be a bad solenoid or poor install. No touch 2 go feature, no water. Can't risk water damage to my new cabinets. I still like the faucet, plumber is coming back tomorrow. If he can't fix the leak, I'll...Read more

After opening the box and seeing all the parts, I decided to have the plumber put it in when reconnecting my sink and fixing a leaky valve. It was the first touch faucet he's installed, and did take him a bit longer than regular faucets. He made sure the solenoid and battery connections were working properly, and the faucet has performed flawlessly since. It's a bigger faucet if you're coming from a small older style one, but it certainly isn't enormous and many that are being made now are much bigger. From bottom on counter to top is only 13 1/2".
The touch feature is so handy, you can turn the faucet on or off with the back of your hand, a pinky, an elbow, whatever's handy while your hands are filled or dirty. The water temp is preset by the handle position, which you can also use if you want to turn the...Read more

This faucet was installed as a part of a major kitchen renovation. It seemed like a good idea - in keeping with moderately high-end appliances I installed. Unfortunately, the faucet will drive you crazy! This thing goes on and off unpredictably, seems prone to heat - and thus triggers itself on and off when using hot water, and even seems sensitive to breathing! My wife is ready to throw it out. Perhaps mine is defective -I've called Delta and am 'waiting for a callback' so I can't say whether they will find a cure. But for nearly $500, I wouldn't put myself out - I'd pay half as much and not need to worry about it...
