Price Pfister 52650SS Contempra Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull-Down Spout Sprayer and Soap Dispenser, Stainless Steel

Faucet design is a matter of taste, but I think this one is among the nicest looking in the same category of faucets. I am not a big fan of the feature that requires you to turn the water off and then back on to switch off the spray feature, but that's not a deal breaker for me. In terms of other features and performance, I have no complaints. I did have one easily resolvable problem though.

After owning the faucet for a little over a year, I started to expereince dripping under the sink, below the handle section. I think this is similar to the problem reported by a previous reviewer here who seemed to needlessly buy a whole new faucet as a result. I called Price Pfister about the problem and was very impressed with their customer service. When I called the 1-800 customer service number, I got through to an agent quickly and explained the problem.

This faucet is by far the nicest and most functional I've ever used (mine is now about 2 years old). The pull out sprayer is amazingly useful and really handy. After 2 years, no drips, no problems. I would have given it 5 stars except for 2 things: the included soap dispenser dribbles for days after you use it (and I've had it replaced once) and the sprayer is somewhat awkward because once you set it to spray, you have to turn off the water to stop spray and go back to a stream.
I'd still buy it again in a minute.

I should have paid more attention to other people's comments. As others stated in their reviews, the faucet turns itself off unless it is wide open. This will drive you mad. I removed the handle and tightened the compression nut as much as I dared, but still the problem persisted. I have now had the set installed for a year and I guess enough deposits have built up internally that the self turn-off problem has subsided. The soap dispenser stopped working about 2 months ago. I found the the tiny hole at the tip seemed to be internally lined with plastic and was constricted. I used a 1/16" drill and carefully drilled through the tip. This corrected the problem (at least for now). This set is expensive and should work better for the amount of money. Also, the extreme high rise of the faucet leads to horrible splashing problems.
