I don't like the way the handle turns the faucet on and off. It's awkward and counter intuitive. There are three options: Normal, spray, and a third "weird" spray - not sure what its purpose is. The spray option is too spread out making it less effective.

This faucet is aesthetically great. I had to send it back because it was not quite right for my kitchen, but I struggled with the decision.

Just installed for 2weeks so far it’s perfect and it looks beautiful

Remodeled kitchen and love the new faucet

I like this faucet which is very good built quality. Feel solid and deluxe.

This faucet is priced right, very solid, simple and works great. That doesn't sound like a stellar review, but compare it to my prior 4 faucets from the fancier brands that cost twice as much, were very complicated, looked the same and worked just so so.

It’s expensive but worth it. Well made. Not too difficult to install with some home improvement skills. Works great. The old faucet we had you had to hunt for the exact off position and it would drip. With the hands free option it’s never an issue plus this model lets you turn the faucet off at all temp settings instead of finding the exact center position.

I love this faucet. It works well and the faucet swivels easily from one sink to the other. It is easy to clean with a dry cloth and never shows water spots. I would recommend it.

I bought this faucet on the recommendation of our plumber (a Master Plumber) who absolutely loves it. I was also considering a similar product by Moen 7594EORB Arbor With Motionsense One-Handle High Arc Pulldown Kitchen Faucet, Oil Rubbed Bronze but some of the reviews were not favorable. Same price range. So I asked our plumber for a recommendation. It has only been installed about two weeks but I love it. It works well turning on or off with just a tap. Flow can easily be adjusted to spray, the switch is on the bell - so handy. The pull down feature is magnetized so that it will not sag over time and always connect. Flexibility is great - easily moved around the sinks. It's operated only by batteries, 6 AA Duracells came in the package. Documentation says they last 2 years. We'll see. There is no AC adapter available which I really did not like. Battery pack is easily accessible it's on a long wire and can be hung in the most convenient place. The indicator light at the base changes with the water temperature a great feature. I am a little miffed today to see the price has dropped almost $100 since my purchase date July 22 but c'est la vie!

I purchased this for a kitchen remodel. There are some things you should consider:Location: I have this on my island, which means everyone touches it as they walk by. When we have company over it get accidentally touched all the time. If it was against a wall, this issue would be non-existent.Kids: My children are older (youngest is 8) and I figured it would be kind of a novelty to be touching the faucet all the time and eventually it would wear off into regular use, which it has. My friend got the same faucet and her children are younger (youngest is 2) and they treat it like a toy with their grubby hands touching it all the time just to see it turn on and off and keeping it clean is driving her nuts.Why: Why do you need a touch faucet? Is it because it is a neat feature? Is it because your hands are constantly in stuff? It was a little hard for my OCD brain to be okay with the handle in the on position so I can take advantage of the touch feature when I actually need it.Now onto my observations about the product itself:Finish: The ORB finish is nice (Delta calls it Venetian bronze), with a lot of "rub" in the oil rubbed, but this finish is exclusive to Delta. Don't argue with me. Oil Rubbed Bronze means different things to different companies (think "red," there are a million variations of "red"). Beware that delta doesn't make soap dispensers or RO dispensers (they have a faucet called a "beverage dispenser" for $$$ that looks like a bathroom faucet, not what I wanted) so your finish will be slightly different on those other sink items should you use them. The RO dispenser was especially difficult to find a good match, so I will have to live with the finish discrepancies.Installation: My husband hates things that aren't self explanatory, so I did the install myself as I like to follow directions :) The directions were very clear and easy to follow and it only took me 30 minutes including checking/adjusting where I hadn't connected properly.I have a couple complaints:1) The battery pack just sits on the bottom of your cabinet...what? no hook, no shelf? It must be two inches from the walls to work properly. I am going to rig up something higher since we have an RO system under the sink along with the normal stuff and there is no guarantee this battery pack won't get shoved against the cabinet or bumped by something that will cause it to "complete the circuit" and turn on the faucet and heaven forbid it get wet!2) The pull out faucet has a weight on the line, so it returns to position, but the weight is just a heavy ring that slides around. For my island install, the supply lines stick out of the bottom of the cabinet and the ring clanks on the supply valves when I use the pull out. If I hadn't purchased the touch faucet, the line would be higher (the touch solenoid pack lengthens the line) and I wouldn't have this problem. I considered disconnecting the touch, but I paid $$$ for it, so that seemed silly. As a solution, I checked my Moen pull out faucet in the laundry which has a two part weight that you sandwich on the line and fasten together. I am going to use that weight instead so I don't have this stupid ring sliding around clanking into things. Really Delta, c'mon.3)One other thing to be aware of is that the touch feature is far from silent. When you touch the faucet , the solenoid opens or closes and it make an "oomph" noise every time (think about when your automatic lawn sprinklers turn on...if you are near the valves, you hear them engage and disengage) and really, it is being slammed on and slammed off every time you use the faucet, so it is louder than I expected. Even if you use the handle instead of the touch, the solenoid still has to do it's job and open, so there is no way to quietly turn on the water even a trickle without the "oomph" noise. For my house, this isn't a problem and helps me know if my kids are playing with the faucet (I can hear it from anywhere in my 2200 sq ft house), but my sister in law has to keep her house quiet while her husband sleeps during the day and this would not work for her. I also have to replace the solenoids in my sprinklers every few years, so I would imagine this component in the faucet would be need to be replaced more frequently since it's used harder.Now I can't figure out why, but when I initially hooked everything up before turning on the water supply, the touch feature worked on the neck, the handle, the spray, just about everywhere I touched turned it on or off. Then I turned on the water supply and now the touch only works on the base and the handle. Perhaps that is a good thing since I want to be able to use the sprayer and move the neck as I am cleaning, but I am not sure if it is supposed to be that way or not and I haven't had time to call Delta to figure it out.Bottom line:To me it is kind of like getting a touch screen phone, once you start using it, you find you easily get into the habit of tapping and forget how to use regular old phones that have buttons! But time will tell if the clanking and noise prove to be too much.In retrospect I think I would have been just as happy with the regular faucet and truly I just paid for the novelty of the touch faucet.**update 12/27/13: we have been using this faucet for awhile now and I don't notice the sound of it coming on and off anymore. I find myself tapping the other faucets in the house even though they don't have touch :) when I have company over, I use the handle because they just don't get it even when I show them. The finish is holding up well (no waterspots). A few things I have noticed: the spray is very powerful which is great for cleaning the grid in the bottom of my deep stainless steel sink, but if you wash your hands or rinse your dishes anywhere above the rim of the sink, water tends to spray all over the counters. Not a big deal if you use the handle, but i have become lazy and just leave it on mostly full blast hot. Also, we must have overcome a learning curve, because now the faucet turns on or off wherever we touch it.

We purchased the Venetian Bronze version to match our kitchen and couldn't be more pleased with our decision. The finish is a very high quality. The single lever adjustment gives smooth and precise adjustment of the temperature and flow rate. The spray head docks easily and stays in place. The switch in the head to go between regular and shower flow works nicely and we love the shower flow with the head docked for ease of rinsing. There is a counter weight that goes on the line under the sink that aids in pulling the line back into the high-arc when you're docking the spray head. I watched the plumber during the installation and it was very straight forward. We had it installed during a kitchen upgrade and the reaction of the plumber when he saw that we had purchased Delta was very positive! We highly recommend this faucet.

Five stars because the Delta Faucet 9197T-RB-DST shipped immediately and arrived promptly in good condition.The faucet is a high-rise pull-down with a switchable aerator/spray head and electronic hands-free on/off. The electronic part is powered by alkaline AA cells (included) and requires no wiring. We had it installed, and our plumber felt that his flat rate for kitchen faucets was appropriate, which means that there is no particular difficulty in installing this faucet. It looks great, works great, and replaces an older discontinued Delta one-hole-installation single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet with no adapters or modifications to our sink or counter top.The "RB" in the part number refers to the finish, "rubbed bronze." The "rubbed bronze" is a baked-on enamel finish that appears durable, and has a special guarantee for durability. It's quite dark, not a matte gold brass finish. The "DST" refers to the "Cassidy" style line of faucets and accessories. The Delta model 9197T is available in a variety of styles and finishes.You don't need to use the automatic on/off feature, but if you turn it on and your hands are wet, you can simply touch it with your elbow to turn it off, and back on again. The literature says that it will turn itself off if you leave it on more than two minutes, but we haven't tested that.We recommend the Delta Faucet 9197T-RB-DST faucet to anyone who wants the elegance and durability of a higher-end Delta kitchen faucet with the automatic off-on feature, and we recommend Amazon.com as a reliable source at a good price with prompt delivery.
