Decent faucet
By Nuknuk
I bought this from one of the leading hardware stores close to home for the price which is about the same. I was afraid to do a DIY but also determined to save money instead of having a plumber coming to my house. I probably watched around 10 video tutorial online on how to replace a kitchen faucet before finally deciding I can do it. I did my bathroom sink faucet before but this time I was a little hesitant with all the additional piping, the sprayer, dishwasher connection and with the disposal close to it.One of the assistants at the store suggested a special wrench called a basin wrench. I did not buy it because I want to try my own set of tools first before buying something that may only have a one-time use. Actually, the only difficult part for replacing faucets is removing the old nuts under the sink. If it is too tight, rusty, loose or damaged, then you will need the help of special tools. Luckily, I was able to remove them using a regular large mouth adjustable wrench.Placing the new faucet is much easier than removal of the old one. The 400-DST is very easy to install. The included instruction is not very easy but also not very difficult to follow. It is just that there are too many texts and languages which was confusing at first. Just make sure you have plumber's putty and Teflon tape around. And also, make sure do not over tighten them as most of the threads are plastic in construction. Just use your hands to tighten them.After installation, run the water a few minutes to release all factory residues. Tilt to the left for hot water, right for cold water, and middle for warm.This faucet is not the fancy type. It is very simple looking and just at the price range I need for a regular counter top I have in my townhouse. If I have granite counter top, I might look for a different kind.Cons:- The hoses that came with this model is cheap plastic that is not easy to bend. Compare that to stainless braided hoses that are sturdier and much easier to work with.- Mostly plastic.

By Larry
Bought this dude a year ago. Works good and all, but like the above review, I too noticed the hose is too stiff, takes forever to loosen up even with hot water running thru it. Then when you put it away and the hose cools off it stiffens up again in the bent position and round and round you go.HERE'S A REALLY HANDY TIP!!: The faucet sprayer design has the diverter valve for the spray incorporated in the hose connection under the sink. It's the little black plastic end on the hose that you plug into the fitting when you install the hose. SAVE THE LITTLE PLUG THAT YOU REMOVE TO INSTALL THE HOSE END!!! (like I wish I'd done!!) The little black plastic end on the hose assembly is very brittle and will break off if you pull too hard on the hose to get the stiff SOB to come out like it should. This will cause a flood of water under the sink every time you try to use the faucet. If you save the plug removed at installation, you can at least plug up this connection (after removing the broken piece) and use the faucet until you can get a new free replacement hose assembly from Delta (10 -14 days) or buy a new one from the store (at the tune of $30 or so). You can't just get the little black plastic end (go figure).All in all, this is a good faucet. But just don't try to treat it like your old one, 'cause just like everything else these days, new doesn't mean better.

By Thomas M. Hauwiller
Ten minute install, no tools. Supply tubes with connectors attached were included. This model allowed mounting of a filter at the spout. The rotation of the faucet and the operation of the handle were noticeably smoother than the faucet I replaced. Some would quibble with the sprayer that has more flow at lower pressure than I was accustomed to. Lastly, shutting off the faucet requires that the handle be centered or it will trickle, annoying at first.
