KRAUS Oletto Single Handle Pull Down Kitchen Faucet in Spot Free Stainless Steel, KPF-2820SFS

I am absolutely in love with this faucet! It’s tall, sleek, and gives my kitchen such a fancy, high-end look. The stainless steel finish ties in perfectly with my appliances, making everything look so cohesive and elevated. I had gone shopping and found a faucet that looked nearly identical—for $2000! I knew I needed that look, but the price was outrageous. Then I found this one, and honestly, it looks just as good—probably even better—for a fraction of the cost. It completely transforms the kitchen. Everyone compliments it, and I recommend it to anyone wanting that luxury designer vibe without the insane price tag. A total must-buy!

This was easy to install. It looks high end and functions perfectly. The water pressure is great and adds style to the kitchen. Great upgrade.

My Kholer faucet was on back order. I was so disappointed it wasn’t going to arrive on time. This faucet was a very close match to the style of my matching accessories. In the end, I might cancel my kholer one and keep the black. It was meant to be temporary, and I’m considering make it permanent and mix the black in with the brass. Looks nice.

The things I like about this faucet:It is solid and well-builtThe water flow is strong, allowing me to clean the edges of the sink.Everything about it after a few months of use, is working perfectly.Things I don't love about it.The instructions were not the best or easiest to follow.The water flow is strong, and the narrow spray on a shallow sink will splash all over.The sensor only turns on the water if the water valve is already open on the faucet. I found that annoying, and it's not obvious how to disable the sensor once it's connected.

Firstly, all of the parts were in the box (great start) and the directions shouldn't really be necessary, but they were pretty thorough all the same. The manual was helpful, if for no other reason than to supply the part number for the replacement cartridges (years down the line you may have to replace the mechanism inside the handle) and it's the only way I would have found out that THERE IS AN AC ADAPTER AVAILABLE! Supposedly the batteries last 18 months. That's about 6 years too short in my opinion. I'm sorry, I don't want to fuss with batteries for a faucet. I have tools and know how to use them. Changing the faucet itself would have taken a little less than an hour (removal + install) except I had to replace a dodgey supply valve first. Thank goodness for sharkbite fittings (who-ha-ha).So, two things regarding install. Get yourself some blue threadlock and use it on the two screws on the underside of the sink. The number one complaint about these single post faucets is they get loose over time. This threadlock should stop that, but the blue is removable. Red threadlock however will be an absolute nightmare, and is unnecessary.Functionality: Our old faucet made you choose between freezing cold water or visiting the burn unit. This valve is delightfully forgiving. One thing I misunderstood about how the faucet works is the automatic feature. To use the automatic feature, you set the temperature you want, leave the handle in the "on" position, and use the sensor to turn the faucet off. I thought you could use the handle or the sensor to turn on the faucet, but that is false. You can disable the sensor and use only the handle or just use the sensor. I just finished installing ours an hour ago, and we're already getting used to it (lots of automation in the house), but it will be fun to see people fumble with it who visit rarely. This is a water-saving faucet, but you would never know it. Our old faucet would have given young Greta Thunberg a stroke. It dumped so much water, but frankly, the pressure is higher with this focused spray nozzle. Blasting food from dishes will be easier.The supply lines are 3/8" compression-style fittings. This is the same size as my supply line. Locally, the only 3/8 - 3/8 braided supply line I could get is female to female (specifically, a dishwasher kit), but the connection from the faucet is also female. Fret not. You can go to the orange box store and get LFA-110 3/8 in OD coupling ("in" is inches, and this needs to be brass) or get a few extra here:https://www.amazon.com/ZKZX-Compression-Connector-Straight-Coupling/dp/B08TVMPZVN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=39C59MR01OOVZ&keywords=3%2F8%2BOD%2Bcoupling&qid=1704941759&sprefix=3%2F8%2Bod%2Bcoupling%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-3&th=1(ASIN = B08TVMPZVN)Update: It has been about seven months, and we still absolutely love our faucet. There have been no malfunctions as of yet, and I have since installed another for a family member. They have been equally happy with it.

I went off the reviews to select this product. I have a large new island and wanted a statement piece of high quality without breaking the bank. I also wanted the faucet to be sturdy and “not plastic”. This is a beautiful faucet and greatly priced! We usually order kohler or delta and I will be on the lookout for Kraus from now on!

This is a great looking and good performing faucet. It was easy to install, and after an initial learning period, the touchless/wave feature has been wonderful. It's been getting steady use for 7 months, and it hasn't needed new batteries yet!It hasn't stained, or spotted. It's easy to keep it clean. I would recommend this faucet for anyone looking for a gold touchless faucet.
