I read a review that there's a lot of splash. This is true for me too. It might be because I changed the faucets and the holes were already there. If you're installing a new countertop, this probably isn't an issue. The faucets look impressive. Despite the splash, I'm happy with the purchase.

This faucet handle operates smoothly, and the faucet looks nice. The gold tone is perfect for us, not rose gold as others have suggested. However, I do not recommend this for use in shallow sinks. In our sink, the faucet directs the water to hit the drain assembly and splashes up out of the sink, which means water splashing on the surrounding counter and the faucet itself. There's a mess to clean up every single time we use.

Water splashes everywhere when washing your hands. The way the faucet is designed and the water flow comes out, it’s rather messy. But it works for us. I have a towel handy anyway.

Very pretty! Heavy and well made. Love the single handle…very streamline. Color is beautiful. Got two for double vanity for master remodel. Love it.

cannot remove filter to clean!!!

Purchased this and love the way it looks. BUT the flow only sprays out one side and comes out full force. I am thinking the filter (aerator) needs cleaning but we cannot get the aerator out to clean. This faucet is unusable until we can replace or get it fixed - had plumbers and a builder look at it and they don't know how to get the aerator out as the new keys do not fit the rectangular faucet.

Terrible water flow - splashes everywhere

I’ve had this faucet for approximately 6 years. Love the look, beautiful. However, water flow is horrible - splashes everywhere. So bad that I avoid using the sink. Visitors also comment on the bad splashing of water. Will be replacing with a new faucet - very disappointed, as this was not a cheap faucet. Was expecting better quality from Delta.

Corrosion , Corrosion, Corrosion -- DO NOT BUY!!!

Have three Vero (brilliant stainless) lavatory faucets plus roman bath fixture. Ends (at spout) immediately began corroding (no a buildup issue but actual metal corrosion). Delta replaced all products under warranty but upon re-installation, corrosion immediately began again. Got to second tier customer support (Reyna) and she tried to help but in the end, Delta would not agree their product is defective and told me to clean more often. They will not refund $ or provide solution for the problem. The water will not completely drain from the strainer so regardless of how many times it's wiped down during the day, the water sits and corrodes the metal. Again, this is NOT a cleaning issue, it's defective metal chemically reacting to city water. This problem is documented many times on this web site and others so do your research. BTW, this does not happen on my other Delta, non-Vero products. Spend thousands on a product that looks like crap. DO NOT BUY! I encourage Delta to contact me again to find a solution, please.

Great faucet - not for the novice installer

I was a little nervous because so many people have said the splash from the faucet was too much. We have found that not pushing the lever all the way to the stop will limit the flow enough to eliminate excessive splashing. Do most people only use their faucet wide open? It is possible to calibrate the flow from a decent valve below the sink if you can't control yourself from pushing the lever all the way for maximum water flow. Do you turn your garden hose on full blast and complain it is too forceful? No, the flow is limited by using the valve to limit the flow. It is not rocket science and using common sense before installation will save you from the negative feelings of a poor review when most of the complaint could be solved with some thought on your own. There is no aerator - there may be splash with any non-aerated faucet. Take into consideration the sink design does it have a flat bottom? is it too small for the flow of what you expect, is it deep enough for Niagara Falls-like flow?

Looks very expensive!

I haven't installed this yet, but it is very substantial and heavy. The finish is very pretty. It is a very dark finish (not black) with flecks of bronze. It looks very expensive. I'm using it with an antique gold framed mirror and James Martin walnut finish vanity. The combination works well together. A copper colored mirror would work really well too since it would bring out the bronze in the faucet finish. I have used Delta products for years because they are dependable. I expect his faucet to last a long time and is a great addition to my powder room remodel.

Poor Quality

One of these started turning itself on from the weight of the handle, and leaking out the side of the handle. I opened it up and took out the cartridge, and ordered a replacement per the manufacturer, which arrived and looked nothing like the original cartridge. I went through the parts list and finally figured out that the manufacturer had the wrong part number assigned to their parts. I ordered the correct cartridge and it did not fix the issue. The problem seems to be poor machining of the threads of the valve body. This should be a $100 faucet based on the quality.
