looks good performs poorly

Beautiful looking faucet and took about 6 months to get it off backorder. Flow rate is mediocre as others have mentioned and usability is difficult in terms of reaching areas of the sink. The worst part is because the hose is so stiff if its not attached to the holder the water will flow out of the sink and onto the countertop so you cant let water fill anything up unless it is directly under where it stands in the holder. the temporary 150 faucet i had waiting for this to come off back order functioned 10x better.

Stunning faucet! Ordered this faucet in black stainless and it is a show stopper and conversation piece! Matches black stainless appliances well. It is also very durable and well-made with no noticeable scratching despite heavy use. I love the flexible aspect of the faucet for the purposes of hand washing dishes. Wayfair is the best with fast shipping and top-notch customer service.. Highly recommend!

Stunning

This is a beautiful faucet. It's taller than average and heavy. I ordered the blue hose but returned it because it was not as dark blue as it looks in the pictures. Also, the blue would have been too distracting in my new kitchen. If you want a striking faucet that is the center of attention, this is the one. If not, stick to the black hose instead of one of the colored hoses or choose a smaller faucet.

We love our new Grohe kitchen faucet!

The Grohe Essence kitchen fixture is a great addition to our new kitchen. The flow rate and flexibility of the pull-out sprayer work well with our single bowl sink. The matte black finish provides contrast with the other kitchen finishes.

AWESOME FAUCET

First and foremost, the material of this faucet is top-notch. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it not only looks sleek and modern but also provides exceptional durability. I've used it extensively for several months now, and it has shown no signs of scratching or denting. The stainless steel finish also resists stains and fingerprints, making it easy to keep clean and maintain its attractive appearance.

Nice Faucets but ZERO support from Grohe

Nice looking faucet with interchangeable hoses but not well constructed. One of the two faucets started to leak, and the spray handle was not functioning properly. What should have been a simple exchange teaches you the Grohe does not stand behind their product

Disappointed with features

The switch to change flows (spray or regular flow) is awkward and hard to reach behind the head of the faucet. The black rubber does not seem hardy and the spray handle is not flexible to reach the corners of a deep sink. I prefer the retractable spray handle.

Beautiful, but it has issues that affect usability

The faucet is beautiful, fairly easy to install. Within a few months, the handle started leaking. Unfortunately we had houseguests who had just arrived so we spent their first day visiting us fixing the faucet so we could cook for them. We watched youtube videos and with their help, managed to fix it. Now the end of the faucet is completely popping off. Almost every time we use it. It's literally just popping off when the water is running. Then my husband mentioned the handle is starting to leak AGAIN. Others have noted that the reach isn't very flexible but we've been able to adjust. Giving it 2 stars because it IS beautiful. Had it less than a year..

Leak at the stem

We purchased this faucet 3 years ago and after 6 months it separated at the stem and started leaking below counter. We tighten it. Happened again just 3 months later. We tightened it and then it happened again. Called Grohe to replace. They did it without any issues but the new faucet started separating at the stem again!! We love the faucet and simply don’t understand why is this happening. Anyone experiencing same issue??

Cool faucet with some minor limitations

6 stars for build.com customer service 3 for the Grohe fixture, so evens out to 4 overall.
