It looks nice.
Love it. Was easy to set up, but most likely you will need and extension for both or one of the water hoses. I ended up needing one. Yes it doesn’t completely stop due to the facet’s neck. Doesn’t bother me. I will now be able to wash my big pots with ease. UPDATE one month later on use of faucet- Mine stops now after I turn off the water. It might be the filter inside the cap that holds up the water after being shut off. After a couple of weeks it completely stops. I use a stander adapter and I'm able to connect my dishwasher and Python syphon for my aquarium to the faucet. I place a pic so you can see that the Handel sits at an angle and the Handel stops straight up and doesn’t go back any further.
Looks nice, installed easily and worked well for about 3 weeks then developed a fault that my plumber says is in the design of this faucet. Problem is that the sprayer drips slowly, all the time, long after being used, or any water is run through, so it pools slowly all over my countertop and drips down the back wall by the time I get home from a day at work! Additionally when the faucet is unused for some time, this slow drip seems to empty the pipes partially, so that there is a loud initial thump or pulse when the faucet is next turned on. What to do? I have paid a plumber to come out twice now and would love a complete replacement (unless it is a design fault), including plumber reinstall! Pictures below show water drip buildup after 20 minutes with no water having been used (i.e. faucet off the whole time).
I ordered one of these RP70538 cartridges. The cartridge is made of plastic has an upper and lower part that should be snapped together at the factory. On mine, one snap was not latched. I tried to make it latch by pushing the two sections together by hand, but they would it would not latch. I tried to install it in the valve body just to see if the compression of the seating ring would hold it together, but the defect prevented the cartridge from seating properly. I returned the cartridge to peerlessoutlet.com and got another. That one had exactly the same defect. So, both were worthless, and absorbed hours of my time trying to make them work. Although the valves have the RP70538 code on them, there is no evidence they are made by Peerless. These are made in China. peerlessoutlet.com apparently has a batch of bad valve cartridges from China. I strongly recommend not purchasing this product until peerlessoutlet.com removes the defective valves from their inventory..
Reasonably priced; good feel to it; good style!
Looks great and performs well. The set screw for the bath faucet goes right into the pipe, instead of tightening a collar. This isn't ideal, but not a deal breaker. The faucet is also very thin material, so it feels kind of flimsy. Note: There's a scald prevention control adjustments needed in the handle to ensure you get hot water. Without adjusting, the valve barely let any hot water through, making the water lukewarm at best. Make sure to test and adjust as needed.
Disclaimer: I have not installed this faucet yet - but I have to say that I was expecting a straight, elongated, oval shaped base but this base has "dimples" that I think will make cleaning difficult. Kitchen faucets are subject to all sorts of debris and splashing and GERMS, and to me it is very important to have a faucet that is easy to clean (and sanitize)!! I was not aware that the base had little indents in it. Overall, the brushed stainless is nice. The spout and handles are nice. The curvature/dimples on the base.... ummm... I am on the fence there. Will report back in a few months with an update on whether or not these dimples are food/debris catchers or not!!
I got it as an open box at a great price. Very nice.
Fantastic product, valves feel like velvet. The finish is perfect and this faucet works great. I did have a hassle mounting it, but that is not Peerless's fault. Well maybe, if they would have given me a couple big nuts with the same threads as the chrome flanges, I could have mounted this easier. Using a big nut on the 1/2" NPT nipple that screws into the faucet does not work on a thin stainless backsplash like I had (see pics). Instead, I flipped those chrome flanges around and used them to tighten the faucet to the backsplash. I had to drill four little hoses into the chrome flanges so I could tighten them with snap-ring pliers with right-angle bits. Mounting the doglegs flush to the backsplash pushes the water fittings further back, but it does look cleaner from the front. Sad thing is I had an old faucet that might have had the same threads on its cruddy flanges, so I may have been able to use those as nuts to tighten the unit to the sink. Its rock-solid now and I love the way this thing works. I thought I must have paid 177 bucks for it, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it was closer to 60 bucks. The pivoting faucet feels a little loose and sloppy, but it does not leak. I note that it is held on with a threaded collar so maybe I can shim it with an O-ring to make it feel tighter. I can't get over how effortless the handles work on this.
This faucet was easy to install, works great, and looks good. The only complaint I have about it is that the aerator part of the faucet absolutely CAN NOT hook up to a mobile dishwasher, which was actually what I ordered the faucet for. So we ended up running only hot water to this faucet for sink washing but had to install a different faucet in order to use our mobile dishwasher with just cold water running to it. It was a bit extra, but I do like this faucet, it is very sturdy.
Great faucet! Unfortunately, the supply lines are not included (as mentioned in the description).
These faucets have an awesome upscale feel. Highly recommend.
My wife love nice item
The Peerless Elmhurst faucet is a solid citizen of the faucet world--midrange price, midrange quality, nice looking. The metal alloys of this set are stronger than a set in the $40 range from the hardware store. Fittings are all decent quality with very minimal plastic, just plastic washers as you'd expect. My husband found it easy to install. He says a novice like me could do it, and I am NOT handy. For the price, there's no downside to this faucet set. We've used it for a few months now, and the handles still work smoothly, no leaks or adjustments to be made after the fact. To me, it's like the Toyota Camry of faucets--solid reliability without flash or pizazz--a good thing in bathroom faucet. I'm giving it four stars because it's definitely above average and a contender at its price point.
