Delta Essa Brushed Nickel Touch Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer, Modern Single Hole Touch On Kitchen Sink Faucet, Single Handle, Arctic Stainless 9113T-AR-DST

I bought this model because it was the most affordable Touch2O model I could find at the time, despite being quite stylish. The most difficult part of this upgrade was removing my old faucet. The install instructions were clear, everything worked exactly as intended right out of the box and seems to be of good quality. My sink has 3 holes, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this model included a matching cover plate. I was initially worried that the touch feature might be unintuitive or gimmicky, but it's quite the opposite. Turning on/off a faucet is something most of us do many many times a day and this genuinely improves the task. The faucet and handle also remain cleaner since you rarely need to touch them with your hands. As for my fears of accidently turning it on or off, they seem to be mostly without merit. The touch/hold feature solves most of the potential issues and in the unlikely event you do accidentally switch it on/off it can easily be tapped again. I could imagine a curious cat activating it with their nose though (It auto-shuts off after a few minutes). My only cons are that the downward facing veggie sprayer in a rigid tube is definitely inferior to my old, stand alone sprayer in terms of ease of use and mobility, and that the mix handle is quite short which makes precise adjustments to pressure and temperature more difficult compared to the large controls on my old faucet - however these complaints are true for really any faucet of this style. The latter issue is mostly alleviated by the touch sensor, as I rarely need to adjust the knob anyway. Update: I've had this faucet for about a year and a half. The low battery light finally came on for the first time. Your mileage will vary by use - but this was impressive to me. All the old batteries measured 1.17-1.19 V when removed and tested. Some more notes after living with this for a long time. Rarely, when I would attempt to turn it on, the light would turn on but the faucet wouldn't run. I have very hard water, so maybe it has something to do with that, or maybe because the batteries were reaching the end of their life. Simply turning it off and on again always worked. Hopefully the fresh batteries resolve it. Not gonna knock off a star for that yet. The biggest con I can think of is that there isn't really an effective way I can think of to trickle this faucet if you are worried about pipes freezing. It hasn't been a problem for me so far, but this is something to consider for some people in very cold climates. The final note is that you get really used to this thing. When I go to other people's houses I tend to tap on their faucets in a moment of confusion as nothing happens.

Bought this from Amazon and it was sold as "new". When it arrived, the product had fingerprints on the faucet itself and some of the packaging seemed to have been handled. I'm unclear whether local Amazon distribution centers are responsible for this practice of selling previously-returned items as "new" or if it is a company-wide practice. Obviously, its a huge issue for Amazon given the broad variety of things they sell, but there should be a separate category other than "new" for things that may have been returned or otherwise handled between factory and consumer. Despite the indications of a possibly returned product, I went ahead and installed this. I guess I was feeling optimistic. The install went smooth enough and no parts were missing. The touch function of this faucet means that "downstream" from the faucet valve (the handle attached to the spout) there is a battery-powered solenoid that senses your touch on the faucet (works best on the metal neck or handle). That solenoid has a sensor lead that you attach to the threaded part of the faucet below the counter surface - this clips on easily, no problem. The solenoid also has a power lead that goes to a battery pack that holds six (6) AA batteries. This battery case is about the size of a banana but doesn't really have any obvious way to mount underneath the sink or even any holes to help you hang it up out of the way. If the power leads to this pack are touched, it will actuate the sink. This is a bit of a flaw, but not really a big deal if you mount the pack out of the way. Still, don't bury it because the batteries will need changing a few times per year. My solution was just to make a little paracord cradle to hang this on some of the sink undermount brackets -- basically any solution that lets you hang this out of the way in a place you can access for battery changes should be ok. The problem we had with our Delta faucet sold by Amazon as "new" was that it had a bad solenoid. It didn't function smoothly, it was loud, it had reduced flow, then it stopped working. Rather than returning this to Amazon and having this happen again, possibly, to another customer, I called Delta the next business day. At Delta, I talked to a US-based Delta employee who was able to understand the diagnosis steps I had taken already and confirm the solenoid issue. They mailed me a new solenoid which arrived within a week. Installed the new solenoid and all functions perfectly now. The touch feature is a really nice upgrade that keeps the area around the faucet handle about 90% cleaner because it doesn't constantly get dripped on with wet hands. Awesome product, awesome company (Delta). Thanks!

2 days in and it is working as expected. This faucet is beautiful. The touch feature is great, water temperature indicator looks cool. Though expensive I believe it is a good value. Installation was a breeze…did it myself

For the money, it's a great faucet. It's a subtle, aesthetically pleasing faucet with a modern design and features that looks great with most undermount sinks. It includes additional hardware to cover up 3 holes but I'd strongly recommend only using it with single holes as it looks much nicer that way. My sink is 16" deep and this faucet is the perfect size for it. The pull out sprayer is also very nice and far better than the separate ones, and the light indicating water temperature is also pretty handy. The touch functionality is polarizing, as a programmer, I think it could be programmed a bit more intelligently but it works, I personally find it a bit annoying but my SO really likes and it's useful sometimes so here we are. I would recommend buying the optional AC adapter instead of running it on battery power, as when the batteries run out the faucet completely stops working. The solenoid assembly feels very cheaply made, so we'll see how long it lasts. Also, the supply lines are 3/8" OD PEX pipe which is very stiff instead of flexible braided steel hoses like you'd see on higher end faucets. I would strongly recommend you cut the supply lines to length since they are very long instead of trying to bend them into shape to fit, the result will be much cleaner and better for your pipes. My installation required 90 degree elbows on each supply line to avoid excess tension on the pipes coming out of the wall but in the end it worked out quite well.

Llegó muy bien. Bien empacada en su caja original. Sugiero enviar en caja de Amazon para asegurar protección. Pero llegó bien. Se ve mejor cromado que Artic y tiene mejor precio.

Love, love this faucet.

The reviews on this product are not from the uk. Bought it and plumber eventually got it working however it will only give you warm water. Needs a different connection. It’s now in the bin. Waste of time.

Facile et agréable à l’utilisation. Le système Touch est génial pour économiser de l’eau. Un essentiel dans la zone de lavage de la cuisine, permet d’être efficace lors du rinçage de la vaisselle. Le mécanisme est précis et l’étanchéité est excellente. Ce n’est pas mon premier robinet Delta et le service après vente est excellent.

海外製の製品のため、継手が無いと接続できませんでしたが、問い合わせをしたところ、迅速なご対応をしていただき、無事に取り付けできました。商品も高級感があり非常に良いものです。
