I worked five years for a plumbing supply company and had hands on experience with many different brands of faucets. The Peerless for this review replaced a 7 year old perpetually leaking Wolverine Brass high end kitchen faucet. It had been apart many times to replace the cartridge that lasted about a year before leaking. The Delta product has plastic three foot pex supply lines, way too long. The closest Delta to the purchased Peerless lists on Amazon for about $ 160.00. I believe Peerless is owned by Delta. Go figure, because the supply lines are COPPER and only about 6 inches long meaning my existing supply lines from the house shut off valves could be used without all that stupid plastic flopping around under the sink interfering with the spray hose.And yes, the hose nozzle is black, but it is the only plastic piece, including hose, that is not metal. Even the escutcheon [base plate] is apparently stainless steel. And the pressure from the spout appears greater than the Wolverine Brass 'made in America' BS read China.Hey, $ 38.00, the online reviews other than Amazon are excellent as well as customer service. Look up reviews for the other popular names in faucets, not too good. So if you can live with 1980's styling but crave reliability this is it.
