(More customer reviews)I really liked the looks and functionality of this faucet but the honeymoon was short. The swivel at the head of the pulldown started leaking after just a few months. I repaired it (it was due to a worn o-ring) but it started leaking again. I called Kohler and they sent me a new head and hose. The support was great (the faucet has a lifetime warranty), unfortunately the faucet started leaking again after the second repair.
My sister-in-law just remodeled her kitchen and installed the same faucet. We were visiting and I asked how she likes it. She said, "I love it but it is leaking". I took a look and her's is leaking in the same place as mine. I think the problem is due to improper plating of the ball swivel. It is partially chrome plated but because they did not plate the whole ball, the edge of the chrome (between where there is chrome and no chrome) catches on the o-ring and the unplated part is not smooth. These two combine to cause premature wear to the o-ring, causing it to leak. This is unacceptable in a faucet that costs over $500. Also, when the faucet leaks, the water backs up the neck and drips into your base cabinet, ruining the wood. I am forced to leave the head pulled down an inch, so the water drips into the sink rather than backing up into the cabinet. The head looks terrible hanging down that way. A lifetime warranty does no good if you have to repair the darn thing every 3 months. If they fixed this problem, I'd give the faucet a 5 but with it only lasting 3 mo. between repairs, it gets a 1.
