Delta Essa Touch2O Arctic Stainless Pull-down Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer and Soap Dispenser

Waiting for installation

The faucet will not be installed by the Lowes contractor for another couple of weeks, so I don't know how well it works.

Mixed bag

I ordered the Essa touch2O from Lowes a month or two ago and It has been a mixed bag. In many ways it is great. Lowes shipping was fine. The installation was straightforward (just like the video). I like the touch feature and it is reliable so far (I splurged on the AC adapter - overpriced wall wart, but I have it now). The temperature light is effective (the color change lags a bit going from cold to hot, but it is a nice visual cue). The pull down feature is smooth and the weighted ass...

Overall a good faucet, touch technology is nice

Love the faucet overall. The touch technology is very convenient, especially when you do a lot of cooking. The battery life of the touch sensor is also pretty good. I change the batteries every 18 months or so. The selector button on the front has definitely gotten more difficult to press, but still able to easily select between spray and center with just my thumb. My biggest complaint - it started rusting after about 2 years. The connection between the retractable head and the downspout start...

More finicky than useful

I’m not surprised Lowe’s is no longer carrying this and unless Delta has majorly redesigned, they should have discontinued but putting this out here in case anyone is still looking at these. I put this faucet in my kitchen when I remodeled in late 2018, and at first I generally appreciated the touch feature, especially when cooking with meet and/or having really dirty hands while cooking. However, as others have also noted, the touch feature is finicky if you use the actual handle to adjust wat...

3 issues in less than 6 months

Installed this faucet in our kitchen sink in February. During install plumber noticed issue with the solenoid, it was making a squeaking sound. Contacted Delta and they sent out a new part and the plumber changed it out. In March the plastic base of the faucet suddenly just broke into pieces. Contacted delta again and they sent a new part. Faucet again fixed and now in July the base is cracked again. Delta will not replace with a different faucet or provide credit but will send me another part. ...

Matte Black Faucet that just looks fantastic

The faucet was great. The matte black really looked awesome next to our white quartzite countertops and white backsplash. It stands out in the best way. The touch function took a little getting used to but we love it.

Lowe’s Delivery after purchase SUCKS!!!!

After purchase, item delivery was delayed 7 times before final delivery. While waiting for Lowe’s delivery, I purchased same item for $100 less from different vendor, had it delivered, installed, and used for 9 days before Lowe’s item arrived. I attempted to cancel Lowe’s item delivery to prevent wasted trip, but customer service was unable to cancel.

Good but not great

I was excited about this faucet but it really has been frustrating. It looks good, I love the temp color LED, and it look good, Unfortunately, the spray head only stays straight in the swingarm - means you can't point the head somewhere and have it stay there. The spray selection, stream or spray, doesn't reset to stream when off -- I can't tell you how many times I've sprayed all over by accident. But the kicker is, the ToucH20 turns itself off and on by itself when using -- it doesn't take...

Lasted 16 Months!

Installed the first week of May 2024, this is my 3rd Delta faucet in my kitchen....This one is the biggest disappointment. I pulled down the nozzle and all this rust came down all in my sink. 16 months! $375.00! I will be calling Delta tomorrow! So frustrated! Do not buy!

This faucet ruining our wood floors!!

The cartridge in the faucet broke and started leaking. The plumber came and said the cartridge was a different design than the standard one that they keep on their truck. We had to wait multiple day to order the new cartridge in. A few months later, it starts leaking again but this time during the night. It leaked so much that it ruined our hard wood floors in our kitchen. Delta agreed to send us a new faucet with the original design cartridge which helps but we will need to replace our wood f...
