El producto perfectamente con lo que anuncia. Excelente calidad y acabado

First, this Kohler faucet looks and feels superb. I love the matte black. The weighty feel and high-quality lever and buttons tell you in an instant that this is a serious, high quality product. I checked out many brands and am coming up from a six-year-old Home Depot Vigo faucet. The water flow is great. The boost helps a bit, but I'm most pleased that the flow is powerful and the sprayer is STRONG. Some complain it splashes. Fine, it may - but the powerful jets are worth it. It sprays in a fan pattern which I like. The spray cleans off food and residue with aplomb. I was very worried about pressure and this unit doesn't disappoint. There is an option for higher-flow (Kohler 1167290 Replacement Part) that I have ordered) which allows up to 2.2GPM over the standard 1.8GPM. I'm not complaining about the flow but I can never have enough...and this is one of the only ones I found with this available less-restrictive aerator (which only costs a few dollars). The button from standard flow to sprayer locks, unlike most which revert to standard flow when water is turned off. Fine by me. The pull-down sprayer head is the best: It's not an especially LONG pull-out - but I don't care. It sits securely and snugly with a magnet to really hold it in place. I like this because it doesn't LOOK like a pull-down; it looks solid. If you need a really long pull-out sprayer maybe this isn't the one - but it's perfect for me in a standard double sink. The unit swivels smoothly yet stays in place. I can't stress enough how well constructed it feels - and the (limited) lifetime warranty makes me very comfortable. I called and spoke with Kohler with many questions - and this unit met all my needs. The CS person was very helpful and really gave me confidence in the purchase. On thing I didn't know was the escutcheon (base plate) is primarily for aesthetics. I installed mine which looks great, but Kohler said it really doesn't help stability. I beg to differ, as the plate adds extra height and width. No matter, it feels and looks right on my otherwise basic aluminum sink. I would buy again and have no issues except one - which goes with most new faucets I've looked at: There is no visible indicator on the faucet handle of hot or cold (such as a red or blue dot). Would it be that hard for Kohler and others to make this standard? Since you can mount the handle in different directions it would help. Further, for those of us who have different faucets in different kitchens and houses with different people using them, it would be one less thing to think about when needing hot or cold. It's a minor quibble but not unlike indicating which side of your car the gas tank is on. Since the unit is black it may be tougher for me to "add something" like I did on my last chrome faucet (I used a permanent marker to place red and blue dots identifying temperature direction). Finally, the handle itself only moves left/right about 40 degrees - not 90 like some other units. I don't care - the handle feels great the the temp variation is well controlled. Buy with no fear or regret. If I run into any issues I'll post it here as an update!

We're very pleased with the quality and construction of this item and it was relatively easy to install. My only complaint is that the hose from the nozzle to sink is a bit short for my deep sink.

I love this kitchen faucet. Just purchased for the 3rd time so I can install in my new house. It has clean lines and the pull down sprayer works great. Installed myself at last 2 houses and plan to do the same with this one.

Edit: The spray head has become unreliable. In either position, after turning the water off and on again, the spray head dribbles in-between the two settings. Sometimes the shutoff button does not release fully. I tried to order a new spray head, not cheap, and found that there was a replacement and that this model (K-596-BL) has been discontinued. I ordered the new part, which was backordered. Eventually I received one with an entirely different part number. It did not seat properly and leaked out the back. I called for a return authorization. Customer service said they had no record of that part being sent. A week later I received a call telling me that it was the correct part, even though it does not work, which is why I called in the first place. After several weeks I have still not gotten the return authorization I requested. If I have to replace the faucet there is no way I will buy another Kohler. *** This faucet replaces a Moen faucet with a more standard, flatter design and a traditional wand sprayer. We do not have a dishwasher, so a good sink and faucet is crucial. When the Moen started leaking for the second time, I decided to try something different. The Kohler Simplice is very attractive, much more than the standard designs and more elegant looking than the similar Moen. It is somewhat more expensive than the Moen as well. As for functionality, this design makes our kitchen faucet a much better tool than it had been. The water flow is significantly better than the old Moen. The high arc allows for easier handling of large pot and pans - there's lots of room underneath the faucet now. I may be imagining it, but I think the cold water feels colder. Dialing-in medium temperatures is very precise. The pull-down sprayer is like a miniature garden hose. It is very maneuverable and light in the hand. You can get in close to stuff in your sink no matter where the stuff is. There is a switch to temporarily shut off the spray while you are holding it. Some reviews suggested that you should position the handle in front instead of to the right side as pictured. I don't understand why you'd want to do this. On the right side, the small, easily adjustable handle can be operated - on, adjust and off - by a pinky while holding a glass in the same hand. This could be of great benefit to anyone who is motion- or grip- challenged. Placing the handle in front would make it cumbersome, and the handle might extend over the sink. In short, install as illustrated. You'll love it.
