KOHLER Simplice Pull Down Kitchen Faucet with 3-Spray Function - Polished Chrome Finish (Model K-596-CP) | Ideal for Modern Kitchens, Dishwashing & Food Prep

This is a wonderful product - beautiful, versatile, well-constructed. As I've slowly replaced the last owner's low- to mid-market fixtures with nice ones I've ended up almost always buying Kohler (the others being Delta) at least partly because I'm partial to east central Wisconsin, but mostly because I have yet to experience a Kohler product I didn't love.This faucet was super easy to install - it took maybe ten minutes once I'd removed the old faucet and swapped out the failing pipe shutoff valves.The two spray settings (essentially a focused stream and a dispersed spray) are both very good though I might prefer a slightly more diffuse stream. I don't find the pause feature very useful, but I guess it's a nice option.I am a fan of the high-arc design because it dramatically improves sink access for washing or filling large dishes, and of course the pull-down faucets are much higher quality than the old side-sprayers, which were a nuisance at best. Kohler of course isn't the only manufacturer of this popular style, but the Kohler is nice because it's pretty much all metal - a lot of the others are mostly plastic - and it's also about the narrowest and most compact neck and head that I could find. Many of the high-arc faucets with pull-down heads are big, bulky plasticky affairs but the Kohler is pretty narrow and very solid.The photograph of the product shows it with the mounting plate, which covers the two side holes on a three-hole sink, but I chose to mount it without the plate, using the leftmost hole in my sink, which in my case puts the faucet in the exact center of the two basins. I used one of the other holes to mount a (Kohler) soap dispenser, and I plugged the other two with (cheap plastic) hole fillers. I think it looks nicer this way than with the mounting plate; it's nice to have the versatility.
