Great looks, swivel spout
You cannot go wrong with Delta valve mechanisms.
I have tried many different types of faucets through the years and always end up back at Delta. The valve just works without leaks. Believe me, I've had other brands that have leaks right out of the box!
For that, I say "Go Delta."
But there are some areas for improvement.
1) The drainpiece needs some metal and some gaskets. Although plastic is easy to install and it is hidden, the problem is plastic is LOUD. A sturdy brass tailpiece quiets the water when it flows down. Yes it does. Additionally, most manufacturers are also including gaskets to do away with the putty or silicone under the drain collar. Not so here.
2) The stopper mechanism is still clunky and awkward, with the bars and ball swivels that have existed for about the last 100 years. There are other ways now to connect the mechanism in today's world that are much more convenient and don't tend to hang up as easily.
Finally, I want to mention the swivel. It is very nice. Very few bath faucets allow a swivel for the spout. This one does.
BUT, be careful if you have small children! I fear that the swivel could be misused by a child and cause a flood. See my photo where I was able to swivel the spout away from the sink. It is a nice feature, but know your audience.

Delta is the best love the long neck keeps the water in the bowl not on the top
Delta is the best love the long neck keeps the water in the bowl not on the top. we have always had issues with the water splashing on the sink top. with the long neck we no longer have this happening . The spot shield finish is very easy to keep clean

nice
I really like the look of this faucet. The finish is a perfect match to the rest of the fixtures in my bathroom, and the flow rate of this thing is GREAT. The only thing I don't like about it, is that the drain had to be siliconed in. The faucet I replaced had a soft rubber washer that went between the drain and the sink so no mess to clean up when replacing. All in all a great faucet for the price.

It looks great
I installed it and it instantly made the bathroom sink look very modern. Sleek finish. The only negative was installing the plunger rod under the sink it comes loose very easily despite numerous adjustments.

Love the swivel spout
This faucet looks very nice and enhances the look of the sink. The reason I am giving 3 stars as it is advertised as spot resistant. But I find it is not really spot resistant.
Other than that it is a great faucet that works very well.

Hi Norm66,
We appreciate the feedback. I'm glad you're pleased with the look of the Delta faucet. The faucet does have the SpotShield feature. Here is some basic cleaning and care information:
Always blot dry any water from faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains and calcium build up may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse thoroughly with water afterward. Also take care to protect surfaces that may be damaged by vinegar. The white vinegar can stain porous stones like granite, limestone and marble. You can also use a cleaner called " bar keepers friend" which works very well with removing water spots.
If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: 409, Fantastic, or Windex, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use. Avoid using the following which can damage your finish:
Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub and Tile Cleaner, Lime Away and Soft Scrub. Please contact us back with any questions or concerns.

Quality product.
This was the third choice for us and worked out the best. The faucet is pretty heavy. what means it's not plastic. Let's see how it works in a long run, but it took first place being choice #3

looks cool
I installed this in my rental property bathroom to replace a faucet from the 80's. Looks so much more modern. The design on the base of the faucet adds a nice character. The directions were laid out well and seemed easy to follow but I barely needed to glance at them. The install was straight forward and the parts seemed to be of great quality. I am sure it will last me another 20 years.

A nice modern faucet
I like this faucet, very clean lines and works well. The installation went smoothly and I like the longer neck of this unit so you can actually get your hands under it and not hit the edges of the sink while you are washing your hands. The nickel finish looks very nice and gives a modern feel to the faucet. I would purchase this fixture again when I put in another vanity.

Great Style and High Quality
The Allentown bathroom faucet has added some nice bling to my bathroom. The design is very stylish as the faucet is taller and puts the water out to the center of the sink bowl rather than the back. The spotshield technology really does keep water spots off the faucet, making it much easier to keep clean that my old chrome faucet. I also noticed that this is a higher quality faucet than my old model because it has brass fittings rather than plastic. I am very pleased with this faucet.

Stylish and versatile
The style is interesting and a nice change of pace. I installed it on a high end bathroom vanity. The water volume is incredible. The spout swivels which makes it easier to clean the sink. The quality seems excellent and the brushed nickel finish is spotless. I couldn't find a defect anywhere. Installation was a matter of 10 minutes from start to finish. Installation times obviously will vary with respect to existing plumbing. Mine was a breeze. Opening and closing the drain is very precise and that is often a problem with drain plumbing. This was not the case this time, and I appreciate that very much. This faucet would be a beautiful upgrade to any laundry soak sink. I have yet to see a laundry sink faucet which looks nice and works nice. This faucet seems to address anything from high end unique class, to jazzing up that laundry room sink. A job well done. If there is anything I would like to see, it would be a water safer option for the spigot. I simply turn the water on low.

The curve of the faucet blends with my door handles!
I didn't even search for this faucet's design, because it was beyond my imagination. This is a winner for a match with my door handles.

Interesting, Yet Very Functional Design!
Quality-made, and easy installation. This faucet is being used on a small utility sink in our laundry room. The SpotShield feature, although great, wasn't a big wow-factor for me... loved the unique design of the long, square-angled neck.

Great Look
It is amazing how is easy it is to update bathrooms with new faucets and a little paint. This faucet is very attractive and would match any look you are trying to achieve. It is one of those faucets that is timeless. The long neck keeps the water in the bowl. The lever handles are easy to use and especially if your hands are dirty or have disabilities. The Spot Shield finish makes it is easier to keep clean. I look forward to years of carefree use.

Elegance added to my bath vanity!
This went onto a 48" vanity, and matched perfectly. Loved the "SpotShield" feature and how expensive it looked!
Installation was a breeze, and the water pressure was well above expectations. A reasonably price bath faucet with rich appearance and good performance.

Great accent to any bathroom vanity
Chose this faucet to go with a 36" vanity set that has brushed Nickel hardware and it was the absolutely perfect match. Not too big or too small for the vanity and has great water pressure. No finger prints left behind, which happens to be my favorite part of this product. Sleek design and looks beautiful. Super easy to install too. This is the one for any bathroom.

Precision made faucet with a premium feel
I installed the new Allentown model faucet in the bathroom. The old faucet came out clean and this new one installed with ease. The hardest part for me was to make sure I had the right amount of silicone to seal it up. This had nothing to do with the actual faucet, just a note that I wanted to make about the install. The sink stop was easy enough to install and marry up to the main faucet linkage. Overall, the feel of this faucet is top shelf! The fluidity and precision of the faucet handles makes for an enjoyable and secure feeling. Not only does it work great, but it looks fantastic. I would recommend this faucet to anyone in need of a bathroom upgrade.

Great faucet
This was a nice addition to my newly remodeled bathroom. The SpotShield technology works very well and makes keeping the sink looking good much easier. It looks great and I really like the texture design on the faucet itself.

Nice design
Interesting design, good price and good quality. You can't really beat that. I originally got this faucet for a sink that we're installing in our garage; however it's moved to my guest bath and I bought a second one. In particular, I like the spotshield feature and the length of the spigot. For a faucet, it's as easy to install as most (if you think working under a sink makes anything really easy); I have no complaints on the installation.
