Just installed this product. Nice quality faucet. I have arthritis and the handles are easy to operate for me. Had to get a manual push down drain stopper as the "pull up" in the back of the faucet was too close to the backsplash and wouldn't work. We had anticipated this problem and purchased the extra parts so the plumber had them when he came to install.

    We had the original installed 7 years ago. The mounting screw broke out from the cast threading, so I replaced it with the same faucet. Otherwise we like the style and operation of the faucet.

    The faucet was very easy to install. But the installation of the drain was a problem. As per installations I use silicone to the underside of the flange. It worked for a week when a small leak started. I tightened the nut/washer/gasket and the flange broke. Delta sent the replacement part in 3- 4 days. The second time I used plumber's putty to the flange and would recommend it to others. My wife loves the look and operation of the faucet.

    I am irritated every time I use this faucet.
    I bought four of these for the bathrooms in my new house. I hate them all. First of all, the spout sticks out too far and too high over the sink. It gets in the way when I wash my face. Secondly, the cartridge (I believe that's what it's called) is too tight on all four. To get the temperature I want, I move the handle, wait for the water temperature to stabilize, then I have to bump it to change the temperater a little bit, check the temp and bump it again, check the temp and bump it again, and so on. It is not possible to just move the handle. If I apply enough pressure to move it a tiny bit, it moves a lot. I waste a lot of water every day doing this. All four are like this to varying degrees. Unfortunately, the one I use the most is the worst, and has been from day one. In addition, one of the faucets had something set wrong at the factory (per the plumber), so after it was installed, the handle would go all the way to the right and only a tiny bit to the left which meant I couldn't get any hot water from it. The plumber came back at a later date, opened it up and did something that fixed that problem, so it's not an issue at this time. It looks great, but is a functional disaster.

      The faucet spout is made in two pieces with the seam between them so big my fingernail fit in. The color was darker than Iexpected and did not blend with my other polished brass fixtures. The water hoses were plastic not braided metal. All in all not the quality expected from Delta.

        Second time around
        We renovated a bathroom last year, and had the Lahara faucets put in for the shower and the sink, along with the new corner tub. These faucets are well made, have elegant yet simple lines, and are very easy to keep clean. So this year while renovating a bathroom on a rental, we decided to replace the old ones with these. Cost up front is higher, but we believe that they will last a long time in the new bathroom we put in.

        Single handle
        I returned this faucet because the spout was seamed and looked like plastic. The spout metal did not match with the rest of the faucet.

          Would buy something else next time
          Faucet looks nice and feels solid. Hate the movement (very limited) of the handle and the hot cold mix it produces. It's very hard to use and poorly designed. And we have three of these. Two in the master and one in the powder bathrooms. The handle to pull up the stopper is very hard to get to and poorly designed. If I had to buy these faucets again, it would not be this brand or model.

            Was disappointed, but happy now after good advice from Delta
            I posted a review of this faucet on June 22, 2016 stating I was disappointed with the water spotting. Delta customer service read the review and sent email to me suggesting cleaning with 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water--worked like a charm! Both faucets look fantastic!

            Great looks and great Delta quality.
            This is a really nice looking faucet. Simple single design combined with Delta quality. I have four of these in my house and am very satisfied. When I remodel my next bathroom I will again go with this faucet. The installation was also very easy due to the well thought out design.

            Very stylish!
            The faucets were easy to install and look great. The instructions were easy to read. However I'm surprised by the faucet sound when the water volume is anything but a trickle. Some other people commented on this issue too but my husband dismissed it by saying they probably have some air in their lines, but that's not the problem. Also, the faucets seem to spot easily. Instructions say to wipe with a damp cloth but it takes vigorous rubbing each time to make the spots go away. Although having made these two unfavorable comments, we love the look of the faucets and would recommend them.

            Great Looking Product
            Just the right color we have been looking for,but the water flow adjustment is tricky, very short play in the handle makes getting the right temp of the water. I complained about a noisy water flow and the rep sent me a replacement cartridge, not yet installed. We only have the faucet in use for about a month so will wait to see if the noise goes away after use.

              Not what they used to be
              I used these delta faucets in a new house build. They are not hard to install. However the spout is two piece and is pressed together. I had one that came apart. I had to return it to Home Depot. Now I have two more that are corroding after only six months. This house is on a well and has a water softner. I don't know why the faucets would start to corrode. I would skip these and look for something else.

              Hi ericSK,

              I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with the finish on your Delta faucet! Water softeners primarily remove calcium and magnesium. Other minerals remain in the water and can cause mineral buildup. However, with regular cleaning, minerals should not damage the finish and can be cleaned off with a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution. I have sent you an email to follow up regarding this issue.

              Best regards,
              Jon DeltaFaucet

              Nice faucet with defective pop-ups
              Beautiful and well built faucet, but the pop-up drain will not hold water. We had two of these installed and both will not hold a sink full of water. Disappointing.

              Be Careful - not for all sinks
              I don't recall reading anything about this faucet NOT FITTING a sink without an overflow, but that is true. My sinks are undermount without an overflow, so the bottom is thin - maybe 3/8 inch. Unfortunately, the drain only mounts to a sink with an overflow - or one with about 1 1/2 inch bottom thickness. Delta will sell you a non-overflow drain (part number 72172) but it costs about $70.

              Hello Cornpone,

              I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you had with this Delta lavatory faucet. All of our lavatory faucets that come with a pop-up, come with overflow on that pop up. I apologize for the confusion. We appreciate your feedback.

              Nice looking, but noisy
              I have a house full of 25 year-old trouble-free Delta faucets, so for a bathroom facelift, I picked another. It looks very good, works fine, and I expect it to continue to work fine. But it's noisy (lots of rushing water noise at part open). The lever is stiff, which is typical of Delta faucets.

              Delta Lahara Venetian Bronze
              This faucet is very much a solid quality product. Extremely easy installation although I was unable to use the pop up due to the configuration of my glass sink (I used a Delta push pop up instead).

                Great bathroom faucet
                We had 2 of these installed in our mater bath vanity 5 years ago. We liked them so much that we bought 2 more for a renovation of our guest bath.
