Customer Reviews for KOHLER Forte Single-Handle Standard Kitchen Faucet with Side Sprayer in Polished Chrome

There are very few faucets with a separate side-sprayer that are suitable for use with undermounted sinks ( without a deck or bottom mounting plate) . Because I still have a good working portable dishwasher, I was looking for a handsome faucet that would look good on my new granite countertops, and still allow me to use my portable dishwasher. This Kohler faucet fit the bill both ways, although the aerator adapter for the dishwasher required a male/male connecting piece to make a leak-free snap connection. I am a bit leery of all the reports of leaking faucet, but so far mine is performing flawlessly. Fingers crossed! If the dishwasher adapter fit directly, I would give it 5 stars at this point.

My mother-in-law has had this faucet in her kitchen about 9 years. It started leaking from the body about a month ago. Called Kohler and they sent a new valve and a seal kit. Video looked easy enough but it was a challenge removing the body. I finally got the body off but ended up breaking the cold hose. Once I got all the hard water buildup removed the body went back together with ease. Replacing with the same unit tomorrow because my mother-in-law still likes the look and has had good luck with it. She does not want to wait to figure out if we can replace the hose.

This faucet certainly met all our requirements with style, height, and footprint. We were looking for a faucet that had both the valve and faucet head combined so we could use the extra hole for a filtered water faucet. This was one of the few models like this without having to buy the pull-out or pull-down feature. Installation (a month ago) was straight forward except I was surprised to see the hoses permanently fixed to the unit. Wont be easy to replace these hoses if ever needed. Faucet works great and I would recommend it.

Faucet leaks at base

KOHLER Forte Single-Handle Standard Kitchen Faucet

Faucet is high quality and excellent but the sprayer did not work the first time. Had to return to Kohler for replacement and it came with wrong connection. Second replacement workef well and no chsrge from Kohler but 3 weeks to get job done and plumber was not happy to return so many times.

Very happy with this faucet.

Had a leak on my 15 year old version and couldn't get it off without scratching it and some damage. Kohler helped me remove it and replaced it free since it was not able to be replaced with out damage.

The faucet is appealing to the eye and works great.

Looks very nice on my sink.

The faucet fit under low cabinets. Looks nice and functional.

I bought this faucet for my kitchen and have so far been very pleased with its use and also the side sprayer.

Had defective part which cost me in additional labor. Home Depot did help to defray the replacement part costs.

Spent an hour or so for the installation; not too bad. Unfortunately, 1 drip every 30 seconds when turned off. Not what I hoped for after finishing the job. Now I have to decide whether to seek repair/replacement of unit or return and replace with another brand. My previous Kohler faucet leaked under my sink. But I really like the look of this faucet.

The spray handle has a little drip come out when replaced in it’s holder. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

Functions fine; no issues.

This faucet was challenging to install. Once we finally fastened without leaking, we were not happy with the water pressure from the side sprayer. Returned and purchased a Moen which was much easier to install because they have an interlocking o'ring assembly. Would definitely order from Home Depot again, we received the order before estimated delivery and returning the product was easy. We ordered the replacement faucet online and it was ready an hour later at the store.

It's great. It's a kitchen faucet. It does what faucets are supposed to do. And it doesn't leak. What's not to like.

The faucet was exactly what I wanted and needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed my forte 10 years ago when we re-modeled our kitchen. It still looks a good as new. I ordered parts for it today, Repair parts are easy to install my self. I was very happy to find out my forte sink faucet has a life time parts warranty and Kohler will ship it free to my house! Wow!!

Arrived on time and installed by plumber no problem “great job”

Elegant appearance, smooth operation, not tricky to install, exceeds expectation in all aspects.

Though the HD web site product detail shows a deckplate (to cover the three holes) included, none arrived with this unit. Thankfully, our plumber improvised with one he had in his truck. Please note that for 3-hole sinks this in NOT the right model, though the on-line info says a deckplate is part of it that is not the case.

Faucet is dripping already and it’s new. How is that even possible ??? Style is nice but come on why would you buy a new 275 dollar unit and it drips .

We are happy with the faucet. The craftsman was able to install it without problem, and it has worked well in service.
