Delta 19824LF-BL Keele Kitchen Faucet, Standard, Matte Black

We installed this faucet about 18 months ago and we loved it for 17 of those months and would have given it a 5 star rating. Then it began erratically switching to spray patterns and making that awful rattling sound.I thought that maybe it needed to be cleaned out and found a video on how to take it apart. It wasn't easy but I was able to do it.The noise went away for a few days but has returned and we can't seem to keep the water flow from activating the hard spray head. We've determined this is a design flaw since we have found others complaining of the same problem.We are about to contact the customer service at Delta to see what can be done to fix the problem.Depending on how Delta responds, we will come back to this review and change it to either one star or 5 stars. It will be their choice but we can't live with this faucet any longer.UPDATE:We contacted Delta's customer service and they readily shipped out a new wand to us which we installed and it solved the problem. I have changed the star rating from a 3 to a 5.

The media could not be loaded. It's only been a couple of hours since these (2) Delta Keele faucets were installed in our 2 kitchen sinks & we're very happy. The installation was straight forward & easy but it helps to have a master plumber & heating contractor. in the house! The pressure is great and the finish matches brushless nickel we have for our disposal button and soap dispenser & all the handles and pulls in the kitchen, all nickel.I posted a video but mislabeled the model as "Keene" - the model is "Keele". And the finish is "Spotshield Stainless", not "Spotless Stainless"! Hey, I'm old!I had hoped to post a 2nd video but Amazon only allows one video per review, and they won't allow me to write another review, even though I bought 2 of these. lolSo far so good but time will tell. My concern is can the diverter on the spray handle hold up because that was a continual failure on the 2 ($800 each) Elkay faucets we replaced. Eklay honored their lifetime warranty each time the diverter broke & sent a replacement hand spray each time only to have each fail within one year due to a design flaw. After 4 years of replacements, Elkay could no longer replace it as they discontinued the faucet! So we put up with broken diverter buttons for another 2 years until today. Lesson learned: expensive doesn't guarantee quality! I hope these last but if they don't at least they are 1/3 the price!

Great faucet....Quality finish and very nice

Beautiful and easy to use. Love this faucet.

We chose this for the look. Super nice and smooth operation. The magnet is cool but a little strong and takes more effort than expected to pull down. But my main complaint is that the water stream (solid, not spray), is quite splashy, if that's a word. Whenever I'm washing my hands or anything in the sink, I'm surprised how much the water splashes outside the sink almost like there is no aerator. Or maybe there is debris stuck inside? Does anyone else have this issue?

Exactly as expected 👍

This is a really good faucet as expected from Delta. The only thing I don’t love about this faucet is that it does splash a good bit. Obviously splashing will be determined by water pressure, sink depth etc… but those things didn’t change when swapping out the faucet.However, the finish is fantastic! Whether I leave water droplets or wipe it down, there are no spots when it dries naturally.Before ordering it I was concerned that installing it by myself might be difficult but I found, as other reviewers did as well, that this is well designed for DIY. I was most concerned about being able to get the faucet snugged down to the countertop sufficiently without a second pair of hands. While I did have to go back-and-forth between under and over the sink to get it where I wanted it, it really was not difficult at all and I’ve had no problems with it coming loose in the three months it’s been installed. The only thing I have had to tighten up is the hose inside the hand sprayer that pulls out. But once I did, it’s not come loose again. This was probably just my not having snugged that connection down when I installed it. Another reviewer mentioned that the most difficult part of installation was removing the old faucet and I found this to be true as well.About me: I’m a petite woman in my late 40s without proper plumbing tools or knowledge. I try to do on my own DIY because I enjoy it and it saves me a ton of cash. If you are the same, you should have no problem getting this installed.My kitchen is styled in a farmhouse/modern fusion and this fits in perfectly.

Looks amazing. Sleek design, simple look. Love it!
