Installation was very easy, although the instructions were not amazing. Good enough to know what to do, buy we were left making some assumptions (sooo, do we not use the O-ring for three hole installation?). To finish the installation, we did have to purchase two water hose extenders from local Lowes, but I'm assuming this was unique to our installation.
The hands free operation is awesome. It's quiet, fast, and predictable every time. This faucet turned our otherwise dated kitchen into something from this century.
