This is my 3rd Vigo Model VG02001 in stainless steel. The first was for a Seattle co-op flip, the second for our new house and the third is just now for the same house. After three years, there was an annoying drip out the ball/handle portion of the faucet and my we couldn’t get the handle off to assess the cause. In the process of trying to fix it, my husband put scratches from a set of pliers on both the lever itself and the ball portion which led to rust in the scratches. With rusty scratches and a drip, I decided a new faucet was cheaper than a plumber. For the cost, these faucets are highly rated, look great, are big enough to be impressive without overpowering the kitchen, are quality and functional. That’s why this is my third. Wish me luck.
