We bought this faucet in October of 2104. It is now late February of 2017, and we are having to replace the batteries for the first time! I love the Touch20 technology! My hands can be full of dough from baking bread, but I'm still able to easily get the water going. Additionally, there haven't been any leaky washers, and the magnetic docking for the hose is still holding strong! I'm so happy with my purchase.
