I bought my house 2 years ago. This is a replacement for a 12-year-old faucet I had in our kitchen. This faucet has all the features that I need. I can use the pull out portion in stream or spray as well as when it is nestled in the base. It does have the feature of holding the last setting (spay or stream) even after the water has been turned off. I chose the Delta over other brands because of the length of the pull out hose (52 inches).
