I have had this faucet for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I will admit that I was hesitant when my wife said she wanted this fixture due to the price but boy was I wrong, it is worth every penny. I do have one complaint about this faucet, now that I have it I get frustrated when I visit other peoples house and can not touch the water on!!! It has ruined me!!!! If you are thinking about buying one, stop thinking and just buy it! You will be glad you did!!!! Also we live in a house with two small children and the spray shield is great for removing unwanted stains from their clothes whether it be food, spit up, or the stinky stuff from the other end it is great for blasting it away before throwing it in the washing machine!
