We replaced a 17 year old Delta Single Handle Kitchen Faucet because it had been repaired several times over the years and thought it best to replace it this time.

Our new Delta 400-DST model is not sturdy at all. Any movement of the handle seems to cause the unit to rock. This faucet was installed by the same plumbers who had plumbed our entire house in 1998; we're sure it's installed correctly. Judging the quality between the old & new we will not be getting 17 years out of this unit. The quality has definitely declined over the years. We're now sorry we didn't have the old faucet repaired a third time.
