This was a replacement faucet. It is sturdy and efficient - flow is great for hot. Cold flow is pretty fast but we've learned to tilt the glass when we fill it. Looks great with our existing kitchen faucet. The filters also don't cost an arm and a leg which is a bonus. Also know that you must push down the handle and tilt it back (for hot) or forward (for cool). Took the kids a little getting used to. Otherwise very pleased!
