Bought this as a replacement for another Delta Faucet that was the original unit installed in the house when it was built.  The lifetime warranty on the old faucet was still in effect, but it was time for a new look and new features.  The Delta Ophelia fit the bill exactly.  It looks great and works well, and the Shield Spray feature is a neat addition.  From a practical standpoint, we would never use anything in the house except Delta.  The lifetime warranty seals any deal!
