I purchased the F-026-3NSS model in Stainless Steel in 2009 (6 years ago) when doing a complete kitchen remodel. It is now 2015 (6 years later) and it still looks brand new. I cook often, so this faucet has been used a lot. We did have an issue with the side spray in May 2015, but I called Pfister, sent them a photo of my faucet (see photos attached) and received the needed part in the mail less than a week later. My husband was able to install the part himself and now problem solved. I really love my faucet. I could've gone with a black finish, which would have gone better with the cabinet pulls, but read somewhere that stainless steel holds up better. I totally agree and so glad I spent a little extra to get the stainless steel finish. I'm also very happy that I chose Pfister because they truly stand behind their products and their customer service is amazing.
