I just bought and installed this faucet today. It looks nice, and functions well. Obviously, I can't comment on its durability. I'm hoping that the Duralast ceramic cartridge will be less fussy than the old 1225 was. I'm writing this review to comment about one part of the installation process. The faucet is mounted to the sink with two mounting brackets, spacing sleeves, and mounting nuts. This would be no problem with two hands, but my space under the sink is very tight, and I could only reach the mounting shank, etc. with one hand. I was able to do it one handed. but it wasn't easy. Otherwise, the installation was not problematic, once I removed the old faucet.
