I hemmed and hawed for weeks while I suffered with my old worn out sink faucet about whether I should go for this model. I wasn’t sure if I liked the idea of the hose in the air. I also wasn’t entirely clear how it worked. After reading some of the reviews I finally got off the dime and ordered. I chose open-box, so no turning back. I am not disappointed. The material is quite nice in look and feel. Black and stainless is kinda the theme in my kitchen so I think the hose design turns out to be pretty cool and, of course, unique!
