I bought the SAME faucet two years ago, but lost all the paperwork, so I wasn't able to send it back. It is my understanding that this product should hold up well if used properly. Well, we only used water to clean the faucet, and the silver chipped off anyway. It made the faucet look cheap and dirty, so my wife made me buy a new one. I registered this one, as if this faucet's silver paint (or whatever they use) chips off as easily as the previous one did, I'm sending it back!
