This faucet is beautiful and just the right size. We did not want a huge faucet that overtakes the kitchen. The extending head works very smoothly and goes perfectly far enough to reach over the whole sink and to the counter to fill pots. Also, even with our hard water the black doesn't end up with powdery spots, that is huge! The only thing that would make it better is if it didn't have so much pressure. You just have to get used to finding the right balance of water pressure so you don't spray water everywhere.
