Tools and Hardware Reviews of KOHLER K-12177-CP Fairfax Single Control Kitchen Sink Faucet, Polished Chrome
Customer Review: Core internal part made of brittle plastic failed, no warranty
Summary: 1 Stars
The core body of this faucet under the swiveling base is made of a hard, brittle, white-yellow plastic which is evidently not durable enough for its purpose. It shattered 8 years after installation one morning when the tap was being turned from one basin to the other - an ordinary operation that occurs multiple times a day. I called Kohler support who said the replacement parts would be $109. A new faucet sells for $170-$300 on the web. Kohler's warranty would not cover it because you have to be the original owner with a receipt, so they suggested it would be better value to go out and buy a new item, then I would have a warranty. The agent said if I had simply claimed to be the original owner they would have sent the replacement parts for free. Since I was honest, they could not. Do they really think we will pay upwards of $200 for another Kohler after this experience? Very disappointed with such low quality materials and short life on a prestigious brand name - it had seemed like a positive selling feature with the house, but turned out not to be.
