Tools and Hardware Reviews of KOHLER K-690-BN Vinnata Kitchen Sink Faucet, Vibrant Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Not good enough for the premium price
Summary: 1 Stars
From various sources I gathered that Kohler produces high quality products. I bought the Vinnata believing that for the premium I am paying I will get an outstanding faucet with impeccable workmanship. Unfortunately the Vinnata turned out to be a disappointment. Within weeks of installation the half dome-shaped cap that sits between the handle and the body of the faucet came loose. It didn't leak, but it annoying moved loosely every time I turned on the water or adjusted the temperature. At first I thought it was faulty installation, but after the plumber returned to inspect it he declared that "it's just the way it was designed." Apparently all he had to do to remedy this was to force the cap to snap into place. He then advised me to avoid touching/moving the cap to minimize recurrence. I've followed his advise, but I have no doubt that at some future time the cap will snap off just as easily as it snapped back on.
For such a "high-end" product with an ultra price premium, one would reasonably expect PERFECT workmanship. That the Vinnata failed to meet basic quality standards renders this faucet sub-par and over-priced (I would have given it three stars if it weren't priced so richly). I most definitely would not pay up for Kohler ever again.
