Tools and Hardware Reviews of Price Pfister 52650SS Contempra Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull-Down Spout Sprayer and Soap Dispenser, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Good value for the money.
Summary: 4 Stars
Faucet design is a matter of taste, but I think this one is among the nicest looking in the same category of faucets. I am not a big fan of the feature that requires you to turn the water off and then back on to switch off the spray feature, but that's not a deal breaker for me. In terms of other features and performance, I have no complaints. I did have one easily resolvable problem though.
After owning the faucet for a little over a year, I started to expereince dripping under the sink, below the handle section. I think this is similar to the problem reported by a previous reviewer here who seemed to needlessly buy a whole new faucet as a result. I called Price Pfister about the problem and was very impressed with their customer service. When I called the 1-800 customer service number, I got through to an agent quickly and explained the problem. The agent said there is an easily replaceable cartridge that fits inside the handle, and this cartridge was the culprit of the leak. So they sent me an improved, redesigned cartridge (part #: 974-035) and a new brass retainer nut (part # 941-7110) to replace the older parts which originally shipped with the faucet. Since the faucet is covered under their 10 year warranty, these replacement parts were sent to me free of charge -- I paid just $5 for shipping and got them within a few days. Replacing this cartridge and retainer ring in the handle was extremely easy, and the instructions for doing this are included with the original faucet or they can be found on the Price Pfister web site. Replacing these parts does not involve getting under your sink. You just pop off the faucet handle after loosening with an allen wrench and then unscrew a retainer ring. The cartridge pulls right out (and be sure to pull out the washer too if that doesn't come up with the old cartridge). Problem solved.
As far as I can tell, comparable faucets are at least $100 more than this one, and in some cases they are not nearly as attractive. Unless the thought bothers you of possibly being out $5, for an easily replaceable part, and 5 minutes of your time, in the event this handle leak is even common, then I would definitely recommend this faucet. NOTE: I purchased this faucet a couple years ago, so it's possible that the improved cartridge ships with newly purchased faucets anyway.
I've never had an issue with the handle as one reviewer reported, but if I did I would not hesitate to call Price Pfister for a replacement part. Any faucet has the potential to break, and so a good warranty which allows for free replacement parts, good customer service and a design that allows for easy replacement by the customer are all pluses in my book.
