Tools and Hardware Reviews of Price Pfister 529-7DSS Treviso Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull-Down Spray and Soap Dispenser, Stainless SteelCustomer Review: Looks nice, works well, with caveats Summary: 4 Stars
This appeared as the Deal of the Day right after I noticed that my faucet was about to give out. I couldn't tell from the photo whether the finish was brushed, but I decided it wasn't a deal-breaker either way so I took the plunge.
The finish is not mirror-like. I'm not sure whether it is really brushed, but it seems like it is, lightly. I am quite pleased with the finish, and in general the elegant shape of the faucet.
Installation was not difficult. The one tip I can offer is that if you pull out the spray head as far as you can, it will make it easier to slip the washer and nut over the rest of the tubes.
The long U-shaped portion of the faucet turns freely in the base, so you can easily move the head from one sink to the other in a dual-sink arrangement.
The hose for the pull-out sprayer is not metallic, so I wonder whether it will eventually give out where it rubs as you pull it in and out. However, it turns out that we rarely feel the need to pull it out because the sprayer head has a very convenient 360-degree swivel joint that allows you to direct the flow of water wherever you want, and the head will stay in that position. That leaves both hands free to work with whatever it is you are trying to wash. Very nice! Between the freely turning U-shaped tube and the swivel joint, we can hit pretty much any spot in the dual sink without pulling out the sprayer head.
Another reviewer complained about the water flow being inadequate. It is just fine for me. Perhaps it's a question of water pressure?
The operation of the handle may not be immediately obvious -- you move it to the right to turn it on, and lift it up and away from you to get hot water. It works quite smoothly, but at first I found myself lifting the handle to turn it on.
So overall I'm really quite pleased, especially for the Deal-of-the-Day price, which was quite good. But my brother, who has worked as a handyman, wished that I had bought a Delta because he believes that their quality is generally much better. Time will tell. I had looked at Deltas and didn't see any that I liked as much as this one, but if in three years I'm replacing it again I will follow his advice in the future! He is, after all, my *older* brother...
