Kohler Kitchen Faucet is Garbage

I’ve seen the “how to” Kohler video a hundred times. The kitchen faucet in our new condo never worked. The bonnet fell off and we ordered new parts - not once, but twice. We finally left the handle upside down with a broken bonnet until the Kohler sink started to sink last week. Then we decided it was time to get rid of the broken unfixable faucet. We always liked Kohler products but not anymore. The under mount sink was falling down due to poor installation - or so we think. The clamps holding the sink were failing and the grout was not holding. But the faucet is a whole different story. So we called our always reliable Jack of all tradesman and his wife to help us and they were fixing it in no time. They couldn’t even fix the faucet after watching the video several times and they installed a brand new bathroom in our old Capitol Hill condo. They can do just about anything. The faucet mechanism is just designed very poorly. I hated to give up the lovely look of the faucet for a smaller, less impressive Delta brand. But sometimes functionality wins out over looks. The new Delta faucet turns on and off by touching any part of the faucet without having to use the handle. It’s perfect for covid days, but also practical. The only problem is that it attracts finger prints so you need to use your wrist or other body part to turn it on and off. It has three different sprays and serves the purpose overall. And as long as it works like it’s supposed to it has great appeal. At least now we don’t have to worry about the bonnet and handle falling off - or so we think. Tonight we will be using the dishwasher and will be keeping our fingers crossed that it works since all the plumbing was rewired when the faucet was put in. We aren’t in the mood for another surprise. At least we know how to turn the water off.
