Essa Brushed Nickel Touch Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer, Modern Single Hole Touch On Kitchen Sink Faucet, Single Handle, Arctic Stainless 9113T-AR-DST

I bought this model because it was the most affordable Touch2O model I could find at the time, despite being quite stylish. The most difficult part of this upgrade was removing my old faucet. The install instructions were clear, everything worked exactly as intended right out of the box and seems to be of good quality. My sink has 3 holes, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this model included a matching cover plate. I was initially worried that the touch feature might be unintuitive or gimmicky, but it's quite the opposite. Turning on/off a faucet is something most of us do many many times a day and this genuinely improves the task. The faucet and handle also remain cleaner since you rarely need to touch them with your hands. As for my fears of accidently turning it on or off, they seem to be mostly without merit. The touch/hold feature solves most of the potential issues and in the unlikely event you do accidentally switch it on/off it can easily be tapped again. I could imagine a curious cat activating it with their nose though (It auto-shuts off after a few minutes). My only cons are that the downward facing veggie sprayer in a rigid tube is definitely inferior to my old, stand alone sprayer in terms of ease of use and mobility, and that the mix handle is quite short which makes precise adjustments to pressure and temperature more difficult compared to the large controls on my old faucet - however these complaints are true for really any faucet of this style. The latter issue is mostly alleviated by the touch sensor, as I rarely need to adjust the knob anyway. Update: I've had this faucet for about a year and a half. The low battery light finally came on for the first time. Your mileage will vary by use - but this was impressive to me. All the old batteries measured 1.17-1.19 V when removed and tested. Some more notes after living with this for a long time. Rarely, when I would attempt to turn it on, the light would turn on but the faucet wouldn't run. I have very hard water, so maybe it has something to do with that, or maybe because the batteries were reaching the end of their life. Simply turning it off and on again always worked. Hopefully the fresh batteries resolve it. Not gonna knock off a star for that yet. The biggest con I can think of is that there isn't really an effective way I can think of to trickle this faucet if you are worried about pipes freezing. It hasn't been a problem for me so far, but this is something to consider for some people in very cold climates. The final note is that you get really used to this thing. When I go to other people's houses I tend to tap on their faucets in a moment of confusion as nothing happens.

I purchased the Delta Essa Matte Black Touch Kitchen Faucet (9113T-BL-DST) about 3 months ago and I couldn’t be happier with it. The touch feature works flawlessly and makes everyday tasks so much easier, especially when your hands are dirty and you can use your elbow or wrist to turn it on. I especially appreciate the auto shut-off function, which gives me peace of mind if I ever forget to turn it off. The water pressure is great and seems in line with other similar advertised GPS from other faucets. Installation was relatively straightforward, and I’ve had no issues at all with performance. While it didn’t come with a soap dispenser, I was able to find a matching one on Amazon at a great price, and together they look fantastic. The sleek matte black finish adds a modern touch to my kitchen, and the pull-down sprayer is both powerful and convenient. Overall, this faucet has been a wonderful upgrade, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and functional kitchen faucet.

Bought this from Amazon and it was sold as "new". When it arrived, the product had fingerprints on the faucet itself and some of the packaging seemed to have been handled. I'm unclear whether local Amazon distribution centers are responsible for this practice of selling previously-returned items as "new" or if it is a company-wide practice. Obviously, its a huge issue for Amazon given the broad variety of things they sell, but there should be a separate category other than "new" for things that may have been returned or otherwise handled between factory and consumer. Despite the indications of a possibly returned product, I went ahead and installed this. I guess I was feeling optimistic. The install went smooth enough and no parts were missing. The touch function of this faucet means that "downstream" from the faucet valve (the handle attached to the spout) there is a battery-powered solenoid that senses your touch on the faucet (works best on the metal neck or handle). That solenoid has a sensor lead that you attach to the threaded part of the faucet below the counter surface - this clips on easily, no problem. The solenoid also has a power lead that goes to a battery pack that holds six (6) AA batteries. This battery case is about the size of a banana but doesn't really have any obvious way to mount underneath the sink or even any holes to help you hang it up out of the way. If the power leads to this pack are touched, it will actuate the sink. This is a bit of a flaw, but not really a big deal if you mount the pack out of the way. Still, don't bury it because the batteries will need changing a few times per year. My solution was just to make a little paracord cradle to hang this on some of the sink undermount brackets -- basically any solution that lets you hang this out of the way in a place you can access for battery changes should be ok. The problem we had with our Delta faucet sold by Amazon as "new" was that it had a bad solenoid. It didn't function smoothly, it was loud, it had reduced flow, then it stopped working. Rather than returning this to Amazon and having this happen again, possibly, to another customer, I called Delta the next business day. At Delta, I talked to a US-based Delta employee who was able to understand the diagnosis steps I had taken already and confirm the solenoid issue. They mailed me a new solenoid which arrived within a week. Installed the new solenoid and all functions perfectly now. The touch feature is a really nice upgrade that keeps the area around the faucet handle about 90% cleaner because it doesn't constantly get dripped on with wet hands. Awesome product, awesome company (Delta). Thanks!

I purchased this back in 2022 and I am generally happy with it. I had a faulty solenoid when I instlaled it and it was replaced by Delta after troubleshooting with their online support. touch is brilliant. The only con was that it started to get rusty where the extendable head meets the faucet - disappointed in that but cleaned it up with some rust away. Works consistelely. replace the batteries probably about every 6 months or so. Overall : very happy.

I purchased this nearly 5 years ago and it's been working perfectly. I replace the batteries once a year or a little more, on average - use larger batteries if you can as they will last very long. I've gotten so used to the touch operation that I'm always thrown for a loop whenever I visit another person's house and instinctively try to tap it. The one gripe I have (and you'll find this for anyone who has had this for a long time) is that the magnetic handle connection will, over time, rust out. This part is covered by Delta's warranty and you should be able to have them replace it for free. If not, they do sell the magnetic replacement piece as well. I will be replacing this part for the first time now, though it started showing signs of needing replacement about a year ago. Beyond this, no issues whatsoever. Installation was as straightforward as it could have been, and it's been a pleasure to use. --- 6 year update: The solenoid finally went out, starting with slow drips, then a drizzle, then no real difference in "on/off" mode. On attempting to clean the solenoid the plastic debris basket disintegrated. This seems to not be an uncommon side effect at this point in its lifetime. The kick in the pants is that the solenoid is somehow priced almost as much as a whole new faucet. This is a pretty shameful pricing for what is probably a $30 part. I've ordered it anyway, but the next time it goes out I'll probably look to replace the whole assembly (and not with another Delta if I find a competitor that has better replacement part pricing).

I had been researching faucets for a few months and finally settled on the Delta Essa due to style, reviews, and value. The purchase on Amazon was less expensive than the big-box home improvement stores and with next day delivery so I ordered at 8:00 PM and Amazon delivered at 1:00 PM the next day. I also give credit to Amazon Warehouse deals for offering a Used-Like New faucet in perfect condition, just opened box, that saved $30. I have installed several faucets before, but in no way consider myself an expert. I have basic homeowner repair/installation skills and watch an instructional video before every project. That being said, I found the installation of this faucet straightforward with only two tools needed. A Phillips screwdriver was needed to tighten two screws and an adjustable wrench was needed to tighten the water supply lines. The kit came with a plastic tool to tighten the nut under the sink and everything else just connected by hand. It even came with 6 AA batteries for the touch sensor. Installation took me approximately 45 minutes, but could have been completed quicker if the underside of the sink wasn’t so difficult to access with a disposal in the way. Instructions with diagrams were generally easy to follow. The operation of the faucet is smooth with good flow. This isn’t one of those faucets with a wimpy water flow and it can be easily changed from a straight stream to a shower pattern with one flick of the switch. At first, the touch sensor operation didn’t seem to recognize the touch except on the handle. After a few minutes of just playing with it, the touch operation works flawlessly and recognizes every touch. You just need to keep the faucet in the ‘on’ position for the touch operation to work. Note that it won’t turn on/off by holding the faucet and only works by a touch/tap anywhere on the handle or faucet itself. The hot/cold light indicator is also a nice feature. I used to think the touch faucets were a silly gimmick that didn’t have any practical purpose. After using it for myself, I have found they are very convenient and prevent having to grab the handle with dirty hands and also prevents water from getting on the back splash area because you can tap off with wet hands. I found it convenient to turn on with a touch of the forearm when my hands were dirty after handling raw chicken. This is a five star product in style, functionality and value. You can purchase an optional adapter for the touch sensor so batteries don’t have to be replaced later, which Delta estimated would last two years. That is the only upgrade that I will be doing with the faucet. Overall I am very pleased with the product. Update 05/10/2020: This faucet has been installed for 5 months and 16 days and the batteries were replaced today. The indicator light started to flash when the faucet was turned on/off, giving the message that it was time to change the six AA batteries. We use the faucet often and the frequency of battery replacement probably also depends on the battery quality. I’d say six months give or take will be average for battery replacement. The two year battery life estimate from Delta seems to be a gross over exaggeration. We continue to be pleased with the overall performance of this faucet and maintain the five star review.

Pros: The installation went pretty well, Delta does a good job of including everything you need and the fit and finish is quite good. I really like the functions of the spray-head, ease of touch to cycle on/off, LED color indicating temperature (although, it isn't terribly accurate), and the overall look of the faucet. Now for the cons: There is VERY little movement between full-ON and OFF with the handle. Meaning, you don't move it much at all and the water is full blast, then a little movement back and its at a trickle or off. That's a pretty fundamental flaw in such an expensive faucet (~$350). The touch-sensor triggers at odd intervals when trying to adjust the flow or temperature so grabbing the handle to change temp makes it cycle on and off randomly which is unnecessary wear on the automatic solenoid and you end up playing a back-and-forth game of touch and adjust. The angle of the head of this faucet was the biggest issue for us though. We had new quartz countertops drilled for it and positioned it so on full force, the water would point down the drain. If we put it closer to the sink edge (where most faucets are), it splashed water on the user (standard 30" x 18" x 10" sink). We had to position it 5 1/2" back to hit center of the sink, most people don't have that much counter space. This also became a problem because we could no longer install an under-the-counter soap dispenser, it would either line up with the faucet and be un-usable, or be next to the sink edge and look funny. Additionally, most other faucets, if installed in our countertop, would run about 2" from the back of the sink so in short; Delta kinda screwed us on this one. Lastly, the system runs on batteries and the battery case is pretty janky. Its difficult to load the batteries and there is no way to mount it on the cabinet or wall so it just lays on the floor. All in all, I would not recommend this faucet. We have a lot of buyer's remorse, largely due to the fact that our $3000 countertops are permanently altered to accommodate a sub-standard design. One of those things you don't find until you hook it up and turn it on. Update: the touch activated solenoid/valve has started failing. We haven't had it in 6 months (see original review) and it's already failing. Replacement solenoid? $150!!! Likely my last Delta product.

It’s the best kitchen faucet out there! I’m buying another for our beach house. Touch start is so convenient!

Llegó muy bien. Bien empacada en su caja original. Sugiero enviar en caja de Amazon para asegurar protección. Pero llegó bien. Se ve mejor cromado que Artic y tiene mejor precio.

Es un mugrero. El selenoide solo funcionó 3 meses, ya no sirve la función touch. La calidad del selenoide es pésima. Esperaría mejor calidad por el precio premium que te cobran. Ya no voy a volver a comprar nada de la marca Delta en mi vida. Están vetados de por vida.

Love, love this faucet.

The reviews on this product are not from the uk. Bought it and plumber eventually got it working however it will only give you warm water. Needs a different connection. It’s now in the bin. Waste of time.

Facile et agréable à l’utilisation. Le système Touch est génial pour économiser de l’eau. Un essentiel dans la zone de lavage de la cuisine, permet d’être efficace lors du rinçage de la vaisselle. Le mécanisme est précis et l’étanchéité est excellente. Ce n’est pas mon premier robinet Delta et le service après vente est excellent.
