Weird stream angle? One reviewer seemed to think this faucet aims too far forward. Anyone else experience that?

I haven't noticed anything bothersome about the stream angle. So far so good.

I think the angle of water into the sink is just fine. We have a Kraus single bowl kitchen sink and it works great. The pull out appears to be heavy as it is harder to extend...perhaps the hose is a tighter fit or there is too much of it? I like how it keeps your last setting for spray or flow. Overall a nice faucet with a great look.

We have two kitchen sinks with this faucet in both. I would not say it aims too far forward...it seems just right to me. However we have quite deep sinks...10". I would say that the pull out feature feels a bit awkward because of the angle of the faucet...it's not like a PULL DOWN faucet. It is usable, but I probably don't pull it out as often as I would a pull down faucet head. I do really love the on and off handle being centered instead of on one side or the other of the faucet. It's so much easier to use with either hand that way.

I don't feel there's anything weird about this faucet. We are very pleased with it in every way.

Nope, I like the angle. It lands right in the middle of the sink bowl. Pics available . Let me know.

I do not see this happening on my unit. This can be variable and depending on mounting position in your countertop.

Hm, maybe, but only now that you mention it. We just got this faucet and so far it's been great. It is in a large single basin sink, so the forward(ish) stream is not a problem for us.

It may have a slightly more outwardly angled stream, but nothing crazy. Awesome faucet.

I don't think so...but the angle does change between the stream and the spray - the spray is further forward than the regular stream, because there's more pressure behind it.

I have this set-up and the water spills 1 inch beyond the actual drain opening. This has not caused a problem for us because we held the faucet on the wall and spilled H2o down the channel before actually installing it This let us know exactly how far it would take to have a perfect aim. the distance was adjusted before any holes in the wall were made. Hope that helps!

What are you talking about? Mine is high above the sink and the water-stream goes angle so I am not touching anything. Maybe your sink raised above the counter?

I have not had any issues with the faucet regarding the swivel position. I know you have to make sure the hose running down from faucet is not hung up on anything. We are still very pleased with the faucet. The only issue I had was the brushed finish versus a chrome finish. The brush finish seems to show water spots. Good luck resolving this problem.Terry

Yes, you're right about this, I have found the same thing with mine but it doesn't bother me too much because I like the faucet so much. The faucet I had before this one had a cheaper lightweight sprayer and it was a pain too, because it was SO lightweight. It also did not retract very well. We have a pull-down sprayer/faucet in our laundry room and it isn't perfect either, even when I push it hard up into the faucet head, it usually falls back out a bit. With this Sonoma faucet I've just become accustomed to lifting the sprayer to a position where I know it will either begin to retract on its own or I can more easily push it back down. I hope this factor concerning the faucet won't bother you too much.

I purchased four of this model recently and love them. Three of them have equal flow from hot to cold. One has a lower flow rate in the hot position than in the cold position. I have no idea why this is the case as it is adjacent to another (double sink counter) faucet that has the same flow rate in either position. I wish the flow rate in hot position was higher but can live with it is acceptable for my needs.

Yes, I did have problems with this faucet. So much so that I had to return it.

I am not a plumber, but my faucet does not want to stay put either. Kid of think it has something to do with the weight that makes the nozzle retract. Have actually got use to it. Otherwise it is a beauty.

Angled is just fine. Mine is also an angled faucet, and I added a splitter with shut offs for each side so I could have the Lixit and the hose off the same hose bib.

The spout does not reach as far down as you would expect - maybe only reaching the base of the faucet. It is a little stiff, as well. However, the style really makes up for that!

I didn't have this problem. Mine attached fine to the normal outside faucet.

I'm sorry, but I had to return this faucet because it was too big for our purposes. I seem to recall that it rotated all the way around, but I could be wrong.

Sorry! Can't help with your problem. Out faucet was installed by a plumber and we have not had any problems whatsoever.

The sides are slightly curved longwise. But both sides are the same height. The thing you need to worry most about is a tall enough faucet.

We had the same issue. Turned out it was a plumbing issue, not this device. The plumber has to balance hot & cold, to your preference. It took him less than 2 minutes to adjust it. Good luck!

I think it probably would... Maybe I've got a little too much pressure, I actually liked a different model that I had at my other house where you could turn the knob on the face to narrow the stream. I think this one would be better if you could stick something in there to narrow the stream, as it is it kind of comes out like a big funnel cone. It's just alright. Look around and do some research.

We had to mount ours at an angle to keep the handle from hitting the back splash. One interesting thing we noted was that we're a right-hand favoring family but always tended to use our left hand when turning on our old faucet so we mounted the faucet with the handle on the left-hand side. I love this faucet by the way.
