Is this a spot resist stainless? Also, how difficult is it to pull out the spray feature?

I don't know if it officially qualifies as "spot resistant," but we have not had any problems with spotting. It is very attractive. The only complaint we have, and it's a small one, is that when the faucet is fully on, the stream is so strong it splashes out of the sink. This is easily remedied by turning it down just a little bit.It is not difficult to pull out the spray feature, and it seats back into place nicely when you're finished using it. All in all, we like this faucet very much.

We use Weiman's Wipes on it weekly, and make sure to dry it with a dish towel if we notice water drops. If we don't notice until later, the spots still wipe off easily. The sprayer is very easy to use. My wife loves it!

It is stainless steel. Fittings appear to be brass. And it is not technically a pull out facet.. Jan

The one I bought is all stainless. There plenty out there that are not though. It's the best stout faucet I've used that doesn't have flow control

Test to be sure it is the real stainless, and not the coated stuff. Whirlpool has used both materials in different models. If you bought it because it resists fingerprints it is not likely real stainless

Stainless Steal... It's really quite rugged... I have used it on many projects and it's still holding up nicely...

Paint on my press is in perfect condition and it has had heavy use. The cone is stainless steel, is easy to remove and clean. It is very durable and easy to use even with my arthritic hands.

I haven't used my sprayer yet, but my intention is to use stain. I suppose the manufacturer's website would be a good resource, or inquire at HD or Lowes. Your question has made me interested in finding out as well.

It is a paint... But it also has stainless steel particles in the paint... It works great... I have used it several times on several items... Its a great product...

Yes, it's stainless steel. I've put it through my dishwasher with no problems. Cascade Platinum works great... no spots.

It might be stainless Steele but it's not a heavy duty stopper for outdoors. I could be wrong, but this option would not be one I'd consider for outdoor use of you're proned to weather

I haven't experienced any pitting. There is a strained steel spray cleaner you may want to try, but I haven't found it necessary.

The sprayer is plastic. I checked two other brands of similar design and they were plastic as well. I agree with Gunboat it matches very well and both work great!

I used the hole that was designated for the sprayer. The hole was already there as a part of the stainless steel sink design.

The sprayer is stainless on the outside, plastic on the inside. Works great.

It's been a while since I did this. The red thing is just there to prevent inadvertent pressing of the trigger - presumably while in shipment. You can simply pry it off with needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver. I would not have the nozzle pointed at anything you didn't want to get paint on when you did it, however. Funny you should ask this just now... Yesterday, I just saw the red thing laying on my workbench in the garage and couldn't remember where it came from... I used the aluminum colored can to spray paint some new plastic vents on the roof of our vintage Airstream trailer. It was a good match. It's been a while since I did this.

I honestly can't tell. Just went to look at my faucet and the pull out head looks and feels the same as the rest of the faucet (brushed stainless steel). It is very solid as it is insulated. I have had the faucet for two years now, use it many times a day as it is in my kitchen, and am still very happy with it. The spray head shows absolutely no signs of wear or scratches. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

I just received mine yesterday and unfortunately, the sticker was there. I tried scraping it off with my nail, but it seemed like I was just pushing the sticky residue around instead of removing it. SOLUTION: I ran the area where the sticky residue was under hot water; then, I scrubbed the residue off using an abrasive, soapy sponge. I was worried it would discolor the stainless steel, but it looks fine! Note: I'm not sure if this would work on the colored ones as it might scratch the enamel, but it might be worth a try!
