Hi..This faucet seems too high?? any opinions on the size? I am installing a rectangular one bowl stainless sink but this faucet seems overpowering.

This is an elegant take on the pro style sprayers that are in food and restaurant kitchens so as far as the size, it is larger than a typical kitchen faucet. If you are unsure about the size then I wouldn't get it. I have uploaded a picture of it installed in the products image gallery on the main product page on Amazon so go take a look at that.

I have a 10 inch squared sink and i'm in love with my Blanco Culina. Maybe for your needs this is too powerful but on my side it is handy slick and tight, just perferct. It is high but it gives you room to work under it, the control are precise for the power of the water coming out of it.

I don't think it's too high. It's probably one of the first things people comment on when they see our kitchen. They get a kick out of its sleek look and the magnet. The only thing that is a drawback is that the faucet actually comes down too low in front. When you are washing dishes, if you accidentally bump it with a pan, the faucet falls off the magnet. It can be irritating. I read this in other people's reviews and was willing to put up with it for the neat look and the awesome price.

I have it installed over a single bowl rectangular stainless sink as well. It sits in the middle of my island and is a show stopper. It looks fabulous and not to tall to me. It's sleek design keeps it from being overpowering like so many other tall faucets. I've had this faucet for 2 years now and I still love it!

I absolutely love this faucet and it doesn't seem overpowering, but we do have a deep farmhouse SS sink which helps to balance it. My ONLY complaint is that there seems to be a clear coat of some sort on the handle which is peeling off.

Not too high at all... BUT it is also not as Rugged as you would think a 'Semi-Pro' faucet would be...The spout itself is just plastic covered with a thin chrome coating that will come off and cut your hands after the first drop or clank against a pot...If you are a delicate person it is a great faucet, but we have two kids and a maid who are rather hard on it... so wouldn't buy it again...

I put this faucet in an island, double stainless Julien sink ...I think its perfect for my application,... I had seen it in a showroom so I knew what it looked like...after using it, I now appreciate the design and height... because you can reach on/off lever underneath the horizontal bar if needed...depending which hand is free... and the length of the flex hose is right for reaching corners of the sink when in spray mode....

The height is fine - but I have to tell you the magnetic clasp for the faucet drives me bonkers. At the slightest touch it falls off. You bump it slightly with a pot and it falls off. Bump it while pouring or washing your hands and it falls off. I wouldn't buy it again for that reason. I do have a double bowl rectangular sink - one side bigger than the other and its a beautiful overall item, sturdy and heavy and quality material.

I have a single bowl sink, 32" wide, and this looks great with it. The faucet is one of the highlights of our kitchen. It's sleek and simple with a small footprint, so it's not overpowering in that sense. In terms of height, that's a matter of opinion. Yes, you can knock the sprayer down, but you get used to avoiding it and your coordination builds. I've gotten into the habit of turning it to the side and that just about solves the problem. Also, sometimes, I just let the sprayer hang free and turn the arm away completely. The neck isn't stretchy, so it doesn't fall into the sink. It pretty much just holds it shape in place. I even have the water running at full blast and the sprayer stays put.

We love it. When installed, the outlet of faucet is 7" (18 cm) above the countertop, and the very top of the faucet curve is 21" (54 cm) above the countertop. It seems very proportional for a deep single or double bowl sink. We like the ability to swing it to the side when putting stock pots into the sink to fill or wash. Overall, we would give it 5 stars out of 5.

Hi my faucet is 13 inches and it is a good height not too tall you could probably go 12 but I wouldn't go smaller. FYI : this was something I didn't consider, sink and vanity height, I am 5'2 and it's a reach for me.

Height? it's bigger than you would think...it measures 6 inches but appears much deeper. When centering the faucet we had to make sure the water flow hit directly in the center so there would be no splash...so far no problem with that!

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.

Depends on the height of the sink. The bottom of the spout to the base of the faucet is aboout 4 inches only. I have discovered that you need to install the faucet as far back from the back of the sink due to the "throw" of the water from the spout - 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the water pressure. I had 4 installed with undermount sinks - they look good. However, in order to eliminate mineral deposit stains on the open spout trough, you should wipe it after every use. Incidently, any faucet of proper height for vessel sinks will "SPASH" out and could leave you WET!

I have not had any problems with this faucet. I would check your installation.

Hi Denise, thanks for the question. As much as I wanted to, but we did not buy the Kraus faucet.. only the sink. I heard the faucet is one tall guy and my kitchen is small, crisp and modern. We instead went for a touchless Sensor activated faucet from costco. It was a great addition to my modern kitchen.

Thank you for your inquiry.Please check to make sure your plumber attached the round weight on the hose under the sink? It comes with the faucet. This could be the issue.Kind Regards,

I measured it the other day and I believe it's only 6 inches over the sink...that's from the front of the faucet. I hope that helps. It's a great faucet.

Hi Karen my counter height is 36 1/2 inches The sink sits 3 and 1/4 inches above the counter. I am 5' 4" and if I am not standing on a bath mat it is difficult to wash my face, because my elbows hit the sides of the sink. It is a custom top on the cabinet, i think that is the issue. Great sink and i installed a bar faucet in bronze that swings out of the way completely. If I can be of more help nifteedogs@gmail.com Stef

The faucet is 9 1/2 inches tall from the base. It doesn't go over the sink too far and it does swivel out of the way. I really like this faucet.

You might want to check on the sink size. I have a double sink, but live in a condo. Not sure if double sinks are a standard size. Length of the shelf extends 1" past sink on both sides. With does extend over my single lever type faucet. Overall quite happy with shelf ans is durable.

Personal opinion is no . It will look funny as your sink is too small. Will it work, probably yes, bit would recommend something smaller as it will look over sizedPS I am very happy with the faucet, looks great and works great

I don't think it will be a problem for you, but it depends on your sense of space. We definitely felt like the faucet was enormous when we first installed, especially compared to what we replaced. It took next to no time to fall in love with the look, performance and functionality of it. We do have to 'train' people on how to use it, since there is the main on/off and also an on/off for the pot filler arm. We love it, and our sink is only 20"x22" and it isn't overwhelming there at all

I have a double sink and it swivels to pour into both sides, just fine. What I like most is that the arc of the faucet is high enough to accommodate tall pots & pitchers. I haven't had ANY problems with it and would buy another one, if I ever move!

It is that tall. It is a very nice faucet, there is plenty of room to put your hands (or whatever) under for washing. We love tha handle. It looks great, works great...I think you will love it!

Hello, glad to help. I would not buy this product again only because it hangs down too far and blocks area. Also After using it and looking at it, I can't figure out how it goes down to filter and then comes up, not sure I like that I want a clean through the filter and out the faucet. Am purchasing another one. Hope this helps
