Is this faucet really difficult to keep spot and fingerprint free as one reviewer stated??

If you are anal, then maybe it is. I don't pay attention, so it never bothers me. I notice smudges on my stainless steel fridge, so I'm not completely oblivious.

I don't have a problem with that.... I like this faucet and don't worry about that

We rarely clean ours and I don't notice any fingerprints or smudges, unlike our more shiny fridge/dishwasher/stove that mark easily.

It's not really difficult. When I clean my stovetop or sink with non-abrasive cleaner, I gently wipe the faucet with a tiny amount of cleaner, It polishes right up.

I am not bothered by water spots on this faucet. I don't think mine is especially bad looking. It's a work horse. I do probably clean my sink every other day.....but I am not a neat freak or cleaning fanatic. Still love this faucet. Don't use brillo on anything stainless steel - it will scratch it. However you can use a FINE steel wool on stainless steel sinks. It will make it look like brand new. Don't rub really hard in any one spot.

Be prepared for a wet countertop as this thing sprays water everywhere. I think you're better off finding a faucet with a nozzle that comes straight down. Also connection from retractable spray comes lose at times and leaks.

I haven't had that problem... I believe I'd had this faucet for almost a year now and the finish is still brand new. Sorry you are having that problem. I will pay closer attention to mine now :)

Yes, I installed it , removed the doorknob and kept the deadbolt in.....the thing is though that if you close the door with the deadbolt, you won't be able to get back inside using only the fingerprint...

I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily. So far so good, but it has only been in service for about a month. No problems and I don't see why it wouldn't hold up though. Other than the underside clamp ring being flimsy and not holding it to the sink well, it seems like a very nice product. I personally don't like that you have to hold your hands very close to the spout for it to activate, but once you position your hands in that "sweet spot" it works great and reliably shuts off. So much better than the plunger type valve that it replaced. Chrome finish wipes to a shine easily. I am using it in a business bathroom where it gets lots of use daily.

Yeah-I recall having to remove it once when the pipes were being cleaned from rust. This is a really great faucet btw-for the price, it feels solid and heavy duty, yet simple and elegant. Worth very cent.

Installed some time ago and difficult to determine from tapping on the faucet. This is second one I've owned and had no trouble with exterior chrome coating. Replaced first due to plastic diverted breaking.

I am using this device strictly through my home automation system so only use mine through my mobile phone. I am not sure if finger prints are an issue since I don't use the keypad.

I have one in black. No problems with fingerprints. I just wipe it down now and then.

The fact that you pull straight down, & not out & down, makes it a bit easier. But I would say the that the tension is about the same as any faucet that I have used. I have been extremely happy with this faucet.

I have the purple one but my son has the stainless steel one and no I've never seen finger prints.Hope this helps. We both love our hydro flasks! Great product!

It's easy. There is a reset button. They all (the fingerprints) get wiped away with one touch.

I have not seen any fingerprints on my screen ! I've used it for about a month now.

Yes very easy! It has a hard plastic liner in it - so you can literally just hold it under the faucet and rinse it out. I like that it was a plastic shell - rather than those bunchy bag type liners you see in some portable coolers. I really love it.

We have used it about a year and it is very durable. We have very hard water and I have had to soak the head in vinegar every few months to remove the calculus. My only gripe is that in order to keep the spray feature "on", the force of the water needs to be high and that results in splattering spray all over the area. Instead I use the stream feature and hold down the button to spray. My former faucet would stay in spray mode with very low water pressure. I used that as my default mode but can't with this one. It is a good value, nice looking, it has the soap dispenser which I like and it is easy to take the wand out and put it back in if you want to fill something on the countertop.

It is a metal faucet, but the underside that would run from the counter to the faucet IS plastic. It doesn't look bad or noticeable, but yeah, it's not ALL metal. We have had 2 of these for a year with no issues.

it just does it. no lock but it always stays put after use. Of course you have to gently put it back in place. I love this faucet. I have never seen another I like as well for the price. Classy and functional
