I purchased one of these and installed it. Construction quality appears to be good. The arched faucet top turns easily but isn''t firm, it wobbles a little, this appears to be part of the design. The faucet tube is well insulated so it doesn''t get hot when you are running the hot water, a nice feature. My one complaint is that the faucet sputters (not a steady stream) when aerator screen is in place. This is fairly dangerous when there is 200 degree water coming out and it is spattering all over and spitting up from the edges of the outlet. I removed the aerator screen and everything works well.

Of note, the mounting hole is 1" not 1-3/8" so plan accordingly. If you didn''t the escutcheon will cover the larger hole so you can get by. The hot in tube is 6 mm and the cold in tube is 1/4", pretty standard for these systems. Mounting was easy and the seal to the counter is an o-ring so it should be good.

This faucet looded great when initially installed in November 2007. I purchased the brushed stainless steel version. After about 1-2 years it started to rust and pit. Also, it has always tended to drip even after stuting off several times. Initially I thought I had a defective one so I complained to Everpure and a distributor replaced with a new one. Unfortunately the same thing heppens on the new one replacement). Another thing to note is that the handles tend to become loose and wiggle around. I have to tighten them regularly.

I still have it in use today and I put up with the dripping because I like the way it matches my other faucets in the kitchen.
