I was knocking wood, crossing fingers, praying this would work. a cheap mainstays faucet didn't last 3 years due to the "washerless" washers. ummmm, ok... and being off-brand could find no decent replacement parts. plumbers are nearly impossible to find in rural AR. They won't get off the couch for any job that doesn't make a month's salary in a day. being disabled 45 F, single mom, i did NOT want to do this. hardest part was taking out old mess men left behind, and lovely how men designed things in such a way that it's so much harder than it needs to be. us women must work smarter, not harder, due to brain vs. Braun. scouring all the old tools left behind, not a single basin wrench, so i had to try a few different things. I researched faucets vs. reviews vs. cost several times and decided to try this one.
i do not know how long it will last. i didn't like the lines being kinked in how they stuffed box, which concerns me in how long it can last. but boy, oh boy, it was a breeze to install, and it's been wonderful. had a few weeks. nice to not have an old faucet with no space to wash pots and two knobs like bathroom faucets, like why??? so hard with germy hands.
