InSinkErator Contemporary Instant Hot and Cold Water Dispenser Faucet, Satin Nickel, F-HC1100SN

We bought a new kitchen sink, and wanted to replace our old "instant hot water" faucet (which was chrome and black plastic) with one that would match the sink. When I was looking for alternatives I found this - didn't buy it at first because it seemed ridiculously expensive for a stupid little faucet. But after more research I found them all to be ridiculously expensive for stupid little faucets so I sucked it up and bought this one. It's well made, looks great, and once I forgot how much I paid for it, I love it. One feature that I did not realize it had is variable pressure for dispensing the hot water. If you pull the lever toward you, you get a low-to-normal pressure stream. If you push the lever away from you, you get a high pressure stream (high enough pressure that it sometimes splashes, so be careful).

I attached three photos. Original faucets and new main after remodel (1); upgraded faucets w brushed brass insinkerator hot water dispenser (2), final fix with working insinkerator French gold hot water dispenser that works and doesn't drip.Since my kitchen upgrade in 2018 I kept my old original insinkerator hot water, tank, dispenser and a cold water dispenser. Both are hooked up to water filtration while the main faucet is not. Water heater tanks tend to last just up to 10 years before they fail, I'm at the tail end of my second one which is still installed. New faucet but I really wanted a brushed gold it just wasn't as available then as they are now.First picture (1) is how things looked after the remodel. Very nice but I wanted brushed gold fixtures and accents in my kitchen.In December I ordered the same Kohler faucet in brushed gold along with a Kraus water faucet. Also ordered a new dispenser but in brushed bronze. Took picture (2) after all were installed by a plumber. If you are trying to decide between the brushed bronze and French gold, the brushed bronze didn't look exactly like the photo advertised. It has much darker "brush marks" than you can see in the photo. I would have kept it as is but as others reported the faucet failed 5 minutes after install. It dripped and had a failed air valve. Took it back and decided to order another in the French gold to see if it would better match. Was not available through retail outlets so ordered on Amazon.First, it is installed and it works, no drips and from picture three (3) I think it looks better with the brushed gold faucets. French gold is a shiny gold versus the brushed brass. The outer parts of the faucet are metal so in time I will add acetone to take off the shiny top coat and work from there to better match the color. I'm in no rush. I love the look overall and am happy everything works and looks like I originally envisioned.

The media could not be loaded. Worthless piece of junk! Started leaking 1 month after purchase! 3rd replacement in 5 years! Expensive item to purchase then you gotta pay the plumber $200-$300 for installation! That’s an extra $600-$900 just for installation! Complete crap, Buyer Be aware & Stay away!

We had a plumber install this faucet for our Reverse Osmosis filter. It works well, the instant hot is very hot and is great for instant tea or coffee. The cold water has decent pressure and works well too. Overall I like the look and functionality of it. It works well for us!

At +- 10 years begins to drip and cannot repair, must replace.

Needed to replace the original one I had and this open box item was unused and in mint condition. The swap only took about 25 minutes.

See photo for some guidance in case you're torn between brushed bronze and french gold to match your faucets!I bought a faucet set from Kraus, which don't sell a hot water dispenser so was worried about color matching. While french gold isn't "brushed", it's a far closer match than the "brushed" bronze.
