8 Inch 2 Handles 3 Holes Deck Mount Brushed Nickel Widespread Bathroom Faucet, with Stainless Steel Pop Up Drain, WF008-5-BN

I purchased this Phiestina faucet after scouring Amazon for highly-rated faucets that were of good quality and would not break the bank. This faucet was to replace a much more expensive Grohe faucet, also purchased on Amazon, approximately 5 years ago. The Grohe faucet started to freeze up after a year of use, making both handles really difficult to turn. Additionally, the design of the Grohe faucet made it extremely difficult to remove, given that the 2-piece lever/connection had also corroded, and would not come apart. With the 2 pieces of my Grohe faucet fused together in an L-shape that prevented its removal from my countertop, I resorted to using a Sawzall to literally cut through the pipe so I could then remove it. In my opinion, the design of the Phiestina is far superior to my previous Grohe faucet. Installation was a breeze, the lever action is super smooth, and if the faucet ever stops working, there is nothing that will prevent its removal from the countertop (in other words, I will not need to use a Sawzall for removal). The Phiestina looks elegant, the lever action is super smooth, and I'm incredibly happy with this purchase! 10/12/2024: This is a follow-up review after having used this faucet for several months. My family still loves this faucet, but we found that water tended to pool up in the wash basin if we left the water running for more than a few seconds. Once I pulled the pop-up drain cap out of the sink, the water immediately drained freely, meaning that the issue was with the pop-up cap/device itself. Sometimes it's the seemingly insignificant things that can really make or break a product. The pop-up cap certainly is a deal-breaker if you are not willing to modify it like I did with a Dremel tool. I started by cutting away at the side-wall (the frame that keeps the plug centered in your drainpipe), but that did little to increase the flow of water. I later realized that it was the 1/16" lip at the bottom of the pop-up cage that was agitating water, keeping it from flowing properly. I cut a couple of segments out with my Dremel tool, and the water instantly drains out of the basin now! This brings me to believe that the designers (or was it copied?) of this product simply did not do any field testing with it. Installing just 1 unit in a real-life situation before marketing it would have pointed out the drainage deficiency of the pop-up cap that so many consumers have reported. A consumer should NEVER have to modify a product to make it work appropriately, but that is what it took. I am now happy with the product in its modified form, but remain a little miffed over this oversight by the company. I've included pics of the modification needed to make this product drain more efficiently.

Very nice! Not too hard to install. At about 8-9 months the aerator went bad. I was lazy and didn’t attend to it until about 2-3 months later, at which point, Phiestina, the seller sent me multiple aerators free of charge, and the faucet now works like new!!! I really like this faucet. I especially appreciete how small it is and how it doesn’t splash water all over the place like my previous faucet.

Had to replace a dipping faucet that the previous owners forced the wrong valve in the cold handle (mumble mumble). Double sink, so doing 2 to match. This review is after the first install. So prewarning: I wouldn’t buy this if you don’t have faucet/plumbing experience. If you’re not the kind of person with plumbing tools, it’s probably not for you. Instructions are not helpful and not as easy as a name brand (Moen, Delta) to install. But everything is normal for a faucet and instructions aren’t necessary. That out of the way, with only a couple minor adjustments: widening the counter holes for the handles just a little, cutting down the drain pipe to fit my P trap, it was super easy to install. Muuuuch harder to remove my 1976 original than put this in. Parts are amazing quality. Not just for the price, they’re just solid period. Fit and finish is great. Love the pop-up drain for my kids. Will be easy to remove if I ever upgraded or get around to replacing the counter. It looks as great as ones I’ve paid double for, and nothing is loose, flimsy, or plastic. I’m thrilled with the purchase. Exceeded my expectations for the price. Much better than builder grade from big box hardware stores and less expensive at the time I bought it with the COVID home improvement boom jacking everything up. My caveats don’t diminish my satisfaction and the extra work has more to do with my old house than the product. Original work on my house is great (but nonstandard due to era), but nice to get yet another terrible repair job the previous owners did out of the way. Update: Have had 2 in for a few weeks and love them. No leaks or rework needed. Easy for the kids to use and I really like how they look. A totally different faucet in the house (my bathroom) is starting to crack in the plastic drain pipe where the stopper lever joins up. I installed it 8-10 years ago. I’m buying another one of these now to replace it because it has a metal drain pipe and I really like the pop-up stopper. Way sturdier then the fancier brand one installed there now.

The sink is great, one of that handles was leaky, amazon swapped it the next day. I'm happy with the faucets. The look and work great and are easy to install. It'd be 5 stars, I put 4 because the leaky handle.

Easy installation

Looks good. Good value.

I purchased this to fix a broken faucet. After a couple months the hot water side has a constant drip. I reached out to the manufacturer and got no reply. I also reached out to amazon since it was such low quality and was told my return window closed. Amazon was no help with this company and I feel that an item like this should not fail within 3 months. This is low quality. It was easy to clean and install but I would spend a little more and get something a bit better. Since amazon told me that they weren't going to do anything about this I tried to repair it as you would a normal faucet but it has a special size stem so the handle will not go on another cartridge (this should repair a normal faucet).

Works great

As advertised, no surprises, hardware seems to be of good quality, very well packed and protected in the box. I like specially the pop-up system, very simple and easy to access, clean, mantain and install. Also contacted customer service, and the next day I had a reply, all good!

Haven't installed yet, but im very happy!! Pics to follow on future

The item failed after 17 months with an internal leak in the spout assembly. Still giving 4 stars as customer service refunded my purchase price.

Started leaking from two hoses at the top where they are joined under the sink. Not happy about this. Tried everything. Plumber took apart and can’t find any holes. It’s the joints where the hoses are screwed together. Worked for only 2 years.
