KOHLER K-596-BL Simplice Single-Hole Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet, Matte Black

El producto perfectamente con lo que anuncia. Excelente calidad y acabado

Got this for my home renovation and sitting in my storage as I could not install it without a specific reducer that cannot be bought online... and cannot be found in the UAE or Europe. I discovered this too late from my contractor and cannot return it 😭

Awesome tap, does everything well and smoothly and looks great with the new square sink it sits on. I like the way the spray feature works and it works well, the handle operation is so smooth it's fun to use. Some taps are difficult to figure out how they work but this one is simple -pull the lever towards you for cold and away from you for hot. It's typical Kohler that you get what you pay for but in this case it was a really good deal, would definitely buy it again.Update: had the faucet for 5 years now and there is a major design flaw but it only shows up after constant use. The spray hose developed a leak because of the badly designed counter weight which slides up and down it creating a hole and the “quik connect” broke trying to get the hose off to replace it so now the tap is useless. I would expect a better design from Kohler, would not buy this facet again

This faucet replaced a similarly style Hansgrohe unit that developed a leak somewhere near the valve which ran along the spray hose equaling a mess under the sink. This Kohler build quality and finish is much better than the Hansgrohe. The Kohler uses less hardware than the Hansgrohe which made installation quick and surprisingly the Kohler was sturdier (no flex or wobble) even with using the 3-hole cover plate on our mid-grade stainless sink. The valve is fluid making it easy to adjust temperature and water flow. Additionally, the faucet head locks into either stream or spray mode (the Hansgrohe did not lock into spray mode) plus the water shunting button really works well (great for filling lots of items without getting water on the counter). Another plus is there is a swivel where the hose attaches to the faucet head reducing strain on the hose when filling taller items.Because the install and quality of the Kohler was so nice I decided to order 2 more units to replace the 1980s style faucet in the rec-room basement kitchen and at our lake house. The only knock is the feed hoses felt a bit thin even though they are stainless wrapped, but after they were pressurized they did feel solid and sealed without issue to our the shut-off valves. The spray hose is a black (nylon?) woven material that is extremely lightweight, but works well as the weight attached to the hose allowing for the hose to slide back up and seat properly.

First, this Kohler faucet looks and feels superb. I love the matte black. The weighty feel and high-quality lever and buttons tell you in an instant that this is a serious, high quality product. I checked out many brands and am coming up from a six-year-old Home Depot Vigo faucet. The water flow is great. The boost helps a bit, but I'm most pleased that the flow is powerful and the sprayer is STRONG. Some complain it splashes. Fine, it may - but the powerful jets are worth it. It sprays in a fan pattern which I like. The spray cleans off food and residue with aplomb. I was very worried about pressure and this unit doesn't disappoint. There is an option for higher-flow (Kohler 1167290 Replacement Part) that I have ordered) which allows up to 2.2GPM over the standard 1.8GPM. I'm not complaining about the flow but I can never have enough...and this is one of the only ones I found with this available less-restrictive aerator (which only costs a few dollars). The button from standard flow to sprayer locks, unlike most which revert to standard flow when water is turned off. Fine by me. The pull-down sprayer head is the best: It's not an especially LONG pull-out - but I don't care. It sits securely and snugly with a magnet to really hold it in place. I like this because it doesn't LOOK like a pull-down; it looks solid. If you need a really long pull-out sprayer maybe this isn't the one - but it's perfect for me in a standard double sink. The unit swivels smoothly yet stays in place. I can't stress enough how well constructed it feels - and the (limited) lifetime warranty makes me very comfortable. I called and spoke with Kohler with many questions - and this unit met all my needs. The CS person was very helpful and really gave me confidence in the purchase. On thing I didn't know was the escutcheon (base plate) is primarily for aesthetics. I installed mine which looks great, but Kohler said it really doesn't help stability. I beg to differ, as the plate adds extra height and width. No matter, it feels and looks right on my otherwise basic aluminum sink. I would buy again and have no issues except one - which goes with most new faucets I've looked at: There is no visible indicator on the faucet handle of hot or cold (such as a red or blue dot). Would it be that hard for Kohler and others to make this standard? Since you can mount the handle in different directions it would help. Further, for those of us who have different faucets in different kitchens and houses with different people using them, it would be one less thing to think about when needing hot or cold. It's a minor quibble but not unlike indicating which side of your car the gas tank is on. Since the unit is black it may be tougher for me to "add something" like I did on my last chrome faucet (I used a permanent marker to place red and blue dots identifying temperature direction). Finally, the handle itself only moves left/right about 40 degrees - not 90 like some other units. I don't care - the handle feels great the the temp variation is well controlled. Buy with no fear or regret. If I run into any issues I'll post it here as an update!
