Owned this product for over 6 years. Needed servicing at least every 12 months to keep it from leaking. That being said, Kohler customer service is top rate. They have always provided all parts free of charge and have sent me two full replacement faucets. Recommend Kohler, just not this faucet.

Pretty much in agreement with everyone else here. It’s been in for less than a year, and just started leaking from the base. What a waste of money.

I’ve gone through two of these, and both have failed. I 100% agree with both other reviewers. Terrible product. I’ve had the original repaired, then replaced. Wasted money hiring a plumber and buying replacement parts as well as a whole new faucet thinking the first one was a lemon. Please do not waste your money. It WILL leak within a year, guaranteed!

Like the other reviewer I have a similar problem with this faucet. It leaks at the base of the handle any time you turn it on. And from some other reviews I’ve read – even if you do repair it with the parts from Kohler it’ll just leak again within a year. Horrible product.

I recommend this faucet to anyone who likes the way it looks,as I do, and does not need to use it. As long as you do not turn on the water, it does not leak. If you need to use this as a faucet, I do not recommend it. I leaks horribly and when I tried to get Kohler to make good on the warranty it would only send weird looking parts with no instructions. The plumber said it would cost three times the price of a new faucet to try to fix it and he said he did not think it would really stop leaking. I finally bought another faucet–but not a Kohler!!
