Try seeing an exploded view of the sprayer and you’ll see the image in a partial view. When you can finally work thru their idiotic website you see the exploded view cannot be adjusted to see ALL the component parts, hence, making it impossible to view the needed parts much less be able to order them. Do they really think we’ll just give up and buy a new one of their over priced faucets instead?
Not me, I’ll go back to a cheaper Delta or whatever….It’ll last longer and if I can’t get parts it won’t cost over $300 to replace again, after only 2 years yet!!!

I purchased this faucet back in 2002. The looks of the unit are great (w/ have the brushed nickel faucet.) However, as similar reviews have indicated, the quality of this unit is fair at best. We have taken full advantage of their lifetime warranty repair service. We have replaced the faucet handle three times, and now the base of the faucet has locked in place (it will not swivel from left to right any longer.) At this point, I have asked them to send me a brand new one as I am sick of refurbishing the old unit.
If I new what a pain this faucet was and had to replace it every three years, I would have not purchased it.

I have this model in polished brass. it is wonderful! Have had it for about 7 years now. It is heavy duty, the handle slides out easily, without having to push any buttons to get it out, when you want it to, and has a nice spray, strong enough to clean the sink. It stays put if you just want a regular faucet. I would definitely recommend this. ( I am very very picky about hardware.) I like it weighted, fabulously functional, and durable, and this is all of those. It has three modes of operation by sliding the little rubber mechanism on the top of the faucet with your thumb, you can go from regular sink mode, to half regular/light spray, to full spray.
This faucet/ sprayer is nice!

I bought this faucet (in stainless steel finish) because I liked the look and because it was not as huge as most of the faucets on the market. I’ve been using it six months, and I’m not very happy with it. Here are the things I don’t like:
First, the flow is so slow it takes forever to fill a pot. The spray and stream have about the same flow rate, and there’s no way to increase it without removing the screen assembly with pliers.
Second, the button for switching between spray and stream is covered with a rubbery/plasticky material that retains fingernail marks and looks like it’s developing a crack. So far the crack is just on the surface (and might just be a fingernail mark; I can’t tell), but at only six months, it doesn’t inspire confidence that the faucet will last for years. The mechanism for switching is fairly stiff, so I have to press quite hard and grope around under the rubber to try to get the button (especially going from spray to stream), and then I sometimes leave a fingernail mark (though my nails are short).
Finally, all the rings and ledges that give it the sort of old fashioned look catch water, which dries, and leaves a residue, and the cracks are hard to clean; have to press a dishcloth into the grooves with my fingernail. There are four or five places on the faucet that need this treatment, and it usually doesn’t happen in my house!
In summary, it has a nice look and a nice finish, but I’d definitely pick a different faucet (and particularly a different design for the switch) if I had it to do over.

While we’ve had this faucet for just under a year and haven’t yet experienced some of the others’ problems, I will say that the decrease in water pressure is the absolute show-stopper for me; my wife makes daily threats to rip it out by its [blank-blank]. We weren’t privy to any reviews before ordering this model, and chose it for the Kohler name, basic design and, importantly, its polished nickel finish (which is mercifully still intact).
It will soon be replaced.
