Delta Kitchen Faucet vs upgrade to Brizo
TOCL&H
5 years ago
Hi All, I own a Delta Kitchen Faucet.
I love the design, but the handle is extremely stiff making the water temperature impossible to regulate. A 1/4" turn takes water from lukewarm to ice cold or vise versa. It's so spastic, I'm completely fed up with it. I've called Delta twice, and they've sent me new parts to no avail. I'm considering upgrading to a Brizo faucet with two handles.
I'm thinking that the two handle design will make water temp regulation easier. Does anyone have any knowledge of Brizo? I know they're owned by Delta, but are they higher quality than Delta faucets?
If there was a way to fix my current issue, I'd be happy to keep my faucet. Does anyone have any ideas?

Brizo Talo Smart Touch Kitchen Faucet
Comments (1)Hello, While I cannot directly answer any of your three questions abut the specific product, I just wanted to add my two cents' worth: I am inclined to agree with your husband about anything with "smart touch" technology. In my experience, ANY piece of equipment -- be it an appliance, fixture, car, machine, or gadget -- that has additional high-tech features will ultimately require more maintenance for those very same "smart" features. IMHO, if money is a consideration (as it almost always is) then buy the best medium to medium-high grade product with the least amount of additional features. I find that simpler is usually better in the long run. Best of luck -- Mamiam...See Morebrizo or delta faucets? quality difference?

Comments (64)My attention was drawn back to this thread by someone who liked an earlier post here, and I wanted to update to say that I did move forward with a Brizo articulating faucet purchase in the end and received excellent pricing during a sale at Quality Bath online. The issue with the articulating faucets falling forward has been fixed, so unless you were to order really old stock from a warehouse somewhere, all the new faucets for the last few years feature the fixed joints, and of course, Brizo faucets come with Delta's lifetime warranty. I ordered two of the Brizo faucets in the Brilliance Stainless finish which is PVD stainless steel and among the most durable of finishes available for faucets on the market today. Anything with "Brilliance" in front of the name from Brizo means that it is PVD. Note that Brizo's chrome faucets are merely electroplated, so you'd need to choose a finish that specifies "Brilliance" to get the PVD finish. The articulating faucets from Brizo that feature covered hoses, which is the style I purchased, are all newer releases and so would have the fixed joints no matter where you ordered them. Quality Bath does not stock Brizo in house, so any order you placed from them would come directly from the factory. I'm really happy with this choice and look forward to many years of longevity from the Brizo articulating faucets....See MoreDelta Trinsic kitchen vs. prep faucet for second sink
