Single Handle Kitchen Pull Down Faucet with Sparyer Fit for 1 & 3 Hole with Three Working Modes Stream, Spray & Pause Brushed Nickel (SK5001NY)

We got this faucet after returning a similar one from another company. I wasn’t expecting what I got considering the low cost. It’s beautiful and sturdy.We chose not to use the deck plate and it looks great.A few things that beat out the other brand we got at the same price point. The size was the largest I could find at the price point. It was 2” taller than the other one and it made a world of difference. The handle doesn’t need clearance to the backsplash which was awesome as we have a short distance in back. The faucet hits the middle of the sink as it should. It’s angled properly. We had a delta that was a few hundred dollars and it never got the sinks middle which meant water splashed everywhere. This one keeps everything dry.The last and best part is the sprayer. It has 3 modes. The regular output, a wide spray and a power shot which is awesome! It makes quick work of removing stuck on food. It’s a game changer for cleaning dishes!I highly recommend this faucet. And it looks really sleek. We got the oil brushed black.

It’s so easy to install and no leaking! It’s got great pressure and moves easily! Looks fabulous!

Update May 6, 2022: just addressed sticky toggle switch that allows for changing between the multi and single stream settings. I used a pick to clean build-up, followed with a toothbrush and some cleaning vinegar and brushed around the switch and nozzles, poured some through and soaked the bottom (nozzles). It was like, a half hour. Back together and switches perfectly now.This faucet has NEVER leaked. Whenever you install any fixture with rubber gaskets/o-rings, lube them with dish soap or if you're fancy like moi, use silicone paste/grease. This will allow the o-rings to slip as the thing is tightened.. that way they don't rip/stretch and later fail.Update March 6, 2022: It's been a year. No trouble with the faucet, just our old galvanized supply pipes.. We get small, hard, black "rocks" out of most fixtures just after turning on the water at them. I suspect they're jamming up the toggle that allows switching between the multi-stream and regular spray settings. Not the product's fault. It's leak-free and otherwise works like it did when we got it. Even the hose is holding up fine.I wanted the neighbors to know who's got the biggest faucet, and they can see this one from the front door. You can easily fit a gallon container under it, and it should be quite nice for cookie sheets and such.Fit and finish are splendid, as well as operation, and at a very fair price. 5 Stars for these guys for fair pricing!Notes: Don't forget teflon tape when installing the hot and cold lines.Did not have to modify washer or nut, though the fit is tight nothing was damaged in install.Use dielectric grease or silicone paste to lubricate any and all rubber gaskets and o-rings during assembly to ensure they arent damaged while tightening.Modification: I made use of a "pick and hook set" to remove the screen in the faucet head to compensate for what struck me as underwhelming flow. I'll attach pictures to show the removed pieces. All one would need do is unscrew the faucet head and use a pick to remove a metal washer and flow restrictor. Provided that the doer isn't too clumsy, it took all of a minute to figure out and perform and is fully reversible if one dislikes the end result. Pictures attached of the pieces removed.To the manufacturer and buyers alike: The base plate (if used) struck me as undersized, not necessarily visually but definitely functionally. The faucet is large and heavy and as such a larger base would reduce wobble. I also consider the washer and rubber gasket beneath the sink (which are used along with the unique nut fastener to secure the faucet) to be undersized. My lovely girlfriend stood over me as I laid in the sink cabinet and she applied downward force to the faucet and baseplate to allow me to fasten it tightly enough to eliminate wobble not associated with the metal sink flexing.The bolts in the nut that allow for final tightness adjustments were combination philips/flathead. I used a #2 philips first to no avail, and followed with a slotted (hollow ground) screwdriver of appropriate size (#2 if they're sized the same as philips, mine's unmarked) and that got the job done!TL;DR No leaks, excellent pressure after basic modification, priced fairly. With an update of design regarding mounting I'd have no complaints. Would recommend and will update if stuff goes awry, as I only just got it today.03/23/2023 UPDATE:Adding a pic taken today - you can identify it by the new large single basin sink I finished installing yesterday. it has dog bowls in it and a row of supplement bottles behind it. I cleaned out the faucet head again and also used our air compressor to blow compressed air through it. Now the toggle switch on the faucet head works again (though family often leaves it between the two settings).I also added braided 3/8 to 3/8 male to female lines to allow for faucet relocation (only stocked in like, 24" lengths) and a "cheater vent" to our drain since our new sink has only one drain vs. 2. I figured id make use of the second one's piping instead of capping it. This serves to fix any glugging one might experience. - and yeah, our pipes are old and gross.. will be replaced once I learn how to do so properly.

This was my second experience with kitchen sink faucets in this (very reasonable) price range. The first one was a pull out spray head which made us realize we wanted a more flexible spray head, which brought us to the SOKA.The design and style of the SOKA is very nice. The flexibility of the spring mounted spray head is just what we were missing in our last faucet. We can easily reach all corners of the sink and even to a pan off to the side. The pause button is handy for that. Another positive feature is how smoothly the faucet handle can be operated to adjust the water temperature and flow (virtually no resistance or sticky operation).Installation was very easy for me. Everything assembled as pictured in the instructions. (The only comment I have here is that hex socket head screws may work better than the three Philips head screws provided to secure the threaded mounting ring.) It did take some experimentation to establish the best position for the faucet handle to allow easy access to the handle lever while washing dishes.The spray head flow is only downside I have with this faucet. In the stream mode it is very weak, and in the spray mode it is very forceful and splashy. I think there are two issues here with the design of the spray head; the flow rate is restricted too much to provide an acceptable stream, and there are too few spray nozzles resulting in very strong spray. Using spray mode we have to reduce the water flow to minimize the splashing, but this sometimes gives us a problem with our on-demand water heater as the flow may be too low to trigger the heater. Another reviewer commented that they removed the backflow valve from the head and saw an improvement in the flow. I tried that, but for me the results was not significant enough. I have replaced the SOKA spray head with the one from our previous faucet and the results are very satisfactory. It has two rings of spray nozzles so the water flow for stream or spray is more balanced. (The only problem is that the head is a brushed nickel so I will have to purchase a chrome equivalent on Amazon.)

Replaced a leaking faucet with this one and I love it. It looks good and has great stretch.

Was definitely skeptical based on the low cost. However, installation was straightforward and the faucet works much, much better than the older Moen faucet it replaced. Flow rate was good right out of the box and overall construction seems to be quality ( ot some cheap plastic faucet). Again, for the price, I am very satisfied and hope it offers some decent longevity.

Easy to install and it doesn't leak. Great quality and functionality. I had it over two year now.

I was expecting a cheaper quality product considering the price. This faucet is great, even the plumber thought it was good quality. Love it!
