I'd always thought of them as being a good solid product for a reasonable price. I'm starting to have my doubts though.
When I bought my house, it had all cheapie faucets throughout. When I got married and my wife moved in, she had to have a sprayer in the kitchen, so had the whole faucet assembly replaced (by a professional plumber, was a surprise when I got home and found a new faucet). She selected a Delta, thinking it'd be a good value and give us good solid service. I don't think it even made it a year before it was leaking. After probably a year or so of leaking I had enough and dug out the paperwork and contacted them. They warranteed me the replacement parts, which I swapped in. Of note they had obviously been redesigned, so I thought hey, problem solved. This time it probably went about 2 years before leaking. Once again, a year after leaking started it's bad enough I can't take it anymore... Just e-mailed them again to see if they'll warranty those parts again. IIRC, my local general store has those parts to for just a few dollars if not.
Is this normal to be replacing parts like this? There's just 2 of us, this faucet *is* the most used in the house, but it's not used THAT much and the second most used was old when I moved in, is cheap, and has yet to leak a single drop... Did I just get one that's defective?
