VIGO Edison 19'' H Single Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Matte Black-VG02001MB

This is the second Vivo faucet we have owned in 2 different homes and we love it. It didnt leak, cleans easy and has a good height for functionality.

This should have been a high-end pre-rinse faucet providing care-free service. In fact, the original feed hose which came with the unit was kinked and would barely pass water. After two unanswered emails using Vigo's web-form inquiry tool, I spoke by phone with Vigo tech support. He said they would send me a replacement hose. But it took a second phone call and complaint to Vigo management before the hose was actually dispatched. Sadly, the replacement hose came with a built-in 'curl' or set. The hose would not flex outside of the plane of this 'curl'. Since the faucet swivels, there is only one position in which the swivel plane and the 'curl' plane coincide - everywhere else, the hose binds in the tube. At either limit of the faucet swivel, the hose will not even extend. The replacement does pass water and has not kinked... yet. All of this is a sad commentary if you consider that we have been making inexpensive flexible hoses which will flex in every direction for at least 70 years. I have worked in professional kitchens where the sinks were equipped with pre-rinse faucets and never seen this kind of problem or quirkiness.-----I've used this faucet for 3 months. Here is a bit more information. After a rough start (see above) the faucet has performed quite well. It's easy to use and works as intended. Judging from the solid stainless-steel construction, it will probably last forever. There are two nice features which a buyer might consider. First, the faucet uses a Spanish-made Sedal cartridge to control water flow. These are very nice cartridges which will last a long time. If purchased on-line, they cost less than $10 (buy the genuine Sedal cartridge - not the Chinese knock-off). These cartridges are not yet widely available in the US home improvement stores but that should change over the next few years. Of course, Vigo should supply a replacement if needed under warranty. The cartridges are easy to change. Second, this faucet uses a standard faucet aerator - the small gizmo that makes bubbles. This aerator is available on-line for less than $1. It's easy to change. If you live in a hard water area, the aerator and cartridge are two parts which may lime-up and need replacing and Vigo made this task easy and inexpensive.

We installed the black painted version in our kitchen update late 2018. Sure its showing some wear, but nothing warranting repair. I heard if you take the restricting washer out before you install it, the water pressure/volume is not a problem. But I'm sure that would be against the law. My wife occasionally hits the spray/stream button while simultaneous sliding or twisting it and it pops out of the handle, but its easy to compress the spring and slide it back into place. Not a big deal if you're at all handy.

So I have had this installed in our kitchen for a little more than 6 months. While it looks great it is becoming ever more frustrating to try to use. The button on the side that switches it from normal to spray mode started messing up a month or two ago. Just doing weird things at first like having to click it twice to switch them or sometimes seeming like it stuck and the pressure coming out is halved. Well now it has completely stopped working. It has been stuck on spray for a couple days now but the icing on the cake is that it is also stuck at half pressure as well. So it isn't even strong enough to actually rinse a plate off of anything that has any actual traction. But if you take off the handle (trying to see if it was mineral build up even though they claim the faucet shouldn't have it) the pressure coming out of the hose is amazing. So unless you can replace the handle piece by itself the sink is just about useless. And even then replacing it every six months would become annoying and a money drain that a sink never should be. Overall, looks nice and worked great for about 5 months but since then I have learned the build quality sucks. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this.

I installed this during the 3rd week of January, 2014. It was easier to install this faucet than remove the one it was replacing. There is a slight bit of play (if you force the issue) where the mount meets the countertop, which wouldn't exist at all if I had used something to fill in the gap, or had I purchased the optional escutcheon.This is the smallest of this style made. I originally thought the style would be overwhelming for my small sink (33" wide), but now, I wish I'd purchased a larger version of this faucet.One important thing not mentioned is the faucet handle. As shown in the photo in the upright position is as far back as it goes. This is great because it in no way comes even close to the backsplash. The full upright position is cold water and pulling it down (forward) is hot. You pull it to the right to increase water flow. Mine has no hot/cold markings, but that's unimportant. My previous faucet's handle pushed back to increase water pressure, but I could never get water at full force because the handle always ran into the granite backsplash. This is HUGE for me.For those having trouble with the hose retracting, you may simply need to change the position of the undersink weight. Keep trying until you get it right! Also, look for any items under the sink which may obstruct the hose or weight's clearance.For people complaining about the faucet head being plastic, they pretty much all are. Makes it less expensive to replace if necessary and prevents hot water burns since you do have to grab it to aim it where you choose.
