596-VS Simplice Kitchen Sink Faucets with Pull Down Sprayer, 3-Spray Design, Vibrant Stainless Kitchen Faucets, High Arch

Timeless Design, Smooth Operation, and Built to Last The KOHLER Simplice Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet has been a standout fixture in my kitchen for nearly a decade. From day one, it impressed with its elegant high-arch design and silky-smooth performance. The pull-down spray head glides effortlessly thanks to Kohler’s ProMotion braided hose system—it never snags or feels stiff. The DockNetik magnetic docking keeps the sprayer snugly in place every time, something cheaper faucets often struggle with. What makes this faucet worth its price is how thoughtfully it’s engineered. The three spray settings—stream, sweep, and boost—cover everything from rinsing vegetables to blasting away sticky residue. The sweep spray is particularly handy; it creates a fan-shaped blade of water that actually pushes food particles toward the drain instead of splashing everywhere. Installation was straightforward, even for a single person. The included supply lines and optional deck plate made it flexible enough for a single- or three-hole sink. After years of daily use, there’s been no leaking, no loose handle, and the vibrant stainless finish still looks like new with only a quick wipe-down now and then. If there’s a quirk, it’s that the water pressure feels a touch lower than older 2.2 GPM faucets—but the tradeoff is efficiency without sacrificing cleaning power. Bottom line: A beautifully made, reliable faucet that combines form, function, and longevity. The Simplice looks premium, performs flawlessly, and is still one of the smartest kitchen upgrades I’ve made.

Decent product, a lot of ways to use the faucet, both in spray, then steady stream, both light, then heavy, therefore great water pressure when required. Was easy to install, the price was good for value and the colour matched the description. Feel is good. Faucet tends to drip for some 5+ seconds after water has been shut off, otherwise a good purchase.

First, this Kohler faucet looks and feels superb. I love the matte black. The weighty feel and high-quality lever and buttons tell you in an instant that this is a serious, high quality product. I checked out many brands and am coming up from a six-year-old Home Depot Vigo faucet. The water flow is great. The boost helps a bit, but I'm most pleased that the flow is powerful and the sprayer is STRONG. Some complain it splashes. Fine, it may - but the powerful jets are worth it. It sprays in a fan pattern which I like. The spray cleans off food and residue with aplomb. I was very worried about pressure and this unit doesn't disappoint. There is an option for higher-flow (Kohler 1167290 Replacement Part) that I have ordered) which allows up to 2.2GPM over the standard 1.8GPM. I'm not complaining about the flow but I can never have enough...and this is one of the only ones I found with this available less-restrictive aerator (which only costs a few dollars). The button from standard flow to sprayer locks, unlike most which revert to standard flow when water is turned off. Fine by me. The pull-down sprayer head is the best: It's not an especially LONG pull-out - but I don't care. It sits securely and snugly with a magnet to really hold it in place. I like this because it doesn't LOOK like a pull-down; it looks solid. If you need a really long pull-out sprayer maybe this isn't the one - but it's perfect for me in a standard double sink. The unit swivels smoothly yet stays in place. I can't stress enough how well constructed it feels - and the (limited) lifetime warranty makes me very comfortable. I called and spoke with Kohler with many questions - and this unit met all my needs. The CS person was very helpful and really gave me confidence in the purchase. On thing I didn't know was the escutcheon (base plate) is primarily for aesthetics. I installed mine which looks great, but Kohler said it really doesn't help stability. I beg to differ, as the plate adds extra height and width. No matter, it feels and looks right on my otherwise basic aluminum sink. I would buy again and have no issues except one - which goes with most new faucets I've looked at: There is no visible indicator on the faucet handle of hot or cold (such as a red or blue dot). Would it be that hard for Kohler and others to make this standard? Since you can mount the handle in different directions it would help. Further, for those of us who have different faucets in different kitchens and houses with different people using them, it would be one less thing to think about when needing hot or cold. It's a minor quibble but not unlike indicating which side of your car the gas tank is on. Since the unit is black it may be tougher for me to "add something" like I did on my last chrome faucet (I used a permanent marker to place red and blue dots identifying temperature direction). Finally, the handle itself only moves left/right about 40 degrees - not 90 like some other units. I don't care - the handle feels great the the temp variation is well controlled. Buy with no fear or regret. If I run into any issues I'll post it here as an update!

We chose this model due to the design and functions it offered as well as the price and the Kohler reputation. We bought this to replace the crappy Delta Allora pull down model we had which cost $350 and lasted only 2 years before the magnet broke. They updated the model and the parts would not fit the old model. This was easy to install and seems to work very well. That faucet retracts quickly and securely into the magnetic holster. The sweep spray feature is very nice, but I wish it also had the regular spray. The pause feature is nice. There is a bit of splashing with this faucet and I don't know if there is an adjustment that allows you do pull the faucet down into the sink and let it hang without retracting so you can wash and rinse without holding it. You just have to train yourself to turn the faucet on low at first. The only thing is that it seems the faucet drips if you turn it off in the "sweep" setting. Once I set it to the regular stream setting the dripping stops. I think the price is a good value for a faucet of this type. I did not want a touchless because that's just one more thing to replace batteries in and I just don't think the extra cost is worth it. So I give this product 5 stars based on appearance, ease of installation, function and cost. Cheers everyone! 6/7/2022 Update: solution to low water flow-clean the screen. It takes a bit of effort for remove the part but it fixed the problem. I had ordered a new nozzle but was very disappointed that Kohler discontinued the pause feature and replaced it with a "burst" feature which is completely useless since it already has good pressure. The pause feature was great for filling containers and pots.

Very well packaged and arrived in perfect shape. Love the faucet - paired with a Kraus undermount sink - they look great together. No performance issues so far.

El producto perfectamente con lo que anuncia. Excelente calidad y acabado

It is difficult to control the water flow. It wants to be off or full power on. I find myself splashing water all over when I'm trying to rinse a small container. It is difficult to get a small stream of water. This is a small complaint and I'm sure I'll get used to it. I give it 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations for function, installation ease, looks and overall quality.

Perfect faucet for my guest washroom.

Good quality , bit pricy
