Anyone who has remodeled their kitchen or bathroom knows how important the fixtures are in making that room as beautiful as it can be! We bought are fixer upper house about 9 years ago. Our house is older so we knew eventually we would have to redo the kitchen and bathroom completely. The first room that we updated (COMPLETELY GUTTED) was the blue bathroom..YUK, I was so happy to see that blue bathtub go. After the bathroom we also gutted the kitchen and replaced everything including the sink and faucet. I wish I could show you pictures but they unfortunately got lost when my computer crashed a few years ago.
We really didnt know much about remodeling and just went with the cheapest faucets that were available, we would later find out what a big mistake this was! Cheapest means that you are going to get the lowest quality and end up having to replace the “cheap” fixture for another faucet.In the end you are going to end up spending even more like we did.
I wish that someone would have recommended Delta Faucets to me when we were remodeling our house. Delta is a company that makes just about any type of faucet for your kitchen and bathroom. We were lucky enough to get to review the Orleans Two Handle Kitchen Faucet with Spray and it coudn’t have come at a better time.
From the moment I pulled the Chrome faucet out of the box I LOVED it! The Orleans faucet is beautiful and very well made, unlike the faucet that we had previously installed. I was a little worried about how easy the installation would be because our last faucet was difficult to put in and ended up leaking all over our cabinet.
The Orleans box came with step by step instructions that made it easy even for me to install this faucet. To make things even easier there is a video gallery on the Delta website with step by step instructions on the more difficult things like flushing the Kitchen lines and even a video for installing the kitchen faucet. I’m a visual person and I need to see how things are done so this came in very handy for me! The installation took us about an hour for everything.
The Orleans Faucet looks absolutely amazing in our kitchen and really makes it stand out. The sparkling bright chrome and arc is one of the first things that you see when you walk into my kitchen. I have gotten several compliments from friends and family on my new sink. But the most important and best thing about the Orleans is that is works so well and NO LEAKS! The amount of water and pressure of the sprayer is great and comes in handy while I am washing my dishes. I am very impressed with my faucet and knowing that it has a lifetime warranty for as long as we own this home gives me peace of mind that I will not have to purchase another faucet if this one happens to break.

My experience with Delta Faucets has been great and when we upgrade the bathroom fixtures again very soon, we will replacing our old faucets and accessories with Delta. I hope that you will take my advice when I say that cheaper does not always mean less money. Delta is very reasonable in price and has great quality products. My family and I LOVE our new Delta Orleans Faucet!
