My husband installed this faucet and encountered two problems with the installation (both mentioned in other reviews). First, the hot and cold water hoses are somewhat short, in our case quite a bit too short. Normally this would be a small problem easily solved by a trip to the nearest hardware store for longer hoses. The problem with this faucet is that the connection of the hose to the faucet is not the standard size so simply replacing the hose doesn't work. My husband solved this by getting an additional short standard hose and a 1/2"X3/8" nipple to connect between the supplied hose and the water supply. The second problem is that the instructions tell you to attach the sprayer hose to the faucet AFTER the faucet is mounted on the sink. If the sprayer hose fitting had a standard type of connection where a wrench could be used this might have worked. It does not however, apparently being designed to tighten either by hand or with a pair of pliers. In our case there was not enough room for a pair of pliers and it could not be adequately tightened with fingers. The result was lots of water under the sink as soon as the faucet was turned on. The solution was to dismount the faucet, lift it up, push the sprayer hose up through the hole and make the connection in the open where the pliers could be used. This is what the instructions should have said to do.
A final problem is with the temperature control. There is a limited range of motion when turning the handle to set the temperature. There is a method of adjusting the one end of this range but not both. The result is a temperature range which varies from cold to fairly warm, or from luke warm to hot. It can not be adjusted to vary from cold to hot. Perhaps this feature is useful if there are children in the household, but in my case I prefer to get only hot water when the faucet is turned to hot and only cold water when it is turned to cold.
On the plus side, it is an attractive faucet (hence the second star).

This Kohler faucet was so easy to install. It looks great. You would think it was a much higher end product. It's got a nice weight to it. Not cheapy. We've always bought Moen but, so far, we are totally sold on Kohler.

This is a nice faucet (5 stars), but the installation isn't necessarily quick (3 stars). In my case the supply lines were too short even though I don't consider our shutoffs to be that unusual. That entailed a trip to the hardware store and spending as much as I would have to provide my own supply lines in the first place. In addition, if you attach the faucet to an installed sink before attaching the sprayer hose per the instructions you have to depend on hand tightening the hose because there isn't even enough room for a sink wrench. The sprayer attach point is up between the back of the sink and the extended bolt which holds the faucet to the sink. Initially, using the sprayer tended to loosen the connection so it leaked, but I tightened it, then left it alone for a few days. It seems ok now. The only thing about the faucet that could be better is that the sprayer hose out-gases for a while and is fairly stiff plastic so it's a little hard to get the hose configured under the sink where it's easy to pull out and push back. Running hot water through it until it softens helps.

A very easy installation. Faucet fit holes and connection hoses where of sufficient lengh for easy connection.
