GIMILI Matte Black Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer Single Handle High Pressure Kitchen Sink Faucet Commercial Double-Headed Kitchen Faucets

Overview: This Gimili Commercial Faucet EXCEEDED my expectations in terms of build quality, fit & finish, ease of installation, and overall functionality. It is made from solid Brass you can see this when you turn faucet on its side to install hot/cold water lines - and the sheer weight of the fixture. I've taken several pictures of the brushed nickel finish - I recommend buying traditional finishes - chrome, oiled bronze, brushed nickel, possibly the other metallic finishes brass, gold, champagne, I would not recommend painted colors or mixed metals with paint - anything with black/matte black reason being the metallic finishes have been around and are usually applied using PVD technology which will last a very long time - the pained finishes may be power coated/baked similar to automotive finishes and may not be as durable over time considering the sudden drastic temperature changes, wet conditions, harsh chemicals used in and around the sink area and the abrasion caused by parts rubbing against each other and even your hands touching parts over and over.The Perfection of the machined parts fitting perfectly, even with the optional use plate, all parts fit well, so far after 10 days no leaks, valves (all 3 - main handle/temp/volume adjustment, Pot filler - volume only and Spray Wand Push valve - volume only) work smoothly, evenly - quality "feel" and without drips. Before installing I gently tightened spray hose onto main assembly, left Spray wand detached so I could flush lines after installation - good thing I did because my main shutoff under sink is old and washers are very worn - black water came out which is a sign those washers are shot - I will replace those valves once I get proper parts delivered.Installation: I read all of the "so called Bad reviews" many of them were complaints about installation - everything from how to tell hot from cold lines when connecting feed pipes to fixture to hoses being too short - they were perfect length for my arrangement - feed pipes and valves coming from basement through wall inside cabinet about halfway up. If you old fixture required extensions then so will this one - those extensions can be purchased at any Home Depot/Lowes/Walmart etc.. or ordered for 1-2 day delivery on amazon, The connectors are US standard 3/8" compression - any home built to current standards will have this type of connection for a sink (don't know about mobile homes). The type of threads/fitting is called 3/8" the nut to tighten is NOT 3/8" use the correct size wrench there is no standard for the nut size some are as large as 3/4" for 3/8" fitting - I don't remember what this was - I have open end SAE set that goes from 1/8" to 7/8" and everything in between- if you are doing this kind of job yourself - you should own a set of SAE open end wrenches or at least an adjustable plumbers wrench and some teflon plumbers tape - otherwise get someone who knows how to do this and has correct tools, you shouldn't be doing this if u can't figure out what wrench to use. Next Issue I noticed is which Washer/gasket goes where - although the directions are extremely well written better than most American Faucets I have purchased - I included pictures of those sections - the one BLACK rubber gasket has a raised edge on one side that fits perfectly and flush on bottom of fixture put it there and push it in so it seats flush screw in hot cold lines (see picture) - if u lay faucet on its back with lever on the right you'll notice on lever 2 dots one red one blue - red is in front blue in back now look at bottom of faucet while it is laying there two holes for the pipes one in front one in back - blue/cold/back, red/hot/front - that simple. I also enclosed a picture of a $less than $2.00 long nose mini vises grip I got as part of a cheap set at Tractor Supply Company as part of a cheap set of mini vise grips, I'm sure Harbor Freight has a cheap set in the "Clearance Bins" as well - if you are careful u can use these to gently tighten a 1/4 turn after hand tighten the hoses to the fixture careful not to damage the steel braid on outside of flexible pipe - don't really need to do this - I also put a light coat of silicone or teflon grease on the threads of all the brass fittings including the big one that holds faucet on sink - it makes screwing things down easier and smoother and if u need to disassemble in the future u will be glad you added the grease - prevents corrosion. Just a little on threads and O-rings on flex pipes - don't get any inside the pipe. After pipes and black Gasket is installed next is the plate ONLY if you are covering up unused holes - if sink has only one hole u don't need plate. Now u need someone to hold faucet and plate nice and straight - use a ruler to make sure plate is centered front/back and parallel to the rim of sink, hold fixture nice and vertical inside plate hole. While u go under countertop / sink and thread on white rubber washer first - I put the textured side towards bottom of sink then metal washer then big nut with two screws on either side threaded in just enough to hold them in - of course screw heads are facing towards the floor (see picture of heavy duty long handled Philips Head Screw Driver = I can't believe bad reviews because installer didn't know/have a long handled screw driver - again considering how cheap these tools are now-a days - there is no excuse for not having a set or else don't do work like this) Here is another complaint - IT WOBBLES - here is how to get a nice secure faucet - lightly hand tighten large nut to top - IMPORTANT - THEN BACK IT OUT - LOOSEN NUT AT LEAST 2 to 5 TURNS - see DIRECTIONS I POSTED - If you tighten nut all the way then try to tighten screws - it won't work - the nut has to have small space - I didn't measure but at least an 1/8-1/4" lower than the bottom of sink - enough to screw in both screws almost all the way - there should be some threads left on nut screws - you don't want them to bottom out - if they do, back them out and tighten nut a couple of full 360 degree turns - complete revolutions - you want some screw 1/8=3/8 still exposed - when u tighten screws do both sides together going from one tighten a bit then the other then back and forth so they tighten evenly you don't want one screwed in almost all the way and the other only 3/4 of the way - then should be even - when u start to feel it getting harder to turn ask your partner to see if faucet is tight with a little wobble - you want it so faucet doesn't wobble plate should not move - now faucet is top heavy but when you pull down sprayer a little give is ok it will never be ROCK solid so long as it isn't loose at the base and baseplate is not sliding = hand tighten with screwdriver only no wrenches - you shouldn't be struggling where the correct size screwdriver is slipping off the screw because of the force u are applying. REMEMBER DO NOT TIGHTEN NUT ALL THE WAY TO BASE OF SINK - LOOSEN IT UNTIL SOME THREADS ARE EXPOSED BETWEEN BOTTOM OF SINK AND TOP OF NUT AND USE THE SIDE SCREWS ON THE NUT TO TIGHTEN FAUCET TO PLATE/AND/OR TOP OF SINK - Tighten until faucet is not wobbling and baseplate cannot be slid around top of sink also fixture should not easily rotate inside plate if you try and spin it with just your hand. A single wrap of teflon tape on 3/8" male on/off valve threads should make for a leakproof connection DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the nuts - they ae compression fitting and have integrated rubber washers that seal the connection - if u overtighten u can crack the nut then u need new hoses from fixture to water feed - I know because I have made this mistake in the past. Just tight enough so water hose does not spin inside nut - Also make sure you hold water hose perfectly vertical as u tighten nut - you'll notice the hose and nut spin separately u don't want to twist the hose as u tighten nut keep it straight and untwisted otherwise it could unseat inside fixture or it could break - its a plex hose covered in stainless steel braid with compression fittings on both ends.Soap Dispenser - Simple to install see instructions - 2 rubber washers one on top one on bottom. Works great with any liquid soap and container is extra-large holds 2x as much soap as my old Moen soap dispenser. Also refills from top just pull out pump mechanism and refill. Brushed Nickel finish matches faucet.Function - This Faucet would probably not pass California's restricted water pressure codes, but I live in NJ no water issue here and I LOVE the pressure - old faucet took over 90 seconds for hot water to get to kitchen this one 30 seconds or less even in 20-degrees F outdoor winter conditions!! I took photos of just sprayer at full blast, just pot filler at full blast and BOTH at full blast - the best water pressure I ever had in any household fixture - truly a commercial fixture as u need that kind of pressure to clean baked on food and grease from pots/pans and dishes pre-rinse before dishwasher. Manufacturer recommends that main water handle be shut off for long periods of not using water - like overnight - it is easy to use the separate pot filler and sprayer water regulators and forget to turn off main faucet regulator/temperature handle valve - I have 60-65 PSI water pressure (was over 90 PSI until I put a water pressure regulator on my main water incoming line after I blew up several fixtures, ice maker fill valve, washing machine auto fill valve and ultimately, my Natural Gas Hot Water heater developed leaks way sooner than it should have because pressure way too high. So, at 60-65 PSI it is within standards but you don't want to have even that continuously hitting your smaller regulators (pot filler & Spray wand) in your faucet for no good reason for that extended time - they were not designed for that - the main valve was - so use it - I always leave my pot filler regulator on about 25% so I remember to use the main valve regulator and water temp control handle.Finally - PRICE- for this price I don't know how they do it - lets compare to big name brands - first you will not get a Kohler, American Standard, Delta etc.. all brass faucet for under $400-$500, the closest model Kohler had to this one with much lower water pressure a cheap plastic parts spray head, and restrictions in using only one filler at a time (with pot filler or spray not both at same time) and it was $800. Folks complain it is made in China - So are every American Brand under $400-$500 - they too are made in China. Warranty - that is the only substantial difference I noticed - the name brands offer limited lifetime warranties - most will provide parts for life of faucet and several will substitute a new model if old model parts are no longer stocked - for example Kraus used to make this model they stopped and offer a model with an awful plastic spray wand that is the single most troublesome part - one owner had this model made by Kraus and when it needed parts they sent them the new model - they complained after a couple of months saying they wanted this model back - unfortunately Kraus no longer makes this model. I wrote the manufacturer with two questions - does their Brass contain lead and why only a 2 year warranty - they answered no lead and they will support product well after 2 year period and will provide parts - common parts like valves most likely no charge or minimal charge after 2 years - it depends on what needs replacement and why - obviously if your house losses heat and the faucet burst from well below freezing temperatures that is not a manufacturing defect. But the way I see this is I could buy 3 to 4 of these before I can get one Kohler with none of these features. So long as there are no catastrophic failures that cause extensive property damage (although my Moen after 13 years burst its hot water line - thank goodness I installed Govee smart water alarms all around the house - they notify me wherever I am in the world via text and email that I have a leak and exactly where that leak is as each device I custom named i.e. kitchen sink, HW heater, Sump Pump etc... I get loud audible alarm as well as messages time and date stamped - I can remotely reset to determine if it was a small leak or constant flow). Moens limited Lifetime warranty does not cover any damage to my home just parts to fix faucet.Cons: The only con is my old faucet handle was on the left this one is on the right - just have to get used to that - other than that I love it....

Great product at a reasonable price. Look at similar ones at local stores and they were twice the price. We’ve had it installed about a month and love it. Great pressure, great feature. Looks great with our black sink. Highly recommend.

Installation:Was simple, and typical of any faucet install - crawl under the sink, forget the wrench, crawl out, get the wrench, crawl back in, etc. All of the needed components and accessories were included, and it went very well.Quality and use review:The quality of this is excellent - the valves shut off completely, no drips, the head comes down nicely and covers the whole sink area. The 'pot filler' is sweet - it swings over the entire area, and is very handy. The spray head also swings to cover the entire area, and locks up nicely in its mount.The spray head only sprays! At first I had doubts about liking this, and I love it. Most of the time I am rinsing or washing pots, etc and use the spray anyway/ For filling pots or washing hands, the pot filler works dandy, and swings out of the way when you need clearance.Last note - I leave the master handle on all the time, and adjust it only for temperature. This provides instand water to whatever handle I need it at.All in all, I could not be happier.

We installed this faucet a year ago and I have some valuable feedback I can provide. Is this faucet perfect? No. Is any faucet perfect? Also, no.Here are my thoughts:- I wanted the functionality of two people being able to use the faucet at once. And while you can do this, the water pressure will drop as a result.- No one who uses your sink (outside of your family and sometimes within) will understand how to use the faucet.- The faucet is not well positioned over the sink- it's too short so splashes water onto the counter. Maybe my sink is really deep?- The sprayer doesn't pull down so you have to spray the sides of the sink to get debris down the drain.- You CANNOT always have the base handle in the "on" position and use the switch at the end of the faucet. We did this for months and months and had plumbers come out to try to figure out why we didn't have hot water in our showers throughout the house. It cost us a lot of $ to figure this out (we thought our tankless heaters weren't working). Now we turn the faucet off at the base (which leaves water from our hands on our counter). Let me just say we much preferred the functionality when we could always keep the base on- then you can also use the sprayer on demand.- Once the faucet started spraying from one of the joints randomly when we weren't home- we had to tighten that joint and clean up the water on the wood floor! But now that the faucet is always off at the base it's no longer a concern.- The mixing is off so it goes from hot to cold, not much of a range and it takes a long time for the temp to adjust.- The design is relatively modern, so stick with that. Why the bulbous base and the tapered handle? It definitely has an identity crisis.- You will periodically have to adjust the screws on all handles and knobs as they get loose over time.Now I'm wondering how I really feel about this faucet!! I have gotten used to it's quirks and I do like that I can reach over and use the sprayer to rinse my hands while my husband is washing pots and I was unable to find another faucet with this functionality with better reviews.

Faucet works great and is tremendous value. I built new custom kitchen, and this is one of the most talked about features. ( despite many other custom features) Very unique faucet. I thought the LED had quite working, but found out it doesn't work on spray function, only on full stream. Understandable as the turbine that turns to produce the needed electrical current, is run by nozzle not the spray.Recommend its purchase. Customer service is amazing as well. You couldn’t ask for more.I now have installed a 2nd one in customers new custom kitchen, they too are amazed by quality and functionality of this faucet .Again can’t go wrong with this, great value.Update: Sept. 24, 2023 In-laws have been using apt for several months now, so has had regular use for a change, Seems that it has developed a leak at the spray trigger and has a hard time completely shutting off unless turned to cold . While it says that it has a 2 yr. warranty, I can't seem to find how to start the process.

It's a nice looking tap. Light and overall paint has held up very good so far. Only complaints is it does not come with baseplate and it lacks "depth" the water reaches into the sink; meaning it splashes a bit ourside of the actual sink more than usual. Other than that very good

We're in Nova Scotia, Canada. We love our Gimili Kitchen Faucet. It was easy to install and after two years still works great. One issue we have is that our water is very hard and the light mechanism stopped working after 18 months. I contacted Gimili customer service and they are amazing! Our rep, Sunny, immediately sent us a replacement light which was very easy to swap out. Sunny went to considerable effort to make sure I received the piece and understood how to install it. Once we realized what the issue was she let me know I could purchase replacement lights for the future when the iron build-up messes up the light again.I would purchase the item again and trust the company to look after any issues I might have. Thanks Sunny - you're a great customer service rep!

Faucet is great but the led never works as it should . The blue stoped working and it's now red when it's cold and green when it's hot. Not sure what the problem is but other than that it works great.

I do not like the fact that it doesn’t come with a deck plate other then that it’s great for the price and the u can find a deck plate cover for 15$!! Amazing product for the value.
