KRAUS Oletto Touchless Sensor Pull-Down Single Handle Kitchen Faucet in Matte Black, KSF-2830MB

This is a nice faucet at a great price. The touchless action is different than others I have used , but easy to figure out. The look is elegant. I used one with and one without the touch less option. Simple install too. Not much under the sink time.

The things I like about this faucet: It is solid and well-built The water flow is strong, allowing me to clean the edges of the sink. Everything about it after a few months of use, is working perfectly. Things I don't love about it. The instructions were not the best or easiest to follow. The water flow is strong, and the narrow spray on a shallow sink will splash all over. The sensor only turns on the water if the water valve is already open on the faucet. I found that annoying, and it's not obvious how to disable the sensor once it's connected.

I ordered this faucet to go along with our new black apron farm sink during our kitchen remodel. I love the finish, the no touch functionality and the ease of cleaning. This is a great value and the plumber stated installation was easy.

Firstly, all of the parts were in the box (great start) and the directions shouldn't really be necessary, but they were pretty thorough all the same. The manual was helpful, if for no other reason than to supply the part number for the replacement cartridges (years down the line you may have to replace the mechanism inside the handle) and it's the only way I would have found out that THERE IS AN AC ADAPTER AVAILABLE! Supposedly the batteries last 18 months. That's about 6 years too short in my opinion. I'm sorry, I don't want to fuss with batteries for a faucet. I have tools and know how to use them. Changing the faucet itself would have taken a little less than an hour (removal + install) except I had to replace a dodgey supply valve first. Thank goodness for sharkbite fittings (who-ha-ha). So, two things regarding install. Get yourself some blue threadlock and use it on the two screws on the underside of the sink. The number one complaint about these single post faucets is they get loose over time. This threadlock should stop that, but the blue is removable. Red threadlock however will be an absolute nightmare, and is unnecessary. Functionality: Our old faucet made you choose between freezing cold water or visiting the burn unit. This valve is delightfully forgiving. One thing I misunderstood about how the faucet works is the automatic feature. To use the automatic feature, you set the temperature you want, leave the handle in the "on" position, and use the sensor to turn the faucet off. I thought you could use the handle or the sensor to turn on the faucet, but that is false. You can disable the sensor and use only the handle or just use the sensor. I just finished installing ours an hour ago, and we're already getting used to it (lots of automation in the house), but it will be fun to see people fumble with it who visit rarely. This is a water-saving faucet, but you would never know it. Our old faucet would have given young Greta Thunberg a stroke. It dumped so much water, but frankly, the pressure is higher with this focused spray nozzle. Blasting food from dishes will be easier. The supply lines are 3/8" compression-style fittings. This is the same size as my supply line. Locally, the only 3/8 - 3/8 braided supply line I could get is female to female (specifically, a dishwasher kit), but the connection from the faucet is also female. Fret not. You can go to the orange box store and get LFA-110 3/8 in OD coupling ("in" is inches, and this needs to be brass) or get a few extra here: https://www.amazon.com/ZKZX-Compression-Connector-Straight-Coupling/dp/B08TVMPZVN/ref=sr_1_3?crid=39C59MR01OOVZ&keywords=3%2F8%2BOD%2Bcoupling&qid=1704941759&sprefix=3%2F8%2Bod%2Bcoupling%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-3&th=1 (ASIN = B08TVMPZVN) Update: It has been about seven months, and we still absolutely love our faucet. There have been no malfunctions as of yet, and I have since installed another for a family member. They have been equally happy with it.

The faucet looks great and worked great for a few months now the sensor to turn it on and off does not work. It will always turn on the water but then 50% of the time it will not turn it off when it's cold and 100% when the water is hot. Really defeats the purpose.

I love the look and style of this faucet. However, the motion sensor really stinks. Honestly, I can’t return this because the time ran out before our project got to the point of installing the new sink. So, since I cannot return, I’ll be using the faucet but removing the batteries to avoid the motion sensor. The sensor is located at the base of the faucet which is not very ergonomic in the scheme of it all, and it will randomly turn off the water as I’m starting dishes. I cannot recommend.

This was a good fit and easy to install. It is much better value than the big box store names like Delta or Moen. The instructions are very good and the water temperature is very good and the swivel is very good. The style is a little bit different. It doesn’t match a whole lot of stuff but overall it’s a good faucet. I decided to go with the touchless version. I have warranty my previous faucets from this company over 10 years and they do not hesitate and send all the parts minus the shipping

*** Update: 5 stars to 1 star - Purchased Oct 2024, approx installation date was 3 or so weeks later. Not even 6 months in, in the last 60 days we are having issues with the hands free sensor not turning off the water by hand motion. We have to switch to manual to get it to turn off. We have changed the batteries, it seemed to help for a couple of days, then back to the same issue. It used to work intermittenly, now it doesnt work at all. Very disappointed. I'm going to contact the manufacture to see if they offer any support. I will update my experience. Delivered quickly, packaged very well. In excellent condition. Heavy and smooth. Hands free works well, its a nice feature have this on the side. The only thing is the sprayer. There are only 2 spray options. It does state this in the details. The switch goes from the solid spray to the wide spray (wide spray is very narrow) too easy, almost unintentional. It would have been nice to click from one spray to the next spray option. We had it installed a week ago, so we'll see as time goes on.

This touchless gold kitchen faucet is a sleek upgrade to my sink! The motion sensor works well, and the gold finish adds a luxurious touch. Installation was straightforward, though the battery compartment could be more accessible. Water pressure is strong, but occasional sensor delays happen. Overall, a great blend of style and function—just needs slight tweaks for perfection.
