If you’re on a budget, yet still want to upgrade your kitchen to a commercial level, then look nowhere else.

Quality and The Looks

One look at it and I’m sure you’re wowed. Danze D455058 appears to be so much like an industrial faucet but with a price tag that would make you do a double take - in a good way.

Available in both stainless steel and chrome finishings, everything except the spray head of this faucet is made up of brass.

I’ll get to the spray head later, so let’s admire the design first. It does have a 22.75-inch high arc, but what really gives it a commercial look is the open-coil spout.

Once installed, it’s sure to steal the show in your kitchen. The build quality is high, and the faucet, as a whole, is made to last.

You’ll love how solidly it stands on your sink and given its height, it’s surely to something to look at. It also features a ceramic disc valve that ensures drip-free performance and a smooth 180-degree turn on the sink.

The Pull-Down Spray Head

Like in most faucets on the market, the spray head of Danze D455158 too, is made up of plastic. While this may seem a disappointment for many, don’t forget that a metal spray head will burn your hands after running it through hot water.

But the housing of the spray head is stainless steel, so it won’t stick out like a sore thumb. Chances are, you won’t even know that it’s plastic until you’ve used it.

If you fear the durability of this spray head, then you better not. It’ll last for years under normal use. But if you notice the coating coming off with time, a replacement spray head will only be a phone call away!

The pull-down feature of this spray head is good as far as it goes. It can reach only about 6 inches, so if you need to reach deeper into the sink, then this model is not for you. But its versatility doesn’t stop here. It delivers two different sprays ; an aerated stream for normal day to day washing, and a full blast of water for tough rinsing jobs.

A Great Warranty Coupled With Great Customer Support

Now here’s the piece of information that’ll make even the most sceptic buyers press the ‘buy now’ button - Danze backs your purchase with a limited lifetime warranty. But what actually gives value to this warranty is their excellent customer support.

They strive really hard to stay true to their word and understand what an important role a faucet plays in your kitchen. You can easily reach them via an e-mail or a phone call and replacement parts will be sent out without delay - not to mention at absolutely no cost.

However, the warranty doesn’t cover labour charges and commercial use.

Application of abrasive cleaners and improper use will immediately void the warranty too. So, to be on the safe side, don’t forget to leaf through the conditions before placing a buy.

Things To Keep In Mind

Don’t buy this faucet if your kitchen is small - at 18.3 x 16 x 2.8 inches, it is meant to take up a lot of countertop space. For this reason alone, many buyers end up regretting their purchase.

So even if you believe it’ll fit your kitchen, I do advice you to measure it out first.

Another important point is avoiding mineral build up. If you’ve hard water, then you need to consider installing a filter to the spray head. Without a filter, the the rubber gaskets, seals, and valves within this faucet have a high tendency to meet an early death.

When it comes to mounting the faucet up, it’s super easy as the package includes everything you’ll need. The single-hole installation will most certainly not require a plumber too and if you’ve been the handyman of your home, then you’ll be able to handle it smoothly.

Danze Parma is also one of the very few faucets that meets the standards set by ADA. So even a disabled person can access it with less or no support.

For healthier performance, the faucet has been certified by California AB 1953 and Vermont 193 Act for low lead composition.
