 Turns itself off March 21, 2010
C. Ferguson (Houston)
I have also experienced the "falling handle" problem with this model. While it is sleek and seems otherwise well-built, unless the faucet is all the way on (up), the handle will eventually fall down and turn the flow off. This is particularly true with the hot water.
 I LOVED THIS FAUCET - BUT... October 29, 2009
Happy Mom (NJ, USA)
I have owned this faucet for 5 years. Other than the fact that if you have it on too low of a water pressure it does turn off by itself, I couldn't have been happier with it's looks or function. Be careful though, I noticed last night that there were green flecks in my water in my pot. I immediately ran to the bathroom to see if it was a water control issue. Nope. I then cleaned the sprayer with vinegar which i do regularly. Better - but still green flecks. I then had my husband pull the sprayer apart and inside we found that the silver lining was flaking off of the plastic inside! YIKES - I have a 4 month old infant, and I'm scared to death that even though I boil his water I don't know how long that lining has been coming off. I immediately called Price Pfister and their customer service is amazing. I told them it was just the sprayer part but they said no they would send a whole new faucet, as a matter of fact if I preferred they would let me pick any other faucet that I liked so that I wouldn't worry about it possibly happening again. They are call tagging the old faucet, which I'm very glad so that if it is a more widespread problem they will be able to alert their consumers or fix whatever caused the issue. I chose the Hanover, but I do really love the Contempra - i just don't want to take the chance that it may happen again. Truly though, I can't say enough about their customer service, I will happily purchase from them in the future when we redo our bathrooms as well.

I should have paid more attention to other people's comments. As others stated in their reviews, the faucet turns itself off unless it is wide open. This will drive you mad. I removed the handle and tightened the compression nut as much as I dared, but still the problem persisted. I have now had the set installed for a year and I guess enough deposits have built up internally that the self turn-off problem has subsided. The soap dispenser stopped working about 2 months ago. I found the the tiny hole at the tip seemed to be internally lined with plastic and was constricted. I used a 1/16" drill and carefully drilled through the tip. This corrected the problem (at least for now). This set is expensive and should work better for the amount of money. Also, the extreme high rise of the faucet leads to horrible splashing problems.
 Good value for the money. December 24, 2008

Faucet design is a matter of taste, but I think this one is among the nicest looking in the same category of faucets. I am not a big fan of the feature that requires you to turn the water off and then back on to switch off the spray feature, but that's not a deal breaker for me. In terms of other features and performance, I have no complaints. I did have one easily resolvable problem though.
After owning the faucet for a little over a year, I started to expereince dripping under the sink, below the handle section. I think this is similar to the problem reported by a previous reviewer here who seemed to needlessly buy a whole new faucet as a result. I called Price Pfister about the problem and was very impressed with their customer service. When I called the 1-800 customer service number, I got through to an agent quickly and explained the problem. The agent said there is an easily replaceable cartridge that fits inside the handle, and this cartridge was the culprit of the leak. So they sent me an improved, redesigned cartridge (part #: 974-035) and a new brass retainer nut (part # 941-7110) to replace the older parts which originally shipped with the faucet. Since the faucet is covered under their 10 year warranty, these replacement parts were sent to me free of charge -- I paid just $5 for shipping and got them within a few days. Replacing this cartridge and retainer ring in the handle was extremely easy, and the instructions for doing this are included with the original faucet or they can be found on the Price Pfister web site. Replacing these parts does not involve getting under your sink. You just pop off the faucet handle after loosening with an allen wrench and then unscrew a retainer ring. The cartridge pulls right out (and be sure to pull out the washer too if that doesn't come up with the old cartridge). Problem solved.
As far as I can tell, comparable faucets are at least $100 more than this one, and in some cases they are not nearly as attractive. Unless the thought bothers you of possibly being out $5, for an easily replaceable part, and 5 minutes of your time, in the event this handle leak is even common, then I would definitely recommend this faucet. NOTE: I purchased this faucet a couple years ago, so it's possible that the improved cartridge ships with newly purchased faucets anyway.
I've never had an issue with the handle as one reviewer reported, but if I did I would not hesitate to call Price Pfister for a replacement part. Any faucet has the potential to break, and so a good warranty which allows for free replacement parts, good customer service and a design that allows for easy replacement by the customer are all pluses in my book.
Enexpencive but too very comfortable for me October 24, 2008

It a good faucet but I found it to be too high so the water splashes.
The pullout need to be pushed and adjusted into place
But this could be just me. Otherwise very nice contemporary.
