What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly appreciate the Delta Leland Touch2O faucet, viewing it as a significant upgrade in kitchen convenience and hygiene. The Touch2O technology is the star feature, frequently cited as revolutionary for tasks involving messy hands, allowing users to easily turn the water on and off with a simple tap anywhere on the spout or handle. The Leland design itself receives high marks for its classic, transitional aesthetic, fitting well into various kitchen decors. Furthermore, Delta's proprietary features, such as the MagnaTite docking system, ensure the pull-down spray head stays securely in place, contributing to the high perception of quality and durability. However, the sentiment is not without caveats, primarily revolving around the electronic components. The need for frequent battery replacement (typically 6 AA batteries) is a recurring minor frustration, leading many users to strongly recommend purchasing the optional AC adapter to eliminate this hassle. A smaller segment of users reports occasional sensitivity issues, where the faucet might activate unintentionally, or conversely, require a very specific touch to engage. Despite these minor electronic quirks and the premium price tag associated with the technology, the consensus is that the convenience, high-end feel, and robust construction of the Leland Touch2O system justify the investment, resulting in very high satisfaction levels among long-term owners who value modern functionality.
Know before you buy
The Touch2O technology allows you to turn the water on or off by tapping anywhere on the spout or handle. It is highly responsive and designed to distinguish between a deliberate touch and accidental contact, making it a convenient way to keep the faucet clean when your hands are messy.
No, the TempSense LED is integrated into the faucet and powered by the same battery system used for the touch activation. It provides a visual color indicator to show water temperature, helping you avoid accidental burns.
ShieldSpray creates a concentrated jet of water to power away stubborn food particles while being surrounded by a sphere of water that contains splatter. This allows you to clean dishes effectively without creating a mess on your countertops.
Yes, the Leland faucet is designed for versatile installation and can be mounted in either a single-hole or a three-hole configuration. If you have a three-hole setup, you will need to use the included matching deck plate to cover the extra holes.
The faucet features Touch-Clean spray holes, which are made of soft rubber. You can easily clear away calcium and lime buildup by simply wiping the spray face with your finger.
The faucet uses DIAMOND Seal Technology, which features a valve with a diamond-embedded coating. This design is engineered to last twice as long as the industry standard and eliminates the need for traditional washers, significantly reducing the risk of leaks.
