KOHLER 596-BL Simplice Kitchen Sink Faucets with Pull Down Sprayer, 3-Spray Design, Matte Black Kitchen Faucets, High Arch

Timeless Design, Smooth Operation, and Built to Last The KOHLER Simplice Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet has been a standout fixture in my kitchen for nearly a decade. From day one, it impressed with its elegant high-arch design and silky-smooth performance. The pull-down spray head glides effortlessly thanks to Kohler’s ProMotion braided hose system—it never snags or feels stiff. The DockNetik magnetic docking keeps the sprayer snugly in place every time, something cheaper faucets often struggle with. What makes this faucet worth its price is how thoughtfully it’s engineered. The three spray settings—stream, sweep, and boost—cover everything from rinsing vegetables to blasting away sticky residue. The sweep spray is particularly handy; it creates a fan-shaped blade of water that actually pushes food particles toward the drain instead of splashing everywhere. Installation was straightforward, even for a single person. The included supply lines and optional deck plate made it flexible enough for a single- or three-hole sink. After years of daily use, there’s been no leaking, no loose handle, and the vibrant stainless finish still looks like new with only a quick wipe-down now and then. If there’s a quirk, it’s that the water pressure feels a touch lower than older 2.2 GPM faucets—but the tradeoff is efficiency without sacrificing cleaning power. Bottom line: A beautifully made, reliable faucet that combines form, function, and longevity. The Simplice looks premium, performs flawlessly, and is still one of the smartest kitchen upgrades I’ve made.

I bought this to replace an American Standard faucet that had extremely low pressure. I was a bit worried about the GPM on this, but it can be difficult to find faucets that put out over 2 gallons per minute. The installation was moderately easy. You can check the instructions online, the only difficult part for me was getting under the sink cabinet and trying to work in the small space, actually hooking up the new faucet was easy. I was really impressed with the performance after the install. I thought that the spray sweep function was going to be marketing BS, but it turned to to actually perform as shown, it is easily my favorite feature on the thing. The faucet really puts out a powerful stream. Even the normal mode has much improved water flow from my previous faucet. The button on the side to increase flow even more is especially helpful. I really like that the head swivels 360 degrees, it makes it really easy to use the nozzle. The magnetic docking is cool as well, it helps keep things looking tidy. Others have questioned the longevity of the faucet, and I can't yet comment on that as I have only had it a few months, but from a pure performance standpoint I am very happy. At this point if I am going to replace something in my house my first look is always to Kohler. I have owned a bunch of their products and they always seem well thought out and executed.

First, this Kohler faucet looks and feels superb. I love the matte black. The weighty feel and high-quality lever and buttons tell you in an instant that this is a serious, high quality product. I checked out many brands and am coming up from a six-year-old Home Depot Vigo faucet. The water flow is great. The boost helps a bit, but I'm most pleased that the flow is powerful and the sprayer is STRONG. Some complain it splashes. Fine, it may - but the powerful jets are worth it. It sprays in a fan pattern which I like. The spray cleans off food and residue with aplomb. I was very worried about pressure and this unit doesn't disappoint. There is an option for higher-flow (Kohler 1167290 Replacement Part) that I have ordered) which allows up to 2.2GPM over the standard 1.8GPM. I'm not complaining about the flow but I can never have enough...and this is one of the only ones I found with this available less-restrictive aerator (which only costs a few dollars). The button from standard flow to sprayer locks, unlike most which revert to standard flow when water is turned off. Fine by me. The pull-down sprayer head is the best: It's not an especially LONG pull-out - but I don't care. It sits securely and snugly with a magnet to really hold it in place. I like this because it doesn't LOOK like a pull-down; it looks solid. If you need a really long pull-out sprayer maybe this isn't the one - but it's perfect for me in a standard double sink. The unit swivels smoothly yet stays in place. I can't stress enough how well constructed it feels - and the (limited) lifetime warranty makes me very comfortable. I called and spoke with Kohler with many questions - and this unit met all my needs. The CS person was very helpful and really gave me confidence in the purchase. On thing I didn't know was the escutcheon (base plate) is primarily for aesthetics. I installed mine which looks great, but Kohler said it really doesn't help stability. I beg to differ, as the plate adds extra height and width. No matter, it feels and looks right on my otherwise basic aluminum sink. I would buy again and have no issues except one - which goes with most new faucets I've looked at: There is no visible indicator on the faucet handle of hot or cold (such as a red or blue dot). Would it be that hard for Kohler and others to make this standard? Since you can mount the handle in different directions it would help. Further, for those of us who have different faucets in different kitchens and houses with different people using them, it would be one less thing to think about when needing hot or cold. It's a minor quibble but not unlike indicating which side of your car the gas tank is on. Since the unit is black it may be tougher for me to "add something" like I did on my last chrome faucet (I used a permanent marker to place red and blue dots identifying temperature direction). Finally, the handle itself only moves left/right about 40 degrees - not 90 like some other units. I don't care - the handle feels great the the temp variation is well controlled. Buy with no fear or regret. If I run into any issues I'll post it here as an update!

El producto perfectamente con lo que anuncia. Excelente calidad y acabado

It is difficult to control the water flow. It wants to be off or full power on. I find myself splashing water all over when I'm trying to rinse a small container. It is difficult to get a small stream of water. This is a small complaint and I'm sure I'll get used to it. I give it 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations for function, installation ease, looks and overall quality.

Got this for my home renovation and sitting in my storage as I could not install it without a specific reducer that cannot be bought online... and cannot be found in the UAE or Europe. I discovered this too late from my contractor and cannot return it 😭

Awesome tap, does everything well and smoothly and looks great with the new square sink it sits on. I like the way the spray feature works and it works well, the handle operation is so smooth it's fun to use. Some taps are difficult to figure out how they work but this one is simple -pull the lever towards you for cold and away from you for hot. It's typical Kohler that you get what you pay for but in this case it was a really good deal, would definitely buy it again. Update: had the faucet for 5 years now and there is a major design flaw but it only shows up after constant use. The spray hose developed a leak because of the badly designed counter weight which slides up and down it creating a hole and the “quik connect” broke trying to get the hose off to replace it so now the tap is useless. I would expect a better design from Kohler, would not buy this facet again
