Rated 5 out of5 byPJ20 fromVery easy to installI replaced my old bathroom faucet with this Delta "Albion" (in chrome). The installation probably took me no more than10 minutes, literally, and I'm a 60+ senior woman with only very basic plumbing skills - meaning, I know how to do a basic faucet install. There's nothing to it ladies. Anyone who can turn a wrench can install this. It isn't technically hard at all, no skills needed other than using a small wrench to connect the water lines and tighten the faucet to the sink. Simple.That said, it took me a good two hours and every tool in the house to remove the 20 year old faucet and drain assembly. I had trouble getting one of the water lines loose, had to scrape the old putty away from where the deck plate and drain was, clean out the P-trap while I was at it, remove the old drain, etc., but that's expected anytime you're dealing with old fixtures. Plus, I don't have strength like I used to, and my husband couldn't fit in this 17" cabinet. As an FYI, for removing the old faucet, I needed a flat paint scraper, rags/cleaner/towel/bucket, a pair of channel locks of all things to remove one of the plastic nuts under the old faucet that held it to the sink, a "faucet change out tool" to get the frozen water line nut loose from the faucet (I couldn't have done it without that tool), and an adjustable or crescent wrench for unscrewing the water lines at the shut off. So, plan accordingly if you're removing an old faucet.A new installation would take minutes, literally.I watched a couple of YouTube videos to see how to do the pop-up drain assembly; the instructions that come with the faucet are pretty clear and easy to follow, but of course there's nothing in there about removing the old drain. I'm glad I did, and it made the process easy, giving me some idea of what to expect in removing the old drain. It wasn't difficult at all and it came right out. Delta should do short videos like this. People who can't afford a plumber might be more inclined to replace their fixtures when they see how easy it is.I have a 20 year old 3-hole sink, but there was no problem since a deck plate is provided that covers the holes perfectly. My small sink also has no overflow hole. If yours does, apparently you need to line up the hole in the drain tube in the direction of the overflow hole in your sink (?). I didn't see anything about that in the instructions, so watch a video to see if that applies to you.For the actual installation, I passed the water lines down through the center hole and deck plate, used the tool that comes with it to screw the nut onto the threaded 'stem' and metal plate that secures the faucet to the sink (tool provided), and screwed the water lines on. It was that simple. I did use a few dabs of silicone grease as instructed on the threads of the drain pipe and black gasket, and silicone sealant on the underside of the grey flange that sits on top of the drain hole. Other than that, the instructions didn't call for any plumber's putty under the deck plate, so I didn't use any. They have a small gasket on the underside, so it seems the putty isn't needed; I have no leaks anywhere after a few days of use.I installed the faucet before installing the new drain pipe so that it wouldn't be in the way. Wise decision. And fortunately, the p-trap lined up perfectly when reconnecting it. The new drain line was the same length and size as my 20 year old one.I believe the faucet calls for a 2" space behind it, but I don't know why. You can see in one of the photos that I have almost no clearance at all on the backside of the faucet, maybe <1/4". The handle pulls to the side/right and rotates toward you, not towards the back, so almost zero clearance isn't an issue that I can see. Plus, the drain is a pop-up. There's no stem on the back that pulls up to close the drain (I guess that's why all these faucets call for 2"+ clearance, for that drain 'stem' thing?). I've never had a pop up drain before, but it makes installation easy not having to deal with the old school type drain. It works well and holds the water in the sink.The water flow is great, the faucet looks good even on this old, tiny vanity, and it's simple to install. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but if you need a nice looking faucet with easy installation and the Delta reputation, you can't go wrong here. My husband, who doesn't care for single handle faucets, liked this one so well I'm seriously considering replacing my old master bath sink faucet with this model.(*I received this faucet 'free' as an Amazon Vine Voice, in exchange for an honest review)

Rated 5 out of5 bygperosales30 fromGreat productThis was nice to get. Everything you need to put in a sink in your bathroom. The faucet has a smooth action. The Heavy construction easies my worries of it giving me problems anytime soon. The style blended in with my restroom decor nicely. It was easily installed and came with the drain,it’s a push close drain plug,although it is nice but you have to put your finger in the dirty water to push the drain to open,but overall it is very nice and I’m happy with it

Rated 4 out of5 byindianas4 fromBeautiful simple designWonderful simple design! The single knob is life changing and the finish makes it easy to clean. The only negative is that I was not able to install the drain part since it goes straight down and my sink has drawers and the current setup has a bent pipe to accommodate it. The water pressure is not strong but I believe I need to open up the valve all the way, but overall very pleased with this faucet!

Rated 5 out of5 byteric13c fromBeautiful design!This faucet is absolutely beautiful. It was super easy for my husband to install and it has great water pressure. It was the finishing touch in our remodeled laundry room where we added a sink and countertop. The design and brushed nickel finish are gorgeous!

Rated 5 out of5 byvalb10 fromGreat faucetI’m very impressed with the Albion Single Handle Bathroom Faucet. It was easy to install and looks great. The faucet was packed very nicely and also came in a cloth bag to orotect the finish. The water pressure is perfect. Having on handle to control the water is a nice change. If you’re in the market for a new bathroom faucet, I would highly recommend this one. It looks high end, but can be purchased on a budget. The quality is impecable.
