Review: Price Pfister Faucet
Price Pfister has been making stylish, dependable faucets since 1910. They offer affordable products that stand up to everyday use and they provide a quality guarantee to back it up. Price Pfister was kind enough to send us their Hanover Kitchen Faucet. It’s available in several configurations and styles. My experience is with the stainless steel, two-hole configuration. Read on to learn more about this faucet and where it can be purchased.
Where to Buy the Price Pfister Hanover Kitchen Faucet

Price Pfister Hanover Faucet Review
Faucet features
The first thing that impressed me about this faucet are the features. Today’s kitchen faucets can have lots of different features, but here are a few I consider essential.
- Pull-Down spray – This basically integrates the side sprayer into the faucet itself. It makes it possible to easily direct the flow of water, and maneuver your faucet as needed. This faucet has a generous hose length allowing you to reach well beyond the sink.
- Spray selector – Modern faucets allow you to choose between a sprayer and an aerated stream. This enables you to wash those fresh tomatoes with a gentler aerated stream and blast away baked-on lasagna, all with the touch of a button.
- Water flow control – While I don’t consider this a must-have feature, it’s still very nice. The spray head has a slider that allows you to control the flow of water. You can quickly go from a trickle to a full stream. Plus, this feature saves water because you’ll only use as much as you need.
Faucet valve
The type of valve is an important consideration when choosing a kitchen faucet. A quality valve will ensure your faucet functions properly for a long time. There are four major valve types and the best two are ceramic disk and cartridge. Both of these valve types are very reliable, and the Hanover faucet features a cartridge valve. If something does go awry, Price Pfister made it easy to replace.
Assembly
You don’t need to be a professional plumber to install this faucet. Assembly is very straight-forward; the directions include great diagrams, supply lines are color coded, and Price Pfister incorporates Quick Connectors for an easy install.
Styling
I mentioned earlier that this faucet is available in several different configurations and styles. I’m a big fan of stainless steel but it’s also available in Tuscan Bronze. Either way, this faucet has a tall body making it easy to fit pots, pans, and babies under. The controls are different but easy to learn. Rotating the handle out (away from the faucet body) turns on the water. The front is cold water and the back is hot.
What do you think? What’s your experience with this faucet?

My parents just put one of these in their kitchen and it’s pretty great. First time users are a little confused about how to turn it on and adjust the water temp, but quickly catch on.

I installed the same faucet 3-4 months ago, although I picked the tuscan bronze finish. We have hard water, and use a softener, but after 3-4 months the deck plate is shot. The finish is peeling off and it is stained with water spots. The finish from the bottom 1/4 inch of the actual faucet has also been eaten away by minerals. I think all of this is due to water left sitting on the plate and water dripping down the faucet while it’s in use. The goose neck, sprayer, on/off knob and soap dispenser are all doing fine. The hose works great and I love it. I don’t know if I’d buy another Price Pfister though due to the problems with the finish. I called PP and they sent out a new deck plate to me (under warranty), but the actual faucet isn’t covered by this problem. Maybe the tuscan bronze color is more susceptible to mineral deposits?
