Kohler Forte Faucet Review

We purchased the Kohler Forté faucet in brushed nickel (K-10413-BN) to replace our kitchen faucet that was a Kohler Fairfax faucet that was polished chrome with polished brass accents (K-12171-CB).  That faucet was very well-built, but we decided to update our kitchen and so the faucet with the brass accepts was removed and moved to the basement laundry tub.  The look and design of the Forté is great and just replacing the faucet made a big difference in overall look and feel of the kitchen.  Kohler faucets are well-built, heavy, and quite durable.  However, it did start leaking around the 2.5 year mark, but Kohler made good on their Lifetime Warranty and sent out the replacement parts (ring kit and cartridge) right away.  The repairs were easy and the faucet was fully operational again in no time.  Kohler makes some really attractive products and stands behind its warranty.

We like the design of the Forté kitchen faucet so much that we also purchased Kohler Forté lavatory faucet in polished chrome (K-10270-4) for the main half bathroom on the main floor.  It too is an elegantly designed faucet, easy to install, and has had no issues thusfar.

Overall I am very pleased with Kohler faucets and highly recommend them to anybody considering a new/replacement kitchen and/or bathroom faucet.
