Our Review:
Functionality:
The faucet comes with superior features that promote maximum functionality. If you extend the spray wand, you can easily clean up kitchen waste in the sink from close quarters. Also, the high arc sprout allows for backward cleaning support, which helps in cleaning the entire sink area. I did find the installation a bit irksome and had it not been for my years of experience with DIY plumbing, I probably would have failed to get this faucet installed. So you may need a plumber if you aren’t that great at DIY tasks.
Style:
The Delta 9178-SS-DST is available in five different styles of which three are of particular interest for their similar functionality and yet unique design. I would never have imagined that a simple change in finishing can alter the way a faucet looks. Available in total of three styles namely stainless steel, venetian bronze and arctic silver.
Durability:
The faucet is made from high quality bronze that will ensure maximum reliability. Expect a long service period from this faucet. For starters, the valves are made of high quality diamond seal, which prevents water from contact with contaminants. So, if you are bothered about the rusted valves, this product greatly avoids it thanks to the use of superior technology. From what I have heard online, this particular faucet can last an eternity without any damage.

Extra Features:
The product packs some superior features that are rare in a faucet. You can shift between the spray mode and single stream mode with ease, thereby, allowing greater convenience. When you want to rinse a pot or pan use the spray mode and to fill up pots the single stream works best. However, what excites me the most is its backward functionality. With the help of its complete 360-degree swivel you can increase access to clean up the entire sink area. On a side note, the faucet is also ADA compliant!

A small call to their customer service number revealed that while the warranty is for 5 years and offers free replacement, any additional charges including labor charges, damage incurred during installation and repairs will be treated as per the prevailing fares at the time.
Conclusion:
Delta 9178-SS-DST is a high end faucet that comes with superior technological upgrades. With some of the best features including single hand control, 360 degree swivel rotation and diamond seal valve, you can expect greater ease in usage and a durable faucet for their kitchen. At the price it retails for, with the brand name of Delta, I think it is a decent investment.
