I've been looking at this to replace my soap dispenser we never use and finally impulse bought it. As long as you have a hole already drilled in your counter top, this is the easiest thing I've ever installed in my house. Yes, you do need to do some work under the sink but all the parts you need are included and the only tool I used was a wrench. I installed it, by my myself, in 30 min! It is so fun to rinse a glass now. We formula fed our daughter and I really wish we had this when we were going through the slog of daily bottle washing. I did spring for the metal version over plastic but I think I could have gone with the plastic one after using this a few times. The finish is slightly different on this vs our faucet (delta vs kohler) but it doesn't bother us and we hope it will age just slightly. Stop reading review and just buy it.sure there are some cheaper versions of this floating around... but you get what you pay for. The DELTA branded one is well built. I originally backed this faucet on their Kickstarter several years ago, and the unit at that time was a plastic one. It was ok, I never had any trouble with it, but I am glad that they opted for a metal design in the main production model. You won't be disappointed.For best results, connect the washer to an RO system or under-sink filter system. That will give you the cleanest water so your glasses dont have spots when they dry.What started out as a joke of wanting a fancy whiskey tumbler bar washer became an easy install 3 weeks before we had our second baby because we realized we were planning on exclusively bottle feeding our baby and it would make bottle washing so easy. And wow it has. The install took my husband less than an hour and the water pressure / distribution is great. Rinses bottles out so fast and evenly. I wish we had gotten it sooner.I found out about this bottle rinser when replacing our Delta Leland kitchen faucet, and from Tik Tok. I've seen these style rinsers in cafe's as well, where they're used to wash out steam pitchers. We have 3 small kids in the house, so this gets a lot of use. Works well with insulated stainless steel water bottles that have a very skinny neck. Some of our coffee cups are a bit too big to fit.It's most effective if you use it right away, you don't even need soap then. If whatever's in the cup has been sitting for a while, best to use some soap. Even then, still faster and less mess than trying to use the sprayer on our kitchen faucet.We got the stainless version (the cheaper SpotShield stainless is plastic, I believe, we got a real metal one). I wish it was a bit cheaper. The stainless one is very hefty, and solid metal (except for the black plastic bits). This makes it easy to clean (you can just pop the black plastic bit off for easy access to everything). The metal cover that comes with it is a much thinner, cheaper metal (looks fine, just not as heavy, we never use it anyway). Color-wise, it's not an exact match to our Delta SpotShield Stainless faucet, it's much shinier and probably closer match to Delta's Arctic Stainless (which is bluer) or their normal Stainless maybe. But after a few weeks of use, it's hard to tell the difference anymore (the faucet in the photo is our Delta SpotShield Stainless one).Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase, just wish we'd bought it sooner when we were rinsing so many baby bottles every day!Sturdy product, doesn’t seem like it should be so pricey though. I was happy that it fit my pint glasses… but a little sad that my bigger coffee mugs won’t fit. Should be just a tad larger.We love this drink rinser so much. It is easily the most-used appliance in our house, and the most-loved item by visitors. It was installed by our plumber who said it was an easy hook up. It was especially helpful right after our move to quickly rinse out cups before putting them away. But we find ourselves using it for everything, from champagne glasses to baby bottles. If we want a cleaner rinse on a glass we’re reusing, we put a drop of dish soap in the bottom and it’s as good as new! Would recommend to literally everyone and will never go without one again!I ordered the metal version and the lid/cap that came with it was plastic and kind of disappointing considering I paid twice as much for the metal base. It just made it feel kind of cheap. That's really the only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars.I had to get a converter since my sinks plumbing was a different size, but that was expected. Just a note for anyone buying this. Install was really simple.It works really well in the end so I'm pretty happy. I just wish the lid was the same material as the base.Pros - easy to install, solid metal (GR-250 is solid metal, people complaining that this is plastic have the GR-150, which is around $100 less expensive), works well if your glasses fit.Cons - it’s smaller than it looks, the opening is too small for standard size Boston shakers or mixing glasses (see photos). I was hoping to use it to quickly rinse shakers while making drinks, but unfortunately none fit. Looking at the specifications, the maximum width is around 3.5”. If this were just a 1/2”-1” wider, it would be perfect.before getting the Delta version, i got a crappy no name replica for $20. it looked fine when it arrived in the mail but after installing it thats when all the issues started to prop up - it was leaking in the middle from every time i would rinse.a cup and the water would pool on the dish/catchment area and not run off into the sink. The water leaked into my kitchen cabinets and literally flooded it.Being super angry about the dupe product i decided to 'buy the real thing' and was deciding if i should the all metal version (save the hassle) - turns out to be the best decision ever. installation was a breeze and it was no nonsense quality from the get go. works like a charm.Water pressure is not as strong as i thought it to be - plumber says its because of the pressure from the taps in our apartment, but it does the job well. No leaks, no pooling.Price is steep for sure, and Im not sure if its value for money especially when the rinser press piece is plastic which is a bummer, but lets see how long it last. so the absence of the 5 star review is due to price alone.So far, im much happier that i have a proper one then that crappy $20 version.Not the metal rinser. The cheap plastic one. Expensive label stuck over the cheap barcode
