Does anyone have experience with ShieldSpray

8 years ago

Delta has a new feature called ShieldSpray that is available on one faucet now and will be in several others starting in January 2018. The concept is that it has a strong skinny steam for powering food off dishes, and that spray is surrounded by a bell shaped easy spray that keeps splash back contained, so that you don't get splash back on yourself. Sounds amazing and I want this feature but does this really work well in a practical way? The short demo video on you tube (https://youtu.be/ZlAB9WjiKnQ) does not really demonstrate it in a real setting. Has anyone actually seen this in action? I need to choose a faucet in the next month and I am curious.

I've been looking at this also. Ran into a delta rep at local big box store who says it will be a few more months before any other styles are available. He didn't have any first-hand knowledge about using them. I really hope it works because my current spray is like taking a shower! He did say I could return it if not satisfied. Hopefully somebody who actually has one will reply to your post. Good luck!

I too would love to have an answer to this question!

For anyone finding this thread for research purposes, Amazon has thousands of reviews by 2019 on Delta faucets that incorporate the ShieldSpray technology, and for the most part, complaints center around the other workmanship of the faucet failing in as few as six months from installation despite faucet cost of several hundred dollars. One review I saw complained about splashing from the ShieldSpray. Most other reviews are neutral about the splash factor meaning ShieldSpray may not be as tremendous an innovation as Delta claims.

I've generally not seen incredibly positive reviews about Delta as a whole. Moen tends to bring in more positives, but it varies based on the style. We did go with Delta brass faucets for our bathrooms and have been totally happy with them for 2 years, but they were solid brass and cost considerably more than the average Delta bathroom faucet, though not as much as some of the ShieldSpray kitchen faucets. For my kitchen renovation, I had considered ShieldSpray technology but am turned off by the complaints of quality of the faucets in general that incorporate this. Instead, I am going to look at California Faucets or Waterstone in addition to several other brands I've seen on display. Newport Brass is another one. I like the smooth pull action of these brands for the retractable sprayer head, and most of these upper-tier faucet manufacturers stand by their products with a long warranty.

Update: I selected Brizo articulating faucets for my kitchen remodel in the end and have been very pleased with the quality. Brizo is a division of Delta.

I just replaced a kitchen faucet in our current home with a Delta SprayShield about a month or so ago, and when we move in a few months I will miss it. I like it a lot. Our new home is nearing completion, and although I already have Brizo Artessa faucets on hand for the 2 kitchen sinks, I would have considered returning them if Brizo offered a similar style and finish with SprayShield, but it’s not available on anything Brizo, as far as I can tell.
