The Hansgrohe Lacuna is a high-quality faucet, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for every home.

In this buying guide, we’ll go over all the features of this pull-down sprayer kitchen faucet to help you decide if it’s right for your home. We’ll talk about the overall design, the spray head, the faucet’s durability, and the installation process. 

By the time we’re done, you’ll know everything you need to about this kitchen faucet. And with that information in mind, you should have no problem determining if the Hansgrohe Lacuna is a good fit. 

Let’s dive right in. 

Overall Design

Hansgrohe Lacuna Pull Down Kitchen Faucet

The Hansgrohe Lacuna is a high arc kitchen faucet with a 360-degree swivel spout.

This single-handle kitchen faucet has an elegant, modern design. From the base, it tapers in to create a slender curve at the top of the faucet, before broadening back out towards the sprayer at the end of the spout. 

It has a 180-degree swivel spout, which adds versatility. It can also be mounted so that the single handle rotates forward only, so you can mount it close to the wall without it hitting your backsplash.

The Hansgrohe Lacuna Pull Down Kitchen Faucet has a 1.7 GPM flow rate. This low flow rate should help conserve water, but some users report that the water pressure is too low. 

Many buyers opted to remove the flow restrictors in order to increase water flow. However, always be careful before doing this sort of thing as it may void the manufacturer or seller’s warranty. 

The Hansgrohe Lacuna faucet is available in Steel Optik and Chrome finishes. Both are PVD finishes. 

It also comes with a matching soap dispenser.

Sprayer

As for the sprayer itself, this faucet has a pull-down spray head. It uses a magnetic docking system to hold that spray head securely in place when it’s not being used.

That prevents the sagging that you can see from some other pull-down faucets, especially over time. 

It has two spray modes, an aerated spray, and a needle rinse spray. It also has a pause feature that allows you to temporarily stop the flow of water as needed by pressing and holding a button on the sprayer. 

Another handy feature of the sprayer is the QuickClean spray face. It has rubber nozzles, which make it easy to wipe the spray face clean of build-up and other messes.

They also prevent corrosion from forming on the spray face. 

Durability

Durability

The Hansgrohe Lacuna Pull Down Kitchen Faucet should offer you good durability, too. 

The brass body makes the faucet heavy-duty enough to handle frequent use. Brass stands up to wear and tear better than other materials and it’s also more corrosion resistant.

It can also handle hotter water than other faucet materials without becoming damaged.

This faucet also features a ceramic cartridge. Ceramic is harder than other cartridge materials, like rubber or plastic, making it more resistant to wear.

Unlike metal, ceramic won’t corrode. It’s also resistant to both hot and cold water.

This guarantees leak-free operation for years to come.

And in addition to the durability benefits, ceramic cartridges also make the handle smoother and easier to operate.

In addition to the brass construction and ceramic cartridge, the Hansgrohe Lacuna also has a bolitc lever lock on the handle, which ensures that the handle doesn’t loosen with repeated use. 

Finally, to top it all off, Hansgrohe provides a limited lifetime warranty for the Lacuna Pull Down Kitchen Faucet, so you’re covered if you do have some sort of problem.

Installation

Installation

The Hansgrohe Lacuna is a single-hole kitchen faucet. However, it comes with a 10-inch base plate to cover any existing extra holes if you’re replacing a two or three-hole faucet.

You can also use the included matching soap dispenser to use up an extra hole in your countertop from a previous faucet. 

The actual installation process should be pretty easy and straightforward, and most homeowners should be able to DIY it without any problem. It comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and, as well as supply lines. 

The hot and cold water connection hoses are flexible. This allows you to easily bend the connection hoses for more convenient installation, even in smaller, more cramped cabinet spaces.
