Ok, now imagine someone who doesn't know anything about electricity uses 100W bulbs instead of the CFLs. 1000W out of the original socket (probably rated 660W or something like that).

Besides, weight seems to be a serious issue there.

And don't even talk about looks...

Let's see how Price Pfister responds to my warranty complaint.

That is what you get for getting a Black & Decker product (AKA Bleak & Dorker)The purveyor of junk such as DeWalt,Porter-Cable, Delta Machinery, Kiwkset,Price-Pfister etc. ... Some of those already were junk when B&D bought them, others such as Porter-Cable, DeWalt were reduced to garbage by B&D. BTW, B&D is being acquired by Stanley.

I may have had this before B&D bought them. When I first bought it the customer service was very good, sending me a "prototype" cartridge "for well systems" that would give me the government mandated 3 GPM at 40 PSI. I suspect it was just the Canadian cartridge. It did have bigger ports.

Just a quick update. Price Pfister sent me a whole new faucet on the warranty. Not too shabby.
