(More customer reviews)Just had the faucet installed today (Sept 15) I connected the wires and batteries in five minutes. Turned it on and water came out. Touched the top of the faucet and the water flow stopped. Touched the faucet again and the water started flowing again. It's big, I mean very big. It's much bigger than I thought it would be. Man, this faucet is BIG. I like new toys, and this is a toy that I will play with all night. Other reviewer had problems, so I'll be watching closely.
So far so good, it even matches the granite counter top we got. (New kitchen)
Oh yah, shipping was next day as well, paid a little more but I got this sucker when I needed it.
Update: Two days later:
Water leak under the sink, coming from the solenoid. Not good, might be a bad solenoid or poor install. No touch 2 go feature, no water. Can't risk water damage to my new cabinets. I still like the faucet, plumber is coming back tomorrow. If he can't fix the leak, I'll buy another one and have another plumber install the solenoid, if I can't do it myself.
I will reserve final judgment for now. word of advice: Keep checking under the sink for leaks.
Update 2:
Traced the water leak to a pipe joint, The touch feature worked for another day then stopped completely. Sent an email to Delta and they will be sending out a replacement solenoid. And I don't have to send anything back to them.
Update: Sept 20th
It's broken. Touch 2 Go is gone. Now it's a matter of if Delta will replace it.
Update: Nov 21, 2009
After posting my first review someone had an issue with it being posted too early after installation and thought that the feature is not needed. I can report that the touch 2 go feature is still working. I think it's a great feature. Instant on and off, at full flow, I discovered that when I want '4 cups' of water in my coffee pot, the touch 2 go shuts offs the water flow at the right time with a simple tap.
It's the little things that makes life better. Update: December 4th 2009
Still working, just like in the video. It may not be the norm, but what do I care? Tap on, tap off. Ha Ha, the little blue led still works too. (just a small joke)
Feb 1, 2010.
Still working, by working I mean, I can tap the faucet or tap and the water flow either stops or starts. Just like the video clip.

Touch 2 0 Technology Prevents the Spread of Bacteria and Saves MoneyWith Pilar's Touch 2 0 Technology, it doesn't matter if your hands are full of dishes or if you're up to your elbows in cake batter--just use your wrist or forearm to tap anywhere on the faucet's spout or handle to stop and start the flow of water.
This smart technology can help prevent the spread of bacteria in your kitchen. If you've been working with raw foods and your hands are a mess, you can just tap the faucet with your forearm, wash your hands, and keep your surfaces--including your faucet!--as clean and safe as possible.
The faucet will also help you conserve water and save money. As you prepare food or wash up in the sink, just tap the faucet to keep water from running when you don't need it; touch it again to start the water flowing. Eco-friendly, the Pilar features a flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute at 60 psi, 8.3 liters per minute at 414 kPa.
Intelligent Design Fuses Technology and NatureInspired by natural beauty and aided by innovative technology, the Pilar will complement any kitchen. In place of two standard hot and cold handles, Pilar features a single, sleek, easy-to-use handle. Simple right-to-left movement of the handle adjusts water temperature, while up-and-down movement adjusts flow rate. A ready-to-install chrome soap dispenser completes the faucet's sleek design, enhancing usability and keeping your kitchen countertop tidy and clutter-free.
The Pilar's pull-down wand has a swivel range of 360 degrees as well as a toggle push button that allows you to choose between aerated spray and stream modes. An added bonus, the wand head is equipped with Touch-Clean: soft, rubber nubbins that allow you to wipe away calcium and lime buildup with the touch of a finger. Additionally, the wand's 59-inch hose ensures that every corner of your sink will stay clean. For ease of use, the hose is fed by gravity, extending and retracting without friction points.
Delta's MagnaTite docking keeps the Pilar's wand in place with a powerful magnet, so the wand stays right where it should, and your sink stays neat and tidy. As you raise the wand to dock it, the magnet embedded in the spout will pull the wand precisely into place; the wand comes free with a gentle tug.
