Grohe 36466000 Baucosmopolitan E Touchless Electronic Faucet with Temperature Control Lever, Battery-Powered

I received the faucet and reviewed the contents of the box. It then occured to me that the sink where my old leaky manual faucet was mounted has 3 holes to mate with the new faucet (which only needs 1 hole). After talking to multiple large home improvement stores and several hardware and plumbing stores, I determined that none of them stocked the required additional cover plate that would have been included in the box had I ordered the correct version of the new faucet. The ones who could get it said that I could expect to pay $25 to $50 to special order the part.I spent about a half hour pulling my hair out trying to think of an acceptable alternative. I had to give that up when I noticed that I had run out of hair to pull out. So, I did the thing that I had promised never to do and asked my wife if she had any ideas.She looked up from her computer and asked, “Have you checked Amazon?”Half a day later I was lovingly fondling the universal plate that I had purchased on Amazon for $7 and same day delivery.From there onward, it was simple!I followed the included directions with detail graphics and easily installed the new no touch faucet.It operates quietly and I used a bit less water than the old faucet.This one comes with a lithium battery to operate the valve inside the faucet. The literature promises long uninterrupted service (years if I remember correctly).It works like a dream and everyone in the house had a sudden urge to wash their hands multiple times that evening for no particular reason.Watch out COVID-19! No one at our house will be an easy target!I am quite happy with the purchase and will do it again at any sign of a leaking faucet in the other bathroom. But, I will be careful to select the faucet with an included cover plate.
