Dishmaster M76XLBK Imperial Four XL, Black

I’m a pretty handy person who prefers to read about how to do something versus watching a video. Nevertheless, installing this faucet was a royal pain. The instructions were written out long form without any helpful illustrations and tons of technical jargon. I eventually figured it all out. Its a beautiful faucet, and I am happy it is still available. However, one big negative is the valves. I expected ceramic quarter turn valves, not compression. Having to change washers for inevitable drips… Uggh.

Dishmaster M76XL Imperial Four XL, Chrome

What a find! Thanks so much!

I discovered Dishmaster through some of my MCM groups as the classic style is the perfect aesthetic for homes from the 40s through 60s. Once I looked into what it WAS I knew it would be the perfect thing for our home as my mother with dementia is beginning to have more troubles cleaning up after meals (I cook, she cleans! Ha Ha!)

It's so nice getting rid of the bottle of soap on the counter top, and no more wasting of soap by my mom! Economical AND Earth Friendly! It makes cleaning up such a breeze, and the plumbers who came to install it both want one now!

Having the built-dish scraper in the brush head makes tackling burned on messes a breeze, and the soap on demand button is so cool!

For those wanting less of a retro look, they have more "modern" looking faucet styles as well.

I am so happy with this purchase, and hopefully will have this faucet for years to come!

Dishmasters have been utilized by my family for over 60 years. I completely remodeled my kitchen 10 years ago and invested in a modern faucet set. When it needed replacing, I went back to the Dishmaster Imperial 4 and I'm glad I did! Tried and true performer which saves a lot of time in the kitchen.

Goes great in our kitchen. Works wonderful.

I recently redid my kitchen and upgraded to a single stalk faucet purchased from a national home repair chain. It was pretty, and the design was cool with the sprayer built in the faucet. However, the small plastic pipes that carried the water were no bigger and a straw. So often my water would just trickle. Can you imagine trying to clean your tea pitcher with trickling water. Ugh! I had to figure out what to do. Then I came across the Dishmaster. I think I saw it on a Facebook site that specialized in mid-century stuff. It hit me like lightning. I remembered my best friend from Junior High, Terry, his family had one of these, in the early 70s. Best of all, the water pipes were separate, so they were the size of a dime, as opposed to a straw, so getting a good supply of water was no problem. I found the website, call the company, and they were very helpful. I bought the best one, Imperial in white, installed it myself. I had to do it four times, but it was just because I was not versed in installation. But I knew immediately what I did wrong. I love it. It makes cleaning a breeze. There's also a quality feel about it. the insides are not plastic, they are steel or metal. And of course the styling. It's a style of it's own. Reminds one of their childhood, but it's different, because it adapted with the times. I have shown my new faucet to all of my friends and they are impressed. If I had to offer a suggestion, the installation instructions used a lot of terms I just wasn't familiar with. I couldn't follow it. So I just installed it without consulting all of the individual steps. This caused some anxiety, but it worked out in the end. Perhaps an appendix is necessary to describe what each part is would help, or just note the name of the part where it's on the diagram.

We bought our home in 2000, when it was already 50 years old. After working hard to pay it off in 2018, we started doing some much needed updates, but made sure they were in keeping with the age and style of our home. We have a 1951 Chambers stove ("Gladys Grace") and I started researching other features to complement Gladys Grace. I learned about the Dishmaster through the Retro Renovation blog and somewhere in my oldest memories, I'm pretty sure my grandmother had one of these when I was a kid. Decided to go for it -- and we love it! We love how it looks and how it works. A couple of thoughts after having it a year -- we ordered the chrome, and while a wipe down minimizes water spots, they are still a bit of a challenge, but part of that is probably because we are on a water well. I love how it's possible to order replacement parts, and I'm thinking about ordering a white cover and faucet handles to switch out, because that may help make those faint water spots less noticeable. I also need to order a longer hose for the brush handle because the size of our sink and the placement of the holes prevents reaching the left side of the sink with the brush (for fully rinsing the sink after scrubbing it). These are just customization choices that are personal preference and have nothing to do with how truly AWESOME our Dishmaster is!

My wife and I love it! Perfect for that 1950’s, 60’s kitchen!

Number one, we purchased this to match our “mid century “ home and decor. Installation was easy and straightforward. Installation manual is NOT IKEA, please read and understand the terminology of the parts etc! (I am a aircraft mechanic by trade so I am quite aware of this!) Functioned smoothly and the brush / soap option is outstanding! We love the history and quality of this product!! And customer service is over the top! Thank You!!

I have had Dishmaster faucets off and on for years. The look is pretty retro, but the functionality is awesome. It saves me time and water. Our plumber had never heard of Dishmaster and was a little skeptical about installing it, but I told him it was a major plus for us.

Really looks awesome and functions well. The water control knobs have a nice tactile feel to them. No regrets, even though my contractor asked me 37 times “are you SURE you want me to punch 4 holes in your expensive new counter for this?” Yes, I was sure and still am. Few small gripes: the brush part is kinda cheap looking; I’d gladly pay extra for an upgraded piece with some chrome on it and a steel braided line. I’ve got mine mounted through the counter and therefore made the black bracket on top of the unit redundant - wish there was some way of eliminating it without leaving a hole on top. In the same thread, I wish the black plastic cover for the soap tank was chrome to match the rest of the unit. Regardless, I’d buy it again. Everyone who has seen it loves it and it does work great.

we love it, very handy to use, don't think we could live with out one now. I wish I would have bought one sooner.

Love the faucet! Very well made. The support the company gives is wonderful as well. An awesome addition to our kitchen.

This is a bad design. The chromed plastic is constantly covered in water stains. The open back allows all kinds of garbage to accumulate with no way to clean unless the the faucet is uninstalled. The strayer only works if the water is on and the pressure is strong enough so it takes two hands!
I am so sorry I wasted my money on this!! Do not buy it.

This is our third Dishmaster and we wouldn’t be without it. With it we were able to replace our dishwasher with much needed cabinets.

Cuts washing dishes by hand in half, and looks awesome in the kitchen too!

The faucet was easy to install and great to use. The only thing I was disappointed in was the "chrome" parts were plastic, including the knobs. I didn't see that in the description.

I am 63 years old and have had Dishmasters most of my life. I am building a new house and wouldn't be caught without one. All the contractors working in the house want to know what they are because they have never seen them.

Dishmaster has been part of my family since 1957. It came with the house my parents bought and we have replaced as needed ever since, I own the house and would not be without it. No more dish rag washing dishes and pots and pans. I called a few times to ask questions and they are always pleasant and full of guidance for whatever your need is. If you haven’t tried one, please do. You won’t be disappointed.

Great service and product.

Love it. Used Dishmasters since the 1950s when I was a child

Reason for choosing these faucets - American made and the retro styling. The look is exquisite! We are just finishing up our kitchen renovation/addition and I am looking forward to using this faucet on a daily basis! Installed the second one in our rental property. Wonderful quality. wonderful look. Thank you for making a great product.
Blessings,
Denise

Got it, installed it, using it. It is great as usual. This is our 2nd one. We left the first one where we used to live and it was still working great.
Thanks for a great product.
God Bless.

Install was more difficult than your average big box store faucet, but once your done its great. Interestingly enough it matches my 1968 frigidaire imperial flair wall oven so well its like they came as a set. One of the best features is to have someone who have never seen one stand in front of the faucet with the water on and the brush attachment pointed at them, then you tell them to pull up the black knob, funny everytime. Well, except the time I did it to myself.

I love this thing. Great looks, really well built, and fast service with really friendly people. My only problem was the little copper tube wasn't formed correctly and missed the hole. Wasn't a problem for me but could see where it might be for someone else. But again, very happy with the product and the service. Thanks for a quality piece.

M76xl use it every time. The look works in my kitchen. I have been plumbing a long time and like the simple washer and seat design. And l like they have been around so long .
