You can change the trim to work with both fixtures in the mode.

You can change the finish to use both devices at the same time (e.g. you have a hand shower and a rain shower head or a rain shower and a bath spout). This design limits the amount of water, so the water pressure is limited if you want to use both devices at the same time.

Pros
  • 1 year trial version
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Details in my picture were missing.

I only noticed when the return period was closed. Revain offered no way of contacting her about the issue. I bought this before I started the project and didn't realize what wasn't there until it was too late. I wouldn't give that one star as the product looks good but I don't know how to get the missing parts.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Missing part! 2 stars!

Hansgrohe have a solid name and they make really great products but this one was missing 1 screw which required a large bar to be drilled in its place and I was about to return it! Luckily my friend had a screw of exactly the same size, just a bit longer than the original, after a bit of filing at the tip everything went smoothly. 2 stars for the inconvenience caused by Hansgrohe.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoors
Cons
  • Modern

Poorly designed control knobs

Very disappointed with this faucet. The control knobs are poorly designed and require the use of small screws for attachment. Both buttons are loose and wobbly as other reviewers have noted. Unfortunately I installed the faucet about a month ago and now I can't return it. I have bought several Hansgrohe products in the past but will not buy another Hansgrohe product in the future based on this recent experience.

Pros
  • Price

Looks good, the cartridge design is unreliable.

In less than 2 weeks, the cartridge does not turn off or the water stops flowing. Installed in a custom shower room it would be terrible to replace the rough box at this point. Use a different MFP. updated. The cartridge is Delta's usual generic style for this model. Easily accessible, but it still fell out quickly. I really like the water feet in this rough box. It was great to be able to isolate this shower from the rest of the house while I found the cartridge between trips!

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Repair

After 5 years of use.

My faucet started dripping after 5 years of use. I tried to fix the problem but it was basically impossible to align the old cartridge in the allocated one to stop the leak. I've searched the web for information on replacing the inline switch but could not find this part even using the part number. I ended up getting a new set again and paying $176 plus shipping. I'm no expert but I think 5 year minimum usage (as this is my 3rd bathroom is not as good as expected from a premium brand like Hansโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No instructions

That's a solid piece, I need a little.

This is a solid piece, mine needs a bit of tweaking to fit the button. Looks like an end user error ๐Ÿ˜Š I will update after correction. Updated 5/27/17. Necessary adjustments have been made. However, both handles started to wobble after daily use by one person. This is an undesirable feature in custom or in any shower. I have to turn the temperature valve to the hottest setting to enjoy a warm enough bath. Of course I love hot baths. The appearance of this fairing belies the reality of itsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Useless features

I really liked this control as it matched all the other Hansgrohe faucets I bought when installing a custom shower at the end of the summer. Everything was very tight, but it was only enough for a few months of use. I have two main complaints, 1) Both the main stick and selector became very wobbly and wobbly. There is a small rubber cover that allows you to insert a hex wrench to tighten when removed. It worked the first few times, but it's gotten a little better now as the connection slack isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
