Type of review

I'm giving a one star rating because it didn't work with my original Kohler faucet. After going to the usual big stores and realizing that Kohler didn't actually have a stock like this anywhere, I paid for overnight delivery. Installation is easy with a snap connector and should be fixed in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the threaded end that goes to the spray head itself is about 2-3mm larger in diameter than the hose that came with my faucet, so the spray head cannot fully retract into the mountโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • So-so

Effective replacement for Sensate faucet

Worked great as a replacement for a Kohler Sensate faucet (with motion sensor) which was starting to leak next to the metal ring on the original hose. The new hose is a bit narrower so I had to use a zip tie to keep the weight in place as the original clamp did not attach to the new hose. The collet hose was difficult to remove from the valve box, but using a crescent wrench to depress the ring while the hose was being pulled, it was eventually removed (the original was a bit rusty). The newโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Not as versatile as I was hoping

The hose itself looks high quality and if it matches your faucet then you've got it covered. The brass end on the plumbing fitting is exactly as the product image but does not match the instructions that came with the hose. What I needed was a threaded brass fitting with an O-ring for my Kohler Carmichael faucet. Unfortunately, I couldn't see which connector I needed until I disassembled the faucet, which I didn't want to do until I had a spare hose. So I had to do more research to make sure it

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Hard to tell

The original OEM hose only lasted 2 years

The original hose that came with the faucet only lasted 2 years. It started leaking just above the spray head. Removing the original hose is very easy. Installation takes longer as it is almost impossible to thread the hose back through the small hole in the bottom of the sink. This is unavoidable due to the elegant design of modern faucets, as manufacturers have to squeeze three hoses into this narrow opening. You will need to remove the bent part of the stem and remove the faucet to properlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Works but noisy, good for faucet spray hoses

My original Kohler hose broke after about eight years of heavy use so I bought this new one to replace it. It works well for its intended purpose. But whatever design or material is being used creates a very noisy and awkward experience. Each time it is pulled, the material rubs against the mixer components, making a very distinct noise, whereas the original hose was virtually silent. I believe the original came in a smooth plastic sleeve and this is covered with plastic tape. Also, the designโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Easy replacement, no tools required, just like the original.

This is a really easy replacement, I didn't need any tools to do this and I did it for a fraction of the cost compared to a plumber. My kitchen hose was leaking and I needed to be replaced. Made an appointment with a plumber and waited impatiently only to find on his arrival that he was unable to help me that day because the hose had to be ordered. WTH, I thought those were the standard hoses used in any car wash. Shows my ignorance. Anyway, he told me it had to be special ordered and wouldโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • unreliable

Thank goodness Amazon sells this item - and they offer it with free same day shipping. Our Kohler faucet unexpectedly leaked (of course) on a Saturday night. I quickly ran to the local hardware store and figured a standard hose replacement would work - guess what it doesn't - Kohlers are "special" and require "special" parts. Doing a frantic search of every DIY website (hoping to find it "in the shop") we found this hose on several specialized sites (and cheaper) - but if you NEED a kitchenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • String is shorter than other picks

This Kohler flush hose set is an improved successor to the original hose on my Kohler kitchen faucet. Kohler has improved hose design in recent years. First, the new hose design was easier to install than the old hose design. Second, and more importantly, the hose now has a swivel instead of a straight connector that attaches the hose to a detachable hand held sprayer. This is a significant improvement over the original design. Thanks to the swivel joint, the handheld sprayer is easier toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some defects

You made the wrong faucet choice, don't make it worse by buying

Before purchasing, I just visited the Kohler website and saw a simple installation guide. I had to click on youtube before ordering and confirmed I could get the old one. The videos on YouTube are more truthful and correctly point out that there is little chance of removing the old hose. The instructions say: press the hose, grab the plastic holder and pull the hose down. I pressed it, the plastic latch rested on the saddle and the hose stayed tight in the receiver. I called Kohler, waited 15โ€ฆ
