Good spray but not worth the price

Shower head gives good spray but overall not happy with the product. The instructions weren't very clear - had to be constantly adjusted to get the bar to fit properly. There was no explanation/diagram showing how to unbolt and adjust the bar holders to fit the 24" pre-drilled holes. The plastic expansion anchors were useless - they are too big for the 3/16 screws and hole sizes previously given. The product is missing a soap holder - other shower holders have that. Overall, it looks like the…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Not what I expected from Kohler

The light plastic rod's polished nickel finish was good. The finish of the same lightweight phone was also perfect. The phone is plastic but of good quality. Now for the hose. The plastic tubing was awful and hard. I'm not a fan of plastic hoses, they are always too stiff and therefore sit far away from the wall and always have to be twisted to get the hose where you want it. The steel hose is what I expected (especially given the price and the brand). I had to buy a new hose at a local store…

Pros
  • As everything before
Cons
  • Periodicity

Not worth the money!

I have a terrible habit of ordering hundreds of items from Revain but only write a review when I'm disappointed. I was sure it was empty. To my surprise it wasn't. The brushed nickel finish of the featherweight plastic holder was immaculate. The finish of the same lightweight tube was also perfect. (see photo). I hate plastic hoses, they're always too stiff so they sit far away from the wall and have to be twisted all the time to get the hose where you want it. The steel hose with rings is what

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

Great block - elegant and useful.

AMAZING! I added this hand held shower head to my regular shower head (you need a valve for that and I would say a plumber) and I absolutely love it. Installed a 60" seated shower in my new bathroom in anticipation of major orthopedic surgery. Of course I tested it before and it's amazing. There are 3 jet intensity settings, ranging from a gentle shower to a more targeted shower to a more intense focused jet. The jet is truly a blessing when cleaning your shower, giving a good intensity for…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

What I liked: The splint is metallic and feels comfortable.

What I liked: The splint is metal, feels good and is strong. The part that holds the hand shower is plastic but well made and glides smoothly. The rail brackets (used to attach the rail to the wall) are plastic and a slightly different color than metal, although they looked very nice (and I'm picky), they feel solid, but I prefer metal brackets. The hand shower is plastic (which is actually a good thing because if you drop it it won't break your toes), it looked very nice and felt good in the…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Great replacement for the existing slider system

This was the only decent looking slide rail system I could find with adjustable brackets so I could install it in place of the old system. The old slider system was also Kohler which was about 10+ years old and felt very loose and also looked dated and bulky. After removing the old guide rail I simply installed the 2 wall brackets using the existing anchors from the old system, applied the new sealant, adjusted the brackets on the rail to match the existing hole spacing and secured the rail…

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Nice looking and functional shower rail shower system

This is a nice shower rail shower system that works well and is easy to install. Installation: At first I was concerned. Drilling about two holes in a tile exactly 24 inches apart as the drill bits invariably tend to wander around the tile a bit, but that didn't matter as the spacing of the slider mounts on this unit is adjustable. You still want them to stay about 24 inches apart as the shower mount can only move between the mounts so you lose some of that path if you place them closer…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Don't really like it's ok
