works and looks good

I asked a plumber to install this and it works great. Spray - A very good level of firm, even spray. I also like the handle very much, because it fits well in the hand and does not slip.

Pros
  • availability
Cons
  • nothing

Stylish hand shower

This is a departure from the larger round Kohler hand shower. The post is also shorter and more compact, perfect for our small shower room. The smooth, integrated handle/head with linear water jet design provides both curved and directional coverage.

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons
  • There are nuances

Top quality kitchen and bathroom sanitary ware

This is a complete ready to install kit with all the components required. All of these items convince with their feel and unusual appearance. The ultra-flexible hose and the light hand shower make showering even more pleasant. No more hose fights! The unique jet delivers water in a comfortable narrow pattern, but can be powerful enough to aid in thorough washing and rinsing. Buy with confidence, you won't be disappointed!

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

I used to buy 4 of these for different showers but this time I bought 2. A powerful spray is easily achieved by removing the green flow restrictor on the handle inlet. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because Kohler has changed the connection between the sliding bar and the handle in such a way that the shower can't stand horizontally, but only between 90 and 45 degrees vertically. I disassembled the connection and removed the plug, but the average buyer can't do that.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Reliability

The quality of this set is immediately apparent.

The quality of this kit is obvious as soon as you pick up the box, it's hefty. If it has two modes of operation, full beam and half beam. The spray holder is well built, tilting and height adjustment is smooth when you want to move it and stays secure when locked. The distance between the mounting posts is fixed, so measure twice and drill once as there is no more than 1/16 inch of clearance. Also the instruction manual mentions two different hand shower kits with two different sizes, with the…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons

Exquisitely Crafted - Bathroom Sanitaryware

The craftsmanship of this hand shower is immediately apparent in its appearance and weight. It has two modes of operation: full jet and half jet. The atomizer holder can also be tilted and the height adjustment can be easily moved and held tight. The flow regulator is not part of the scope of delivery, but a control valve can easily be installed between the non-return valve and the hose. However, there are two aspects of the installation that can be improved: The distance between the mounting…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Attractive shower bar

This hand shower is great. It looks good in polished chrome and is comfortable to use. The water pressure is adequate, the "holster" of the shower hose on the handle fits nice and securely, it can be moved with minimal effort and then locked in place, the holster can also tilt slightly, giving the hose a slight downward or upward angle, making it more secure. There are no leaks, but of course it's only been installed for a few weeks. It comes with a vacuum valve (I'm no plumber so not sure if…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Excellent quality and beautiful.

Last September we remodeled our bathroom and used all Kohler fixtures. They are of excellent quality and this hand held shower set is no exception. The hallmark of this set is quality. All details, no matter how small, are well made and durable. It's just a very high feeling. It also looks great. The chrome finish is immaculate and all parts fit together perfectly. The sprayer has a rubberized grip and silicone-coated spouts for easy cleaning of accumulated hard water. The movable handset…

Pros
  • Top marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Clarity
