Cheap plastic and crappy water flow

Wow what a price tag for a cheap plastic rain head. Water pressure is absolutely lousy. There is no voluptuous water flow, water just dribbles out. Avoid this complete waste of money.

plastic cheap

The plastic threads have stripped out on 2 of these. I thought Kohler was supposed to be decent. Im stuck trying to find a replacement to fit a freestanding tub.

Beautiful Fixture, Disappointing Water Pressure: More Trickle than Flow

It's a beautiful fixture but the water pressure is very disappointing; it goes from light to trickle.

Not the quality expected of a Kohler product - all plastic.

Lever on the plastic face broke off, and is not a service part.

Not good.

Cheap quality. All plastic. Feels like a joke at the price.

As always, Kohler delivers. I don't have any major problems with Kohler products and the few times that something broke down the line, they have replaced parts for free. Very good customer service

Kohler always. No questions or problems.

It has flaws

Nice, multi-function hand held shower, but the spray isn’t as strong as I was told it would be. I bought this in conjunction with an overhead rain shower head because I have long, thick hair that needs to be rinsed with a powerful spray. I was assured by the sales rep that the handheld shower nozzle provided Three different jets with at least one of them being forceful. Not the case. The size and weight of this item are great, however having purchased it in matte black, I didn’t realize how delicate the powder coating was. It scratches very easily. This was very expensive and should have a superior coating. Disappointed with the purchase.

Broke within 6 months because its plastic.

I wanted to like this, because it looks great and sprays water nicely. The problem is it is plastic and the hose we connected it to is metal. Perhaps this wouldn't be a problem with a plastic hose, I don't know. But during a shower, it just blew out, fell off, and water was shooting from the hose. The threading seems to have worn down and broken off. The threading is also plastic.

Master Bath Remodel Completed and We Love Everything!

We recently had our master bath remodeled and we love everything! We went with the Kohler Purist Shower System because of the design and overall function. Across from the shower/tub area is our vanity with two Kohler Caxton sinks and Kohler Purist Faucets in matching Lever style which we changed out last year when we redid all the countertops in our home. Now everything is mostly completed and looks fantastic. The frameless glass shower enclosure will be here in a few weeks.

Poor design

The way this shower head is made, it traps water inside. Since we use our rain head first and then turn this on to rinse off better, cold water will drip out around the edges amidst the hot water being sprayed. Other than that, it's a nice shower head, but I would not buy it again.

Piece of Plastic

Paid a lot of money to get a handheld piece that feels like plastic! Kohler is very inconsistent in its products. Only reason I purchased this was to match the exact color of my Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass fixtures but it’s otherwise just a fancy looking piece of plastic.

Greal handheld showerhead

Bought this shower head with the "trickle' shut-off for our boat and it works like a charm. Really love the air-induction rainshower setting.

1.75 gpm Kohler handshower with air-induction works SO WELL!

I originally bought a 1.75 gpm Kohler Purist handshower head to place on a shower bar as my primary shower head. I was unhappy with it for years - not enough force or spray to clear my hair of shampoo. The new Purist 1.75 gpm handshower with Katalyst air-induction was such an improvement! I would recommend it!
