This Kohler looked great in my shower but produced too diffuse a spray for my taste.The coverage is excellent as promised. But for rinsing or a heavy soaking, unless you're very tall or your showerhead is mounted very low, it's hard to get to the right position to catch much of the spray in a small area. if I were to cup my hands and hold them up, it takes several moments for them to fill with water.
Pressure is good, and one of the reasons I bought this was the single-function design implies it's simpler inside. Less fancy mechanisms to get gunked up with mineral deposits; those have made my older showerheads slowly decrease output over the years. However, the front of this Kohler is gently curved, which I suspect causes the diffuse spray pattern. At 5" wide, Kohler should probably have made the surface flat, with angled nozzles.
In my prefab shower (the kind with fiberglass walls), this is physically probably the largest showerhead I'd want that's not an overhead "rainshower".
Although I don't have the Devonshire line in my bathroom, the classic polished chrome looked fine with my Delta accessories.
This is the first showerhead I've tried that dribbled a bit from the threaded end when under pressure-I might have worn down the threads on the showerhead pipe from attaching/removing different showerheads, or more likely the metal threads really need the recommended "teflon thread tape" to seal properly. That tape is a cheap, removable layer that goes on the threads before you screw the showerhead into place, and is about a buck for a small roll at my hardware store.
I like the showerhead: it's well-made and looks nice, and the water output is decent (hence the 4 stars), but the spray pattern doesn't suit me, so it's going back.

I always check the reviews before making an Amazon purchase, but I've learned not to accept every review as fact. In this case, some guy was complaining that he'd shelled out a lot of money for this shower head and that he was disappointed that it was plastic. It's not plastic. It's metal, as promised, easy to install, and works great. The water flow is "rain" style, which we love. We purchased the shower head in conjunction with the full Devonshire suite -towel bars, faucets, etc. I think it saved me a lot of money, perhaps only temporarily, because since it's been installed, there has been a diminution of lobbying by my wife for an upgraded shower stall.Ordered my showerhead and received it very quickly and at a reasonable price. The quality of the showerhead is very good an we enjoy it.Want KOHLER K-10391-PB Devonshire Single-Function Showerhead, Vibrant Polished Brass Discount?
