KOHLER K-10286-BN Forte Multifunction Handshower, Vibrant Brushed Nickel

Looking high and low for real brass handheld, thought I found it (Material: Metal), but alas, it is plastic. It may include some metal, but this is plastic and it is being returned.

This is a very ordinary handheld unit. Despite its appearance in pictures or in its wrapper, its construction is predominantly plastic, and it is not particularly solid either. When you grab the (plastic) flange to tilt the showerhead, you feel the flange bend before the head actually moves. The primary spray pattern feels no gentler and is no more dispersed than that of my $25 solid brass showerhead. This is not an especially luxurious or classy piece of hardware. (In all fairness, though, I would probably describe many similarly-priced models of competing brands in somewhat comparable terms.)

The unit mounts to your shower arm at the base of the handheld unit (that is, where the hose attaches to the handheld unit), meaning this unit relocates your showerhead position up by nearly a foot. One consequence of that is you might have to stand one to two feet further back and thus away from the water controls, which is not terribly convenient; another ramification is if your towels hang on the opposite wall, they are somewhat more likely to get wet, depending on the angle you tilt the head.

Ultimately, this unit looks nice enough on the drawing board and in its package, but it is faux luxury, pretentious yet cheapish and not extraordinarily convenient. If you want something from Kohler of this design and don't care about the "massage" spray pattern -which to me feels more like being whipped than getting a massage -consider the Forte single-function showerhead instead of a handheld unit. It's half the price, and might function better.

kohler always makes quality products and this product holds up to the kohler quality. i was concerned that it might be clumbsy to hold in my 85y old mother's hand, but this concern was unfounded. it's pretty ergo-friendly, has 3 different spray settings, and a strong water pressure as well. it does not seem to have the water saving attribute to it to create a low-pressure water flow. we are very pleased with our purchase.
