KOHLER22169-BN Forte Multifunction Showerhead, Wall-Mount, 3 Spray Settings, 2.5 GPM, Vibrant Brushed Nickel

This si a good shower head made from quality materials. I have the lower flow version and like the water savings. I still get good pressure and cleaning. My favorite setting is the mister. My only small complaint so far is that there is a stray stream in the mister that cannot be corrected by cleaning. This could become a bigger problem in the future, but for now it is a minor annoyance. Still, for the cost, I would have liked to have seen better.

I love the different settings on this shower head. The lowest pressure setting almost looks like it's a mist, but it has enough force to gently wash away shampoo and soap while also feeling very spa-like. It was a breeze to install (most shower heads have been in my experience in my bathrooms) and hasn't dripped or had any issues in about six months.

With a glowing review in the New York Times Wirecutter section and fancy marketing terms from Kohler, you would believe that this showerhead can turn a trickle into a Niagara Falls of luxury. Not quite, but it is a step up from the WaterPik Shower Massage showerhead it replaced and saves as much water as that one did. The introduction of air is supposed to create “fatter“ water droplets. The rain setting is nice and is helped by the large showerhead, which means that a pleasant rain falls over a wide area. The more focused, pulsing setting is not worth the trouble. It’s almost impossible to feel any massage sensation. The innermost setting, called “silk“ is a nice rinse for hair and face, but the fine droplets dispersed can create colder water on the fringes of the spray. It’s an attractive showerhead and it looks like a quality unit when installed. Some people seem put off by the amount of plastic in it, but it’s not likely to take much abuse in use, and it will not corrode the way a metal unit might. All in all, a good purchase, but I’d say it’s worth about $10-$15 less than its list price.

I was worried about the diameter of this head - but the spray is even, contained, and easy to control. Compared to the much smaller diameter showerhead that came with the house, this thing is comfortable, allows us to rinse well, and doesn't scatter water all over the place. The diameter is just fine.I thought I might regret not getting the higher flow head - but I'd rather save water anyway.It does feel "plasticky" but it installed in a few seconds, and the only oddity is it "fills" up with water before spraying properly. But it does the job it is supposed to do, so I suppose the price is fair.

I like the variety of settings, and they are easy to set.

You owe it to yourself to buy this. Great velocity and quality. A bargain compared to other overpriced showerheads. I already bought a second one.

I had high expectations for this shower head, as it’s been the NYTimes/Wirecutter top recommendation for over 2 years now. We have two residences: A house with fantastic (if not overkill) water pressure, and an apartment with worse water pressure.This shower head takes on two completely different personalities. In the high water pressure house, it feels decent, like you can kinda tell it’s not a 90’s era torrential shower head, but you can easily stomach the compromise thanks to the water savings. But in our low water pressure apartment, it’s so underwhelming that we both laughed when we first turned it on. Water lazily dribbles out and you can see an arc as the water basically free-falls onto you when standing 2 feet away.We did some experiments, and saw that while the same 1.75gpm flows at each location, the difference is the aeration. With high water pressure, you can hear the shower head hiss, the streams coming out are milky white with air bubbles. But with low water pressure, the water dribbling out is simply clear with the occasional air bubble in the stream.The fancy aeration mechanism that is supposed to feel like extra water only seems to work if you have high water pressure.Apart from how lackluster the shower feels, we weren’t impressed with the overall build quality. It’s very prone to leaking from the valve unless you use a ton of teflon tape and tighten it really hard. The material is almost all plastic and after a few weeks of use the lever has worn down to dull plastic.This might be an okay shower head if you have really high water pressure and other low-flow heads feel like pins and needles — the aeration feature really helps to soften the streams. But if you have average to low water pressure, I don’t think you’ll be impressed at this price point, it feels like a compromise and there’s no hiding that it is a super water saving shower head.I personally recommend the High Sierra shower heads more. Even their 1.5gpm one feels more satisfying than this. And their 1.8 and 2.0 flow rates feel like showering under a fire hose.

I got this after reading a “best shower heads” list. It’s spendy, but worth the money.

muy funcional, 3 movimientos y buen material

My only issue is the description mentions the Pause function, which this showerhead does not have.Adjusting the angle is smooth but firm, exactly what we wanted. 3 modes are great, love the silky mist setting for warming up.

Apesar de um delicioso modo que lembra a chuva, o chuveiro tem um baixo volume de água. É um problema para as pessoas com cabelos longos e volumosos.

So glad I bought this. Love it! Easy to switch from one shower option to another and perfect performance on each. Going to buy another for the cottage.

So easy to install
