Nothing Like A Great Shower
Love this showerhead. Water is strong enough to get shampoo out of your head and yet still gives the feeling of showering in the rain.

Great All-Purpose Faucet
Oh Kohler how I love thee.
We purchased this faucet to replace a more traditional single-handle pullout faucet that broke. I was a bit doubtful about how simple this one looked but it's performed amazingly. The toggle between the spray and normal modes is solid and moves from side to side - something I love. (Ever had to fight with those little silly buttons on top of a faucet?)
Clean-up is easy - just swipe with a wet cloth with a bit of detergent on it.
The faucet is tall enough to let us get even the biggest pots and pans out of the sink - and to fill the spaghetti pot while it's balancing on the sink ledge. It has almost a full 180-degree swivel and never feels wobbly.

didn't need it for installation of the new garbage disposal
It was "hinted" that if I bought the Waste King Garbage Disposal that "people who bought the disposal also bought this item". It was not needed as the garbage disposal came with everything it needed.

Great product!
I hesitated to spend so much on a toilet seat but I have no regrets at all. It is beautifully designed and manufactured. The soft-close and removable features both work great as other reviewers have said. The seat is at least as comfortable as the padded seat I had before it and it's light but very strong; I weigh almost 300 pounds and the closed lid doesn't give at all when I sit on it (I've sat on some plastic seats that felt almost like a trampoline). By the way the seat fits and works fine on my old generic toilet from the 1950s so the toilet doesn't have to be either a Kohler or new.
One small thing that I didn't notice until I started using it is the very nicely designed hand-hold at the front edge of the lid. The lid sticks out just a little bit farther than the seat at the front edge only which provides a perfect lifting point for your fingers. It's a small and subtle design feature that makes a nice difference from any other seat I've used.
The only caution I'd pass on is to be careful when you install the seat about getting the little square black posts aligned correctly. They mate with the hinge latch in only one orientation and there's no mention of them in the installation instructions. The seat comes with them correctly oriented inside the hinge but it's hard to keep them there while you mount the seat because you have to unlatch the hinges to do it. A reviewer of the round version of this seat had complained about this and about the poor installation instructions that don't help at all. So before I took the black posts out of the hinges for mounting I checked which way they were facing and everything went fine.

Double Your Infant Seat's Usefulness for a Little Money
My wife and I have been long-time fans of our Graco infant seat so much so that we would have been willing to purchase a second one in order to ensure that either my wife or I would always be ready to get up and go with our son when necessary. However Graco saved us from having to do that by offering this base alone as an accessory.
Some other reviews have claimed that having an additional base isn't really necessary because LATCH allows you to easily move the base from car-to-car. This sounds reasonable on paper but breaks down in real life:
* What if one of your cars is older than 2001 and doesn't have LATCH? Ask anyone who's correctly installed a car seat or base via the seatbelt and they'll confirm that it is a physically difficult endeavor. Faced with a choice between regularly undergoing this exertion or else investing in an additional base and then leaving it in place I'd bet 99% would go for the base (the other 1% apparently enjoy a vigorous workout at the most inopportune times).
* Will you always have the time to switch? When you're commuting or traveling with an infant time is an even more crucial resource than usual. Plus any number of other factors (What if you're alone with the baby? What if the weather is severe?) could make the prospect of a guaranteed quick departure well worth the $40 spent on a spare base.
* What about unforseen schedule changes? When our son began going to day care he had to be brought home early on several occasions because of ailments. Having a base in each car meant that either of us could go get him. So if one of was too tied up at the office we wouldn't have to stress over begging out of work early during a busy time.
More than a simple convenience having a base in each of your family's vehicles is an insurance policy against being painted into a corner when getting around town with your little one. Any working parent will especially appreciate not having to stress over "do I have the car with the car seat?" at any given time. We've gotten our money's worth out of this accessory time and time again.
