Pricey but essential

Two strainers for $50. I didn't want to pay that much so I replaced my strainers with cheapo $5 replacements. They didn't quite fit they didn't look right and they didn't make a proper seal with the sink. Finally I broke down and bought these puppies. It's like having a brand new sink! They fit perfectly and look sparkling. They are sturdy and solid. If you have a Kohler duo-strainer there's no substitute for these baskets. I love them.More detail ...

Solid durable and easy to install

This is a really well-built sink strainer - a world of difference from the low-end products in terms of heft and well-machined surfaces. For me the best product feature was the way Kohler designed it to be easy to install. Rather than have to struggle with a pipe wrench to snug it to the underside of the sink there are three screws that hold it in place. You set the flange (the part you see when you look down into the sink) with plumbers putty. Then on the underside of the sink put in the supplied rubber and metal washers. Screw in the retaining nut and hand tighten.



At this point you'd normally have to use a pipe wrench to tighten the nut. But with the Kohler there are three screws that you tighten instead. Much much easier especially if the working space under the sink is cramped. The joint is just as secure as a if you used a wrench but no scraped knuckles.



The basket is also well-made and fits tightly with an o-ring to allow you to fill the sink without the water slowly draining away.



Kohler offers two versions of this - this model comes with a tailpiece the other does not. Other than that they are the same. There is also another model that is much less expensive (it's called the "stainless sink strainer") but it is also less well constructed and does not have the easy install feature.



The CP finish (polished chrome) is the least expensive. They also make this product with several other finishes such as brushed nickle stainless brass etc. Those prices are rather outrageous considering that the only difference is the color of the flange. Although my faucet is brushed stainless (the Kohler VS finish) the CP finish flange coordinates with it just fine.More detail ...

The Best Shower Head I've Had

I don't write many reviews. However this one is worthwhile. It is as far as I can tell the same design of shower head that is in the Holiday Inn Express. How can a shower head be worth all that advertising for a hotel? Well this one is! Whether you have low or high water pressure this thing will work. It replaced a Delta head that was twice the price. My only complaint is that the rim is very wide but the plus is that this makes the head rotate/adjust very easily with almost no effort (yet it stays in place where you aim it).More detail ...

Love this filter.

I am not sure why the other bad reviews. I have had this filter system in place since 2004. I run the Cartridge for usually more than a year before replacing. It flows at full pressure throughout the entire life of the Cartridge. The water comes out without any odor from the start of the cartridge to the end. My last Cartridge was purchased in May of 2008 so perhaps something has changed but Kohler is usually rock solid so I doubt it.

Great Faucet

Purchased for remodeling project new cabinets counter tops and faucets. Very fast shipping. Easy install. Looks great and operates properly.More detail ...

Very nice

This was very nice and easy to use.

I just popped it on to replace the old white one.

It even came with the plastic piece that holds it down (I'm saving that in case I get a new tube later).

It looks just like in the picture and wipes clean with a damp paper towel.More detail ...

KOHLER is great mechanically as well as looks

I've installed a number of faucets. None have been a breeze like this.



The Hot/Cold flexable hoses attached to the faucet have 3/8" female threads. On one hand this was great (no messing around with copper pipes as I've had in the past). On the other I had to use a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter for my hookup.



The bottom of the faucet that connects to the counter top (I used it with an undermount sink but you can use it with a surface mount sink too) had a really good rubber seal to stop leaks. Fastening it was easy using their mechanism requiring only a screwdriver (no fiddling around with a large wrench in a tight space).



Finally the hose for the pull-out spray is the best design I've seen so far. Which is good because I've found this is the one thing that has leaked on cheap faucets. It has a weight that fastens to the end of the hose to make returning the spray back to it's position very natural.



The black button on the top of the spray head to change from spray to stream was a nice touch :)
