    Very please with the sleek look of the oil rubbed bronze shower head. Bonus surprise - four different functions (thought it only had two) when you flip the head. All functions are a little bit of a different spray just for fun.

    I bought this about 6 months ago from homedepot.com and it has worked flawlessly. Unlike another review I read, the water pressure is strong (I always remove the water restrictor in any showerhead I buy). There are four truly functional sprays, unlike most other multi-function shower heads. I do find myself using the two broader sprays (the "Koverage," which is most like a rainshower spray, and the "Komotion," which has a softer feel but is still a strong, useful spray that feels best when using it close to your body) most of the time, but do use the other two, especially when cleaning the shower. Holding the product it has a high-quality feel, and after six months still works like new with no leaks and no reduction in water flow. I did buy the oil-rubbed version, which looks great with the other oil-rubbed products in my bathroom. I would absolutely buy this again.

        The sprays are nice, but design is hard to clean and does not wear well
        This handshower was particularly recommended to me by a Kohler representative when I was installing a Hydrorail system. I enjoyed the various spray functions, but the design of the hand shower makes it extremely difficult to clean, particularly the sprays that work from the side of the showerhead. I live in an area with hard water and despite regular cleanings (by various methods), in less than 2 years, there are mineral deposits that simply won't come off, which is not a pleasant showering experience. Further, the frame of the handshower (within which the showerhead rotates) appears to be made of plastic, and the finish started flaking off. Not what I would expect from Kohler. I replaced this with the Shift handshower, which appears to be better-made and will be easier to maintain.

          Love this Shower Head
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned a Flipside shower head for several years now and it by far it's my favorite shower head. It does everything I want and out of a shower head and more. The standard spray pattern does 90% of the work for me but with a quick flip I go to my next favorite setting where the water comes out in a soft but yet powerful wide pattern. It's a unique setting I've only experienced on a Flipside shower head and it feels amazing. I also find this setting very useful when I'm cleaning the shower too.

            Love the features
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using my flipside. Gives me adequate water pressure and works nicely on the pressure to get the soap out of my daughters hair.

              I'm lovin it!!!
              I hated my previous shower head. The main spray was so fine you had a difficult time rinsing shampoo out of your hair and it actually made the hot water seem cold. This is a great four type shower. Looks wonderful in my beautiful full glass shower. Shoud have done it much sooner. Thanks Koehler!!

              Absolutely awesome--a spa in your own home!
              I love this hand shower!! Unfortunately, I spend twice as long in the shower now. Whoops! Each of the four selectable sprays is great--I honestly use them all at different times, and they're especially therapeutic when using it in handheld mode. The "Koverage" standard spray mode gives me chills it's so good. It's not high pressure but it has 72 jets that drench your body and it feels great. The other full-face spray ("Komotion") has 12 spinning water jets that scatters large droplets like heavy rain. The flat "Kurrant" spray is great for sore muscles, especially at close range when holding the shower in your hand, and the "Kotton" spray is powerful yet soft and super-gentle (even on the face) and it feels really luxurious. I tried the lower-flow (2.0gpm) version of this same hand shower and didn't find it as compelling, so stick with this one if your local laws allow it. This feel of this 2.5gpm model is great, even with the flow restrictor intact. This unit looks great and is nice and solid--it's a very high quality fixture worthy of the Kohler name. Just be sure to order a hose and a mount, as those are not included with this hand shower.

                Kohler Flipper
                Simply superb hand held shower head. I didn't know it came in ORB which is a bit more expensive. Had a chrome one for several years. Can't beat this one!!!!!

                Really a nice shower head with plenty of options for water flow.
                This shower head was easy to install and performs well. We were having issues with water preassure through our old shower head. This solved that nicely.

                Returned - did not install
                Ordered the showerhead and rec'd only the showerhead. So, ordered a hose and received only a hose. Looked briefly at mounting brackets online, but gave up and returned items.

                The best hand shower I ever had.
                I read the 2 reviews and I do not agree with them. I had this shower for 6 months and it is still working like new. I like the design. The chrome finish looks expensive and quite solid. Flipping the head gives you 4 different shower patterns. I like the wide rain shower best but the water fall pattern is also very nice. I intend to get the hand shower version as I had the fix one for the over head shower. These days I spend more time in the shower as I enjoy the spa like shower. The Home Depot offer the best value as it comes with free shipping too.

                  Well be returned
                  It does not have a standard fitting so it will not fit with a slider bar, and the included attachment it to sit to low for us. One of the settings has a very large spray pattern and, it is nice but does work when you have a shower bathtub with a curtain, water mess outside the shower. If you have a nice large shower with a door and your shower head is up higher you might really enjoy this shower head, but does not work well for my older, small unit.
