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.

Was worried about switching shower heads, with all of the new heads having some sort of water flow restrictor that just ruins a shower experience. However, this unit has one of the highest flow rates allowed (thanks government meddling) and really works well within the limits. Easy to install (with plumbers tape). 3 settings of water flow, rain, direct, and mist. Typically, I am not a fan of the different settings, I just set it to the one I like and never change. This shower head has been different though. Each setting is significantly different from the others and each seems to have a useful purpose. The general rain fall setting is a nice all-around setting. The direct flow is more concentrated in fewer jets and has more force (good for rinsing shampoo out of hair). The mist setting is a nice, comfortable, relaxing setting. Mist setting needs the water temperature set higher to offset the cooling effect of misting, but it is gentle, with lots of 'jets', so good coverage. Think it may reduce the overall water use as well, but I have not confirmed that thought.

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.

Our rain-type shower head took forever to get my hair wet, rinse out the shampoo, then the conditioner... The Kohler Forte 1.75 GPM Multifunction Showerhead is a dream come true! It has three settings, one of which I endearingly call "the firehose" setting. My hair is thoroughly wet in a matter of seconds, same for rinsing out the shampoo and conditioner. It is super simple to rotate to the other two settings, one of which is like a mist (my husband's favorite), while I prefer the third, in-between setting, for the rest of my shower. I love this shower head!

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.

Color: Vibrant Brushed NickelSize: 1.75 GPMPattern Name: ShowerheadVerified Purchase
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.
