Tools and Hardware Reviews of Claber 8583 Koala Indoor Faucet to Garden Hose Connector
Customer Review: It works well
Summary: 4 Stars
I have faucets that have tips in outdated size, and I could not find a fitting faucet adapter. The Claber connector solves this problem because it does not require the tip to be in the exact size or male/female. However, it may still not work with all faucets. First, the faucet should be about 1 inch in width; otherwise, it won't fit. Height is adjustable so it should not be a problem for most faucets. If the end of the faucet where you want to place this connector is rounded, it may not install well or it will leak. There needs to be a flat surface that this connector can firmly grip on.
I wish the product has a better description so that people can get a better idea before they purchase. On the other had, Amazon.com has a good return policy.
Customer Review: This poorly designed connector will damage your faucet
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this to connect my washing machine to the kitchen faucet.
Unfortunately, once attached it mostly just sprayed water out between the white gasket and the faucet.
We tried several faucet nozzles to see if they would work better with this connector. But none did.
The device even dented the top of the faucet when I tried to tighten the connector to get a snug fit that didn't leak.
I have a typical kitchen faucet, nothing fancy, if the design of this connector worked it should of worked well with my faucet.
So now I need to replace my faucet, as well as replace the the Claber 8583 Koala connector with something else that will reliably connect a hose to a kitchen faucet.
Customer Review: Here's my directions since it only comes with a picture.
Summary: 4 Stars
Just got this connector so can't give it 5 stars yet but so far so good. Before ordering I read the reviews and decided to get it and figure it out myself. Start out pulling apart the 2 pieces by pulling down on the orange band (quick release). Now you have one part to screw your hose to and the other will be on your faucet. Your faucet will ultimately be pressed into the white rubber seal. Adjust the connector by turning the black flang so your faucet head with fit into the opening. Press down the orange top so the faucet presses into the white seal tightly. Turn on water...no leaks? Tight enough! Click your hose with its piece into the connector on the faucet and you're ready!Customer Review: Works well ... a little big
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tested this product and it seems to work great. You should not think to use it on weird faucets but I have used it on 3 different kinds and it works fine. If you have an "expensive" weird looking faucet, then it might not work. The reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is a tad long. With shallow sinks, it might be troublesome to have a hose attached without bending the hose a lot. I would think they could design a L shaped version. An even cooler way to do it is if the water went up the inside of the sides and the hose attachment was on top. I think this would make the attachment usable with a sink of any depth.Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprise to see so many negative reviews about this product. I simply opened the package and instead of using the lever at
the top of the product, which a reviewer said bent their faucet, I simply unscrewed the bottom water spigot until I could slid the hardware on to my faucet (Delta faucet) and once in place I tightened the bottom portion until it was a snug fit. How simple is that?!!!!!!! This is an awesome product especially if you live in an apartment and
need to water plants or wash down the patio furniture on your lanai or balcony. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!! Great invention! Mahalo!!
