Tools and Hardware Reviews of KOHLER K-10284-CP Forte Multifunction Showerhead, Polished Chrome
Customer Review: Decent for a hotel showerhead, but not as thrilling at home
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm continuing my quest for the perfect shower. I tried this model based on its rave reviews, but found it lacking in 2 of its 3 modes.
I primarily use the "normal" spray pattern; on this showerhead, the flow is pretty minimal and the coverage area is limited. Only 1/3 of the spray nozzles are devoted to this mode, and the spray pattern was weak. The cupped-hands test took several long moments to fill with water.
Futher, the soaker/rinse mode doesn't create a very broad stream of water (nor does it seem to put out any more volume than the normal spray), so I didn't find it useful.
The massage-mode was one of the best I've encountered in a one-piece showerhead, but it isn't a mode I use often.
This unit may be ideal for a hotel (as others mention, it's featured at Holiday Inn Express), which needs to reduce its aggregate water usage, but I conserve water in many ways at home, and my shower is the one place I want to indulge. The lack of a more forceful, more useful "normal" spray pattern makes this showerhead a poor choice for me.
Also, if you are tight on space, there's a 1.5-inch-wide decorative metal rim around the outside of the spray area, which makes this showerhead unnecessarily bulky.
For the basic spray, I much prefer the single-mode Kohler's like Kohler K-10391-CP Devonshire Single-Function Showerhead, Polished Chrome, which put out more water and in a broader pattern. Those units are covered in nozzles devoted to the general spray pattern, rather than just the narrow band of nozzles on this unit.
Not Recommended unless you primarily use the massage mode.

The soothing aerated spray softens the water pressure just slightly, creating a relaxing experience. The revitalizing massage spray increases the pressure and gives a textured feel to your shower. A fourth eco spray function saves water.
