Title: Cheap plastic handle-to-hose connection = 3 yr life expectancy
Product review: I got this unit from a Kohler vendor rep while working as a plumbing designer at a mechanical, electrical, plumbing consulting engineering firm. So I expected it would be a high end product that would represent the high quality of Kohler - leaving me confident to specify Kohler products. I installed it three years ago in our new home and last week the handle just fell off of the hose. Upon further inspection, I found black mold/mildew stains on roughly 2/3 of the crack surface, meaning it was cracking & weakening for some time and water was coming in contact with that mildew. Can't anyone use metal on higher stress parts? So much for my opinion of Kohler.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
