Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Used this in the shower to control a wall-mounted shower head. I highly recommend this valve for anyone who needs to control three outlets.

The temperature gauge itself is very easy to use and has an anti-scald feature so you don't go past the hottest pre-set temp unless you unlock the dial. It’s surprisingly easy to install and grohe has a how to youtube channel.



Cons

Customer service us non existent through amazon. The original buyer has the new valve and i am stuck with a $400 credit card payment. It's made of cheap plastic and it is way over priced.

It only fits a small selection of grohe products. The instructions are laughably vague. There's no reason the install should have been as complicated as it was. Extremely bad instructions.

Hot water for about 15 seconds, then it gradually gets colder until it is luke warm. Volume control is useless. And, the write-up says volume goes from ‘eco mode’ to full - a 10% flow difference is not eco.

Price


Keep that in mind when you are looking at cost.


I'm giving it 4 stars only for price, the fact you have to buy the smartbox separately, and replacement parts are all or nothing.


As of the time of this review, the product already costs $410 and now you're having to spend an additional $85 on the part.


Extremely expensive considering this items cost and related costs such as additional needed items, labor costs to install and l...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Great looking item that adds a stylish and elegant touch to my bathroom shower.

This controller is equal to the other grohe products i have owned.

We bounced back and forth with this shower control and the hansgrohe with similar functions, but this won out because it includ...  Read More
