Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The replacement cartridges for Kohler shower run in the $30-$40 range, and each unit takes two separate cartridges to repair.I was told by a Kohler dealer that most of the fixture manufacturers are moving to cartridge based systems because (and I quote) "they're more reliable."This is a lie.We have had TWO top-of-the line ($400+) Kohler shower fixtures fail with fewer than six years of service.If that happened in a REAL faucet, I'd just replace a 5ct washer and be done with it.Instead, I'm stuck with either paying over $80 total for the valve cartridge and the pressure-balancing cartridge or replacing the entire system with a different manufacturer's product (which means breaking into the wall behind the fixture, installing the new shower system, patching drywall, painting, etc).As much as I hate the idea, it's actually cheaper in the long run because it's a sure bet that the Kohler repair parts are going to fail at some time down the road.I don't want to have to shell out close to a hundred bucks every couple of years just because I have a little drip in the shower.
Oh, one other thing: Thinking of buying a house?Make sure there are no Kohler fixtures, because they won't honor the warranty if you're not the original owner.
