Looks great, but breeds mildew, December 22, 2007

There are many nice things about this product but I would not recommend it if:

- you do not have a drain lever on your faucet, it just slides off

- your bathroom is even remotely susceptible to mildew. Ours is, and the rubber inside Flo seemed to breed it instantly like nothing else. This wouldn’t be an enormous problem – except Flo did not clean at all, even with Tilex and taking it apart to go at all its nooks with a toothbrush. Soaking it on the window ledge in near 100% bleach for 6 hours seems to be the only thing that worked. Sort of strange for a product designed to be used in a wet environment.

Not perfect, but good item!, January 14, 2007

First the bad : we have a standard Moen tub faucet. The Flo doesn’t *quite* sit right on the faucet, so we have to play with it a bit to get all the water to go down the slope, rather than out the back of the Flo. But it’s not really a big deal, just takes a bit of adjusting.

The good : My daughter (11 months old) loves to play with the water coming from the faucet. The Flo allows her to sit a little further back (thus sparing me stress every time she gets a little tippy!), and she also really delights in the waterfall effect. When she gets older, I think the bubble bath dispenser will be more appreciated.

Speaking of which, other reviewers have mentioned the bubble bath leaking out — I have seen a few drops in the “scoop” under the faucet, but nothing major. It’s been on a week, and I’ve yet to need to refill it.

I haven’t had any problems with mess with this either. Even when I didn’t have it adjusted just right and water was washing backwards under the faucet, it didn’t go everywhere, it just ran down the tub side (INSIDE the tub).

If it wasn’t for the slightly finicky adjustment necessary, I’d have given this 5 stars!

Conflicted…, December 7, 2006

If this would fit my oversized faucet, I’d be giving it all 5 stars! I think it’s a great product, and my kids loved it…while I had the patience to hold it onto our faucet. Unfortunately, that grew old rather quickly, and now it’s in the box awaiting our move to a new house–hopefully one with a more modern and dainty bathtub faucet. Go to the Boon Inc website, and you can find info on the faucet type that the Flo will fit. They have a new design that will fit more narrow faucets more tightly now (tighter spring); unfortunately that doesn’t help me…

I gave it 4 stars because it’s not entirely the fault of the product that it doesn’t fit MY faucet.
