Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had three of these installed 9 years ago (2001). I would not buy them again.
They all start leaking (through the shower head) every 4-5 years. You then have to refurbish or replace the two internal stop valves. The manual shows how, but it's time consuming, and too involved for most homeowners. Requires socket wrenches. About 10 parts are removed before you get to the stop valves.
The stop valves are $150 a pair, but Grohe will send them for free under the lifetime warranty, Or you may just need new O-rings (special metric sizes, not available in any US hardware store).
Pro's:
- Thermostat: Set it and forget it
- Seems like very high quality components inside and out
- Good lifetime parts warranty (Save your receipt!)
Cons:
- The stop valves need servicing every 4-5 years
- Self-servicing is tricky. Plumbers are expensive.
Once you install an in-wall shower valve it's very expensive to cut your losses and change to a different model.
