- Works for some people . . . But not me.
- This product is a great idea, but they need to be more clear in the selling info that it only fits on certain faucets. The hole at the top that fits over the shower knob thing only fits over knobs that are at the front of the faucet. Unlike mine, which is further back. I can get the boon flo cover over the faucet, but it really doesn't clamp down and it falls off if you bump it. Hopefully I'll be able to move into a house, someday, that has the right kind of faucet.

- Does not work
- This product is pretty disappointing. It does not clamp tightly to the faucet spout and slips off to the end causing water to flow out the back. My spout is a typical design so the cover should be able fit properly. Many people mentioned the need for a shower pop-up knob, which we do have. When someone takes a shower, the cover slips forward holding the knob up. The knob would normally pop back down when the shower is turned off. Instead I get an icy cold shower when I turn my daughter's bath water on! The other problem is that the resevoir to hold bubble bath leaks badly and when I filled it in the evening at bath time it had completely drained by morning. This happened the very first time we used it, not after soap gunk had built up in the dispenser. The only feature I did like was that it was effective at diffusing the water flow which made it quieter and less scary to my baby.

- Design flaw, explained
- Like others, I like Boon products and this one looked great. However, it does not work on my bath's faucet/spout -- it falls off easily and often, from my baby touching it, from the water flow, sometimes all by itself when noone's near it. The problem seems to be two-fold:
1) Our bath spout does not have the pull-knob on it to switch between bath/shower mode. Ours is built into the wall. This knob may hold the Boon Flo on better (it is pictured in the product photos).
2) The hinge-spring doesn't seem tight enough -- it seems to loosen after a couple of weeks.
I wish Boon had specified that it doesn't work for certain types of bath faucets. Leaves me wary of the company's other products (even though I've bought some other ones which work fine). I may try silicon tape, as someone here suggested, but I shouldn't have to . . . - 2008-10-27, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- fits, but beware!
- Ok, so it fits over our weird lift up shower valve and it protects the kids from the sharp edge of the faucet, but it grows mold an is pretty gross. I soaked it in bleach ad it smells better but it didn't really get the stains off. Also, the soap drips out if you leave it in. Wastes the bubble bath and makes for a slippery surprise in the morning when you step into the bath tub. I haven't seen any other product that fits over our faucet, so I'm keeping it for now, but i don't love it.

- Doesn't fit all faucets
- It is a great concept, but didn't fit my system. I just sent it back. But I would recommend it to anyone with an older, smaller tub faucet.
