Description of Boon Flo Water Deflector, Faucet Cover With Bubble Bath Dispenser Kiwi
Flo provides a simple solution to bath-time challenges. This unique product diverts the flow of water, creating a gentle waterfall, while providing a protective faucet cover to guard against injury. Flo also functions as a bubble bath dispenser.Simply attach this handy device to the bath tub faucet with the included spring-activated grip -- requires no assembly or special installation. When the water is turned on, it's diverted into a stream that extends up to 12" in front of the faucet, creating a gentle waterfall that makes rinsing your hair easy. The soft material on the front edge of Flo helps protect against injuries caused by bumping or scraping against the faucet. Parents can fill the bubble bath reservoir and let children dispense bubbles into the water by pressing the button on the front. Measures 7 1/4" x 4" x 3".
For most kids, taking a bath is all fun and games?until it?s time for shampooing. Granted, leaning back into the unknown, getting suds in the eyes, allowing Mom or Dad to pour cups full of water over your head, or banging your noggin on the faucet?none of this would be on a grownup?s list of favorite things to do, either. So kids and parents will both be tremendously relieved to discover Flo, a water deflector and faucet cover that turns a regular bathtub faucet into a gentle, safe waterfall. Children won?t mind leaning back into the soft spray of water, especially since the rubbery material of the deflector will make any inadvertent bumps pain-free. However, the chance of bumps is much less because Flo redirects the downward stream of water out and away from the faucet. The entire shampooing process will take place many inches away from the source of most injuries. No need for bathers to contort their bodies anymore to get directly under the flow. Best of all (for image-conscious parents), Flo is handsomely designed, sleek and stylish?no yellow duckies here! When it?s time for a grownup shower, the shower diverter remains accessible through the upper portion of the faucet cover, so you won?t need to remove it after every bath. Let It Flo
Installation of the Flo couldn?t be easier. Just squeeze the top and bottom sections together and fit over bathtub faucet. Make sure the front of the faucet extends over the inside flap, and that the shower diverter is accessible through the top opening.
Bubbles, With Little Toil or Trouble
A one-touch bubble bath dispenser releases liquid bubble soap into the flow of water, ensuring a tub full of fluffy, foamy fun. Pour liquid bubble bath into the reservoir at the top end of the Flo, then press the green button on the lower end where the water comes out.
Pros
Kids of all ages will love playing in the soothing spray from the deflector, and will be far less likely to resist a shampoo rinse when it?s under a "waterfall." Flo?s simple design is attractive to grownups and children alike.
Cons
Although the cover is designed to fit easily over any standard bathtub faucets, there are definitely some faucets that it will fit better?or worse?than others. The Flo is easy to attach?but it can be fairly easy to remove, too, which is not always ideal when it?s a curious one-year-old doing the detaching. The bubble dispenser does not always work optimally, but presumably that?s not what most parents will be looking for in a protective cover/water deflector, anyway. And with some engineering (a.k.a. wiggling the cover around), the bubble dispenser issues can often be resolved. --Emilie Coulter
Baby Products Reviews of Boon Flo Water Deflector, Faucet Cover With Bubble Bath Dispenser Kiwi
Customer Review: Let me tell you how much I hate this product.
Summary: 2 Stars
I despised this stupid thing from the moment we first used it, right up until we replaced it with the Skip Hop Moby. The design, for starters, is obnoxious. The water is supposed to fountain out, which it does, but only if you've barely got the water turned on because otherwise the water pressure will pull it off the spout and it will dangle uselessly from your water diverter. You try to put it back on, but because the spout it wet, the Flo loses it's grip on the spout, slips and dangles again. OK, fine, take it off and lay it aside to be used another time. Next bath experience: you pour bubles in the top only to discover that the bubble dispenser only dispenses about 2/3rds of the bubbles, leaving 1/3rd to chill in the resevoir: not helpful, you then discover that the very act of dispensing the bubbles has caused the Flo to lose it's grip on the spout and slip down to dangle uselessly from the shower diverter. Sigh. After one or two baths, during witch you've simply poured the bubbles straight into the bath water like you've always done, and run the water very lightly which means it took approximately 15 minutes for the tub to fill up five inches, you are alarmed to see that poor Flo has developed a bad case of mildew. *Before the reader runs away with any thoughts that the author never cleans her bathroom, please be informed that said author is nearly OCD level obsessed with bathroom cleanliness, because she lives with a man, and two toddlers* This mildew simply will not cease and desist. You scrub it with high-grade noxious smelling cleansers, only to see that that mildew is going nowhere. You run the Flo through the dishwasher, no good. You soak the Flo in bleach, kinda works, but the mildew is back in force in a few days. You finally break down and order the product you should have purchased to begin with, namely, the Skip Hop Moby. The Moby does not fountain out, but then again, the Flo didn't do so well at that either. The Moby is however, very cute, has a death grip on the tub spout, and can be thoroughly cleaned. Everyone is happy in tub land once again.
