Baby Products Reviews of Boon Flo Water Deflector, Faucet Cover With Bubble Bath Dispenser Kiwi
Customer Review: Hard plastic
Summary: 2 Stars
I was expecting something soft and rubbery which would help protect baby's head if he falls in the bath. But this is hard plastic. I couldn't figure out how it would really protect from anything. I guess it would help if you have your kids lean back to rinse their hair, this would allow them to sit further away from the faucet because of the waterfall spout. Also, although it's handy that the diverter is still functional, it's also a bit hazard sticking up that could hurt in a fall. I thought the protector came up higher around the diverter so that if you hit it, the head would stop at the protector and not reach the diverter. But that is not the case.
I think it works as they intended; it fits our faucet, and the waterfall effect is sort of neat. Didn't try the bubble dispenser, that seems like more trouble than its worth.
Just not what I was expecting, and doesn't work for us to provide the bath safety I was looking for.
Customer Review: Cool design, but has some kinks
Summary: 2 Stars
I love the design/look of this, but we also had problems with soap leaking out. No real problem since we keep liquid soap in the bath anyway. The big problem was with it falling off. I contacted customer service and they were very helpful offering suggestions, though they did not offer a refund since it had been several months since the purchase. We are still using it and it is pretty stable after I wrapped a few rubber bands around the faucet (under the Boon Flo) and one around the back.
I do not mind this setup, but find it disappointing to have to deal with it for a product at a higher price point. We are still using it more than 2 years after purchase though, since it does work with the modifications. If I'd spent less initially, I would have given it a higher rating even with the problems.
I do enjoy the "waterfall" effect, though honestly I wish I'd just purchased a cheaper blowup/plastic cover to start.
Customer Review: Nice product
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I think that this is a really good product. Aesthetically, it's very pleasing. We have a standard faucet with the pull up knob to divert water to the shower on the tip of the faucet. It fits the faucet well. The kids love the waterfall and enjoy putting their fingers and heads underneath it.
The only thing that I don't really like is that the soap dispenser is hard to push in and hold down. The soap cakes up on the holes where it comes out and then needs to be cleaned off in order to dispense more soap. It's not very easy to fill the dispenser. If you pour or pump the soap into the dispenser too quickly, it plugs up temporarily and overflows, and since the water doesn't reach the area around the hole to clean it off, it tends to get caked up as well. A funnel would make it a bit less complicated.
It does work well. Turning the shower on is not a problem and it is good protection in a slippery area.
Customer Review: Fun spout cover!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this a year ago and my kids both love it. It makes a really fun waterfall when the water is running and protects them from hitting their head or body on the hard faucet. It did dispense the bubble bath but in-between baths it dripped bubble solution into the tub. I kept filling it up at first but eventually didn't bother. It's easier to just pour some in out of the bottle. The bubble dispenser doesn't seal very well. Mine has just started getting mildew on it, which doesn't come off. But like bathmats and bath toys they all do eventually. I'm looking to buy another one just because my kids enjoy playing in the waterfall so much that I don't care about the bubble dispenser not really working the way it should. It does a good job of staying secure & in place. The inflatable ones pop and the rubber ones I have had slide around but this one clips on tight. I would recommend this to other parents and will buy another one for us too.Customer Review: Kids love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 2 year old son absolutely loves playing in the spraying water. The biggest attraction for me was the fact that it didn't cover up the faucet diverter - for that, it's perfect. Much better than those duck things that cover up the whole thing.
My only complaint is the bubble dispenser, which isn't very good. (most bubble dispensers for faucet covers aren't, as I've noticed) If you have thick bubbles, they won't flow down the dispenser well, plus you have to sit there and hold down the dispenser button while the bubble fluid SLOWLY trickles out. This is super annoying. My solution was to either add a bunch of water in the dispenser with the bubbles to make it more runny or to just can the whole thing and put the bubbles in the running water. It seems faster and easier to do it the old-fashioned way.
Other than that, I do think it's the best faucet cover out there thus far.
