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.

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!

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.

The Boon Flo didn't fit right on my tub faucet so I bought some silicon tape (which does not leave a sticky residue) and went around the faucet over and over until it created a donut like shape around the faucet. Then I placed the Boon Flo on the tape. It worked during my testing so I'm hoping it will work permanently.

This is a really neat device that slips over your tub faucet to create a waterfall effect! It is good for rinsing out shampoo in the tub, and it's just plain fun, my daughter (age 6) thinks it's delightful. BUT on the first use it slid down and fell off of the faucet within seconds. Our tub faucet is an average-sized rectangular Delta, nothing unusual. We've rigged it with some rubber bands, which works. But it would be much improved with some kind of clamp to secure it, or way to tighten it on.

Would be a 5-star rating, but it doesn't fit perfectly on our faucet. It slides back when you try to push the bubble-bath button, but overall we're pleased with it. It's great for keeping the little ones from bumping their heads on the sharp faucet and all the rubber duckie faucet covers we had tried wouldn't fit. Would buy again.

I almost wrote a glowing review when i first got it. it sat on the faucet fine, it protected their heads, i could use the thingamajig that makes the shower go on and off easily, and the kids loved how it spread out the water and that i could fill it will bubble bath. that was the honeymoon period...

the bubble bath dispenser stopped working pretty quickly even though i tried washing it (i figured it was sticky with soap) and helping it along with my fingers while it ran, but it became more of a hassle than to just pour the bubble bath or shampoo directly in the running water.

then the mildew... oh the mildew. i didn't initially take it off after every bath but noticed it was started to get a little black on the inside. so i bleached the heck out of it and then took it off and hung it to dry after every bath. it was still FULL of mildew. it was stained to the point that even though i knew it was disinfected i just couldn't use it anymore because the whole bottom was tie dyed with black mildew stains.

overall since i had to buy another faucet cover anyway it was a dumb purchase.

I liked this faucet cover, but I recently had to throw it away. For a disposable product, I think it is overpriced.
CONS:
-This spout cover it IMPOSSIBLE to clean. I even tried putting it in the dishwasher and it came out looking just as gross as it went in. Disgusting mold grows in every crack and crevice and it won't come off.
-The "soap dispenser" is pathetic. It never worked quite right, I thought it was unnecessary (really, how hard is it to dump in some bubble bath?) and it leaked. I was not that disturbed by it until after I quit using it. The flap on the top would come open on it's own and water would get inside and get trapped in there. Then, at bath time, old gross water would leak out on me or my son. Ew.
-While this cover did fit on my faucet (no pull up for the shower) it was very easy for my son to pull off which he frequently delighted in doing. If you want this cover for safety against bumps and bruises, this is not the best feature.
-Overpriced for the frequency with which this item would have to be replaced to keep it clean.

PROS:
-I did like the deflector feature of this spout, which produced a nice "waterfall" effect in our tub and made shampoo rinsing with no cup and clean water easy. My son also liked to play in the waterfall.
-This cover stayed out of the way of the other handles in our tub.

Overall, I would not buy this product again.

This faucet cover would be wonderful IF it would stay on the faucet. It fit perfectly out of the box. Unfortunately, when it got wet, it slid off and wouldn't stay when I tried to put it back on. It seemed that when the cold faucet slightly heated from water coming out , it caused the cover to loosen and slide, and because the faucet cover was then wet it wouldn't stay. Very aggravating. Returned for refund.

We don't have a shower diverter pull on our faucet, so this faucet cover often falls off. Additionally, it has so many crevices that just turns orange with mold and is impossible to clean. It pretty much has to be soaked and then cleaned with a Qtip and there are still parts that don't get cleaned. Love other Boon products, but I'd pass on this one. Actually in the market for a new faucet cover.
