Tested on cold water only because my boiler just dropped. But the jet is perfect, with you touch gets a light rain. The pommel is bigger than I thought! But perfect for rain format, the small elbow provided with was a nice surprise. As usual, no disappointment at Grohe. I've seen some comments indicating that it is plastic, I find very pretty appearance and quality finish, while being lightweight thanks precisely to the use of materials other than stainless steel.
