It worked well for 9 months; started giving me trouble and then 11 months simple stopped working.I tried all that could be done to
get it going to no avail. Considering the price I paid I am not terribly angry. But........notice they are now going of $200.00 plus(?) Those buyer's
might not like it. Sorry!

While I can not really say I dislike the product in concept, I can and will say that it has significant limitations. If not for the recent price trend and poor reliability, I would probably have rated it four stars, but as a device that saves me less than a minute per day versus spraying the shower with a hand-pumped solution, it is simply no longer worth it to me.

On the good side, this is a 'lazy person' equivalent to those after-shower sprays in the hand pump bottles such as 'Clean Shower' -- push a button and walk away. It seems to work well enough to reduce how frequently the shower needs to be scrubbed down properly. They have upgraded the sprayer unit so it has a 'double shot' mode that I often use after the last shower before a trip, as well as its original mode that is meant for daily use.

It demonstrates no clear advantage over the other solutions (such as 'Clean Shower') other than with it being easier, one is more likely to use it. When applied daily, the results from this and various other after-shower sprays seem to be about the same in my shower.

On the bad side, the sprayer unit lasts about one year -- if you are lucky. I have gone through several of these and had one last almost 14 months, and one last less than four months, but in general they last around 10 to 12 months. The refills last less than claimed, too -- most of the time I go through three refills about every two months, with simple daily use, where I remember early advertising implied the refills should last a month.

They go through AA cells at a fair rate, though. Expect to replace them about quarterly. Take care when replacing them; the unit needs to be clean and dry first, then make sure it's properly sealed before you put it back up. You are likely to want to wash your hands after getting the goo (looks and feels like Vaseline) from the contacts on your hands.

When the sprayer alone sold for $20 to $25, and the refills for $3 each, it was all cheap enough that I thought it was worth the money to save myself the time and hassle. If they had improved the sprayer durability and longevity (maybe lasting a few years instead of several months), a reasonable price increase might have been justified (but an increase from $20 to $100+???). For the consistently poor to mediocre quality presented, the sprayer seems overpriced above maybe $25.

Be prepared for significant price fluctuations in the sprayer and its refills. I have seen prices for the unit run from $15 (no refill) or $20 (one or two refills included) through over $100. The refills I have seen run from $2 per refill to over $10 per refill.

I am giving up on this. It is less trouble (and probably better for other reasons) to use the hand-pumped sprays than it is to locate a new one of these every time my current one breaks down.

This stuff is beyond terrific. Our water has minerals even with a water conditioner. Our shower and curtain were orange versus opaque and gray. After we started using this about 3 years ago all this has gone away. A simple push of the button and the unit does the rest. I have one in each of our showers / baths and just ordered one for my parents. I was informed by the manufacturer that they are no longer making the sprayer but will continue to make the solution. If you contact J&J, they will send you several coupons for a manual spray you would use at the end of the shower. No where near the convince. The sprayers are still available on line but the prices are going up. Expect a sprayer to last about a year unless you are handy and do clean outs and repairs.

It gets in the way of the flexible tubing behind a removable shower head, and isn't a substitute for cleaning your shower if you have a separate shower and tub. However, it makes cleaning the shower a simple chore that needs to be done far less often. It prevents mildew and soap scum really well, and slows mold growth a little, so there's less scrubbing involved when you finally get around to cleaning the shower.

Used daily, one dispenser bottle lasts about a month. The main drawback is the refills are expensive unless you use Amazon Pantry. I can't get them at my local stores. I can get the trigger-spray bottles for around $2 to $3 and just dump those into the automatic dispenser container, but they don't make the auto dispenser containers easy to open. If they had a better distribution network, I would add the 5th star.

My husband and I love this gadget! We've already ordered refills. We started using it after a major shower-tub clean. We had re-caulked and cleaned our fiberglass shower-tub and surround to be spotless and mildew-free. Afterward, we started using this product and have not had to clean our shower since (we hate to clean our shower-but we like it to BE clean) ! No mildew, slime or soap build-up. Beware...we loved the scent included in this starter-kit but when we re-ordered refills we got the "Refreshing Spa" scent which we do not like! We didn't realize there are difference scents from which to choose. Next time, we'll be more careful. I placed name-brand fresh batteries in the housing and have had no problems. We don't use it everyday. I plan to purchase more of these for our other bathrooms.
