As advertised, both in terms of installation and features/performance. It took my contractor, who is experienced and licensed in all relevant trades but who has never installed a Grohe unit or similar, about 7 hours start-to-finish including all behind-the-wall plumbing modifications and tile work. Unit looks great. Thermostatic control means much shorter time from turning water on to hitting desired temperature even though this bathroom is the farthest service point away from the water heater. Thermostatic control works great across dishwasher, washing machine, and toilet flushes elsewhere in the house, despite the fact that our rural water pressure and flow rates are on the low end of "standard".
