Agree with Dan
Disappointing color -- nearly white, not as pictured above. I chose the Biscuit color because I needed the shade pictured. When the powder is mixed with water, it appears to be the correct color but when dry it is nearly white.

Great Grout (Say that three times in a row)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent grout. It dries very hard and, from a previous use) has kept its color well. One word of CAUTION...It dries very fast and very hard. You better be ready to start sponging the grout within 15 minutes, or sooner...in 30 minutes it will have dried and will not longer be workable with a sponge. Unless you have help, I would not recommend mixing more than 1/4 to 1/3 of a bag at a time, then sponge it before mixing more.

Easy to mix and use
Overall all happy with its performance — the color on bag is not the true color so if you want a darker color of grout keep it in mind. The color is more white than the light tanish on the bag but it still looks good

All in one but work fast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Per my tile guy, this is what tilers are moving toward ... he said this stuff is much better than putting an additive with sanded/unsanded products. Looks good on backsplash and shower ... and I like that I don’t have to seal it. Best that it works on all sizes of grout lines. Color is good too. Does dry fast, so take heed of instructions and work from small batches.

Dried white!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the grout in BISCUIT. It was beautiful when first applied, however, it dried WHITE and RUINED the entire look that we were going for in our shower. (Not to mention the matching caulk came out of the tube WHITE instead of the BISCUIT color). I am unsatisfied and extremely upset that this product dried WHITE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. There's only one thing to consoder: Instructions recommend to wipe off the excess grout from the work area after 30 minutes of application. I wouldn't recommend to wait this long. It cost me too much extra work to clean the dried grout.

Strong and consistent grout
Switched to this stuff after using regular grout for years. First off it’s great to be able to use the same unsanded grout for varying spacing without worrying about cracking. Also the stuff sets up quickly so you don’t have to wait around for it before initial cleanup and shaping your lines.
Lots of people seem to complain about it but my guess is they’re new to grout or they aren’t reading the instructions completely. Don’t mix up the whole bag unless you have a helper or two! Do batches using a 3:1 -> 4:1 ratio and be consistent in measurements and mixing. Also read the notice about working in hot conditions because it really speeds it up.
After working with this stuff I don’t think I can go back to a regular grout. The joints are rock solid, sealed, and ready for light traffic in 3 hours.
