I switched to this low flow head and I'm happy I did. I'm was in the camp that believed low flow heads just end up making the shower longer, and the bad ones do, but this head rinses just fine. PROS: 1. Super easy to install. I unscrewed the original head and put the new one on in about a minute. Because of plumbers tape, I needed no tools. I was inebriated, which shows how easy it was. 2. The tilt on this head is super good. I have no problem changing the angle with little effort. 3. The spray options are actually useful. I often ignore all the pulse and other head options, but a few make sense. The slow /stop is great for pre-warming the output before going full. The tight hard spray is good for pounding parts like the scalp or backside. The wide spray is my standard, and is soft and nice. Steams/mists well too. Switching modes is also easy, and it's not a hard lever at all. 4. The sale price I paid $50 was a solid deal in my opinion. 5. The look is pretty nice, though you can still sort of tell it's plastic. CONS: 1. Not a biggie, but it is plastic and doesn't have a solid feel when you adjust it. However, what would stainless cost and would that attract more hard water? SUMMARY: For the price I paid, and features that work, I've been enjoying this immensely. Maybe I'm actually using the same amount of water, because I'm staying in the shower longer to enjoy it. FYI: Some report that this head doesn't have good flow. I have 60 psi and it works fine. Homes with 45 psi or lower probably shouldn't be using low flow anyways. I can still do a 3 minute shower in this just fine. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Wow! I was super impressed by this shower head! When it arrived, I was a little worried by how small the box was. It might make me think that it wouldn't work all that well. However, when I opened it, the shower head was a perfect stainless steel color and looked very crystal clear and clean. The quality of the product was spot on. I could tell this shower head was built to last! I then went to install it. Sometimes, these products scare me because they are a pain to install; however, it was surprisingly easy! It took me just a minute to easily get it onto my shower head, and it started working flawlessly. It provides excellent water flow and allows for a range of pressures to be used! Read more
This is a nice shower head. I was happy with the water flow pressure but my partner wasn’t. I removed the rubber o-ring w/mesh screen underneath (they are attached to each other) with needle nose pliers (tried a bent paper clip but that was ineffective). Next I *tried* to remove the flow restrictor with needle nose pliers but it wouldn’t budge (glued in tight I should imagine). So I then drilled a hole in the middle of the restrictor with 3/8” drill bit and voila! Shower stream is much improved. I could drill a larger hole (like 1/4”) but I don’t think it’s needed for our use. I will say that I was able to hand tighten the shower head on without leaks and without the need for plumbers tape. Some might choose to remove the o-ring/mesh screen to improve the flow but this will likely lead to leaking and you’ll then need plumbers tape. I like the different spray patterns and the “off” position simply dribbles water (it doesn’t shut off completely but greatly reduces the flow). This is good if you want to lather up and not waste water in the process. Seems well built and is an improvement over our lat shower head that only had one pattern, though good flow. I will say that a hand held shower might be a degree better (and there are nice ones on Amazon for a lower price than this unit) but overall we’re pleased. Read more
It's a good shower head for a good price. Easy to install. The different setting seem a bit useless. They don't really change much other than the number of holes the water comes out of. We have very hard water so I'm curious to see how it holds up. It looks nice. Maybe not as nice as our fancy (expensive) Grohe, but it was cheaper and it still looks good. The Grohe lasted close to 10 years before we just couldn't get the green off. At the price point of this shower head, I won't mind having to periodically replace it. Read more
Great shower head! Like the settings and the water flow. I left the regulator in and water flow is great. I also have very good water pressure throughout the house so that helps. I had a Speakman Anystream before and this is much better over all coverage while showering. Would definitely would recommend this shower head to everyone. Read more
Two weeks in and I'm loving this shower head. I had bough and "expensive" one, but I wasn't happy with it. This one had good reviews including one from Wirecutter with the NYT. It's too light to be solid metal, but it looks great anyway. It was very easy to install. I like that it's easy to move the head itself and the control for the spray. I'm short and usually have to really stain to hold on to a shower head in order to turn the selector. This one is much easier. My two favorite settings are right next to each other. One is a strong spray that's great for washing and rinsing your hair. The next is almost like a rain shower setting and it lovely. I love that it has a "pause" feature. It doesn't turn all the way off, but reduces it to a trickle. It has great pressure on the first setting and also on another that's more massage like. The others are less robust, but very nice. It's a good size overall. Not too big to overwhelm the small shower, but provides good coverage. I'm very happy with this shower head. It looks and works great so far. Read more
Weak pressure. However, I ended up getting the 5-spray H20Kinetic head. I HIGHLY recommend anything with the H20kenetic spray. It's been a game changer. This one though, unimpressive. Read more
