Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wanted to provide a comparison of the 2 best shower heads (in my opinion): 1. Rainfall: good shower head. 6" span and nice feel. Comes with 2.5 GPM regulator separately, which people seem to not notice in the packaging. I installed first with the regulator and the shower felt OK but not impressive. I think most buyers of this shower head don't know that the regulator is the little circular peg in the separate ziplock bag, and thus never install. Most shower heads come with the regulator installed--this is unique about the Rainfall. I've attached a photo of the regulator to this review. After removing the regulator, it was VERY nice. Powerful but not uncomfortable, more of a good water massage. The only issue I had with the Rainfall was that the water was directed exactly in a cylinder the size of the shower head. There was no spreading out of the water. For some people, this is a plus. For me, I wanted a little more dispersion of the water to cover more of my body at once. 2. Moen 6302: There are 2 models of this available on the internet--retail and commercial. The commercial is metal, the consumer is more plastic. I first experienced the Moen when vacationing in San Antonio. We stayed in the Omni La Mansion del Rio on the riverwalk. I don't normally care about showers in a hotel--but this one was impressive. Very good jet, not exactly a cone but disperses more than strait forward from the jets. Covers the body well but good power--nice massage feeling. So much so that I paid attention to the shower head and even photographed it to buy for home. I wasn't disappointed. Very nice--but again, best with the regulator removed. Summary: both are single function shower heads--which I like--how often do I want to switch "modes"? Not often from prior experience. Both have very nice massaging jets but for me the differentiator was the direction of the jets. The Moen covered more area as it dispersed the jets slightly apart. The Rainfall was a pure line straight out of the jets--as a cylinder. For me, the Moen won the competition. Used by top hotel lines, it is a true winner. I'd recommend though, the commercial version for longevity.
