Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My little condo that was built in the 70's didn't come with very many luxury amenities so it's up to me to make life more comfortable for myself. Plus, I live in a second story unit so I don't have the luxury of easily hosing things off outside. I looked around a little before deciding on this guy. It had all the major features that were important to me - easily installed, two heads, pause feature on both heads, and power massage and strong mist and at 4-5' extension hose. The installation took less than 5 minutes and I am the least mechanically inclined person on the planet. I was really surprised at how fast and easy I was able to get it connected, and with no leaks. Be careful when you're installing it that you don't over tighten anything because you could cause it to crack. It's strong plastic under there but it's still plastic. I've had this coming up on a year now and it has never leaked and more important, the heads have not discolored from mineral build up. Which is something that is a problem in the desert southwest and has happened to almost every other fixture I've ever owned. But it still looks almost as good as new, save for a few dings I've put on it. The one thing about this old building is the water pressure is amazing. Probably because it was built before there were regulations so I am lucky enough to get a lot of water at a high rate of speed. I didn't want the pressure to be affected so I popped the little white plastic regular out of both heads. To me there is no such thing as to much pressure. In the off position a little bit still comes out but not enough to get upset about. If I wanted the water off I would turn it off at the wall. I like how each setting I can feel and hear it click into place. Especially when I'm washing my face. I don't want to open my eyes but I still want confirmation I've changed to another mode. This great for shaving your legs because you can control where the water and when you want it off. I do a lot of body scrubs and hair treatments and face washing and I don't the water running unless I'm actually using it. I love being able to control how much and when and where water is coming out. I stayed at my parent's house last weekend and was so bummed when I had to take a shower. In fact, I only ever want to shower in my own shower and it's because of how much I love my shower head. The hose makes cleaning the shower a breeze. I have no idea how people clean their tubs without some sort of hose. It hurts my back and knees to try to do it any other way. I also use the use to fill mop buckets or water containers for foot soaks. I use the power massage setting to "power wash" things will fit in my shower. I have aches and pains all the time, as well as sinus issues. The power massage setting relieves tension in my shoulders and my back and helps clear the pounding in my head when my sinuses are acting up. Sometimes I will turn on the power massager and aim it straight for my forehead and in a few minutes I start to feel the tension breaking up. But the absolute best feature is the hard mist. There is nothing so satisfying as taking a nice spa-like shower, I shave all of my legs (not just my calves) and do a hair conditioning treatment, and full body sugar scrub and then at the very end turn on both heads to the power mist with cool water. It's like the final mist at a car wash. It gets every little tiny spot of product off and when I turn the water off I feel like a new person. I didn't want to sink a ton of money into a product for a place I rent. I've tried other shower heads before and they were all crappy and either broke and leaded quickly or the heads turned green from mineral buildup. None of which has happened after 11 months of daily, sometimes twice daily use. For the money, this is hands down the best plastic shower head/hose combo I've seen. Don't be scared by the word plastic. I don't know the technical term but it's a reinforced type of plastic, like a type of PVC, that is strong and holds up quite well. Anyone who has ever showered here comments on what a great shower I have. It really is a little slice of luxury every day for less than $25. You wont find a better model in that price range.
