Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband installed this in our master bath a week ago. Is it an overstatement to say it's the most wonderful thing to come into my life since my children? Will readers cease to take me seriously if I do my imitation of Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally"? But really, it's just that incredible. It's a *great* product, and given the current price (less than $300 at the present time) it's a wonderful, reasonably affordable luxury. The shower panel is well-made and very attractive. Though it looks complicated, my husband (very handy, former kitchen contractor with decent plumbing knowledge) installed it in a short period of time. If you need a pro to install it, maybe you shouldn't be intimidated about it being super-expensive, because this isn't a huge job (so if they tell you it is... you can invoke my claims here). He did have to open up the wall behind the bathroom, but we were doing that anyway because of other renovations. I bought this based on the excellent reviews I read here, so I just want to add a few things that I didn't catch in other reviews: 1) Both showerheads and the screen have lights that turn blue and then orange based on whether the water is cold or hot. The circle of lights on the rainfall showerhead flashes constantly. I am very sensitive to annoying lights, so that worried me more than a little, but I rarely even see these because they're over my head, so it works out fine. 2) All eight of the jets down the front DO operate at once when on the farthest-to-the-right setting. They individually adjust to either a "jet" or "mist" setting. Warning about the "mist": this is soft and relaxing if you turn down the pressure (i.e., push in the handle to lessen the force of the water). If I go straight from rainfall showerhead to "mist" on the top jets, it's exactly like the time I got a Mystic Tan and the force of the tanning mist almost knocked me into the opposite wall. If you haven't had a Mystic Tan, imagine you are a bug being chased with a can of Raid. But that's user error, not a problem with the shower panel. 3) You can indeed trick the panel into doing "rainfall showerhead" and "top four jets" at once by toggling the control between the two settings. It works, but the pressure is lower for both. However, since a couple of people have mentioned water pressure as a general concern, I have no problem at all with this. 4) Yes, there seems to be no way to change the temp readout to Fahrenheit, but who cares. Apparently I like my shower at 42 degrees Celsius, and that's all I need to know. If it says 38 I will be unhappy. I can remember those two numbers and do not find myself stupefied by the Metric readout. 5) I have no idea what that button just below the temp screen does. It seems to do nothing, but I am not 100% sure about this. Is it meant to set a preference? Change the Metric/English setting? Call flying monkeys, or a butler with a hot towel? It is doing none of these things. So, I enthusiastically recommend this product. It will help with your stress level, brighten your day, cause your hair to be better rinsed and improve your social life as your friends start coming over with lame excuses to take showers at your place. Also, when I enthused about it on Facebook, a friend said she once dated a guy for his shower. It must have been this shower. I would marry for this shower.
