> 3 dayI ordered this item not knowing much about it because of the lack of information about the product the company provided besides its most basic features of 12 shower modes and 70 inch stainless steel hose. When I first opened the package I was impressed by the nice matte black finish that this shower head had compared to the single photo they have in the listing. The hose is a flexible metal conduit with a spiral type case that is actually very flexible and not stiff. Its very lightweight, it is made of metal, but I almost would say it isnt steel and made of aluminum, but I could be wrong as there really wasnt a way to check without deconstructive testing. But nonetheless its metal which is nice compared to stiffer plastic and vinyl types that dont have the same durability as well. Its shower arm mount and holder are also made of metal which is fantastic for tightening it without worrying about it cracking. Again I think its aluminum by my judgement of the weight of it but better than plastic by a far margin. It fits the standard 1/2 inche shower arm diameter as well so no worries about affixing it to your standard shower arm. The holder is also attached to a ball mount so you can adjust the angle of the stream while the head is docked on the holder to some degree. The head fits pretty firmly in place when on the mount and stayed put during my use and testing. Also included was a small roll of PTFE Teflon tape which wasnt mentioned so no need to make a trip to the hardware store to get some if you dont have any handy at home to ensure a water tight seal at the main connection. It states that it comes with spare rubber washers, but mine only included the three needed to install the unit initially. They are inexpensive if needed in the future anyway, but its worth noting. Also a highlight of the shower head is that it has a removable flow restrictor so you can maximize your water pressure, though at the cost of using more water. It came floating loose in the box and the instructions do not show how to install the flow restrictor when assembling the shower head. My best guess was it fits directly where the shower head attaches to the hose as it didnt seem to fit anywhere else, but I decided to not use it and get maximum pressure. It has 12 different modes you can select by twisting the head face by a small lever thats at the lower part of the shower head. They vary from what is nearly a direct stream to a full on shower experience. The water pressure was definitely higher than my last stationary shower head, so no complaints there. The shower head itself is made from plastic. The apparatus spins smoothly and the finish matches the metal hose and holder very well. There is a large button on the handle that will turn the flow of water off when pressed and back on when pressed again so you can pause the stream any time you want without having to turn the water off and on at the shower controls during your shower. Installation was fairly easy and basic, I tightened the joints hand tight using the Teflon tape on the shower arm only and there were no leaks when using. The included instructions show a step by step pictorial and besides the omission of the flow restrictor they were adequate. Though they dont show operating instructions, its a fairly easy concept on how to use. Overall I would definitely recommend this shower head for its quality and functionality especially for what you get in the same price range.

> 3 dayIts lightweight and easy to handle. But thats because the quality is lacking. Its nothing compared to name brand ones, like Delta, etc. Also the lightweightedness also causes it to not really hold in place in the holder, because the hose will pull at it. I hope the hose will loosen up after its broken in. It works as it should for now. I dont expect it to last really long. It does have a lower price though than others. I would wait for a better quality and brand to go on sale if quality is what youre looking for. Otherwise, it works for what its supposed to do and it comes with the hose, which is a plus. Some only come with the Head piece.

> 3 dayInstallation was simple and all connections work without leaks. It seems like its well made and should last a long time. All of the settings work well and provide a nice variety. A wide range of water pressure settings as well. Nice and gentle on some settings and good pressure on others. The sleek matte black finish fits into my bathrooms motif. I am completely happy with the shower head.

> 3 dayOkay, my title sounds really negative. Its true I dont like most of the modes but I like this showerhead overall. Its just one of those personal preference things, but in my opinion, most of the modes arent particularly great. There are a couple good showering modes that I totally love but the other 10 I could do without. The fit and finish on this is excellent, far above what you expect at this price point. Its an attractive stainless finish that I really couldnt tell wasnt real metal. The fitment of the wand into the holder is very secure, not loose or wobbly like some I have owned. Additionally, the hose itself is very flexible and doesnt interfere at all with the placement or function of the wand - which is something I have had an issue with on several other showerheads, even expensive name-brand units. I am 90% happy with this but theres no 4.5 star rating. I just wish there was a massaging mode that felt good on my shoulders.

> 3 dayMy first impression of this shower head was how supple and lithe the hose is. None of the other hoses in my showers are that supple. Next, the size of the shower head was wider than I had anticipated which was fine. The instructions are thorough and, sometimes, almost oratorical. Thats fun. Instructions were in English only. The calcification buildup at the shower arm was extensive and the instructions emphasized removing it to mitigate leaks. That was the most time consuming part of the installation but there were no leaks. A sufficient amount of Teflon tape is included. Under test, I tried it without the flow restrictor (which is included) and then opted for installing the flow restrictor, which limits flow to 1.8gal per minute at max80pi. I found 3 settings that I really liked and will probably use the most. This shower head is a considerable improvement over my former shower head. All that said, not everyone in the household is as enamored as I with it.

> 3 dayThe large head should provide wider water dispersion than the narrower one this will replace. It feels solid. There is a button on the head for selecting the pattern you want...seems easier than having to turn the whole head. It looks well made and all necessary parts for hook up are included. Recommended !!

> 3 dayOur water pressure is not as good as it should be, but we do not notice that with this new showerhead! It makes it seem like we have plenty of water pressure and this makes for an extremely enjoyable shower experience. It was easy to install and now that theres a hand held in the family shower, it will be so much easier to clean! Everyone loves it. Makes the bathroom look great!
