This is a great product. The hose is extra long and this comes in handy. I love the pause button. I don't feel as wasteful with water. This hand held shower has a nice force and it is easy to change the water control with the thumb switch. Handheld shower heads are wonderful and this is the best one that I have purchased and I have had several.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Shower Head!!!, April 8, 2010

I looked and looked for a hand-held shower head with a long hose. All I could find were models with 5-foot hoses. I had one with a 5-foot hose, and it wasn't long enough. I finally found this model with a 7-foot hose on Amazon, and I ordered it instantly. The faucets in our house are all Moen faucets, and I love them. Our kitchen sink has a Moen pull-out faucet, and it is the best kitchen faucet I have ever owned. Our bathroom sinks and bathtubs all have Moen fixtures, and it is a great brand. I had reservations about the plastic hose that came with this model, but after using it, I have nothing bad to say. It works perfectly and I am 100% happy with it. I was a little worried when I first installed it because the "cradle" that screws onto the pipe leaked quite a bit. I followed the directions and used the teflon tape on the threads. I unscrewed the cradle and used more teflon tape, and it still leaked. So I unscrewed it again, took off all of the teflon tape, and tried it again without any teflon tape. It didn't leak this time, and it made me happy, because I had no other ideas how to make it stop leaking. All in all, this is a great shower head and well worth the price. And the 7-foot hose is wonderful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expected a little more from Moen, January 7, 2011

This handheld shower head is a fine product. I installed it without difficulty. There is no leak and works as expected for the most part. However, I did expect a little more from Moen so in someway, I was somewhat underwhelmed.

The two main selling points of the product for me were the the 7-ft long hose and pause control. The long hose is as expected but the pause control is not. I did not expect that even when "pause" is engaged, the water flow is only reduced, not stopped. If I pause a video on a DVD player, I do expect the frame to freeze, not just slow down.

The shower head is light, apparently made of all plastic. To some people, light weight is an advantage. But I like to have the solid feeling of brass, at least the on the outer shell. So I feel that it is made a little too cheaply. As far as I can tell, the whole package including all fittings does not contain any brass parts.

The water flow from the shower head is quite weak. I would not be happy if I were to use it for my own use. But since I will use it to wash my two dogs, I am sure that they would not complain as they hate taking shower anyway.
