I must have researched dozens of hand held shower/ mounted shower combos before coming across this one. I bought a Delta faucet/ valve handle to operate the water flow and replaced the standard Delta showerhead with this shower system. This is a quality product looks and feel-wise (as it should be for close to $200). I have only had it installed in my completely remodeled bathroom for 1 month but both shower heads function really well individually as well as when they are both on together - there is no dip in shower pressure at all. I love it and highly recommend this! The only con is PP does not provide the metal flange so I had to source one separately - that took one star away for PP being cheap but they came through for every other part.

As the other reviewer said, this doesn't come with the flange or shower valve, so I just bought the cheapest one at Lowes in the same finish and gave the extra shower head away (they all come as kits). Anyway, the mechanism to change water flow between the shower heads is easy to turn and clicks into place nicely. You can have it flow from the stationary head, the handheld head or both. The water pressure in the handheld head is slightly lower than the stationary head. At first, my contractor installed it as displayed; with the slide bar attached and the handheld unit directly under it. However, the round base at the bottom of the slide bar does not screw on, instead it uses a sticky glue/tape to adhere to the tile. (So far, it's sticking very well, hasn't come off in about a month of use.) I realized the handheld would also fit into this base (although with less adjustability than putting it on the mount it's designed to be mounted on). We put this mount on the adjacent wall. So now I can have a shower coming from two directions. This is only good if you don't need the slide bar's adjustability. I just wanted this so I could have a stationary mounted head and a handheld.

The photographs imply that the water faucet/controller is part of the package; however, it is not included, and you find yourself with an incomplete looking installation.

We bought this to replace the single showerhead in an all tile shower stall. Not having to drill into the tile is a major plus! Sturdy, good looking and of good quality. Have used for about six months now and we are extremely pleased with the item. Love the three way water use and the adjustablilty. The ability to use both showerheads at the same time or just one at a time plus having the second as a handheld showerhead is a real pleasure. Recommend Highly!!!
