I bought this because it was a good compromise; my husband wanted a rain-shower head, and I wanted the hand-held option.
After fining tuning the intallation with teflon tape to stop the massive leak that occurred with installation, this shower head worked like a charm. However, we have now owned the shower head for 9 months and it is falling apart. It is cracked on the side and we receive almost no water pressure from the head. It is made of plastic and is pulling apart. We have had to tape the handle together to receive any water out of the head.

There is a reason this is such a great price - my advice would be to invest a little more and you will not be shopping for a new shower head in 9 months!

Don't buy this! I regret that I didn't listen to the people who left feedbacks. The craftmanship for this item is very bad. Not only the product was made of cheap plastic, it was missing a screw too. I would not recomment this product.

This thing does not stay in place. I needed a sponge to prop it up. Also don't let the chrome finish fool ya. It's plastic all around and feels cheap. Right now this is in a box going right back where it came from. No good.

I purchased this showerhead after buying a much cheaper one that left a lot to be desired! A friend had the white version of this showerhead, and it seemed like a good fit for my shower. I bought the chrome version because I thought it would hold up better than the white one. I really like the showerhead! It is heavier than the bad showerhead I had before, but it works so much better! It is completely adjustable and stays in place without having to use any tools. I suppose that it would be tighter if I used tools; however, the package doesn't recommend it. Overall, I think this is worth buying.

I purchased this shower head on my wifes wanting one of the shower heads with the large downpour settings. I've grown fond of it myself.

The power spray works well for rinsing hair products out of hair. The downpour setting gives a gentle rainshower effect that's very relaxing and works very well for rinsing soap from the body.

If you have lower water pressure, as we do at our house, you'll want to look at the directions at the Water Pik site to remove the 2.5 gallon restricter. It will greatly increase pressure, especially on power rinse.


It is important that the swivel point connection get tightened sufficient or the head assembly will not stay up. We've had no problem once it was tightened and it's stayed fine for several weeks.

We love the downpour but the plastic holder keeps breaking. Purchased three already and the shower holder cracked again. If the holder was metal I would buy again.

Had the same experience an earlier reviewer had... the thing leaked like crazy after installation. The washer didn't want to stay in place and the two pieces didn't thread together snugly. Had to use plumber's tape to get it to stop leaking, and even then it was touchy. The worst was yet to come -- couldn't get the darn thing to hold itself upright. It's very top heavy (the head is about the size/diameter of a small pizza) and the plastic components just don't support it. It flops forward no matter what we do. That's fine for me, I'm short. For my tall husband, it's a nightmare. After about two weeks of use, the plastic piece that holds the showerhead cracked. I have to rubber band it together to keep it functioning, which prevents me from using it as a handheld. Today, I'm sporting a fat lip because the thing popped out of it's jerry-rigged holder and smacked me. Needless to say, I'm ordering something else today. It is such an inferior product I will probably never buy another WaterPik item -- suspecting they have abandoned any quality-assurance standards.

I'm extremely happy with the waterpik. I bought the hand-held and I think it works great! Just what I was looking for.

This 8" showerhead is huge and heavy, so heavy that the mounting bracket can not hold it in an upright position. A pretty poor design by WaterPik.

plastic is cheap and breaks easily.
the part you place the handle into broke after 6 months.. we arent that rough on it either.
the actual device seperated when it fell out of the broken clamp.
also - it restricts water big time. we got a new one and were amazed at how strong the water pressure could be.
go look elsewhere
