I purchased this showerhead as a lower priced alternative to the well reviewed JP-130. After six weeks, I am satisified with its performance. It rinsed much better than smaller showerheads. The adjustable arm also gave my low pipe outlet an extra six inches of height, finally allowing me to rinse without bending down. There are three joints- a vertical head, a vertical arm, and a circular base pivot. It allows for a wide range of rinsing positions.

What makes it a four star instead of five. Normal water pressure with most showerheads results in sharp streams in this model, but the solution is as simple as turning down the faucet. Also, the tightness adjustment knob adjusts both arm and base pivots. So you can only adjust both at the same time. Not a big deal as I found a good setting for both.

Bottom line- great price and design. Recommended.

I have owned this shower head for about four months. I liked it for the first month or so, there was a very noticeable change in feel of the way the water hit my body. There is a good amount of water that comes out and it feels soothing and very evenly spread, way better than the shower head I originally had.

However, if you need to adjust it often, then the joints don't hold too well. In my house, we are short and tall, so it is constantly adjusted. Now water squirts out of the joint where it is moved higher or lower. Also, the holes where the water exits the shower head get clogged. I have to get a needle to unplug two or three of the holes every week or so.

We have a "closet shower", which made it difficult to get out of the way of the water spray (not to mention having water spray out the door). We picked up this neat little shower head, and we're much happier now. You can avoid the water more easily (for shaving, washing body, etc.), and since it aims straight down, no more turning the shower head all the way to the side to avoid it going right out the door. It's inexpensive, and has made our shower experience much better. I definitely recommend it.

I was very impressed with this product's performance. It provides a widespread, powerful spray. I was concerned that this shower head would only provide a gentle downpour, but rest assured it has plenty of power. I would have given this product a 5 star rating if the entire apparatus had been metal. However, only the valve hookup is metal and the rest is 'chromed' plastic. Overall a GREAT buy at 12 dollars.

I bought this shower head because the fitting and original shower head in my apartment is only about at my nose level, (and I am only 5'10) So something had to be done.

This item is nice, adjustable, easy to install and reliable. Be aware: It is very flexible cheap feeling plastic and not metal. I sometimes feel like I will break it, but I have had no problems since I got it and the price is right.

All plastic.
You cannot angle the head.
We were not happy with this, overall.

By replacing the low flow washer with a standard, the pressure was good. This shower head's main downfall was the fact is is plastic and you can't angle the head in any direction other than on plane with the pipe.

Nice flow from the shower head, but the entire assembly is made with plastic and very fragile. It broke within a few months of purchase and is not repairable. Buyer beware, spend some more bucks for one made of metal.

My boyfriend and I just bought this showerhead for our new apartment, and we love it. It provides a gentle rainshower experience without being TOO gentle - it doesn't take forever to rinse shampoo out of your hair, like I experienced with a different "rainfall" showerhead. The water pressure and width of the spray is perfect. Another added plus is the arm that lets you adjust the height and angle of the showerhead - my boyfriend is over 6 feet tall and now he doesn't have to crouch down to rinse his hair anymore. It was also very easy for him to install - he didn't even need plumber's tape. This is a high-quality product for a very reasonable price.

There really isn't anything special about it. It's a cheap plastic showerhead with a small arm. There isn't anything called a "rain" setting, it's just jets of water.

This is nice enough to replace the crappy showerhead that came with our apartment, but is nothing stellar. Since it is plastic, it feels a bit fragile, but has yet to come apart on us. I wouldn't describe it is as a "rainfall" spray (especially after having another more awesome but more expensive rainfall showerhead), but it has a nice, no-frills spray. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, but want something a little more, this is a good option.
