This showerhead delivers what it promises, a "soft and drenching rain experience". The water distribution is uniform through the 60 spray channels and there seems to be very little restraining of water happening.

The 9-inch swing arm is of good length, but could be longer. It is not very easy to adjust though. The tightening screws are not strong enough to support the weight of the arm and showerhead. You need to tighten these very hard to keep the showerhead in place, so the "arm adjusts for personalized positions" statement isn't true, unless everyone has strong hands.

Otherwise, everything is perfect. The finish is great, it looks very good, and it will make you feel like, as much as a showerhead can, under the rain.

I had previously tried Waterpik's other rain fall like showerhead the WaterPik CF-201. It was horrible, the arm wouldn't hold its place and the one I recieved had this horrible leaking problem that was probably due to its largely plastic construction.

With low expectations of the Waterpik brand, I stumbled upon this gem. The JP-130 looked a lot sturdier than their other model. Upon recieving it, my initial impressions were true, fantastic! The chromed metal gave it a distinguishably elegant look that no plastic showerhead can give. The swing arm actually, when adjusted properly actually stays where you want it! The spray pattern is a very soothing gentle stream. It doesn't pack a lot of pressurized punch like some other heads do. But I wasn't looking for that.

My only gripes if I had to point out any would be the need for possible a longer swing arm. The 9" arm is more than suitable for most people. But I'm 6'1" and it'd be nice to have a little more range. I definitely couldn't imagine having to deal with a shorter swing arm. Next, it's not really a problem, but I hope Waterpik eventually makes a newer model with an even wider head. The 60 nozzles do a pretty good job of covering my entire body if I stand still, but moving around a little puts parts of my body out of the stream. An extra 1" or 2" would be nice, an extra 3-4" in diameter would be the superb! Regardless of the other reviews, I didn't find adjusting the knobs as hard as other reviewers made it out to be, maybe it's just me? After reading what others said, I expected to give each knob my "death grip," but they didn't need it.

Overall, you simply can't beat this showerhead for money. I'm sure it's even better than more expensive showerheads. For something that people use multiple times a day, 7 days a week, it's money well spent!!!

I live in the southwest US, where the last remnants of the Colorado river's water is piped into our homes before it sludges its way into Mexico. I'm sure there's harder municipal water out there somewhere, but I've never seen it.

The showerhead installed *very* easily, and stays exactly where I put it - I don't think the head is too heavy for the leverage - even full of water. I'm pretty sure the pipes are brass and the head is chrome-plated plastic, but it looks terrific. It's been in use by three people a day for over a month and doesn't show any hard water build up. (I'm sure it will someday, and I doubt it will clean up very well, but hey, the price is right.)

Oh, and my water pressure's right at 80 PSI, so I had to unscrew the 5" black sprayer disc on the bottom from the rest of the (chrome) head and remove the restrictor (brown plastic, I think) to get a decent flow. There's a screen (white plastic, I think) on the top which didn't affect the flow, so I left that in - hey, maybe that helps the nozzles not get hard-water clogged, and taking the (lower) brown restrictor thingee out helps them get cleared (by the force of the water coming out stronger every time).

Regardless, it's clearly worth the $25.

I got this showerhead for Christmas and am really happy with it!! It's really a pleasant experience to have the water raining down on you.

I do agree with the other reveiwer that the adjustable knobs are tough to get to stay in place. But with mine anyways it stays in place while I'm using it and it's only later that it slowly lowers down. Then I just move it back into place and tighten the knobs again when I want to use it. It hasn't been any trouble so far.

I love this showerhead so much that I'm actually already looking for an even larger one!! I highly recommend these "rainfall" showerheads!!

I purchased this product for my boyfriend last week because he saw it in a store, and thought it looked like a great showerhead. I love this thing! Not only does it feel like a soft rainfall when you are taking a shower, it also feels like you are having a great head massage. This is the best showerhead I have had, and I would definitely reccommend it to others.

just bought this showerhead I have a stand -up shower built in with a pull around curtain. all other heads blow the curtain out and water on the floor. this is the one. it works great. i have a shallow well pump with 40 -60lbs of water pressure setting. my wife loves this so much i will get one for her up stairs full shower bathtub.

This shower head certainly would meet your expectation for an oversized shower head. I can't say that it is much more than that. I didn't find any trouble adjusting the arm and it holds well. The factors that make it less appealing than a true rainfall showerhead are the length of the arm and the width of the diameter. It needs to be able to extend higher and a larger diameter will definitely help. I'd say that it is a fair product for the money.

For my original review, see below.

Now almost 1 year later, still love this showerhead. The water falls like rain, but with a little extra umph. The wife still likes it, and it is more than adequate the get her hair clean. We have had no issues with durability and the arm stays right where we originally put it.

---------------------------------

After reading many of the reviews before this sounded like exactly what we were looking for. The requirements (1) rain-like waterfall, (2) reasonable flow, at least enough to rinse the water out of my wifes hair, (3) not too expensive, and (4) asthetically pleasing.

This showerhead does all of those things. After reading about many many showerheads, I was the most worried about #2 above. It seemed like most showerheads of this type were disapointing in their waterflow. Even after our first shower it was obvious that we were going to be just fine. Totally satisfied.

I got the WaterPik JP-130 to replace a shower head that was set too low for my husband. Installation was easy enough, though, we had to purchase plumber's white tape to get a good seal. Other showerheads I've purchased have come with the tape included which is why I took off one star. The arm was long enough that my husband can step under it and still have clearance from the wall. It creates a soft fall of water that I really enjoy and the head is large enough that I am actually able to wash my hair more quickly as it hits more of my hair at one tim. I've not had any problems with the thumb screws and I have been move the unit quite often so that I can shave my legs. I've loved this product so far and would definitely purchase again.

After reading all the good things about this showerhead i figured that i would try it. I had tried the Cascadia Showerhead by waterpik, but the darn thing kept falling. I am glad I found this one. The showerhead was easy to install and now i got my bf hooked on it. If you're looking for a shower head that doesn't spray too hard or too much at one time, then this is your new best friend. When I eventually get a house, this showerhead will be in every shower. This is a must have if you enjoy your showers as much as I do.
