5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent shower head!, June 24, 2008
This review is from: Peerless 76950 2-in-1 Shower System, Chrome (Tools & Hardware)
Update on 06/16/2010: This combo showerhead has stood the test of time, we all still love it, and I just bought another one for our daughter for her new apartment (a different showerhead just won't due after using this awesome one!). Of all the things I've bought on Amazon.com, this one has to be my favorite and such a great value. Over two years of use and it still looks and works like new. So buy it, already!
Update on 06/25/08: Now that we've all had a chance to use it, everyone in the family raves about this showerhead and handheld combination! It is adjustable so it does not spray into the face, outside the tub, or onto the far wall. We all agree this creates the best shower experience we've ever had. I'm considering snagging a few additional to give as gifts (baby shower, housewarming, Christmas, birthday, etc.), and one extra for the day we install a shower upstairs. We couldn't be more pleased!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We just received and installed this showerhead today, and it is exactly the type of innovative solution we've been searching for! We are extremely pleased with its fit, functionality, design and appearance, not to mention the extremely reasonable price!
As an older arthritis and fibromyalgia sufferer, I so appreciate the ease of use, the extra-wide spray of the showerhead, the variety of adjustments, and the lightweight design of the handheld shower. It is wonderful to be able to keep the hot water coming down and keeping me warm even while using the handheld showerhead, which also cuts down on the amount of bending and reaching. The spray adjustments are perfect for us; after half a century of living, one's skin starts becoming thinner and more fragile. We don't really need or want endless settings seemingly available on other models, including "pitbull", "jackhammer", "kung-fu kick" and oh, yes.... the invigorating "needles on steroids". The handheld showerhead will make it so much easier to take a quick shower, clean and properly rinse the tub; quickly and thoroughly rinse shampoo, conditioner (and haircoloring products) from thick hair; and even wash the cat! (She thinks she's a dog, so it's OK.)
We live in an older bungalow (built in 1915) in a rural area, and I worried that the showerhead would seem out of place, but that was not the deciding factor. We have a clawfoot tub with an oval shower-rod frame suspended from above, so it was important to find a showerhead that had the features we need and would enjoy, but one that would be lightweight enough for our current shower setup. None of the local stores had anything that would work out (too big, too heavy, only a showerhead with no handheld, or only a handheld with no overhead shower.) We would have preferred a longer hose, but this five foot one will be adequate, and the price really can't be beat. Longer hoses are available on Amazon.com. For example, search for: Globe Union 72" Shower Hose white.
I really don't mind that it is made of plastic. Luxury, like money, is relative. When I was a little girl, my bathtub was a number 2 washtub in the middle of a room in a primitive homestead shack in rural Idaho. Washtub Oval 2.25 Gal By today's standards, I believe that all of Idaho at that time would be considered beyond rural. Still, it was wonderful to have a woodstove to heat the water my mother pumped by hand.
I believe that in most parts of the world today, this showerhead would be considered quite luxurious. I am thankful that I was able to afford this, I am thankful to be able to shop at Amazon.com, and I know we will thoroughly enjoy the luxury this awesome showerhead will provide.
I hope this review was helpful to you in some way, and I hope you will give this neat invention a try. I give it my highest recommendation to anyone who wants an awesome shower, especially for anyone with children to bathe, or who suffers from arthritis, fibromyalgia, limited range of motion, chronic pain, or who owns a cat that thinks she's a dog. Have a good one!
