Works for me March 8, 2010
Spike (MetroWest Boston, MA)
You can't beat the price, if this is what you're looking for. The quality is adequate, etter than the price would imply.
My son is 6'4", so he needed something with an extension arm to make it high enough. I figured re-plumbing the arm wouldn't be much cheaper and definitely harder and riskier, too.
He likes it, so I'm happy. He said he used to spend so much time in the shower because he would turn around and around trying to stay warm. He does spend less time in the shower, but I think it is due in part to the motion sensor/timer I put on the light. :) When the light goes out, he knows he's been in ten minutes, and he can wave his hand outside the shower for another ten minutes of light, but he needs to start thinking about getting out.
One more thing: I figured if he didn't like the shower head, I could put his old head on the extension (I've done this with another brand), but that is not an option. As I said, though, it's not a problem either.
good showerhead for the money March 6, 2010

I had one just like this before but our water basically wore it out. It has nice pressure and a good stream. My in-laws really like it when they come to visit . As the title implies it's a good showerhead for the money.
If I could replace the head it would be perfect. But it's still good. March 4, 2010

I bought this because it was inexpensive and I thought I might be able to replace the head if it wasn't quite what I wanted. Well, the head is pretty generic and I would like to upgrade it (continuing to use the nice extension), but that doesn't work. Still, if you are OK with a plain vanilla spray, this is an excellent value.
Pros:
--All metal and seems well-made (some similar models are reported to be flimsy plastic).
--Easy to install (good thing, since there are no directions).
--Gentle flow with good coverage for one person (with flow limiter still in).
Dimensions:
--Pivot-to-pivot = 8.5"
--Max extension (from original pipe to center of shower head) = 11"
--Shower head diameter = 3.5"
Cons:
--The main con for me, and maybe others, is that you can't remove the shower head and replace it with another head. It does not have a standard fitting at the shower head end. Yes, the picture looks like it does, but it doesn't. So if you are getting this as an inexpensive extension for a fancier head, you'll be disappointed. Which is a shame because it's a pretty good extension at less than half the cost of some extensions by themselves.
--If that's not an issue for you, there really are no cons unless you're looking for a pummeling spray (which might be available if you remove the limiter, but I haven't tried that).
Other:
--Both pivots rotate in the same plane. Up and down (unless you install it at an angle, and then only in that plane). Not really a con, since the head does rotate, but not quite "all-directional."
--The 2 up-down pivots are easy to adjust (firm thumb and finger pressure are sufficient to loosen and tighten) but my sense is that they may be the weak points (or maybe the leak points) if your family adjusts them a lot. OTOH, who cares if they end up leaking a bit? You're taking a shower, after all. I haven't had any trouble, so this is just a guess.
Very good but not great March 3, 2010

I didn't realize how small the shower head was going to be when I bought it (no affect on the rating), but it isn't much larger than a standard handheld shower head. The pressure is fairly good, but when I remove all of the restrictors, it puts out so much water that my shower can't drain fast enough. The pivot points leak slightly but it's barely noticeable. I love that the head rotates with ease, and how easy it is to adjust the height. If you want to conserve water, this probably isn't the showerhead for you. Otherwise, for the price, you really can't top it.
Good with some notes March 2, 2010

For the price, this is a good unit. Easy to install, works as advertised. In the packaging I received, the restrictor is separate from the shower unit. It does not come pre-installed, which is fantastic.
The reason this unit only gets four stars instead of five has to do how it connects up with the shower pipe. The base does not rotate around the pipe, which means depending on how the thread of the pipe and connector meet, you might end up with a shower head that sticks out in a strange direction, rather than up or down.
Additionally, if you attempt to avoid this by not tightening the fixture up completely, at some point the unit (during operation of the shower) will begin to spin about around the pipe uncontrollably, spewing water across the entire bathroom. This is especially funny if it happens not to you, but to one of your roommates.
