This guide builds on the piece of work of Sabrina Imbler, who spoke (on the phone and in person, at the gargantuan Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas) with product managers (the folks who oversee every aspect of a showerhead, from design and technology to materials, manufacture, and quality control) at Moen, Kohler, Delta, Toto, and High Sierra. It also builds on the piece of work of senior staff writer Tim Heffernan, who spent months testing showerheads for the 2016 version of this guide and met with manufacture reps at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Evidence (KBIS). The guide's longtime editor, Harry Sawyers, has written virtually how a domicile's shower works, and he has interviewed lots of people in the bath-fixture business on trips to KBIS and to the International Builders' Show over the past 15 years. He returned to IBS/KBIS in Jan 2020, on the hunt for new showerheads to test for this guide. Editor Joshua Lyon met virtually with manufacture reps at IBS/KBIS in February 2021, interviewed Moen's director of industrial blueprint, and spent iv months showering with our previous picks and testing new models.

Renters tin and should upgrade a showerhead—only save the erstwhile one and put it back in when you lot move out. (Homeowners, you already know yous can upgrade.) Here's a video on how to install a showerhead, which is a job nosotros believe y'all can do even if you've never picked up a wrench.

Investing in a showerhead may seem like a splurge. But a good showerhead, with a gushing, steady spray of evenly heated water under any pressure, will significantly ameliorate your daily routine. And whatsoever good showerhead is likely to be an upgrade over what you inherited when you moved in. You lot may not know how bad your showerhead is. Equally this guide's original author, Sabrina, put it, "Before writing this guide, I didn't realize I'd been living with an uneven and sparse spray and a ring of cold mist encircling a too-hot middle. I hate that showerhead now." Our picks volition probably make yous hate your old showerhead too.

A selection of showerheads tested for our review of the best showerheads.

Across the basic categories of fixed and handheld (the former being the ane mounted up on the wall, and the latter the one with a hose that you tin pick up, aim, and spray where you need to), the world of showerheads presents an abundance of aesthetic choices. Showerheads accept multiple forms (rectilinear, curvilinear, exotic) and styles (traditional, transitional, contemporary), and every brand advertises unique spray technologies with obscure trade names. Merely all showerheads should, at the very to the lowest degree, deliver a satisfying, consistent spray using any h2o pressure or showerhead acme. We set out to nowadays both fixed and handheld options, and nosotros narrowed the field to xviii finalists that met the following criteria.

  • Meets electric current regulations: We considered only those showerheads with a h2o period of less than or equal to ii.five gallons per minute (gpm), the federally mandated menses rate. In 2018, California reduced the maximum showerhead gpm from 2.0 to 1.8. Colorado has like restrictions, and other states are adopting them besides. We sought models that are bachelor everywhere.
  • Includes multiple spray patterns: A rain-shower spray should be wide enough to drench and envelop your entire trunk. A massage spray should target sore muscles or apace rinse shampoo. (We made exceptions for the Loftier Sierra and the Nebia past Moen because their solo spray options serve a specific purpose.)
  • Piece of cake to use and handle: In about multifunction showerheads, a spray dial sets the spray pattern. Settings should exist clear and easy to adjust, peculiarly while the water is pouring out. For handheld models, the head should mount and disassemble easily and securely, and it should never autumn out unexpectedly.
  • Installs in minutes: Yous should need an adaptable wrench and some Teflon tape, and ideally nothing else; this ruled out options that required drilling or mounting hardware. (This is some other item we waived for the Nebia past Moen—installation takes a chip longer, but it's simple and the additional parts are all included.)
  • Has positive reviews: When it comes to showerheads, people's subjective impressions are important, and we took find of any models with a high volume of client satisfaction.
  • Aesthetically pleasing: We sought showerheads with a sleek and understated await that could fit into all styles of bathrooms.
  • Easy to clean: Scale-resistant silicone or polymer nozzles let you simply rub them clean with your hand, an improvement over more than-clog-decumbent plastic or metallic nozzles.
  • Reliable: We considered showerheads from major manufacturers and smaller companies, weighing things similar warranties, customer back up, and availability of replacement parts.

We showered. A lot. We used each showerhead nosotros tested at to the lowest degree three times, and we probably used our finalists more than 10 times in stricter, back-to-back tests. Beyond ii particularly moisture days, Sabrina took more than twenty showers, installing a new showerhead each time. 2 of Sabrina'southward roommates also took their regularly scheduled showers with each showerhead and reported their observations and comparisons.

Aside from taking notes on the experience of the spray, we noted how piece of cake each head was to install, whether there was any leakage, how it felt to conform the settings, and how clunky or sleek the head looked in our bathrooms.

Our judgments of performance were necessarily subjective. But our concerns boiled down to this: Does the showerhead experience expert and work well? If so, how does information technology compare to the rest?

Our pick, the Kohler K-22169-CP Forte Multifunction in operation, with water spraying from the showerhead face.

Our choice

Kohler 22169-G-CP Forte Multifunction Showerhead

In our tests, the Forte'south three spray settings—a generous, soaking rain-shower spray; a narrow, pulsating massage spray; and a drenching fine spray—felt denser, more powerful, and more pleasant than settings on other showerheads we tested. Its coverage likewise felt fuller than that of other showerheads nosotros tested, thanks in office to a design that aerates the droplets, making them larger, softer, and warmer.

Unlike the sprays of other showerheads nosotros tested, which often felt sparse and thin, the Forte's spray enveloped the unabridged body in a lush drenching that felt like concentric circles of silky ropes battering at our backs.

The Forte's 3 spray settings—a soaking rain-shower spray, a pulsating massage, and a gentle aerated rinse—felt denser and more luxurious than those of other showerheads. Video: Sarah Kobos

The Forte'southward rain-shower setting delivers a solid cone of water that soaks every inch. Another setting is a dense, fine spray that envelops you in something like a cloud of warm water, while being plenty strong enough to rinse lather and shampoo away. A narrow, pulsing massage setting gave our backs a existent thumping (enough to work on some of the knots we've accumulated later working from home for the by year).

The Forte was notably piece of cake to rotate and conform afterward installation. Y'all tin spin its spray-setting dial with only one hand—easier than on models (such every bit the Flipside) that crave 2 hands to switch settings. That's useful for anyone, only especially for people who have express movement in their arms and shoulders.

Like most fixed showerheads, the Forte is like shooting fish in a barrel to install: Y'all simply unscrew your quondam model and spiral in this 1. And every bit with many new models, if the Forte's spray face up clogs with limescale, y'all can run your fingertips firmly beyond the flexible spout tips to remove whatsoever buildup.

A notable detail about this model's predecessor, the 10284 (a now-discontinued former recommendation in this guide): We counted 47 Amazon reviews written by people who used this showerhead in certain hotels, such equally the Holiday Inn Express chain and the Yosemite Valley Club, and they loved information technology then much they ordered one for use at home after the visit. Kohler confirmed this partnership, which speaks to the powers of this showerhead: People tried it, realized they couldn't live without it, and actually took the time to track downwards the model. In the words of reviewer Roger T: "Kind of weird being and then enthusiastic about a shower head but it is actually good."

Flaws just not dealbreakers

The Forte has simply iii spray patterns. You can go more with some other showerheads. Merely nosotros found these oftentimes blended into each other and were individually less impressive than the Forte's iii singled-out options.

Our upgrade pick, the Moen Attract showerhead.

Upgrade choice

Moen Attract Magnetix Chrome Rainshower Combo 26008

The Moen Attract Magnetix Chrome Rainshower Philharmonic 26008 is the luxury SUV of showerheads: huge and powerful. The 1.75-gpm model's six spray settings meet almost every possible showering need, and its hand shower connects (and disconnects) more than easily than those of its competitors. But, as with all handhelds, the dangling hose takes up space and will block some shower caddies.

Between its pelting-shower and handheld settings, the 26008 too offers every possible shower feel, including pulsating, massage-like sprays; drenching rain-shower sprays; gentler, wavy ones; effusive mists; and the traditional concentric rings of a silky, ropelike spray. The 26008's massage setting was the most powerful nosotros tested. The primary, six¾-inch caput is more than wide plenty to provide an enveloping waterfall, while the handheld'southward 3¾-inch head has higher-pressure sprays that can easily clear out shampoo. The variety is infrequent, which is slap-up for larger households with dissimilar preferences. But after using this model for a couple of weeks, we plant ourselves going back to just a few settings. And even that's across the norm. We asked Jason Symeon, the company'south manager of industrial design, if there's an optimal number of settings when they're brainstorming new designs. He said, "Our research has told united states of america that a lot of people set [a showerhead] to their favorite experience and leave information technology there."

The Moen 26008's secure magnetic dock snags the head when it comes within inches of the connection point—far easier than other designs. Video: Sarah Kobos

Unlike with stock-still showerheads, the 26008's detachable handheld head can rinse every corner, to make clean the shower or launder kids or a dog. The 26008'southward handheld has a 5-foot flexible stainless steel hose (almost 6 feet with the handheld head included) and thus avoids kinks (like y'all get with cheaper plastic hoses). And the 26008'due south magnetic docking system was the best of any nosotros tested, with a divide omnidirectional socket and stiff magnets (which snagged the handheld when it came within inches of the connection betoken). Other docks (like the Kohler Converge and the Delta In2ition) required a lot more than fiddling to make the magnetic connection work.

The 26008 has a pause/trickle push that lets you stop h2o period while y'all exercise other things in the shower that don't require water, such as shaving. This saves water, and information technology retains your current temperature setting (which won't happen if y'all turn the shower off with the faucet handle).

The exceptional variety of settings and the versatility of a handheld unit of measurement brand the Moen 26008 slap-up for larger households with different showering needs. Video: Sarah Kobos

Despite its complex appearance, the 26008 installs equally hands as traditional showerheads. You simply connect the fixed showerhead, and and then attach the handheld via the hose. This isn't unique to the 26008, simply many hand showers require the installation of a wall-mounted slider bar or holster—lots of piece of work for no appreciable gain in functioning.

Our upgrade pick shower head, the Kohler Freespin Bellerose.

Also keen

Kohler Freespin Bellerose 3-Spray Dual Showerhead Combo

The Kohler Freespin Bellerose three-Spray Dual Showerhead Combo features two showerheads that can rotate 360 degrees, like the easily of a clock. Upon first glance, the design seems a fleck gimmicky, but the Freespin's supreme versatility became immediately articulate subsequently installation. The handheld stays firmly locked in identify via magnet as y'all maneuver the device into your desired positions. And each showerhead is cradled in a pivoting ball and socket, so you can aim the water menstruation from both heads in any direction. On your first outing with the Freespin, plan to take a leisurely shower so you can play around with all the adjustments, and try not to think about how you look like a naked WWII radio operator. Or do! Shower time is your time.

You spin me right 'round, infant. Video: Michael Hession

The endless possibilities for spray directions and coverage that the Freespin offers are platonic for households with people of varying heights and sizes. Broad shoulders? Turn the Freespin to be horizontal and adjust the heads outward. Tall and skinny? Position the Freespin to be vertical, with both of the heads tilted slightly down. Or don't listen to any of this advice and fix the sprays nonetheless y'all want. The Freespin is all almost choices.

The Freespin'due south wide coverage spray (shown here) becomes double wide when yous're using both showerheads at once. Photo: Michael Hession

Each 5¼-inch caput has three unlike spray options—broad coverage, massage, and a silk spray (as well every bit a pause setting)—calculation up to a total of 15 unlike menstruation combinations. The silk spray was a pleasant surprise; it felt feather-soft and lite on the face, yet it was satisfyingly full and potent enough to rinse shampoo from hair. A center knob switches water flow to either the handheld or the fixed mountain—or to both at one time. If you don't read the instructions, locating the diverter knob isn't intuitive since information technology looks similar an unassuming part of the hardware'due south connecting rail. We appreciate subtle design, merely the switch is easy to miss. In fact, we saw ane review that bemoans the Freespin's lack of a flow-swapping option.

Virtually showerheads that divert between fixed and handheld outputs experience a significant decrease in h2o pressure once both heads are in utilize. But the difference in the Freespin was barely noticeable and quickly forgotten, especially compared with the many models nosotros dismissed. We saw a few reviews from consumers who experienced a drastic modify in pressure when both heads were running. Based on our tests, however, nosotros believe they likely received a damaged model (the Freespin comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which might come in handy if annihilation happens across Home Depot'south return policy). The complaints might also speak to the subjective nature of testing showerheads. Plumbing can vary as much equally preference.

Installing the Freespin is equally easy every bit installing the Moen 26008: Simply connect the fixed portion of the runway to your existing pipe, and then attach the handheld via the 5-foot hose. Its design is so elegantly simple that it's a wonder nosotros haven't seen one similar information technology before. We are excited to see how Kohler continues to improve on this clever new take.

Too swell

Nebia by Moen

It'due south important to note up front the people the Nebia by Moen is not for: fans of thumping massage settings and (according to Moen'due south own literature) folks with hot-water heaters that can't reach and maintain a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. If this doesn't depict your predilection or circumstance, and you love steam rooms but wish the warm, soothing vapor also had enough downward forcefulness to properly bathe in, the surprisingly easy-to-mountain Nebia by Moen N207C0 shower organisation is worth the price. And it'due south far cheaper than a professional spa-style bathroom renovation.

The Nebia started out as a Kickstarter campaign (ane of the cofounders is a former Apple engineer), before Moen partnered with the company. The shower works by atomizing water as it's expelled from the 7.9-inch rain shower. 6 nozzles turn the aerosol into a fine mist, with a much wider range of coverage than you get with a standard showerhead. So even though information technology feels like you're using more water, you're actually using less because the aerosol are smaller.

To minimize estrus loss, the water is ejected extremely fast. But there's a natural degree of cooling that happens equally aerosol motility through the air, and the outcome is more than dramatic with droplets of this infinitesimal size. This is why it'due south and so important to brand sure your hot-water system can maintain a minimum degree of heat—otherwise, your bathroom could devolve into the chilly, misty atmosphere of a noir picture, sans the cozy trench coat. The temperature requirement also means that if you like extremely hot showers, the initial ejection of water from the nozzles tin can experience downright uncomfortable for about the showtime quarter-inch. But since no showerhead is designed so that you lot press your skin directly against the surface, we oasis't found this to be an issue.

The mist feature on the Nebia by Moen showerhead, our pick for an at-home spa experience.

Spray misty for me! The Nebia by Moen turns showers into a steam bath. Photo: Moen

The rain-shower height is vertically adjustable—a whopping 17 inches—and glides smoothly along the bracket, stopping exactly where you desire it to. The round rain shower pivots left and right. It likewise tilts upwards so you can angle the menses outward (like with a standard showerhead) or accept the menstruum cascade downward from above (equally though it's installed in the ceiling). The wand sits on a half-globe magnetic dock, then you can bending the two additional sprays anywhere on your body, for even more coverage. The wand spray turns on and off, but there'southward no option for using just the wand with no rain shower. We've seen complaints near this, since it ways you tin can't apply but the wand to, say, launder a domestic dog. Just we don't think this is a showerhead one would buy with that job in mind to begin with. Regardless, if you try the Nebia and decide it'southward not for you lot, Moen offers a thirty-day money-back guarantee.

Installation looks rather daunting, but information technology'due south a literal snap: The bracket clicks into place on a base of operations that holds firm confronting the shower wall (with a foursquare of strong 3M adhesive); ditto for the wand dock. There'due south merely one part of the process that might seem intimidating for someone who's never worked on in-the-walls domicile improving: You need to remove the entire shower neck, so after unscrewing it with a wrench, yous'll be peering into a minor pigsty in your shower wall. So you insert the included installation key—basically a metal ruler that doubles as a tightener—until it meets resistance from the pipe inside. The letter showing on the central just exterior the inlet indicates which of the included adapters to insert and tighten, with the adapter at present serving as the new outlet for water running into the Nebia system. This handy video walks you through the process. Starting from when we opened the box, installation took us just over 30 minutes. And nosotros had no difficulties. Only nosotros wish the didactics manual would move an essential line from Step 8 to the very outset, in order to atmosphere excitement: "For optimal agglutinative forcefulness, allow to cure 24 hours before showering." If y'all'd like to move the Nebia to a unlike location after it has been installed, piece of work loose (using a plastic putty knife) the agglutinative under the mounted fixtures, and order a $half dozen replacement adhesive disc. If the former adhesive leaves whatsoever residue behind, you lot may need some Goo Gone.

Additional installation requirements (like the minimum altitude required from your existing shower outlet to the ceiling) are detailed on Moen's website. A bathroom fan (or an operable window) is an advisable prerequisite besides. The first time nosotros showered with the Nebia, we forgot to plow on a fan, and we witnessed actual rivulets winding downwards the walls afterward. (Running the fan solved the effect.)

We know these are a lot of warnings, constraints, and "buts" for a Wirecutter product recommendation. Nosotros chose to include the Nebia past Moen anyway because this system, for a specific type of shower enthusiast with the appropriate existing circumstances, creates a luxurious, steamy spa paradise like no other—unless you're willing and able to take out a dwelling house-improvement loan.

Our low flow pick, the High Sierra 1.5 GPM High Efficiency Low Flow Showerhead.

Likewise great

High Sierra 1.5 GPM High Efficiency Low Flow Showerhead

For a very low-flow model, the High Sierra 1.5 GPM High Efficiency Depression Flow Showerhead has a spray and then lush information technology seems impossible: It's full and powerful, fifty-fifty compared with those of some 2.5-gpm showerheads. The High Sierra offers but one spray design, but we plant that its drenching, heavy droplets were more than adequate to rinse out shampoo.

The Loftier Sierra feels nothing like a low-menstruum showerhead. In fact, it feels luxurious, soaking you entirely in heavy droplets, with no blank patches or cold mist. According to David Malcolm, Loftier Sierra's founder and designer, traditional showerheads separate water into discrete mini-streams via a constellation of nozzles. Merely to brand the mini-streams feel effective, those showerheads rely on a high book of h2o at a high pressure level. Inspired by his groundwork as a nozzle manufacturer for agricultural irrigation, Malcolm instead created a nozzle that breaks a low-pressure stream of h2o into heavy, coarse droplets.

The low-catamenia Loftier Sierra showerhead feels luxurious, with a drenching, powerful spray. But its single (strong) setting may be overwhelming for some people. Video: Sarah Kobos

In practice, that ways the Loftier Sierra's spray feels a little less orderly but significantly more drenching than the other low-menstruation heads nosotros tested. The Loftier Sierra's spray even felt more powerful than the rain-shower setting on some two.five-gpm Kohler models we tested. But the High Sierra'due south unmarried spray setting may exist a bit strong for some people, and if you don't like it, there's no way to adjust it.

The High Sierra'due south metal ball joint ensures the caput pivots smoothly in any management. Photo: Sarah Kobos

The High Sierra lacks fine silicone nozzles that tin exist rubbed with a finger to get rid of scale, simply Malcolm says its wide passageway generally eliminates the effect. Several Amazon reviews from longtime owners seem to confirm this showerhead's resistance to scale. If you lot practise encounter scaling or a clog, the visitor suggests removing and soaking the showerhead in white vinegar for a few hours.

When we concluding updated this guide, we noticed during testing that the High Sierra had a more than-aural sound than your typical showerhead. We brushed it off—dissonance rarely comes upwardly in the High Sierra'south reviews. But a friend of Tim's who suffers from mild tinnitus besides tried this showerhead and told us he found the sound to be "a flake uncomfortable." This time effectually we paid closer attention to the sound while testing. It nevertheless didn't bother whatsoever of our users, only nosotros did find other complaints most this showerhead being loud. If you lot have highly sensitive ears, the High Sierra is probably non the all-time selection for you lot.

Kohler volition exist calculation two new models to its Freespin line this yr, and we programme to test them. From the big-proper name brands, we're also noticing a trend of showerheads with extras built in, like Bluetooth speakers, aromatherapy, and Alexa compatibility. Let us know in the comments if you're interested in having u.s.a. test these tricked-out showerheads for a standalone guide.

In 2020, Delta debuted an internal-components design chosen UltraSoak in some of its new showerheads; Delta claims this technology sculpts aerosol in a way that imitates a "dense rainfall sensation." We were impressed with the thickness of the spray on the H2OKinetic UltraSoak 52460, but unfortunately, there but isn't enough of it. The showerhead creates such full and forceful droplets that the empty center infinite within the spray is frustratingly noticeable and creates the shower equivalent of biting into the hollow finish of an ice cream cone. Too, given that this showerhead retails for over $100, the handle that toggles between settings felt shockingly flimsy. Disappointed as we were, should Delta figure out a method that gets UltraSoak to experience every bit powerful from every single hole, for complete body coverage, our top fixed-mount pick might have a serious contender.

Our previous upgrade pick, the combination Delta In2ition 58480, performed poorly in 2019, 2020, and 2021 tests confronting other models. Its spray patterns were disappointing—the fixed head provided an unpleasantly sparse halo, and the other settings felt weak. This is no dubiousness due to the issues we had installing the showerhead in 2019: No thing how much Teflon tape we wrapped effectually the threads or how tightly we wrenched the caput, information technology leaked at the connection point. Nosotros tested a dozen other showerheads and never had this problem. In the years since we final tested a new 58480, its reviews have dipped, with a pattern of complaints about leaks and others that criticize the showerhead's low water pressure. Newer reviews are more positive, simply the most recent model we tested was even so nowhere virtually as impressive as our picks (for nevertheless reasons we originally removed the Delta 58480 from our list). On the upside, we didn't experience any leaking this time around.

The Delta In2ition 58620-25-PK comes with a detachable handheld that's shaped like a wand, instead of the usual round zipper. The benefit of this long and skinny pattern is a gentle, continuous waterfall setting that'southward ideal for rinsing a infant's head. (It felt pretty good on ours, too.) Unfortunately, this model shares many of the same flaws every bit the Delta 58480. And though we appreciate a function designed with children in heed, a well-placed hand is just as good at keeping water out of a wee one's eyes during bath time. Nosotros dismissed a third Delta In2ition model, the 75583CSN, right out of the example due to its inexpensive-looking plastic attachment nut and bankroll.

We had high hopes for the Delta HydroRain 75699 considering the fixed-mount portion of this dual handheld model tilts, meaning you take more control over where the overhead spray hits. A weak flow doomed it from the starting time. And the face of the handheld is molded at such a sharp downward angle toward the handle that it's difficult to find a comfy way to rinse off. It'due south a truly bizarre design flaw, because no other handheld nosotros tested had a similar issue.

Our High Sierra depression-flow budget option now also comes with a handheld selection, only we constitute it to be heavy and cumbersome. And with simply one setting, it's not worth its significantly higher price.

Nebia by Moen likewise makes a less expensive spa shower, the N214R0, that doesn't have a handshower. We turned the handshower off on the model nosotros tested to see how it felt and much prefer the dual selection.

We've had a few readers asking that we test the popular Speakman Signature Icon Anystream, and then nosotros ordered its ane.75 GPM Due south-2252, a highly rated model on Amazon. We did appreciate its heft and quality metal lever (which smoothly glides between three settings, instead of clicking from one to the next, like most showerheads practice). But none of the streams provided broad plenty coverage to experience satisfying.

Our previous budget pick, the Delta Faucet 75152, compared poorly in 2019 tests confronting some newer models released since our 2016 tests. Since no changes take been fabricated to its design since our final examination, we didn't consider it again for 2021. Though the 75152 does offering two gpm settings (2.5 and one.85), the spray felt uneven and weak, and the inconsistent droplet sizes fabricated the spray's exterior experience libation than the center.

Nosotros liked the Moen Magnetix 26100EP, an affordable handheld showerhead with six spray settings. If you lot want a handheld option but don't want to trounce out $100 for the Moen 26008, the 26100EP could work for you. We didn't recommend the 26100EP because a meaning portion of the caput (the part that allows information technology to swivel) is made of plastic, which is softer than metal and easier to cross thread and harm when installing. We adopt metallic construction.

The single-mount Moen HydroEnergetix 8-spray is another affordable option. But of its eight settings, merely 1 (the full-bodied massage) hit the spot, and none provided wide enough body coverage.

We tested the Moen S6320EP and found its sprays underpowered. Its ane.75-gpm flow felt too low to create a satisfying rain-shower experience. The head is 8 inches wide, which provides significant coverage simply makes information technology harder for each individual spout to deliver a great deal of water. It's also so broad it won't fit in showers with shower artillery (the bit  coming out of the wall that the showerhead screws into) that are less than 3 inches long. And 4 inches or more is preferable, because that gives the head its full range of movement.

The combination Kohler Converge 2-in-one 5-Spray directs all the streams of water to converge in the heart, which is the just point of the showerhead where the pressure really felt strong. Every bit this YouTube reviewer points out, this means you need to agree the showerhead xviii inches away from your body to feel a massage-like spray. To detach the handheld, you push information technology forrad past its handle, like shifting from first to second gear in a manual-transmission car. But if you lot don't accept plenty room behind the shower arm to push button out the handheld, it'southward basically stuck. Tim found it too tight on his bath's 3-inch shower arm; iv inches or more should be enough. (Measure straight out from the wall to the nearest edge of the shower arm's threaded section.)

The Kohler K-15996-CP Flipside is a pop but strange model that changes settings by rotating a nozzle-filled deejay nestled inside a circular holster. Two of these settings are traditional—a constellation of separated jet streams or a gurgling waterfall. These were fine, but the settings that emit from the narrow edges of the disk are sparse and flat mistings, which nosotros did not observe desirable. When you rotate the deejay to switch settings, information technology sprays your face up in the process.

We tested the 1.5 gpm Niagara N2915CH, which is like to the High Sierra. With two spray settings, the Niagara is technically more versatile, merely its rain shower is far less powerful and lush. Its second setting, with half-dozen swiveled jets of water that come out from the head in pairs of two, creates uncomfortably cold gaps at the center, under a college showerhead.

We tested the Hydroluxe 24 Function 3-way two in 1 Shower Head, i of the almost pop and to the lowest degree expensive showerheads on Amazon. The model broke as we were trying to assemble information technology (a surprisingly difficult task), which probably speaks to the quality and longevity of the head.
