Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The hand-held part of the shower is absolutely fantastic. Great pressure and the variation in settings is excellent. I have absolutely no problem with the actual hand-held shower bit.
That being said, the bracket that holds the hand-held shower and connects to the shower line in the wall is absolute junk. The connector is actually two parts: one that screws onto the existing line and creates a ball-type nub for the second bit to connect to and the second bit, which--when tightened--clamps down on the ball-type nub completing the connection.
The second bit is cheap plastic, plastic I have no problem with, but this stuff is light and flimsy to the point that I fear cracking it if I tighten it too much and therein lies the rub, so to speak. I do tighten it. Quite a bit. Regularly.
You see, the bracket that the hand-held shower is supposed to sit in is sort of a flat oval shape, which is a problem because the hand-held shower handle is round. Consequently, one has to apply a little force to get the round handled hand-held shower bit to sit in the cheap plastic flat oval shaped receptacle. The problem is that every time that cheap plastic flat oval shaped receptacle is moved--whether in trying to set the hand-held shower or adjusting the angle of the shower spray--the second bit of the connection loosens. Loose connections mean leaks...lots of different leaks, from high arching sprays to random dribblings.
If there were a way to connect the hand-held shower bit directly to the the shower line that comes out of the wall, I'd have given it 5 stars. As it stands 3 is pretty generous.
