 Good for cleaning, showering and more Nov 13, 2007
By Carlgo
I ordered this because we needed an easier way to clean the shower. Going back and forth with a sponge takes too long and bringing in a hose is unwieldy at best. The price was right and the way it operates makes sense.
The unit itself, once removed from its amazingly complex and strong packaging, is pretty darn big. The photos are taken from a perspective that makes it look smaller than it really is. However, the design is nice and the unusual sort of green/gray granite-look color scheme really does go well with most color shower tile.
There are plenty of really nice high-end units out there. You can spend hundreds, even thousands, on these fixtures. If you just dropped $15,000 on a designer shower with all the fixens, then this might not really fit in, as they say.
Installation is easy. The instructions say to tighten the housing to the pipe with pliers, but that would mar the chrome for sure. I found that hand tightening was fine when using teflon tape on the threads. The ball swivel is pretty tight, so you can just grab the whole housing and twist it on. The hose fitting go on by hand easily.
The hand-shower part snaps in and out of the main housing easily. There is a nice easy switch that controls flow to the hand shower only, the head unit only or to both at once. There is a ring on the hand shower part that you rotate to make it full flow, no flow or massage/pulsate. That is the worst feature as the ring is hard to grip and not at all easy to turn. I imagine some people simply would not be able to use that feature. Maybe it will loosen up in time.
The most surprising thing to me was the quality of the showering itself. It produces a very unusual soft and, actually, sensuous shower experience both from the two units together or from the hand shower part alone. My wife kind of went on and on about all this, so...
The water flow is reasonably strong. You do not get that cheap hotel no water feeling at all.
If you want an economical hand shower that is easy to install, helps clean your shower and produces a really nice, even satisfying, hot rain-like experience, this unit may be for you.

Freaking awesome showerhead! Jun 01, 2007
By Christina Brunkhorst
"Krysia"
I love this thing. It installed without the need for any tools save for the scissors used to open the box. (I *hate* that kind of hard plastic packaging! One never fails to obtain an injury when trying to retrieve one's item from within.)
The heads work great together, great separately. Plenty of shower options to choose from (massage, rain shower, etc.). Looks good, although I was hoping for either a white with chrome. Instead, the large "encasing" portion of the shower head is like a greyish-sagish flecked hard plastic, with a white face and the smaller head is "chrome" on the outside and white on its face. Still, it looks good in my bathroom. It'd be *nice* if there was a *picture*. I had to Google for one, so I'd get an idea. I found 2 images: A "round" one (which is the one I received), and a stranger, flatter one. I like the round.
Anyway, what has impressed me the most (and my primary cause for concern with regards to the showerhead's design) is that the smaller showerhead fits perfectly in the larger one, and hasn't slipped out yet. Whoo hoo! Insofar as water pressure, I'd say it's fine. You're not going to be blasted out of the shower any time soon, but I have thick, curly hair, and I'm able to rinse without having to be in there for a year. (A big improvement over the showerhead I replaced.) And if you turn the dial to the handheld solo, the pressure does increase. Plus, I think there's a doohickey in the head that you can remove or whatever to increase pressure. Since I'm happy with it as is, I haven't bothered to really check.)

 A disappointment Jan 20, 2008
By mdchachi
"mdchachi"
We replaced a standard showerhead and an add-on handheld unit with this and I prefer the old showerhead. My home has standard water pressure -- it's less than 10 years old, using an individual well -- but the shower is just too "soft." The old head had about 50 nozzles. This one has about 50 on the outer ring and about 40 on the handheld part. Even though you can turn it to showerhead-only or handheld-only, it doesn't give me as good of a shower as I had because the shower pattern in these two modes is a circular pattern, not a full shower pattern. So the shower in those modes feels like it's showering around me, not on me. So I use it in dual mode. Probably if I had super water pressure, I'd love this shower but in my situation, it's been a disappointment.
On the plus side, installation was easy and it's convenient to mount the handheld portion into the showerhead. I used to have a suction cup mount for my old handheld shower which lots its hold on occasion.

Great Shower Head Mar 24, 2008
By K. Downs
I love this shower head. One of the major reasons I bought it is because the shower head sits below the end of the shower pipe that comes out of the wall. Most hand-held showers stick up 8 or 10 inches above the end of the pipe. I am fairly short (5'4") and I don't always want to get my hair wet when I shower ... with the higher shower heads you have to stand several feet away from the shower head to get the spray to hit at or below shoulder level ... not necessary with this one. The spray falls in a wide, soft pattern (one reviewer called it sensual), so there is little splashing to get your hair wet. This shower head would not be a good choice for someone who likes a hard pulsing water action.

 Looks good in the store, but... Dec 25, 2007
By Lego Fan
We selected this shower head on a whim from a big retail home store. We liked the idea that you can use the hand shower and the shower head at the same time and, like other reviewers, were looking for a convenient way to clean the shower.
It was a snap to install. The instructions were clear and the unit installs very easily.
It actually is quite nice to shower with, and if you select only the hand sprayer and turn the pulse spray on, it gets quite a spray going. Everything seems to work as advertized.
However, the unit is very big, and with the spray handle being below the pivot point, it makes it very difficult to angle the spray head "down" enough in our shower. The handle hits the wall before the head points down enough. Delta did add a little extension (which I used) to attempt to address this issue, but it did not help for our shower. In our case, the existing shower pipe is probably too low and/or short.
The other thing I did not like was the gray plastic pipe. This pipe is not very flexible, and does not hang down nice and tidy. For these two reasons, the shower head was removed and packed up, ready to be returned.
I will look for one where the handle is above the pivot point, and also I prefer the chromed flexible pipes.
