When setting up the showerhead, we found that the installation instructions were clear. We also appreciated that the handheld wand was easy to detach and even came with an additional mount so you can place the showerhead at a different height if needed. This thoughtful feature is especially helpful for those living with kids or a roommate/partner with a height difference. The hose length was plenty long, too. Plus, the product features antimicrobial anti-clog nozzles to help keep the showerhead clean. In testing, we did notice slight leaks around the showerhead due to the plastic construction, but it was not majorly concerning to us. In addition to the basics, modern shower heads may offer extra features such as a built-in Bluetooth speaker or LED lighting. These aren’t always practical for a handheld shower, though, and they’re no substitute for an effective spray pattern. On that note, if a shower offers you ten different patterns, ask yourself how many you’re actually likely to use: most of us rarely need more than one or two patterns.

Key specs – Type: 132mm/110mm chrome finish shower head; Spray patterns: 1; Extras: 9l flow regulator (5.7l on AIO S); Colours: 1 (chrome); Warranty: 5yrs After three months of long-term testing this showerhead, we’re happy to report that it has continued to deliver. The water pressure is just as good as the first day it arrived, and we loved being able to play with the settings and use the handheld showerhead. So far, there hasn’t been much buildup besides slight white mineral deposits on one of the nozzles. After testing this showerhead in our homes for three weeks, we found that the flow is still strong, and the nozzles don’t seem to get clogged easily with hard water or gunk. We’ve cleaned the showerhead by wiping the surface with a shower cleaner, which has kept it as good as new. After cleaning each showerhead, we scored the product on its durability, noting its overall construction, how easy it was to clean and maintain, and whether or not there are any features that make the showerhead easier to clean or resistant to clogging or build-up. Finally, we assessed the showerheads’ value by comparing their retail prices with their overall quality. We also considered how (if at all) the showerheads enhanced our daily lives and whether or not we would recommend the products to a friend or family member.

The best shower heads you can buy in 2023

There are three main types of showerheads: fixed, handheld, and dual (a combination of fixed and handheld). Fixed showerheads are mounted to the wall, while handheld showerheads are connected to the wall via a flexible hose. Handheld or dual showerheads are particularly useful for pets, kids, and anyone with limited mobility. We’re really impressed with how the Chandler Combo Showerhead has held up after six months of at-home testing. The product has continued to perform as well as it did when we first got it. There have been no changes in performance or aesthetics. The water pressure is still wonderful, and the hardware is still sturdy. We love that the shower nozzles are made of rubber, which makes them very easy to clean. Additionally, the detachable shower head makes it simple to rinse off the sides of the shower and other nozzles during the cleaning process. We’ve found that using a daily shower spray helps with consistent upkeep of the showerhead. After researching the most beloved, top-rated showerheads currently on the market, we gathered 20 options and took them home with us. In this initial testing, we installed the showerheads as per the manufacturer’s instructions, used the showerhead consistently throughout the testing period, and cleaned the showerhead after two weeks of use.

At the six-month mark, all features continue to work well with no leakage or changes in overall performance. The showerhead was still fairly clean at this point, but it had some mineral deposit residue that cleaned off easily after soaking the showerhead in vinegar. What really makes this showerhead stand out is its variety of spray patterns and performance. The showerhead offers eight different settings, including wide rain, massage, and point jet. Some settings offer a more concentrated stream with higher pressure, which can also be used to clean the shower itself. At 2.5 GPM, the flow rate is higher than many options on this list, which can enable better water pressure but may also lead to higher water bills. In terms of performance, we found that this showerhead held up exceptionally well, with a consistent and even water flow. However, the spray area isn’t particularly wide, which can be an issue for those who prefer more of a rainfall effect. But with six different spray patterns, we still found that the product is highly effective and customizable to your liking. We also love how easy the showerhead is to move around, as it uses a swivel-action adjustment to change the direction of the stream. What’s more, the product offers a ton of value at a reasonable cost.

Why settle for a drizzle when you’re looking for a spray? Replace your old, clogged shower head for as little as £7

Most showers and shower heads use a standard half-inch pipe and fittings, so you can mix and match hoses and heads from different manufacturers. If you’re upgrading your head, however, think about whether you need to upgrade the hose at the same time: if it’s worn or leaking, it could be part of the problem. Can a new shower head help with low water pressure? The right showerhead can transform both the way your shower looks and feels—and we know that firsthand from the extensive testing of showerheads we've conducted. And considering just how much time we spend in the shower, we think it’s well worth the investment to find one you love. Three months in, the SparkPod Shower Head looks and functions as well as it did during our initial round of testing. The water pressure is still just as impressive, and because of the dark bronze color we opted to try, the minimal water spots that have appeared are barely noticeable. At this point, the nozzles don’t have much grime or clogs at all. Showery® is made of premium materials. It is built to last as we maintain the highest quality standard. Other cheaper shower heads are often low-quality and not safe to use.

Even if your home has low water pressure, a shower head with a clever nozzle design and carefully sculpted water channels can help build the pressure and give you a powerful shower. The trade-off is usually quite a narrow spray radius. However, since there are generally multiple spray patterns to choose from, you can start your shower with a wider, gentler spray, then switch to a more forceful pattern for intensive cleaning. In general, we’ve been pleased with the overall performance of this showerhead. But because the filters are pricey and have to be replaced so frequently, we’d really only recommend this product to those who are very conscious of water quality and willing to pay for the upkeep.Elevate your daily bath-time experience with our range of shower heads. From sleek and stylish designs to complement your bathroom to energy-saving showers, we offer solutions for all your needs. Showerheads come in many different spray patterns, and some even come with adjustable spray patterns. Some common ones include rain, massage, and jet. Rain provides wide, gentle coverage, while jet and massage are more targeted and forceful. If you love an intense shower, nothing beats a high-pressure showerhead—and thanks to the AquaCare High Pressure 8-mode Handheld Shower Head, you don’t have to break the bank to get one. Through testing, we’ve confirmed that this showerhead offers high-end performance, with a 2.5 GPM flow rate and a wide variety of settings at a relatively low price point. The ''stop button'' feature is NOT suitable for electric showers or electronic thermostatic showers (see compatible showerheads HERE). And while the speaker may be the product’s main selling point, the showerhead did not underdeliver on performance. We were impressed with the strong water pressure and wide-range spray. So although there’s only one shower setting, we think it should work for most people. We did notice that the product developed a few water spots, but it was overall easy to clean with some wet wipes or just a dry towel. Additionally, the product boasts a solid and durable construction, so if you’re looking for a long-lasting showerhead that can also blast your favorite tunes, the KOHLER Moxie Bluetooth Showerhead is a solid bet.

Shelling out extra cash for a quality, sleek showerhead can be a great way to upgrade your daily routine. While the Delta HydroRain Two-in-One Shower Head doesn’t come cheap, after putting this showerhead to the test, we think its dual design, variety of settings, and high-quality construction justify its price tag. With six different spray settings, you have full flexibility to customize your stream and pressure. We liked the variety of settings, as we’re confident you’ll be able to find the right one for your preferences. What’s more, you’ll never have to worry about the spray not being wide enough—the product features two adjustable side panels that provide a fuller stream. Just keep in mind that this product may be more prone to water spots than some of the other options we tested. Boasting an easy installation, high-quality construction, and top-notch performance, the showerhead’s price is more than fair, too. Chris Fallon, general contractor and owner of Fallon Contracting, says that “installing a new showerhead after having an old one can actually make you feel like you have better water pressure.” Whether your old fixture is clogged with build-up or has faulty parts, upgrading your showerhead can result in a more enjoyable experience. And if you're looking to save money in the long run, a high-efficiency showerhead is a great way to reduce your water usage (and your water bill) each month. The showerhead is also fully detachable, which is great for those who prefer a handheld wand over a fixed showerhead. It also boasts a high-quality stainless steel construction, but isn’t too heavy or cumbersome to use for long periods of time. You’ll want to note that there are only two water settings—a high-pressure stream and a spa-like mist—which you can switch between using the built-in slider. And while its overall performance was effective, we think the hose length could have been longer. You can choose between a low-flow showerhead with a flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute or a standard one with a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute.We evaluated the ease of setup by noting how complicated the directions were, how long the process took, and whether or not any special tools were needed. Next, we assessed the features (including Bluetooth, filters, and dual settings, if applicable), considering how useful and simple they were to navigate. To evaluate performance, we observed the water pressure and flow, taking into account the area and power of the stream. To evaluate the showerhead settings, we took note of how easy it was to adjust the position of each showerhead and whether or not the settings allowed us to customize the shower to different preferences. Considering a more energy-efficient hot water solution? Our electric showers offer instant hot water, which makes your daily routine even more convenient. These offerings are not just about utility but also bring a modern touch to your bathroom. Next, let’s talk about shower hoses. We have a wide array that suits every taste, be it chrome or minimalist white. Pair them with a matching shower head that allows you to toggle between relaxing flows and gentle drizzle.
