Review on 🚿 Speakman Caspian Anystream 2-Way Shower Combination, Polished Chrome - 2.5 GPM by Steven Mazie

My wife and I have been using Speakman products for a long time and love them. Our master bathroom has had one of their Anystream fixed showerheads for a number of years. We were looking for a reasonably priced hand held shower for our guest bathroom and settled on this based on our experience with the brand and design. Installation was a breeze. My experience with hand held showerheads has been mixed at best. This one had all the gaskets pre-installed and installed safely and leak-free in ten minutes. The device is made in China. It's mostly plastic. The plastic seems more durable than other brands we've owned and looked at. The finish is good. The back of the adapter (the part of the adapter that attaches to the shower arm) is metal where it attaches to the shower arm, but the front of the adapter (which has a threaded connection to attach the flexible tube and hold the shower head itself when not in use as a hand shower) plastic. The shower head fits securely into the adapter and the up/down range of motion accommodates users of different heights. We mounted it to an S-bracket for the shower, which has enough room for a 6ft tall person and still keeps the showerhead under the top of the shower curtain. The flexible hose that connects the adapter to the shower head has a metal look and is one of the lightest and most flexible designs I have seen. Don't force anything and treat it like any other plastic object (don't scratch cleaning products, don't drop it or hit the shower head, etc.) and you'll be fine. We bought a 2.5 GPM device. It offers a very good shower. cover just right. The jet intensity can be easily regulated even with soapy hands. Massage is a narrow, powerful stream that some people may not care about. At full shower intensity (just before the massage setting), I feel this handheld is just a notch below our fixed Speakman Anyflow shower head, which offers a great shower experience. Let's see how this device holds up over time, but the early payout is very good!
