Update - Good customer service

UPDATE 9/28/20 — after my initial review, I contacted the seller regarding the issues. With no hesitation, they provided me with a replacement assembly. I appreciate the support. The unit is no longer leaking, and the functionality is very good. I would continue to caution that this is a plastic product, so I can’t say what the long term viability will be. But then again, with normal use, it will probably do as well as competing products. Increased to 4 stars.Original — First, read the various reviews and the description carefully. Chrome finish in this case means chrome colored plastic. We had looked at the various similar listings and hoped this would be of better quality. It’s not. Looks nice, the shower function seems nice, different spray patterns and all. But it’s basic plastic and not overly thick plastic at that. I question how long it will hold up. Second. As noted in other listings, it leaks. In our case it leaks from the hose outlet. I can’t figure out why, but that outlet is molded with a flat section on one side, like there’s no threads on that part. And lo and behold, that is where it leaks from. Supplier- is it supposed to be that way? If so that’s dumb, if not kindly send me a replacement diverter assembly. After putting it all together per instructions, finding the leak, I retightened the fitting, no change. Took it off, added plumbers tape to the outlet, still leaks. Tightened carefully with cloth and slip joints, still leaks. Even added a second washer, still the same. Doesn’t seem any way to reduce or eliminate the leak. I’ll give it a few days use and see whether it gets any worse. Almost wonder about using some silicone sealant to plug it. Will see.Final related point, if you get one of these, which I don’t recommend, be sure to remove the flow restricter. I’ve never seen one with so little water flow through it.Basic overall assessment. Looks nice, but leaks, and it is not worth $60. I seriously doubt it is any better quality than the similar appearing listings at $30.

Pros
  • Showerheads
Cons
  • The 18" extension arm can be too long for children or shorter individuals
