Review on Top Brand Ultra-Luxury Hotel Spa 1831 30-Setting 3-Way Rainfall Shower-Head/Handheld Shower Combo with 30 Water Flow Patterns, 6 Inch, Chrome by Cindy Vang

This unit is a little more expensive than some of the other offerings but the quality is really great considering how much I paid for it and I will definitely be buying it again. First off, it's about 90% chrome-plated plastic, but it's built fairly solidly. It's a "good" weight and definitely looks like an expensive, high-end device. The hose is made of metal and is as flexible as promised. The hose fittings and fitting on the back of the main shower head are also metal, as is the ball joint on the main shower head, so you can point it where you need it. The rest of the connectors, including those on the handpiece and hub/connector, are plastic. Plastic thread, rubber seals. Teflon tape to attach to the main pipe is included so you don't have to buy it separately! It's also important to note that the instructions seem to jump around everywhere so it's easy to miss, but they do mention that you should NOT use thread tape on other fittings and that you should NOT use assembly tools. That. However, the threads on the hub of one of the hose fittings seemed a bit warped and I couldn't get it deep enough to seal with my fingers, so I had to use pliers (carefully!). There are a few plastic flow restrictors in the shower head fittings. The one in the handpiece was easy to fish out, but the one in the main shower head was a bit trickier as it sank deeper. Be careful not to damage the device by pulling it out with a small screwdriver, wire, or awl. With no flow restrictor, this device actually dispenses a lot more water than my old showerhead, which is a welcome change considering the low water pressure in my house.
