Review on πŸ’¦ Waterpik White Shower Head with Handheld Spray, 1.8 GPM Original Massage - SM-451E by Julie Lorig

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Incredibly cheap hose destroys any value/benefit.

What a disappointment! I've had Waterpik shower heads since they were first introduced and they've always been fine. Those times seem to be over. The latter is so cheap and tasteless. Especially the shockingly white hose, which no matter how much hot water you run through it or how long you hang it with weights to aid its recovery, simply refused to hang properly. I even asked the community if anyone figured out how to detach the hose and the replies were "let me know if you know". Check out the photos. Both are of this shower head but the first one is as received, with a clumsy hose. In the second photo, I temporarily attached the old hose to show how the correct hose should hang. This hose is from an earlier Waterpik: note that it is longer and more flexible. I'm sure they all saved 27 cents by using a short, cheap, stiff hose. I will leave it installed just long enough to examine and order a replacement. It's foolish to think that Waterpik, a company that like Teledyne was a pioneer in this product category, still cared about quality and its heritage.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Weight
