Review on Delta 51140-BL Matte Black Hand Held Shower with Hose - 5-Spray Touch-Clean H2Okinetic Slide Bar by Janet Scollins

Delta is a manufacturer of quality kitchen and bathroom accessories. You can spend significantly more on accessories than for Delta prices, but the marginal gain in quality is small. Unique design is what you pay for when you pay more than Delta. However, it is an expensive shower accessory. Whether it's worth it is up to you. This is a beautifully crafted piece and the beauty of the spray pattern is undeniable. This nozzle can create a variety of jet types, but the most important are the simple shower holes (with silicone tips for years of easy cleaning - they work as advertised), the massage effect at the top of the shower head, and the four H2OKinetic holes.

This is a Delta specific design where the vortices in the channels leading to the spray holes alternate the water's path through the holes in the head from side to side, creating a sort of mad back and forth as the water exits. effect is created. Head. Watch the product video to see the effect. This is a minimalist style lightweight hand shower. Most hand showers cannot replace a good shower head. This is possible if you set the bar high enough for tall people to stand directly underneath. And indeed, most of the price of this thing comes from the showerhead, not the rack. This is an unusual hand held shower design that really eliminates the need for a regular shower head, although a large top rain shower head would have complemented it nicely. end caps. The shower head holder moves up and down the rod easily when you press the button on the side, allowing it to slide up and down the rod. You don't want to install it in a shower where there is no water pressure. You need good pressure to efficiently use the spray patterns it can produce. Finally, Delta has a solid lifetime warranty. People who complain about plastic parts (and all major parts are metal) seem to forget that those parts come with a lifetime warranty. If you buy this you will also need to buy a wall mounted elbow to get water to the hose.
