Great, but there are issues

Like the product and the comfort it offers, attach the adhesive pad, although it is very strong, let's move on to the product in a few days. I had two of these and hadn't installed the second one yet, so after the first adhesive failure I borrowed the adhesive pad from the second unit. The same thing. Fell off the wall in 3 days. BUT I have since bought a roll of Gorilla double sided tape and it has been sitting for 2 weeks now. Wish me good luck!

Pros
  • BUILT TO LAST: Backed by Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty

  • There are other interesting options.

Trust other reviews

When everyone says glue doesn't work, they're right. Mine stayed up for about a week before falling and crashing into a wall. I hope the hand shower still works. UPDATE Problem found: The back of the dock itself, a beige plastic circle surrounded by a foam circle, is too smooth to fully adhere with the included glue or anything else. Buy double-sided gorilla tape and sand the back of the dock. It was two weeks without incident. Design flaws to the max!

Pros
  • VERSATILE FINISH: The chrome finish is highly reflective, creating a specular look that complements any decorating style
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great accessory but weak mounting strap

I have use with a shower chair. There are 2 mounting options: with self-tapping screws or with 3M double-sided tape. I chose the latter because I didn't want to drill through the fiberglass edge. Before installing I read the reviews and found that the tape mount is prone to failure. As a person who learns from the mistakes of others, I thoroughly cleaned the mounting surface twice with bathroom cleaner. I then rinsed it several times with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. I followed T's…

Pros
  • ACCESS TO HAND SHOWER AT ANY HEIGHT: Add optional shower dock for easy access to Magnetix hand shower at any height
Cons
  • Doubtful

a great idea. mediocre performance.

Love the idea of this shower head. It was easy to install and the aerator was very easy to remove. The hose is a bit flimsy and feels cheap, but not too bad. The problem I had with this shower head was the remote dock. I bought this for my youngest son as he cannot reach the shower head but he is too old for his mother to help him shower. I placed the remote dock at about 5ft which would be perfect for him to shower and reach for the nozzle to use as a hand sprayer. Problem: You cannot change…

Pros
  • FAST INSTALLATION: Two mounting options included for quick installation - permanent waterproof adhesive and two screws with wall mount
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

You must know. the best hand shower

Some important installation notes. First look inside the magnet housing and you will see three (3) broken tabs. This allows the disc to rotate and fit fully into the plastic locking slots. It should snap into place with an audible click when rotated clockwise about 1/8 inch. If only 2 tabs are broken, like mine, the device will not snap into the notches inside the case. YOU have to break the third one so it can rotate and lock properly or else it will twist and fall off the wall if you move the

Pros
  • WIDE USE: Ideal for bathing children and pets or sitting down
Cons
  • Interval
