Button break required

Head is too big for hand use but fits well. Spray options are good, but massage lovers will find it underpowered. While the new dial for toggling settings works smoothly. Remove the water regulator from the handle, otherwise the jet will be too weak (thanks to babysitter mode). The swivel mount is excellent. Teflon tape and a flexible metal water hose are nice touches. In addition to the head being too large, the problem lies in the pause function. It's just too cumbersome to rotate the dial. A

Pros
  • Looks nice
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Best Portable: Sanitary

Another winner from Speakman. It replaced another supposedly high-end laptop that kept getting worse and worse. I removed it, cleaned it and it got a little better, but overall the flow/flow was just weaker than I thought it could/should be. I found this speakman device tagged and problem solved. It's big for a portable device and can easily serve as the main shower head. True to the shape of the Speakman, it has much better pressure/flow than the unit it replaced and can even perform better in

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some difficulty

Average but works

I bought this shower head to solve low water pressure problems. The first arrived with a factory defect which resulted in all the water exiting through the handle and never getting into the shower head itself. The return went smoothly and I received a second one. This one still leaks a little in the same spot, but it's manageable. Not sure why it's leaking in the first place as the handle needs to be airtight to prevent this. There are two flow restrictors that can be removed with pliers: one…

3 SPRAY Settings Only - Limited Usefulness

This item is said to have FIVE "Spray" settings. In fact, there are THREE spray settings plus one drip. I consider this to be misleading advertising. Dribble is NOT a spray. I personally find this setting useless, but there may be others who find some use in whatever it is. However, dribbling is far from a spray. But even if you want to overdo it and call it a beam setting for the sake of argument, there are still only FOUR beam settings, not the (incorrectly) advertised FIVE. I wouldn't buy…

Pros
  • A Dream Come True
Cons
  • Some Little Things

Sturdy, light, comfortable

Installation was easy. I decided to remove the flow restrictor and it turned out fine. I was initially confused by the right-hand setting, which shuts off the water supply. It turns out when you apply shower gel or shampoo, allowing you to conserve water without losing your heat setting. I use it often. Some water still comes out (good for hand washing). Compared to a hotel shower, it's definitely not the same. I used the speaker at a hotel and it was a fire hose to remember. But who knows how…

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Nothing

Good hand shower.

Preface: I haven't had any other speaker products before so I can't compare them to traditional speaker showerheads. I paid full price for this product as well. After spending some time browsing different shower heads, I saw this one online and decided to give it a try. It's better made than most hardware stores, the hose is metal, the showerhead is plastic, but much better than the one it replaced. good body coverage. If you're a fan of massage settings, the heart rate setting may disappoint…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

The VS-1240 offers excellent shower performance with 5 settings and .

I only use Speakman showerheads. This rating is for the Speakman Rio Model VS-1240 shower head, which has a minimum flow rate of 2 GPM and a maximum flow rate of 2.5 GPM (at 45psi). Higher flow rates may be possible if you remove the regulator in the handle. You do this by grabbing one of the 4 inner white plastic tabs and then pulling at an angle to pull it out (you may have to pull quite hard). Some have noticed little or no change in flow with the regulator open; This means that the flow…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Sad device
