Premium Chrome Handheld Shower Head with 2.5 GPM Flow - Waterpik SM 653 CG Review

The flow rate of the supplied hose is terrible and restricts flow to the head too much. There is barely 1.5 GPM going through this hose, so the 2.5 GPM head will not work. Replaced the hose with one from the hardware store (a 5 gallon bucket fills up in about a minute with the head off, compared to nearly three for the hose that came with it) and it works great. Must include hose that fits head, not hose with 3/16" choke holes on each end.

I have hopeless mechanical problems. I previously ordered a different hand shower, not the Waterpik. It consisted of about 20 different parts. There was a picture guide. One of the details wasn't even on the drawing. It took me about 45 minutes to install and it didn't work. Most likely assembled incorrectly. I sent it back. This Waterpik consisted of only 3 parts: a hose, a shower head and a small part that screws into a pipe coming out of the wall. I installed it in 5 minutes and it worked…

I replaced the head of a 15 year old METAL shower head. I chose Waterpik because of the brand and of course the price. As I understand in life - you get what you pay for. The shower head is much smaller and PLASTIC than my original, but that wouldn't be a problem if the water output was decent. I have good water pressure and would definitely not recommend buying it if you use it for the SHOWER - ridiculously low water on any setting. I only use it to rinse my hair but with the amount of water…

I've had a variety of handheld showerheads over the past ten years since replacing my original Waterpik. They were fine but the last one broke the collar so it could no longer be installed and I decided to go back to the original model. She's just beautiful and I like her just as much, if not more, than her fashion-forward peers. I believe based on experience and how it is constructed it will last longer than them. The collar, for example, is made of a different plastic that appears to be more…

Had my old one for years, it got a little hard and clogged some injectors. Wanted the same model but didn't. My old one was hard white plastic and seemed very durable. It's cheap plastic with a crappy chrome finish. Feels a lot cheaper. And my old one had 8 shots, this one only has 6. Worst of all, the old one had an arrow-shaped physical bump that indicated the shot it was on. He cannot say which setting he is pointing to. All you have to do is move the dial and see what happens. But it's hard

I bought this when a family member had major surgery and needed a handheld shower head but we still use it because it's great! ADVANTAGES: Installs in about 5 minutes (including removing the old showerhead); the dial for selecting the spray pattern is easy to move; adequate choice of spray pattern and hose length; easy to take down and hang up. CONS: Smells like plastic on first install - I don't mind it, but if you're sensitive to smells this might bother you; sometimes the tension on the hose

Insufficient water pressure to make proper adjustments. A setting that should radiate from the center and deliver a focused stream of water droplets from the atomizer. The normal full jet isn't that good either. If it's pointing down, gravity will help the spray; Otherwise he cannot reach the goal. It just bends or curves the water in an arc instead of shooting straight. My DH has not been able to install it to date, so a return is not possible. It could be a defective device, but without a…

Extremely disappointed with this shower head. I bought it for the massage feature - I used a similar Waterpik shower head during a hotel stay and it worked great for a neck injury. This one was pathetic compared to him. He's too weak to give anything like a massage. I'll admit that my house doesn't have very high water pressure, but based on the product description and reviews I've come to the conclusion that the shower head works as a massager even with relatively low water pressure. In my…
