Review on 🚿 Enhanced Shower Experience: MOEN Magnetix 26008BRB Hand Shower and Rain Shower with Magnetic Dock by Nicole Her

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's plastic, not metal, just so you know

As the name suggests, this showerhead is made of plastic that only looks like bronze metal. I was very surprised, because nowhere on the packaging does it not say that. I'm not particularly happy with that. I decided to try anyway. Installation was pretty easy, but since everything is plastic, be careful when tightening the parts. The way the hose dangles from the handheld shower necessitates a steeper angle of the rainfall shower head as the hose is pushed against the shower screen. It is difficult to tilt the rain nozzle so that it is pointing straight down as the hose will knock the nozzle off the magnetic disc. It is possible that the hose will weaken over time due to heat. But if I hold my handheld at an angle against the magnet plate (the head pointed at 2 o'clock and the tube pointed at 8 o'clock), I can find the right angle... most of the time). Plastic scratches very easily. I pulled the water restrictor out like most do. Was a bit fiddly, but it works. You need to take out the black washer, then the white cross piece to get to the blue stopper. Tip: It's much easier to pierce it from the back with a small screwdriver. There is a hole on the back that allows you to do this. Didn't put the cross back on. Black puck only. The water pressure in my house is low so I have to do this. The water pressure from the shower head is pretty good with a limiter. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's shower to see how he feels. The flow at least seems to be better than my old shower head.

Pros
