Review on HOPOPRO 6-Function Handheld Shower Head Set - NBC News Recommended Brand, High Pressure & Flow With 59 Inch Hose And Bracket Kit. by Phil Oliveira

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Just what I needed best in my review

One star came off immediately because of what I can only call deceptive advertising. The marketing jazz for this product states clearly that the connector piece and ball joint are brass. Comparing itself to the "others" which are plastic. It certainly is NOT. Other than that, I'm very happy with the product. It was very easy to install. The longest part was taking the old shower head off and cleaning off the old tape. Using the included plumbers tape was not necessary since there is a washer already in the hose. There are no leaks without the plumbers tape. It comes with the 1.8 GPM flow restrictor installed. I very easily popped that out from the bottom of the handheld unit. I used it the first time with no flow restrictor at all and the water pressure was awesome but began to feel a little eco guilt and wound up installing the 2.5 GPM restrictor that also comes with the unit. Still really good pressure. I use this in a tub/shower. When using the "pause" setting the water is diverted from the shower unit to the tub faucet where it comes out full force so not saving any water. For that I still have to just turn the water off. Not sure how that works in a standalone shower. Overall I'm very happy with it. But they do need to change their product description concerning the brass (PLASTIC) connector piece.

Pros
  • This shower head set is easy to install without hiring a plumber
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all locations
