It didn't feel like 2.5 gpm.

I really wanted to like this shower head but found the water pressure poor even though it was rated at 2.5 GPM. I had another cheaper 2.0 GPM shower head and it seemed much more powerful than this one.

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Good fit, looks good.

Replaced a dead AS shower (the little rubber mini nozzles that spray water died after 17 years). This one matches the nickel finish and looks great. Maybe -0.5 stars for not many spray options, but still good overall.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Zero

Perfect identical replacement.

Looks like a perfect replacement for our shower head. There are no complaints yet. A little warning. Our original broke when my teenage son was trying to adjust the shower head. Water started pouring out the back of the shower head. There's no way of knowing if he was rude or not (he claims he wasn't). Since then he has been warned to be extra careful. So I just advise you to be very careful when setting it up, just in case.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Problem

Beware! It's plastic, even though it says it's metal.

I ordered a Kohler showerhead and was surprised when I opened the box and found it was plastic. I returned it. As it turns out, most of the showerheads available at Revain are made out of plastic. I've been looking for a metal shower head for a long time. Finding this information is not easy! They don't offer it. You must read the fine print. The "Specifications" of this US standard showerhead says "Material - Metal" but it is NOT. It's cheap plastic. So I'm sending that back too.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

From American Standard's Patience line

This shower head is part of American Standard's Patience line. This is an attractive series with a classic design. softer and wider outer ring jet - full combo jet of both modes At 2.5gpm I find the combo sprayer loses some of its effectiveness unless the water pressure is above normal. It's a simple click to change patterns by rotating the outer ring. I doubt most people change their shower nozzles very often, but it's nice to be able to do so and find the one that works best for your…

Pros
  • Sparkles
Cons
  • Seniors

Good shower; a bit pricey

The American Standard 3 Function Shower Head is a really good luxury shower head. It was very easy to install and looks great. The 5" diameter will only fit our existing spout/shower head collar. I need to understand "pressure compensated flow control" better because at 2.5 gpm I found I needed a little more pressure. I don't think they mean 3 jet options but maybe? Either way, the jet offers good coverage and is as gentle as rain compared to the harsh jet we got from our old shower head…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Updates
