 Very good showerhead.... November 22, 2009
An File Dubh
So far it is as good as could be -- nice wide showerhead that gets you completely soaked and delivers good pressure. I am 6'2" but have had no problem standing under it -- with maybe about an inch to spare (though who stands directly under the stream the whole time anyway?). Installation was easy and quick. No problems. Looks great as well.

5 stars from the other reviews helped prompt me to order this shower head. The description says "Chrome" very clearly. This isn't chrome, it is unbelievably cheap, lightweight plastic. It installed easily, and seems to work fine. It is misleading to call it chrome, though. The shower head was 10 bucks more at Lowes, so the Amazon price was good. Shipping was free and quick from Amazon.
Great Showerhead November 4, 2009
J. Erion (Tucson, AZ)
I looked at multiple other showerheads, but many of the most desired were out of my price range. I found this showerhead by the high satisfaction rate of those who had already purchased and reviewed the item, so I thought I would try it for myself.
Pros: This showerhead has even flow through each of the multiple spray holes. The two adjustable pivot points allow a very sufficient freedom of movement for various shower sizes (works great in my 36x60"L shower base). Solid stream of water using less gpm than most I have seen. I am 6'2", and this shower added about 6" more height, allowing the water to sit above me instead of having to duck below the head. Even though it is made of mostly plastic, it appears very durable and is leak free.
Cons: Only one water stream setting (not a factor unless you feel the need for other settings). I think many of the multi-setting showerheads are made very cheaply anyways.
If you want a great showerhead at a low price, I highly recommend this one. I have been very happy with my purchase.
Awesome shower ! October 24, 2009

Waterpik makes a brushed nickel version of this showerhead, model # RPB 179. I know, because I purchased 2 yesterday that I stumbled upon at HomeGoods for $19.99 each. Oddly, even Google can't as of this date find the RPB 179 - perhaps it is brand new version? Anyway, it is same as RPB 173 except finish is pretty brushed nickel and face is putty colored rather than black. I love this model because:
1) Installation - Having now installed 2 in my home, I'm pretty sure I could install a third in under 60 seconds if I really hustled! Only tool you'll need is pliers to remove old showerhead.
2) Flow - My goal is to get drenched, not massaged, and this model, with it's six inch wide head and dozens of firm but not stinging streams, succeeds marvelously.
3) Simplicity - I like simple things. This thing is very simple with a clean-looking design. And it should last.
4) Positioning - Best feature of all. The adjustable nine-inch arm enables you to position the head so that at it's lowest point it is around 5 inches higher than a conventional fixed head. My old head was around 5'11" off the floor of tub, this one is around 6'4". It also enables you to position the head perhaps 6 inches further out from the wall. So, no more bending over backwards or bumping into the shower caddy, or maneuvering through the spray and around the head to get the shampoo, etc.
5) Adjustability - the arm adjusts off the pipe, and the head adjusts off the arm, so you can have the starting point and angle of flow just how you like it, and such that it won't splatter on drywall, out of shower, etc.
6) Looks - quite handsome. Get yourself a brushed-nickel caddy for a good looking combo.
7) Quality - Early to say, but the two I installed don't leak at all, not even a single drop.
8) Value - I love the little one-time changes that make life a tad better daily. This thing does that, and if it lasts six years, it does it for a penny a day.
It is a winner. Waterpik, you're gonna sell a lot of these if you make them available.
