“We received the shower-head a few days ago. It has 2 settings which are easily changed by flipping the small lever. In the first setting (I'll call this setting #1) the water comes out of all of the jets. By moving the lever to the other setting (setting #2), the water will come out of the center jets only resulting in a firmer but smaller diameter flow. I prefer setting #1, as I find the flow pressure still excellent. Shower-time has been significantly reduced compared with our old head since it is much easier to rinse out shampoo etc.Note: The green plastic flow restricter is easily accessible and easy to remove with a pair of needle-nose pliers should one be interested in doing that.”
“First Ever Product Review................My name is David and I am a Shower Snob!By shower snob I mean we spent an insane amount of money on our shower. Solid marble 4' x 8' slabs for the walls, the entire lid done in slab marble, 2 inch water lines coming in, 6 inch drain and p-trap etc. Can you spend more money on shower head --- yes -- do you need to spend more money on a shower head NO! This is an awesome rain head. I have it mounted about 8' above the floor and it has as nice water spread.The flow restrictor is very easy to remove. I have had some shower heads that required drilling and screwing for removal, not this one.Two possible downsides,#1 You will need to wake up earlier than usual to get those extra few minutes under this rain head#2 You won't get up earlier and now you'll be late for work because you will not want to get out of the shower.Other than these two issues, this could very well the best shower head made. If Moen made it in 10 or 12 inch that is the only improvement I can envision.”
“works well as a true rain shower, and I like the adjustment to switch it to the middle 30 spouts. It's a nice metal shower head instead of plastic like the cheap ones. It was a little tricky to tighten down, so definitely use the plumbers teflon tape when screwing it on, otherwise it would be 5 stars.”
“Love it! Even with low pressure/volume in my house, this shower head is much better than the one it replaces (a standard sized Moen head). The full head gives a nice rain-like feel, but you can easily get more focused pressure for rinsing (if needed) by moving the lever. I (like others that have commented) just left the water saver green "filter" in the shower head, but I might eventually try it without it. It's great even with it in there, but I bet it's awesome without it. I just don't want to waste the water and pay the extra water bill.”
“I read the other reviews and did what everybody said. I pulled that little green plastic thing out and oh my goodness! I have a very very long hair and I can actually wash my hair under the shower head! It is such a joy not have to struggle between the showerhead and the hands-free trying to get my hair wet enough to get the shampoo in and out. It is absolutely a wonderful experience to have a shower with this , It really is like taking a shower under a wonderful waterfall. And like other poster said it does keep the splashing down to a minimum. Anybody looking for a big rainfall type showerhead go ahead and buy this thing buy the extension arm if you need to take that little plastic Doohickey out and you will be so happy you did It took me less than five minutes to install this”
“First and foremost, this showerhead looks spectacular. I kind of feel like it makes my shower look like it belongs in a show room or something. The chrome is just so shiny and pretty. It was pretty annoying that it didn't come with any instructions. Just because installing it seems like such a basic thing, I would still like them! Can I use Comet cleanser on the chrome? Is there any other way to get more pressure? Do I need to use plumbers tape (I didn't) like a previous reviewer?! Who knows, cuz Moen doesn't tell you!Function-wise, it works like a shower head. The soft rain-like drizzle is nice and soothing. It seems like such a minor thing, but it really is luxurious! It also has a second setting though, for a more directed flow. For me, it is just not quite strong enough. I have very thick hair, and my back loves a nice massage in the shower. If there was a way to get a stronger flow (and maybe some instructions) It would really be a perfect showerhead.”
