Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oxygenics 130-XLF25 BodySpa SkinCare Handheld Shower, Chrome
Customer Review: Great Shower Head
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these shower heads for my home (actually from Sharper Image)for $49.95. I bought retail because I wanted to be able to return them if I didn't like it and not pay shipping.
We live in a home with low pressure water and these shower heads provide a high pressure shower that feels great. They are much better than the old shower heads, which were also 2.5GPM heads, but had non where near the pressure. When you take a hot shower with this shower head, you really feel it.
On the downside, it is made of plastic -- so I don't know how long lasting they will be. I do wish they would make a higher end all metal version that would give a high end bathroom a better look. My experience with plastic anything has never been great but we will see what happens.
The technology seems sound with how they mix the oxygen into the water. Works exactly as described. Whole family likes them much better including teenage daughter.
They are easy to install. Be sure to check for leaks and use plumber's tape to on the large threaded parts.
Customer Review: Worth the price

I was looking for a replacement for my old "Shower Massage" that would consume less water. The old model sucked up 7.5 gallons per minute. This one uses a maximum of 2.5 gpm. For standard, non-hose variety shower heads, I found lots of alternatives. This one was one of the few that has a hose extension, which I prefer to help me clean the shower stall.
Teflon tape was included in the package, which made installation much easier--I didn't have to go out and buy a pack of that. Put it together without any trouble, though I do confess to reading the directions. What was not included was a full description of the flow regulator, which can turn the water completely off while you lather up, should you so desire. When I first turned on the water to check my installation, the flow regulator was in the "off" position of the twist. This was a little alarming. Was forced to use grey cells to figure out what the problem was.
Now, having used this product, I would recommend it to anyone and fully intend to purchase it for my parents and sister. Absolutely a GREAT shower.
Customer Review: finally clean!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in the middle of nowhere, where cable and running water don't even reach. I love my house and the location but it leaves me wanting sometimes. We have a well and my water pressure leaves something to be desired. I had tried everything to better my showering experience, especially since I have very long hair and takes a long time to rinse. When I stumbled onto this product, I hoped and prayed that it would work better than all of the other things that I've tried . . . my finally clean and shiny hair and I are hear to tell you that this is the most amazing shower head!!!! The most expensive my frugile self has ever splurged on, but the best one for the job!!! I was in and out of the shower in a quarter of my old time and my hair was completely rinsed; and in no time it was dry and softer than I've felt it in a very long time!
I hope this review helps you - this shower head has certainly made my life so much easier and more efficient and I can only hope that I expressed it enough in this blog.
Good luck in your shower searches ;)
Customer Review: Perfect for home or RV!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought our first handheld Oxygenics at least eight years ago. It is still working perfectly and it has been used a minimum of twice a day, everyday, for those eight years. Once we realized how much we loved the "extra" water pressure and the 2.5 gallons of water usage, we decided to buy a second Oxygenics handheld for our motorhome to save water when we are dry-camped. That was in 2002 and we have moved that handheld to two other coaches since then and it's been in use in our current motorhome for nearly three years now. Also, many years ago our son and future daughter-in-law both used our home shower. They absolutely loved it so we bought them one for Christmas several years later when they bought their own house. They, also, have moved their Oxygenics twice and now are looking to buy a second handheld since their new home has two bathrooms. These work perfectly, save a huge amount of water, and make it much easier and faster to get the soap out of my thick hair. We will never be without one both in the house OR in our motorhome!Customer Review: One of the best shower heads available today
Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely recommended. I own the product since July 2008 and, much obviously, I use it regularly. It performs as advertised. Between the fixed one and the handheld, the latter is definitely the one to go for, as it reaches you head to toe.
The unit was quite easy to install with bare hands (don't bother with the gasket sizes as per instructions - they are inter-changeable now).
If you are water-conscious, you will be pleased for two more reasons: for one, the pressure and water distribution do maximize its usage; and for the other, the shower flow control goes from full pressure to a drip, without influencing the temperature setting.
I made no objective comparison, but I do believe other reviews are entirely realistic when reporting one third reduction or more in water consumption.
If you install the unit in a shower enclosure - please just be aware that, when in its fixture, the handheld will end up about 9" further from the wall than the fixed head (and at about the same height).
