Summary: 3 Stars
A friend had this showerhead and I was so impressed I bought it and installed it in my shower. The showerhead itself is great, but the main problem is the cord. My friend's shower is in a bathtub -- therefore very deep with plenty of room to move around. My shower is small with just room to turn around, and that's when the design flaw of this product showed up. The cord literally will not sit flat against the wall and in fact curves outward away from the wall and protrudes into the shower space by about a foot. Unfortunately you'll really notice this in a tight space. I would rather pay more for a high quality metal cord that hangs flat against the wall. Waterpik should go back ot the drawing board on this aspect of their design for all their showerheads. It's pretty terrible, and they used to make such great products.
The other big issue with this shower head is that I installed it straight out of the box and literally no water came out -- none at all. When I unscrewed it to see what was going on black water (like old mixed watercolors) went everywhere -- all over me, my shower, my ceiling, my white rug, and so on. It turns out that to comply with laws Waterpik puts in a plastic flow regulator which you're supposed to be able to adjust (and which in the real world every single person will want to remove). Well I tried and tried, and in no position would this thing allow any water to come out. So I had to remove it and then reinsert the black rubber washers and reinstall the thing, and finally it worked, but this part of the design should work better and the instructions should be better in regard to it. As it is I just took it out -- had to -- and then turned my attention to cleaning up the black water all over the place. (And speaking of those black washers, I'm a little concerned that they won't hold up long since just that very short exposure to water pressure was "dissolving" them into the black in my very black water.)
The showerhead works very well, but I wouldn't buy this product again because of the cord issue.
Everyone should do themselves a favor and remove the flow regulator BEFORE trying to install this item.
