    Good water pressure, easy to change settings

    ------------------------
    Design
    ------------------------

    The first thing I would say is if you're looking for a highly adjustable showerhead that can be angled and changed easily, this might not be right for you. While you can change the angle (by holding the shower and the adjustable section hard and moving it that way), it does let out a loud creak and isn't super easy to do. So if you have multiple heights of people in your house and want something easily adjustable this might not be for you.

    I really like the design of this, the chrome is lovely and shiny and bright and it looks great. The showerhead itself is very chunky and on the 'heavier' side, but the handle is slim and comfortable in the hand and I like the weight to it. Might not be best for those with weak arms just because it is a little heavier.

    The hose could do with another half a foot length to reach all the way to the bath bottom, but it has plenty of flexibility and works fine at the current length, it's not too short as some are, just I prefer slightly longer.

    ------------------------
    Installation
    ------------------------

    THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE PLUMBER'S TAPE. It says on the packaging, but nowhere on the product listing in many places so I want to save you the trouble of buying it (I did) and let you know it doesn't need it. Other than that, installation is very simple and easy. We used an adjustable wrench to tighten it up, but you could probably use rubber gloves in a pinch. Didn't take any more than five minutes to install on our setup.

    ------------------------
    Sprays
    ------------------------

    There is a good range in the 7 spray settings and the only thing that's really missing (in my view) is a 'centre-hole' spray. I thought the Powerpulse massage would replace that for me, but I find myself missing the simplicity of the strong single stream for washing my hair. That said, the 'Powerpulse Massage' is still my favourite for having a strong water pressure and relaxing with your thoughts under the shower. The 'Powerspray' setting is the best for rinsing soap off the body.

    The eco-settings are rubbish if you're in it for good pressure, but work well if you want to use less water. You can tell them right away as they are noticeable weaker. While there aren't any visual indications of which setting is which, you will pick it up fairly fast. Changing them is easy and not stiff and there's a noticeable 'click-in' between each setting.

    One thing I will point out is that on each setting, it takes a few minutes to stop 'dribbling' outside of it's 'holes' and for it to become a concentrated and non-drippy stream. This is a little annoying, but could just be my water.

    ------------------------
    Water Pressure
    ------------------------

    The main reason I got this was to see if it could improve the pressure compared to my hastily bought ($20 on sale) previous showerhead. I like a handheld shower for rinsing and I prefer a stronger water pressure for the same reason (it also feels nice on the scalp)

    I am very pleased with the pressure on this. I'm not sure there's such a thing as too strong, this could definitely be stronger, but it's a noticeable improvement on my previous showerhead, so I definitely found this had better water pressure.

    Overall, this showerhead from Waterpik is ideal for those looking for a non-adjustable (or difficult to adjust) handheld shower, with a handful of settings with good water pressure. Even better if you can get it on sale, but the price is reasonable when compared to other brands! You are paying somewhat for the name, but I've seen no-name showerheads at this price too. If they'd add a centre spray to this like in some of the more expensive models, I'd buy this again, but it's definitely still a good showerhead.
