Sadly I did HOURS or research on shower heads before finally biting on the bullet on this one. I was extremely hesitant due to my lack of knowledge of this brand. My wife and I have been extremely pleased. We have had it for a couple months and everyone that has used it has made comments on how great it is and some have even bought one themselves! You do need to get the extending arm as this head is rather large. It needs to sit away from the wall to do it's purpose. It appears to be built well, both metal and plastic and all of the nozzles are still functioning at maximum capacity. The coverage area is great and the pressure is good. It is not an extremely strong pressure as this is designed to casscade on your body. It is still plenty of pressure and waterflow to get you extremely clean but if you are covered in dirt from working out in the yard or something you will have to wipe the dirt off of you with your hand as the pressure is not ample enough to knock it off of you like an older style shower head does. As soon as ours gets clogged with sediment I will be buying another. This is by far the best shower head I have ever used and I have tried a ton of them.

I have good water pressure and this showerhead works great and really drenches me like rainfall, but if you have bad water pressure in your home or you have really thick hair that is hard to rinse clean, you may want to look at another showerhead with more pressure (my other shower has a 6" round drenching head from waterpik that has really good pressure). I have long straight hair and this showerhead drenches enough to rinse my hair clean without the extra breakage strong pressure heads cause to hair - which I really like!
I really love the sleek and modern design of this showerhead and I like that it is a statement piece.. If you are concerned with height though, I would recommend purchasing with a longer arm than the 12" Delta Amazon recommends - The large square design prevents the arm from extending to its full potential (not a problem for me, but something to keep in mind- especially if you're over 6ft).
The 100 spray nozzles are rubber (which is apparently a good thing), but some on my showerhead don't shoot perfectly straight... This hasn't affected the quality of the shower, but does bother my OCD a little.
Over-all, I'm happy with this showerhead and my purchase.

We love this showerhead. Maintenance is minimal. Our setup lets us shower together and we really enjoy the versatility.

After experimenting with a double manifold and two regular showerheads, which DID allow to run both simultaneously (which was really nice), we opted for the current setup because the missus wanted an overhead waterfall showerhead.

This thing requires some room to swivel and was too big to marry up with the double manifold, so I removed that and added an extension arm to a splitter valve. Because water pressure is no longer evenly split, we aren't able to use both showerheads simultaneously anymore, but we haven't missed it. We like the convenience of being able to switch the valve back and forth when we shower together. Plus, you need more space than we really have to take full advantage of two showerheads running together.

I highly recommend this product. Your first shower with this will be the best in a long time. I rotate the hell out of this thing every shower...no problems, no leaks, not one faulty nozzle, even after 2+ years of daily abuse. Sometimes the nozzles calcify and create errant streams... that's easily fixed by brushing your fingernail over it to clean out the deposits. The errant stream will once again be uniform with the rest. Standing up or sitting down, I always love my shower. Be prepared to experiment like we did, it's fun and you may come up with a really awesome configuration. And don't forget the plumber's tape!

Pros:
1. Perfect amount of pressure. I don't have the best water pressure in the world, especially if other people are using water at the same time of my shower. This shower head delivers a consistant spray that feels absolutely prefect to me. Not too light, not too hard.
2. It pushes a lot of water out. It will wash soap off your body and hair very quickly.
3. If you stand under it, it will drench most of your body, and it feels great.
4. It looks good. I'm not a huge fan of the blue rubber, but it still looks nice.
6. It's light, and with a shower arm (not included) You can get this in just the right position for your needs.
7. Price is good. Shower arm can make it a little expensive but is is worth it. Even if you don't like this shower head for some reason, you will like having a shower arm.

Cons:
1. Uses a lot of water. If you live with a lot of people or have a small water heater, this is probably not the shower head for you. You will notice an increase on your water bill, especially if you or your family takes a lot of showers, or long ones.
2. This is not a problem for me, but I could see how you could have issues if you are used to a shower head with a lot of pressure. You may find it hard for the water to penetrate your hair if you have thick, long hair.

I can't speak on behalf of longevity, but so far I really do like it. Defenatly recommended.

We recently bought a house that desperately needed new shower fixtures. I wanted a rain head but also wanted the convenience of a handheld . After searching and not being happy with what was available, I decided to build my own setup. I purchased the following 5 items and reused the original shower arm, just turned upward.

Pasco 7103-C 1/2-Inch Brass Coupling, Chrome
Kingston Brass K117C1 17-Inch Shower Arm, Polished Chrome
Delta U4920PK 3-Way Shower Arm Diverter with Hand Shower Mount, Chrome
Delta Faucet 75700 Universal Showering Components 7-Setting Handshower, Chrome
AKDY (TM) Bathroom Chrome Shower Head 8" AZ6021 Rain Style

The Pasco Brass Coupler was very well engineered and connected the shower arm to diverter beautifully. The diverter appears to be metal and strong enough to hold the weight of the arm and 8" Rain Style shower head. I will say that the selector arm does feel a little flimsy compared the heft of the rest of the diverter. The shower arm was the perfect length and the hump and angle worked out perfectly, even when angled up 45degrees like I installed it. The 8" Rain Style shower head is the star of this show. It is very nice looking and flows water exactly how I wanted it too. To complete the package, the 7-setting hand shower is great for rinsing those hard to reach places, cleaning the shower or washing the dog. The best part is that I did all this for less than many of the other inferior "out of the box" options. All in all I am very happy this design and all the products. I have attached a few pictures in the customer photos section to help make sense of it all.
