Delta Faucet 4-Spray In2ition Dual Shower Head with Handheld Spray, Brushed Nickel Shower Head with Hose, Handheld Shower Heads, Showerheads & Handheld Showers, Stainless 58467-SS

After I had bought this one , it was so wonderful we bought another. Best shower head

My old shower head of 10 years decided to stop adjusting up and down so it was time to get a new one. This is my first "aftermarket" shower head purchase. Just like all products I buy these days, I typed "top Shower Heads" into google. Unfortunately It didn't yield me much to reference later. So I then immediately came to Amazon and searched "showerhead" and started looking through the list. I first realized I needed to decide what kind I wanted. Multifunction head, handheld, or rainfall seemed to be the most common types. I stumbled upon the Delta 75480 In2ition shower head and loved the design and function (this handheld WILL NOT FALL out of head), but I had read in some other reviews of different handhelds, that it would be wise to have a metal hose. That's where I found the Delta Faucet 58467, the same In2ition design but with Delta's amazing, flexible, 5-foot, stainless steel hose. Amazon lists the 75480 with plastic hose for $42.00 new or $40.00 used. Amazon lists the 58467 with stainless steel hose for $86.00 new and only $53.00 used. $86.00 is a bit steep I think, considering its half price to go with the plastic option. But I went with the used stainless option for $53.00 and it came in its original packaging and looked to be a brand new item. I could not find a single flaw. Best shower head deal on Amazon in my opinion.Set-up: Set-up was pretty easy. I wanted to test the seals on the head so I set it up just the way they say, didn't remove the flow-restrictor or use teflon tape. I noticed that on certain settings, it would leak slightly at the connections. So I used teflon tape and it fixed all the leaks. This head does not leak anywhere with the tape on. It fit right onto my existing shower arm and was operating within minutes. I have quite a small shower and this unit fits right in (I am 5'10).The shower head unit has 2 settings. Either operating by itself or operating at the same time as the handheld unit. It is a standard shower spray on the head. The handheld unit has four settings: shower spray, spray/jet combo (lower pressure so its more a "waterfall" flow), jet, and trickle. The water pressure at my house is what I would consider average. When using the handheld and head at the same time, the flow seems to be quite adequate for me. No problems. I really like the handheld unit for its functionality. It fits right into the head (DO NOT FORCE IT DOWN, be gentle and you can feel it snug into place), and when showering suds off, all I do is aim at where I want, there is little to no movement on my part. Plus, the handheld unit looks as if it is perfectly designed to spray one's underside area, so that's quite amusing.My only con is that, as others have stated, aside from the extremely high quality cord, the unit is mostly plastic. DO NOT BUY any of the models that are oil rubbed bronze, or venetian whatever finishes. THEY ARE ALL PLASTIC. Read the other reviews. Why pay $178 for spray painted plastic when you can get the same thing in chrome, in perfect condition from Amazon Used for $53. The only difference is the color!Tip: If you want to check the seals on the unit, turn on just the handheld and switch it to option 4 (trickle). It backs the water up and if there are any leaks, you will see them.Tip 2: DO NOT GET the round or square variants of the In2ition, the handheld unit will fall out and potentially break. As I have stated here, the wedge design of this unit keeps it snugly in place. I am confident it will never fall out by mistake.Tip 3: I have read in other reviews that it is a good idea to drain the handheld unit after use. Just make sure you have both the handheld and shower head nozzles on when you turn off the water, then tilt the shower head down as far as it will go (be reasonable) and take the handheld unit off and hold it down at the floor of the tub so the water can drain down out of the hose. Give it a couple shakes and your done. I hope this will help the internal parts to work longer and not build up as many deposits.Couple weeks in and still loving it, will update in a few months or if any problems arise...

It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised when you buy something online...when it delivers more than you expected for a reasonable price.When I bought this I was thinking it was pricey compared to no-name brands (the last one I bought was like $30), but it's a name brand and I figured the quality would be worth spending more. In this case I would say I'm not really sure what all the extra money (it cost $100) actually got me. The design is more attractive and it looks more premium, so that's good. But it's made of plastic and when you lift the wand it feels surprisingly light and cheap. We've had it for 8 months and no problems yet, so hopefully it is more durable than it feels.The key feature for us was a switch on the handle to turn off the water flow. We wash our dogs in this shower and having the hand-held shower head is vital, but when it's time to soap up it's inconvenient to turn off the water at the faucet, and then when turning it back on you have to mind the temperature. With the switch on this model we can turn off the water easily and then restart it when ready without worrying about a different temperature.

I just purchased my second one of this. It feels very flimsy as it doesn't weigh much at all but it has held up well and I like the design.

It's almost impossible to find this in stores. I had one in my old house, but when I moved into an apartment, I went searching for this lovely addition a second time. There are some new (and not-so-improved) differences from the old one.PROS:1. Handle is lightweight, easy to maneuver. I bought this (again) because the handle is always nice and light. It's easy to maneuver around and spray. It fits great within the slot, even when it's slippery wet from the shower.2. Easy to install. I bought this a second time because of how easy it is to install. Seriously, all you need is plumbers tape. Wrap it around the right way, use pliers to tighten (NOT TOO TIGHT), and away you go. I like to assemble the whole thing, then attach it to the pipe in the shower, that way you aren't fussing trying to tighten the hose for the handle up too high.3. Ease of use. Seriously, this is the best part. The tabs are incredibly smooth to work, including the ones on the showerhead. I bought a new one when I moved to my apartment because the old one got so crappy, and the 'massager' (the circle thing in the middle of the handle) got clogged with stuff, even after regular cleanings, it would only 'massage' out of 3/4 of the sprays, unfortunately.CONS:1. Stainless steel. Really, my last one was all-plastic. I'm worried about how long this is going to last. The plastic one lasted for three years before I decided to leave it at my old house. As described above, the 'massage' part of the sprayer didn't work so good (it got clogged up even after regular cleanings and wouldn't massage anymore). Also, the back of the new handle is stainless steel, and when it rests in the holder, it rests against plastic. Really, how long is that going to remain beautiful?2. Stainless steel mesh cord is MUCH SHORTER than it's plastic predecessor. I think this new shower is just slightly higher, but this new one does not reach the tub at all. In fact, it hangs a solid 4-5 inches above it. Not cool.Final thoughts: I think they finally got the problem fixed where, since the handle spray is part of a larger shower mechanism, my old one would spray out at varying strengths (usually the outer part would spray more firmly, where the inner/handle part would have less pressure). I haven't noticed anymore issues with this. I also think they highly improved the ease of switching functions. Before it was an audible "CLICK" and you'd really have to push it. This one is much smoother, almost too smooth as to where I sail right by the function I want.
