Tools and Hardware Reviews of Alsons 654CPK Standard Style Shower Head, Chrome
Customer Review: wasn't impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this based on the reviews of others and was disappointed.
For me the spray was very concentrated into a single area (in retrospect, by looking at the design, I should have guessed) but anyway just so as everyone else is aware, this is highly directional, think garden hose.
Also the holes were so fine, that the water felt more like a mist than a shower.
On the good side though is that it's well built, it just didn't fit my needs. I ended up going down to ACE Hardware and buying an AquaSource #item36572 1-spray setting wall-mount showerhead instead. It was about twenty bucks and made a huge difference.
Customer Review: Not nearly as good as past experience.

Currently we use an older low flow Alsons type head that still works perfectly after more than 10 years. It is the favorite shower head in the house! Good hard spray with standard sized drops. Only wish I could find another. The mfg as I understand it, after quite some web research I did, was sold along with the patent. Whoever bought it, Alsons or somebody else, does not have it right. This model we just purchased has a mist spray that is just not satisfactory. I was trying to get the family to use other showers we have, but this head is not going to make that happen.Customer Review: Simple and to the point

I'll be honest--this is a NO FRILLS showerhead, not a luxury model. However, it does a number of things very well. It excels with low water pressure, giving a fine sharp spray (that also generates a lot of steam, nice for warming up the shower on a cold morning). What I really love about it is that it comes apart easily with an allen wrench, allowing you to thoroughly clean it for reassembly--very important if you have a house with incredibly hard water. Try disassembling a complex sealed plastic showerhead! Easily worth the extremely low price.Customer Review: Works great

I have been using nothing but this kind of shower head since they first came out about 15 years ago. The head breaks the water down into a very fine spray and uses less water than the regular types. I love the feel. A typical head lasts for about two years before it needs replacing. The pressure of the water erodes the water holes and the spray becomes uneven. But at that cheap price, replacement every couple of years is a trivial expense.Customer Review: incredible head!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this shower head. It increases the pressure in a big way and feels more like a "steam room" than a shower. It also saves water, which is nice for the environment.
I would recommend this to anybody, although it's not for everybody. It's different than most shower heads, which waste a lot more water. This is more like the shower head you'd see in a gym or public bathroom. Not luxurious, but gets the job done.
