Tools and Hardware Reviews of Interbath All Directional Chrome Showerhead
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
No matter how many times and attempted to screw this shower head onto my existing shower stem, it would never line up in the proper position. This shower head system is missing an additional "joint" to allow for fine-tuning of the position of the shower head when it reaches the tightest point. Mine happened to reach the tightest point when the shower head was pointed sideways. Without the extra joint, there was no way for me to align it properly unless I loosened it a quarter turn, which would cause water to leak. I'm pretty sure I installed it properly, but not positive because there were absolutely no instructions included.Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 4 Stars
You can't beat the price, if this is what you're looking for. The quality is adequate, etter than the price would imply.
My son is 6'4", so he needed something with an extension arm to make it high enough. I figured re-plumbing the arm wouldn't be much cheaper and definitely harder and riskier, too.
He likes it, so I'm happy. He said he used to spend so much time in the shower because he would turn around and around trying to stay warm. He does spend less time in the shower, but I think it is due in part to the motion sensor/timer I put on the light. :) When the light goes out, he knows he's been in ten minutes, and he can wave his hand outside the shower for another ten minutes of light, but he needs to start thinking about getting out.
One more thing: I figured if he didn't like the shower head, I could put his old head on the extension (I've done this with another brand), but that is not an option. As I said, though, it's not a problem either.
Customer Review: good showerhead for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
I had one just like this before but our water basically wore it out. It has nice pressure and a good stream. My in-laws really like it when they come to visit . As the title implies it's a good showerhead for the money.Customer Review: If I could replace the head it would be perfect. But it's still good.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because it was inexpensive and I thought I might be able to replace the head if it wasn't quite what I wanted. Well, the head is pretty generic and I would like to upgrade it (continuing to use the nice extension), but that doesn't work. Still, if you are OK with a plain vanilla spray, this is an excellent value.
Pros:
--All metal and seems well-made (some similar models are reported to be flimsy plastic).
--Easy to install (good thing, since there are no directions).
--Gentle flow with good coverage for one person (with flow limiter still in).
Dimensions:
--Pivot-to-pivot = 8.5"
--Max extension (from original pipe to center of shower head) = 11"
--Shower head diameter = 3.5"
Cons:
--The main con for me, and maybe others, is that you can't remove the shower head and replace it with another head. It does not have a standard fitting at the shower head end. Yes, the picture looks like it does, but it doesn't. So if you are getting this as an inexpensive extension for a fancier head, you'll be disappointed. Which is a shame because it's a pretty good extension at less than half the cost of some extensions by themselves.
--If that's not an issue for you, there really are no cons unless you're looking for a pummeling spray (which might be available if you remove the limiter, but I haven't tried that).
Other:
--Both pivots rotate in the same plane. Up and down (unless you install it at an angle, and then only in that plane). Not really a con, since the head does rotate, but not quite "all-directional."
--The 2 up-down pivots are easy to adjust (firm thumb and finger pressure are sufficient to loosen and tighten) but my sense is that they may be the weak points (or maybe the leak points) if your family adjusts them a lot. OTOH, who cares if they end up leaking a bit? You're taking a shower, after all. I haven't had any trouble, so this is just a guess.
Customer Review: Very good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't realize how small the shower head was going to be when I bought it (no affect on the rating), but it isn't much larger than a standard handheld shower head. The pressure is fairly good, but when I remove all of the restrictors, it puts out so much water that my shower can't drain fast enough. The pivot points leak slightly but it's barely noticeable. I love that the head rotates with ease, and how easy it is to adjust the height. If you want to conserve water, this probably isn't the showerhead for you. Otherwise, for the price, you really can't top it.
