Tools and Hardware Reviews of Waterpik TRS-559 Elements 5-Mode Handheld Shower, Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Great showerhead; easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this shower head. It was very easy to install using just pliers to tighten it up and does not leak. I did remove the water saver washer thingey so as to have better water pressure, however, as I really like a lot of spray and some power behind it. This has several good settings, but mostly I use the middle range wide spray which is strong enough and full enough to get you rinsed well, but not hard enough to damage delicate skin. The more powerful setting ( which could just about put out an eye! ) I use only on my back if it's sore or painful, and I also use this stronger one to rinse soap film off the shower walls after I finish my shower, which saves on scrubbing the tub and shower walls as often. So far I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice removeable handheld or fixed shower head with only a few bells and whistles, one that works very well, has several different settings to meet average needs of most people, is reasonably priced, and seems of good quality material.Customer Review: Great showerhead, could use some improvement though...
Summary: 4 Stars
Before I begin, I have to say that the showerhead gives great pressure and gives a very strong, even, and wide flow from the head.
With that being said... The only way to achieve good flow is by removing BOTH the restriction plug AND the filter. When removing only the restriction plug, the water barely trickles out. This is one reason why it doesn't get the full 5 stars. Without the filter screen, there is a chance stuff will soon plug up the holes in the showerhead.
The other 'con' is that the hose that connects the shower head to the pipe is very heavy, not very flexible, and has the tendency to stick up off the wall. It would have been MUCH better if it was made out of flexible steel/aluminum piping or a softer material than rubber.
In the end though, the showerhead has a very elegant look, has great flow and very easy to switch settings, and does not have any issues with leaks. For under $25 - you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I read PRO and CON reviews. I should have believed the CON.
HOSE - The hose leaked so badly that I threw it out. Leaked with/without teflon tape. Leaked with rubber washer/ without rubber washer / with 2 rubber washers! It leaked so badly I find it hard to believe it was designed to work with this faucet. I threw it out and spent another $18 at hardware store for replacement hose (not Waterpik) that worked great immediately.
SHOWERHEAD - Cheap, flimsy. Turn the selector knob and the head pops off. I have to place my hand over the shower head push and then turn it to change water flow. I have subsequently found better showerheads at my local hardware store - for the same price! Lesson learned...
One star because it does allow the water to flow through its head. I'll replace it soon.
Customer Review: Works well, looks nice, priced right
Summary: 4 Stars
We recently purchased this showerhead to replace our much more expensive Peerless showerhead that was always leaking. So far we haven't had any problems with this one. The brushed nickel finish looks really nice but it's not solid metal. It is plastic that is coated to look like brushed nickel. It has a 5-foot hose and 5 unique spray settings. The spray settings are full-body spray, slow-massaging pulse,fast-massaging pulse, combo massage + spray and misting spray. It also has flow regulators that you can install or remove depending on how much water flow that you like. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes to install but I would recommend using some thread tape to help reduce the chance of leakage. The showerhead is protected by a lifetime warranty.Customer Review: la-la-la-love!
Summary: 5 Stars
we've needed a detachable shower head for years now, mostly to make bathing our 4 year old daughter(looong CURLY hair) & 5 year old son easier. & this one does it's job plus more! the style & coloring is nice, not cheap looking in the least, so far it's seemed heavy duty & held up to a family of four who bathe & shower usually more than 4 times a day total, & it's definitely helped in cutting the time spent cleaning the shower/garden tub, as well as washing our daughter's long & usually impossible hair! i would definitely recommend this product to just about anyone! & did i mention how great the price was for such an awesome product? the free shipping didn't hurt either!!
