Waterpik Shower Heads Reviews

I love the design on this one.

While ugly, the flexible hose that locks in place where you set it is always nice and convenient, making it perfect for families that share the same shower, adjusting to any height (the hose is 18 inches, making it very adjustable).

The 6 settings move it up in my estimation among some of the similar offerings from Waterpik as well, giving the full range of expected settings: full body spray, pulse massage, high pressure massage, jet function, and combination settings.

The tiny 3.5 inch face is a bit disappointingly small, but that gives it a focus other products lack (making it great for thick hair), and makes it perfect as a second shower head (like a handheld you can freely let go of without worrying about it falling to the ground).

For the asking price (little over $40), this is an EXCELLENT unit.

A very strange dual type.

Most dual design consist of a fixed shower head and a handheld in one. They’re also usually pretty cumbersome and I don’t like them; they feel awkward to use and my shower feel smaller.

This is neither, which is odd, but not unwelcome. The top head is a rainfall style, while the bottom has more intense sprays, allowing for very nice combinations of the two.

The top part only does “drenching rainfall”, or a combo of that and the Power Spray from the bottom shower head.

The bottom gives you an assortment of a full body spray, Power Spray, pulse massage, and a combination of any of those three with the others, for a total of 7 settings across the two heads.

The price is about what you’d expect for two parts (a little over $60), which is a great price for this odd duck of a combo shower head. I’d give it a try unless you have a pressing need for a handheld.

As a high pressure junkie, I really like this one.

The main settings are nothing to get excited about, but they’re a nice assortment: full body spray, Power Spray, a combo of either of the above plus a pulse massage, water saver, and pause.

The real draw, however, is the Power Pulse massage, a high pressure massage that boasts twice the pressure of a normal shower massage function, making it the closest you can get to a deep tissue massage with a shower head.

Lightweight (though sturdy) plastic and touch clean nozzles round out this under $40 package, and it ends up as one of my favorite Waterpik products.

The original massage shower head is still pretty good.

First thing that comes to mind: I like that all the settings are clearly labeled on the face. Most (including a lot of the ones from this brand) make you kind of guess which setting you’re on. It’s a nice feature.

The 6 settings themselves are also pretty nice: full body spray, Power Spray, pulse massage, slow massage, a combo of full body and massage, and the evergreen favorite: a pause feature.

While the flow is a bit low for my taste at 2.0 GPM, it makes up for it with a high pressure form its small 3.5 inch face. While a bit small for some’s taste, it makes a good high pressure shower out of the flow it has.

Construction is nothing to speak of: plastic and chrome, easy to clean nozzles, but for under $30 you can’t expect more.

A handheld version of the above option.

These take equal spots in my estimation, both are the same in most regards. Same settings (full body spray, Power Spray, pulse massage, slow massage, a combo of full body and massage, and a pause option), same construction (plastic, chrome, and easy clean nozzles), and nearly the same price (this one’s a little over $30.

This all comes down to whether you think this works better as a fixed or handheld option. I can see arguments for both. The massage options are always better in a handheld in my opinion, but the regular shower options work exceedingly well from a fixed perspective.

I’d give both a look, and pick your favorite.

A fixed version of the Power Pulse handheld.

This one sits significantly lower just because massage functions aren’t nearly as desirable in a fixed unit. The main settings (full body spray, pulse massage, water saver, power spray, a combo of  power or full body spray plus pulse massage, and pause) are fine, but the Power Pulse massage is the main draw, and it’s just not that satisfying when only aimable at head and neck.

While $10 cheaper than the handheld version, so not a bad price, it’s not as good as some of the other options.

No settings, but not bad.

This one only has one setting, one Waterpik touts as “high pressure Rainfall+”.

While not true rainfall (it doesn’t fall, it’s an angled, fixed unit), it’s pretty nice. The 6 inch wide face gives a very wide coverage at a good pressure (which usually drops the larger the face), making for a very satisfying hot shower.

While the construction is nothing to speak of (plastic and chrome, touch clean nozzles), and it has no settings, the main function is good enough for me to recommend it IF you like the setting it provides.

For a little over $30, it’s not too bad all in all. Give it a try if it sounds appealing.

An interesting design, though still fairly standard.

This is a shower head for a very specific kind of person. It’s an eco flow (2.0 GPM) with an extra wide spray from its convex face, giving it 50% wider coverage than the average types. These two combined make it great for someone who wants a water saver shower head that also envelops similar to a rainfall shower head (though sadly, still from the wrong angle).

Other than that, it’s a pretty standard unit. Plastic with a chrome finish, easy to clean nozzles, two settings (power spray and full body spray), and the head can be rotated as well for a slightly different spray, and it comes with pressure boosting technology for 30% more pressure.

For under $40, not a bad deal, though is a bit niche.

As simple as it gets, but it will get you clean.

I’m always torn on what to think about “faux rainfall” types. On the one hand, they can often give a passable imitation of a true rainfall shower head at a much, much cheaper price. On the other hand, they are much smaller and don’t give the full experience, while lacking any of the adjustments or extra settings an equivalent price traditional unit would.

This one sits lower on the list for that reason; while it’s made of quality materials (high grade plastic, chrome, and touch clean nozzles) and has a very good extendable arm (adjustable to be comfortable for people well over 6 feet tall) and has a good price (well under $40), it doesn’t do as much for you as a traditional shower head with a rain setting, and isn’t as good at being a rainfall as a true rain shower head (being only 6 inches across its face instead of the minimum 8 I’d consider for a true rainfall type).

Ugly, but not terrible.

This one is in a bit of an awkward position. While cheap (not much over $30), it’s not cheap enough to give it a pass on being a very simplistic and hideous application of the rainfall design. The adjustable hose is nice, but hardly revolutionary; most rainfall types shave an adjustable arm anyway.

This leaves it as having its large face (12 inches, but very few nozzles for a rainfall design) and Power Spray alternate setting as its only claim to fame, which doesn’t speak too well of it all in all.

The construction being entirely plastic doesn’t really help matters on the quality front. It’s better at being a rainfall style than the above option, but not by too terribly much. Give it a look if you want a cheap test of what a rainfall shower feels like if you’ve never had one before, but avoid otherwise.
