This head generates excellent pressure at only 2.5gpm and full coverage. It feels like more pressure than my generic showerhead with regulator removed, which allows 3.7gpm. The water flow of this Delta looks quite messy, but is not bad. The air that is added to the water to boost pressure does make it sting ever so slightly, but not as bad as most showerheads that use air to boost pressure. (The Oxygenics Trispa uses similar technology but it really hurts if you have average water pressure.) The build quality is excellent too.
I have tried over 10 showerheads recently, and this one has the 2nd best pressure of all of them. (The "best" one stings too much.) I highly recommend this showerhead. It is the one I plan to keep using. Sadly, it does not come in a handheld version.
Excellent showerhead

This is a very well designed product. It was purchased to replace a Waterpik showerhead that had outlived its usefulness. The Delta Fluidics showerhead looks substantial when you take it out of the package, and does not feel cheap at alll. Certainly not twenty-five dol lars cheap.
It installed in 25 seconds, with no leaks or other issues.
The real magic is to turn this thing on and get under it. It works like a charm! I have pretty low pressure in my upstairs bathroom, and this thing is like a miracle worker, creating a great spray that's a great mixture of power and coverage.
I wound up not using it on the high power setting, it was too "diffused" with aeration. The lower setting was plenty powerful. As noted above, plenty of coverage and good power. It's the first "aerated" showerhead that I've used which hasn't been slightly stinging or uncomfortable to be under for an extended amount of time.
Hard to believe that it's rated as a 1.8gpm flow. I highly recommend this product.
Works as designed ... and advertised

What can I say. It's a shower head ;-). The lever toggles between 1.8 gallons per minute and 2.5 GPM. We leave it at 1.8 all the time since there isn't much difference to the 2.5 GPM setting. The shower feels good and not 'thin' as the really cheapy/stingy showerheads from the past - you know the kind: cone shaped and not much more water than an outdoor mister you find in the outdoor seating section at restaurants. At the same time, don't expect the same experience as a 4-5 GPM head. In our opinion a small sacrifice to make to conserve water.
Day after day, day after day,
We bathed without emotion
As boring as a dripping tap
Just draining to the ocean
Not hot nor cold, could be controlled
Our shower was the worst
It either kept the water in
Or loosed it in a burst
"Twas time, it was, to make a change
"cos this old one is cursed
[The purchase is made, the Delta Amplifying Shower Head is installed]
We put thread tape around the threads
And tightened easily
And from the first the torrent burst
And filled us all with glee
Water, water, everywhere
Much easier than you'd think
Water, water everywhere
Drops big enough to drink
Ah! Well-a-day! What happy looks
Had I from old and young
Our ancient cross, our Albatross
Into the trash was flung
Farewell, farewell, but this I tell
To thee my dear house guest
If you should stay with me today
Our shower is the best.
Pros:
1. Aesthetically pleasing
2. Lifetime Warranty
3. Easy to install - only thread tape needed (not included)
4. Uses less water without sacrificing pressure
5. Has two settings - the water-saving 1.85 gpm and the high volume 2.5 gpm
6. Water pressure feels more powerful
7. Spray holes don't need cleaning
8. Affordable, and great value for money
Cons:
1. People don't want to come out of the shower - ever! (Can cause chronic lateness)
2. Now I have to go buy these for every shower in the house

The BEST shower head i have bought !!!
Reviewed by: J. Rodgers, Jacksonville, FL Review Date: 2008-02-27
After searching Amazon I found the Delta Fluidics Adjustable Shower Head, after reading the reviews I ordered one. Well every review is right this is a great shower head!!! I have always have bought the $50 to $60 massaging shower heads and took out the water restrictors so I would get the high pressure I like. Of course then making it flow at least 4 gallons per minute. After reading about the Delta Fluidics Adjustable Shower Head I thought I would give it a try.
The Delta Fluidics Adjustable Shower Head is built very well I don't think there is anything to break or clog ever. Trying it out on the 1.8 setting it's a nice gentle spray but still enough power to spray off soap. On the 2.5 setting its has very good pressure to penetrate all the way to your scalp when washing your hair. But the BEST thing about this shower head is the spray pattern. The 4 jets spray out in a cone pattern creating a full coverage spray across your whole body. Unlike a ring of water jets that sprays out of a regular showerhead. This full body coverage makes the water feel hotter that it actually is and will save your hot water.
After my first use I'm ordering a second shower head for my other bathroom!!! And for only $25 you won't be disappointed :)

I just love this showerhead, and the other models by the same company with the flexible neck. It was super easy to install, and it makes the water pressure seem so much more! I like the various settings, but the best part is that it stays just where you put it. I'm short and my husband is tall, so it's really great to have a showerhead the right height for both of us. I got one, and i liked it so much that when i moved i bought one for both bathrooms and for my mom! (She loves it now too!)
It's cheap, easy to use, overall, it's the BEST EVER. =) I highly recommend it! I got my first one at Home Depot, but now i can only find them online.

Works Wonderfully, Easier to Adjust Than Older Model
Reviewed by: Jumesan, Alexandria, VA United States Review Date: 2007-06-16
Bought this Waterpik to replace one that I'd had for about 10 years. This one is just as easy to install, just screw on, no tools needed. The adjustment compared to the older versions is much easier to do as well. We like the adjustable neck because it stays in place and can be adjusted for a wide variety of heights. All in all a great value.
It's great because of the flex hose part. I hate it when the shower head is so high ... by the time the water hits your body you feel like you have to be in the shower forever to wash the soap off. With the flex showerhead you can aim it closer to your body with faster pressure. The six modes are great for when my neck is a little sore and needs a little water pressure to relax it a little. 100% great buy!

I've used this Culligan Hand Held Shower head for 3 years now, and I just love it. It's one of the best things I've ever purchased, has made my showering much easier and more enjoyable. Love that I can hold the shower head in my hand to just rinse my hair or wash my feet if need be. Open and flip the filter over every 3 months if it seems clogged, change it every 6 months. Could not be better or easier. Wish I would have been using this for the last 25 years!
Flexible Shower Head
Reviewed by: ReviewerA, Review Date: 2009-06-27
So far, we like it just fine. As mentioned in other reviews, the spray is a little straight-forward but the different settings will allow you to find something that will be live-able. The filter seems good and the water was fine (clean shower). We didn't have bad city-water before...but we like the idea that it will be even better now. The flexibility of the hand-held w/hose will be great with baby when she comes (later this year). Drawbacks might be that, as a hand-held, it is just a little bit heavy. However, we are looking forward to using it to clean baby either way. It seems that filter changing is quite easy. Probably a person should stock up on the filters ahead of time since you are change it every six-months (or more often if you have bad water). Included was a calendar sticker to help remind you when to change filter out (nice feature). The install was a snap (as you have read in other reviews). Really easy. Of note might be the fact that the "holder" for the showerhead is at the "base" of the showerhead so this unit will actually make the height at which your "water comes out" about 8 inches higher than it was before you changed from conventional showerhead to this one. The hose seems really solid and the rest is made of the chrome plastic we are all used to working with by now. Seems solid though. We weren't able to find anything else on the market, including the filter, that was as reasonably priced as this unit.

Have city water, my eyes would burn when I got water in them, when I got water in my mouth it tasted like crud, my skin was dry and itchy, and to top it off my sinuses were bothered after taking a shower. This shower head has taken care of ALL these issues and to top it off the shower head itself is great-the water pressure has improved.
*****
Regards to a couple of the comments I've seen;
"Great quality, easy to install, poor angle of spray".
If you have two wrenches you can angle the spray where you want it. Takes some adjusting and a few extra minutes, but you can get the angle where you want it.
"This would be a great product if the part that connects to the shower pipe was made of metal instead of plastic, ..... cracked when tightening it."
If you have a rag of some sort you can place that over the plastic pieces and tighten with a wrench; just be sure not to over tighten-gently and smoothly tighten the pieces. Plus, so many other showerheads on the market have plastic pieces; it's really no big deal. The quality of the head itself is good.

All-in-All this really is a great product, I'm even thinking of getting one for our guest bathroom.

I've had this for four years now. But A pipeline repair that put dirt in the line and clogged the holes has forced me to replace it. I purchased another more expensive brand at a local store and the force of the spray is very weak in comparison. So I'm buying another one of these at Amazon. This baby really blasts the water - if you want it to. The massage setting is really great. I've had no problems with the swivel mount. It's been 100% trouble free. A great bargain.

Don't let it's plain looks fool you! I'd never owned a waterpik before picking this one up. But I've been impressed...!
I wasn't even shopping for a showerhead that day, but just happened to see the isle display in Wal-Mart, and it reminded me that the one we've had for a while had gotten progressively worse. The design of the old shower head had little rubber plugs that the water flowed through, and those little rubber bits break off when you're giving it a good disinfectant cleaning. The plugs affect the flow and direction of the water, so it's an erratic splatter once the plugs have broken away.
Unhappy with that effect, I examined all the display from expensive to cheap shower heads. There were only a few designs, and I was taken aback at how many had that eventual problematic rubber plug design. With very few choices in the mid range, I opted for the simplest Waterpik model with 4 settings and a 5 foot hose. If you're looking for a pounding water massage on your shoulders, then this might not be the one for you. But if you prefer the rain shower effect, and need one quick, then this one is worth a try! Good job Waterpik!

We have had one in our Bahamas house for 3 years and still looks clean and pretty much like it did when it was new. Recommend it.

Costco was recently offering a $[...] After $[...] OFF Hansgrohe Monsoon
Shower Set. I was curious if Amazon.com was offering that brand for cheaper, because all I wanted was the hand shower attachment. Sure enough, I found this hand shower kit for only $[...]. The online reviews were good so I purchased.
The kit came a day earlier than expected. I installed in less than 5 minutes with no tools, using the illustrated instructions on the packaging. I checked for leaks...none. With the shiny chrome finish, the kit looks classy, stylish, and luxurious. I took my first shower this morning and this piece heightened my shower experience! The water pressure felt so good. The kit heightens the shower nozzle, which is great for me, because I am 6'2". I definitely recommend.

$26 is what it is worth
Reviewed by: Doctor Sam, Stanford, CA USA Review Date: 2010-08-22
Don't be tricked into thinking this is a $125 handheld shower. It is not. It is worth at most the $26 they are charging for it. The hose is a weird, soft rubber hose sprayed silver. It is not metal nor plastic. It is easy to assemble, even though there are no instructions. The power of the water spray is adequate but not high. There are only two settings: full spray and "massage." But the massage setting isn't anywhere near powerful enough to actually give you the massage sensation. Overall, I would say it is just a regular, average handheld shower. It doesn't look or perform any better than others I have used.
