Moen S3870EPBN Twist Handheld Shower, Brushed Nickel

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Moen S3870 is a slide bar shower, which means that it has an adjustable bar that sits against the front wall of the shower, allowing for height adjustment of the shower head. This is great for multiple-person families of different heights that want to be able to quickly adjust the shower head height for different people. This isn't something I need, but I did find the slide bar allowed me to raise the shower head several inches above my existing shower head, and the extra few inches make a fairly significant change.

Installation was somewhat easy, even with the poor instructions. I installed it in a standalone shower and had it running in less than ten minutes. It is very simple to change the spray pattern. With traditional handhelds, you have to turn a dial, which I've always found annoying. With the Moen, there are four different "massage" settings on each side of the shower head, which makes switching flow patterns easier. Unfortunately, I found most of the flow patterns to be pretty worthless because of poor water pressure. Usually you can manually fix this by removing a washer inside the shower head, but I couldn't figure out a way to do that with the Moen. My only other complaint is the chrome finish on it, which looks okay, but for this price I would expect a satin nickel finish and something that feels a bit more substantial.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Moen has created a good handheld shower with this model. The ability to change sprays is great. The installation was not too difficult and the ability to adjust the height of the showerhead is welcome. Unfortunately this model has at least two negatives. One is that the asking price is quite high for what you're getting. The quality is there, to a degree, which leads me to the second negative. The showerhead's spray holes (as with many other showers) will inevitably get black and dirty. There are showerheads that are fully metal which helps to avoid this problem. Considering the asking price, I'd say there is definitely room for improvement.

PLUSES: Nice appearance. Solid. The sliding shower head holder is of better quality than some I examined. The Moen twist showerhead works very well.

CONS: Pricey. If your shower has a horizontal listello and the vertical slide bar crosses it, the bar's strong line will disrupt the shower wall's presentation.

If you do not need height adjustment, you can buy the same Moen twist handheld showerhead and a Moen wall mount to obtain the same functionality at much lower cost.
