Waterpik CF-201 Cascadia Dual Mode 8-Inch Showerhead, White

Waterpik CF-201 Cascadia Dual Mode 8-Inch Showerhead, WhiteFor the first few months this showerhead was great. I liked the toggle option to switch between the raining mode and the stronger center spray. Unfortunately the toggle and the showerhead housing are flimsy. I pressed the toggle button in too far and it cracked the entire housing, which caused water to spray out of both the showerhead and the showerhead base. I switched to a Delta stainless steel raining showerhead and I like it far more.

We have 2 of these in the house now. Very easy installation; it takes less than 5 minutes. The rain mode is great for showering and the power mode rinses your hair.

I read that a previous reviewer had a problem with switching modes and the water coming coming out half-and-half. I had a similar problem on my second showerhead after a few months and WaterPik had *excellent* customer service. Normally you are lucky even for companies to acknowledge you. WaterPik returned my web inquiry with a phone call and sent me a replacement at no charge. I'd happily buy from WaterPik again.

I owned this for about a year and a half before the plastic mount cracked at the base and would no longer support the shower head. Here's a summary of my thoughts after ownership:

Pros:

Very easy installation. Compared to other shower heads I've installed, this was one of the easiest considering its bulky design.

Rain effect is relaxing, but not too impressive.

Cons:

Flexible arm does not hold the heavy shower head in position after about 6 months of normal use. Repeated adjusting may damage the plastic mounting.

Rain effect does not rinse soap off very well while showering. The second setting helps with this, but produces more of an uncomfortable sharp needle effect.

Overall: Shop around for a better model this one has some quality issues.

This is Waterpik's version of the upscale, broad shower heads found in luxury hotels and upscale catalogues. The truth is, it works beautifully without costing a fortune. There are 2 spray options, one utilizing all the peripheral nozzles, the other concentrating the flow through the hub for more power. It is easily bent to the angle of your choice, and durability appears to be good. Installation requires only a wrench and takes less than 10 minutes.

I've held off reviewing this for a couple of years now, waiting to see how it would hold up. My initial experience was very positive. Took about five minutes to install, and the only tool required was a wrench to remove the old shower head.

The back story is that my wife fell in love with those big, cascading showerheads at a nice hotel, and wanted one for home. I had bought her a metal one at Home Depot, and it was OK for a while, but eventually lost pressure and just kinda trickled. This WaterPik model claimed to regulate the pressure, so it sounded like a good step.

I was concerned about the plastic construction and the weight of the showerhead possibly causing the whole thing to droop over time.

Two years later, I can report that the water pressure is still excellent, the plastic has held up perfectly, and the shower head still holds up, even though we adjust it fairly frequently. We've been so pleased with it, we bought two more (yes, we have three showers), and all are working great. Guests rave about the wonderful showerhead (especially those who used the rather feeble ones we used to have).

All in all, I'm totally satisfied after two years of daily use.
