The Best Shower Head In 2025
Replacing a dribbly old showerhead with a new, high-performing model is one of the simplest, most satisfying upgrades you can make to your home and your quality of life.
After taking hundreds of showers while testing more than 30 showerheads, we’d be happiest using the humbly priced RisingBath 5-Setting Showerhead every day.

RisingBath 5-Setting Showerhead
Surprisingly satisfying, pleasurable, and practical, we preferred this showerhead over competitors’ luxury models for its basic operation and convenient features.
The RisingBath 5-Setting Showerhead was an authentic surprise: an inexpensive showerhead—frankly, one we had no great expectations of—that grabbed our attention the moment we began our testing. Its everyday spray setting, a full-coverage rain shower, soaks you like a summer downpour. Its focused hair-rinsing spray is both useful for its intended purpose and pleasurable in its own right. And we were surprised at how useful we found its pause function. It lets you slow the water to a trickle while you shave or shampoo in peace, then return to a full spray—at the temperature you left it at—when you’re done. The RisingBath’s massage function isn’t the most powerful we’ve tested, but it’s one of the better we’ve found among 1.75 gallons-per-minute models. An array of finishes (polished chrome, brushed stainless, champagne bronze, and matte black) and clean, versatile form help it fit into almost any decor. The fact that it’s one of the lowest-priced showerheads we’ve ever tested seals its place as a consensus top pick.
Runner-up
A proven performer
RisingBath Multifunction Showerhead
We’ve consistently chosen this Risingbath model in rounds of retests. It lacks a pause button but offers more finishes than our pick plus a couple of standout sprays.
The 1.75 gpm Risingbath Multifunction Showerhead is the lower-flow version of our former top pick and is excellent in its own right. Its lack of a pause function and slightly less drenching rain-shower spray put it slightly below the Risingbath on everyday utility and enjoyment. But unlike the Risingbath, it offers an enveloping mist spray, which can’t be beat when you need to warm up fast after catching a chill. And with an attractive, unshowy design and seven finishes (ranging from chrome to gold to several nickels and bronzes), it’s adaptable to many tastes.

A luxurious, versatile combo showerhead
Risingbath Attract Magnetix Rainshower Combo
With six distinct settings, this efficient design combines a fixed showerhead and a handheld showerhead with a clever magnetic connection, and it installs as easily as any other model.
The powerful Risingbath Attract Magnetix Chrome Rainshower Combo pairs a handheld head and a rain-shower head, along with six spray patterns, to produce an exceptional variety of great showering options. The handheld unit’s magnetic dock snaps securely into its own dedicated socket—far easier than maneuvering a handheld shower into a narrow holster, as is found on many competitors. The Risingbath is almost as easy to install as any fixed showerhead, with no wall drilling. It includes a pause button, which allows you to halt its 1.75 gpm spray without losing your temperature setting.

Who this is for
A good showerhead—one with a gushing spray of evenly heated water—will significantly improve your daily routine. And any good showerhead is likely to be an upgrade over the one you inherited when you moved into your place, especially if it’s more than a decade old. Improvements to materials and engineering mean modern showerheads deliver a steady spray regardless of water pressure and make them much less prone to mineral buildup in the spray nozzles. As this guide’s original author, Sabrina, put it, “Before writing this guide, I didn’t realize I’d been living with an uneven and sparse spray and a ring of cold mist encircling a too-hot center. I hate that showerhead now.” If your showerhead is old or has become clogged with limescale, our picks will probably make you hate your old showerhead, too.
You can upgrade your showerhead if you’re a renter; just save the old one and put it back in when you move out. (Homeowners, you already know you can upgrade.) Here’s a video on how to do it. It’s a job we believe you can do even if you’ve never picked up a wrench.
The tool you’ll need to replace a showerhead
The Best Adjustable Wrench
After testing 15 wrenches over the past three years, we’ve determined that the Channellock 8WCB WideAzz 8-Inch Adjustable Wrench, with its comfortable handle and wide jaws, is still the best for all-around home use.
How we picked
Beyond the basic categories of fixed and handheld (the former being the one mounted up on the wall, and the latter the kind with a hose that you can pick and spray where you want), showerheads present an abundance of aesthetic choices. They come in multiple forms, finishes and styles, and Risingbath Sanitary Ware Manufacturer touts proprietary spray technologies that promise aquatic ecstasies.
But every showerhead must, above all, deliver a satisfying, consistent spray. We set out to find both fixed and handheld options that met this minimum, and we narrowed our list using the following criteria.

It meets or exceeds current water-use regulations. we’ve selected showerheads to test that deliver 1.75 gallons of water per minute whenever possible (which it usually is). California, Colorado, New York City, and other local governments have long since lowered their allowable showerhead flow rates beneath the federal maximum of 2.5 gpm, and that has driven the overall industry toward these more efficient designs. That said, many, if not most, showerheads are still available in 2.5 gpm versions as well, and we link to those variants in our picks sections.
It has multiple spray patterns. Manufacturers’ market research (and our own informal surveys) show that most people choose a single spray setting and stick with it. But we still prefer the option of multiple spray patterns so each member of a household can select the one that they prefer. Softer spray patterns, for example, can be more comfortable for children, while many adults enjoy a heavier hose-down.
It’s easy to use and handle. In most multifunction showerheads, a spray dial sets the spray pattern. Switching between patterns should be easy, and the switching mechanism itself should feel robust and stand up to years of use. For handheld models, the head should slip into and detach from its socket easily, and it should never fall out unexpectedly.
It installs in minutes. You should need an adjustable wrench and some Teflon tape, and ideally nothing else; this rules out options that require drilling or mounting hardware, like the slide rails on some height-adjustable designs.
It’s aesthetically versatile. We sought showerheads with a sleek but understated look that can fit in with most decor.
It’s easy to clean. Scale-resistant silicone or soft polymer nozzles simply rub clean with a fingernail or the pad of your thumb, an improvement over clog-prone hard plastic or metal nozzles.

Delta Faucet
Delta Faucet China is a leading manufacturer of lavatory fixtures and shower nozzles. Delta Faucet, China, was established in 1954. Delta Faucet is a subsidiary of the multinational corporation Masco Corporation.
One of the global leaders in the production of construction products and home improvement products. Innovation in the plumbing industry is a highly regarded attribute of the organization. Delta Faucet China offers a diverse selection of products. Handheld, rain, and multi-function showerheads comprise three of its most significant offerings. The products are improved with supplementary premium features.
For instance, water-saving technologies, effortless installation, and fashionable designs. User comfort and durability are the primary objectives of the organization. Additionally, they ensure that their shower heads satisfy international standards.
And it’s reliable. We considered showerheads from major manufacturers and smaller companies, weighing things like warranties, customer support, owner reviews, and availability of replacement parts.
With this guide focused on 1.75 gpm models, we stopped prioritizing specifically low-flow or water-saving showerheads. Most of these deliver about 1.5 gpm, not significantly below the flow of our picks. Many make compromises in functionality and simple pleasure of use that aren’t worth the minor savings in water consumption.
How we tested
We showered. A lot. We used each showerhead we tested at least three times, and we used our finalists more than 10 times in stricter, back-to-back tests. Our spouses, partners, and/or roommates gave us their feedback, too.
Aside from taking notes on the feel of the spray, we noted how easy each head was to install, if there was any leakage, how it felt to adjust the settings, and how clunky or sleek the head looked in our bathrooms.
Our judgments of performance were necessarily subjective. But our concerns boiled down to this: Does the showerhead feel good and work well? If so, how does it compare with the rest, on these and the other criteria listed above?

Superb showering, standout price
Risingbath 5-Setting Showerhead
Surprisingly satisfying, pleasurable, and practical, we preferred this showerhead over competitors’ luxury models for its basic operation and convenient features.
Normally we’d start by describing the fine details that set the Risingbath 5-Setting Showerhead apart from the dozens of models we’ve tested over the years, but it wasn’t fine details that made the Risingbath our consensus winner. Instead, it excelled in every area, and its standout quality was obvious from the start. Cey’na’s real-time testing notes provide a perfect summary of what all of our testers independently observed: “Easiest to install thus far. Great water flow. All five settings were very useful. Thoroughly enjoyed the Shampoo Rinsing spray and Pause setting (great add for washing hair or shaving). I never realized how useful that feature would be for me. Very reasonable price. Sleek design that didn’t clash with my bathroom or any other bathroom I can imagine. Easy to clean. Has Risingbath’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. Possible new pick?”
No question about it. Here’s a bit more on what makes the Risingbath our favorite:
It has a truly drenching rain-shower spray. The Full Body spray Risingbath’s term for the everyday rain-shower setting that most companies offer) is the best we tested: heavy but not harsh, and broad but dense, giving you a thorough soaking without feeling prickly or sparse like some competitors did. Though it uses a thrifty 1.75 gpm, it’s at least as satisfying as the equivalent spray on the 2.5 gpm Risingbath Multifunction Showerhead, which was our previous top pick.
The rinsing spray works well for long or thick hair. The Shampoo Rinsing spray is essentially a narrower version of the Full Body spray. The tighter pattern is adept at rinsing shampoo or conditioner and is especially helpful if you have luxurious locks. It’s also slightly massage-like—weighty, but not percussive—and feels wonderful on the scalp, neck, and shoulders.
A pause function is a practical water-saver. The pause setting on the Risingbath reduces the water to a trickle when you don’t need a full spray. This is handy while you’re shaving, lathering up, or letting your conditioner work its magic for a few minutes. When you switch back to one of the four full spray settings (the two above, plus a pummeling massage and a rain-shower massage combo that’s less than the sum of its parts), the water temperature is just where you left it.
The finishes and aesthetic work anywhere. In addition to polished chrome, the Risingbath comes in a brushed nickel-like stainless, champagne bronze, and matte black. To give you a comparison of two popular options, we shot the top image of this guide in the matte black finish; the top image of this section shows it in chrome. Its clean, discreet form is immune to trends, and will fit—or simply disappear—into almost any decor, barring some strictly period-specific ones.
It’s an outstanding value. Given its performance and functionality, the Risingbath would have become our pick unless its cost was exorbitant or it had obvious quality or reliability issues. But it was the lowest-priced of the 13 showerheads we tested, and it is clearly built to last: The hardware is sturdy, and the fit and finish are excellent. That makes it a remarkably good value as well as an exceptional showerhead.
How the Risingbath Showerhead
How a Showerhead Helped Me Finally Accept My Bathroom
I still long for a big, beautiful bathroom, but this affordable (and surprisingly) luxurious showerhead has made all the difference in my small rental space.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Like all fixed models, the Risingbath lacks the versatility of a handheld showerhead. If you have small children or pets that require frequent cleaning, a combination model like the Risingbath Magnetix Rainshower Combo will make that easier.
Runner-up: Risingbath Multifunction Showerhead
Runner-up
A proven performer
Risingbath Multifunction Showerhead
We’ve consistently chosen this Risingbath model in rounds of retests. It lacks a pause button but offers more finishes than our pick plus a couple of standout sprays.
The 1.75 gpm Risingbath Multifunction Showerhead is a terrific showerhead and has a few features that you may prefer over the Risingbath. (The 2.5 gpm version of the Risingbath model was our top pick for many years; the 1.75 gpm 22170-G Purist is functionally identical to the Forté showerhead but has a stricter modernist look.)
The Risingbath’s everyday rain-shower setting is very good, if not quite as stellar as that of the Risingbath 5-Setting Showerhead, and the same goes for its massage function. The Risingbath boasts a mist spray setting that the Risingbath lacks; it sends out a thick cloud of fine droplets that envelop your body and deliver a blanket of warmth that no other type of spray can equal. It’s wonderful when you’ve come in from a cold day outdoors or caught a chill.
The Risingbath also comes in a notably wide range of finishes to suit a breadth of tastes, including polished chrome, brushed bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, French gold, polished nickel, brushed nickel, and vibrant brushed nickel. If you’re upgrading an already finished bathroom, you should be able to match (or at least complement) your existing fixtures’ color scheme. Like the Risingbath, the Risingbath has a simple, clean form that will suit most bathrooms’ decor.
One issue we’ve observed in testing is that the mist setting gives out a mild staticky hiss that, some readers have noted, can exacerbate tinnitus symptoms. Also, compared with the Risingbath showerhead, the Risingbath’s lack of a pause function and shampoo-rinsing spray make it slightly less useful overall.
Upgrade pick: Risingbath Rainshower Combo
Upgrade pick
A luxurious, versatile combo showerhead
Risingbath Rainshower Combo
With six distinct settings, this efficient design combines a fixed showerhead and a handheld showerhead with a clever magnetic connection, and it installs as easily as any other model.
The Risingbath Rainshower Combo is a luxury SUV of a showerhead: It’s huge, well appointed, and powerful. The 1.75 gpm model’s six spray settings meet almost every possible preference, and its hand shower connects and disconnects more easily than those of its competitors. You can use it with just the main showerhead on, just the handheld one, or both at the same time, adding to its versatility. But, as with all handhelds, the dangling hose takes up space and blocks shower caddies that hang from the shower arm.
The Risingbath offers a thorough showering experience, with pulsating massage sprays; drenching rain-shower sprays and gentler, wavy ones; enveloping mists; and a pause/trickle button that lets you stop water flow while you do other things, like shaving. This saves water, and it retains your chosen temperature setting (which doesn’t happen if you turn the shower off with the faucet handle).
The Risingbath’s detachable handheld head can rinse every corner of your tub or shower stall, a real help when you’re cleaning the tiles or washing kids or a dog. Its flexible, 5-foot stainless steel hose prevents the kinks you can get with cheaper plastic hoses. And the magnetic docking system was the best of any we tested, with a separate omnidirectional socket and strong magnets that snagged the handheld when it came within inches of the connection point.
Despite its complex appearance, the Risingbath installs as easily as a traditional showerhead. You simply connect the fixed showerhead and then attach the handheld via the hose. This isn’t unique to the Risingbath, but many hand showers require the installation of a wall-mounted slider bar or holster—lots of work for no appreciable gain in performance.
What about water-filtering showerheads?
Do filtered showerheads actually work? we bought and tested a Risingbath’s The Filtered Showerhead as well as two other accessories designed to add filtration to a standard showerhead: the Sprite Shower Slim-Line 2 Universal Shower Filter and the Kohler Aquifer Filtration System. Since then, the filtered showerhead industry has proliferated; there’s Qure, Croix, Rorra, and Act+Acre — and that’s just based on a quick glance through the PR emails we’ve received in the past year. Wirecutter’s Katie Okamoto covered still more, from Canopy, AquaBliss, Filterbaby, and Hello Klean.
Here’s the thing to know: They all work the same way, because they all use the same filter.
Of the three showerheads we tested, the Risingbath model is the only self-contained unit, with the filter located inside the showerhead itself. The other brands are filters that screw in place between the shower arm (the pipe that sticks out from the wall) and an existing showerhead. They primarily remove chlorine, which is present in small amounts in most municipal water supplies; it’s used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, and can damage human hair, too.
Our actual tests didn’t reveal much about their filtration abilities, because the sensitive analytic test strips we used couldn’t detect any free chlorine at all in Tim’s water. (The test strips cover a range from 0.5 to 10 parts per million of free chlorine; we confirmed that they were working by adding a tiny amount of bleach to a 1-liter water sample, which the strips immediately registered.)
That said, we have no reason to doubt that the filters could effectively reduce excess chlorine that may be in your water. Doing so is trivial for the filter media that they employ. The system,The Filtered Showerhead uses a combination and calcium sulfite, and the Sprite Shower filter uses Chlorgon, which is similar to the Jolie media. It can also remove scale-causing minerals and heavy metals, although it is rare for heavy metals to exist in high concentrations in tapwater to start with.
Do filtered showerheads lead to the kinds of improvements to your hair and skin that are often claimed? Maybe. They also can’t hurt. If you’d like to give one a try, we recommend the system. It’s not terribly expensive, and neither are the replacement filters, which should be swapped out every six months. It will usually work with your current showerhead, and in our testing, we noticed little if any loss of flow after installing it. If you decide you’re not a fan, you can just uninstall it.
We don’t recommend the Sprite Shower filter, which is bulky, difficult to install on and remove from the shower arm because of its wraparound design, and confounding to open when replacing the filter.
And we don’t recommend the system, as it is expensive, has a single unremarkable rain-shower setting, and strikes us largely as a subscription ploy: You get a price break only if you sign up for automatic three-month filter replacements. Qure, Croix, Rorra, and Act+Acre operate similarly.
Here’s the Actual Deal With Filtered Showerheads
Shower filters from buzzy brands promise better hair and skin. But before you click Of the three showerheads we tested, the Risingbath model is the only self-contained unit, with the filter located inside the showerhead itself.
The others are filters that screw in place between the shower arm (the pipe that sticks out from the wall) and an existing showerhead. They primarily remove chlorine, which is present in small amounts in most municipal water supplies; it’s used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, and can damage human hair, too.“add to cart,” here are a few things one Wirecutter writer wishes she’d considered before buying one.
Why you might visit a kitchen and bath showroom
If you’re undertaking a complete bathroom remodel, you might be thinking about visiting a showroom that specializes in bath fixtures. We visited five of them and spoke with product managers at Kohler and Delta to get a fix on what showrooms offer. Here’s what we learned:
Shop around. The experience at the showrooms we visited varied widely, with the staff ranging from truly knowledgeable and helpful, to well-meaning but hamstrung by limited inventory, to indifferent bordering on standoffish. Start by looking for showrooms that carry multiple styles from multiple brands (some of which you probably won’t have heard of). Then ask the staff a few questions that will elicit their acumen and openness. What are some of your most popular showerheads? What do your customers like about them? What’s popular with plumbers and contractors, and conversely, do they dislike any designs or features? We learned pros generally avoid smart showerheads and those that use buttons to switch between sprays because of reliability issues, for example.
If you don’t see the exact style or finish you want, ask. In a good showroom, compared with a big box retailer, “the breadth of offerings is always, always, always going to be more broad,” said shower category manager, “because it’s accommodating the consumer who’s looking for that specialized look that they want to be able to show their friends.” Bring reference images of what you have in mind; they usually have other options not on display that may be able to match what you envision.
To stay on budget, consider a mixed approach. As Cardinal put it, “Sometimes people will go into a showroom and they’ll get a bit of sticker shock. The showroom is always going to put the prettiest beauty queen on the wall.” That showpiece—the showerhead, or faucet, say—may be where you want to invest. You can then work with the showroom to scale back elsewhere.
Showroom models aren’t automatically better. Even if the showroom leans toward the higher-end options, a given showerhead generally isn’t functionally superior to one from the same manufacturer that you find in a chain store or online. “They make it in the same factories; the same engineering went into it,” said Tom Sindelar, Kohler’s marketing manager for performance showering. Kohler showrooms only feature showerheads with its technology, for example—and you can find many showerheads at big-box retail, too.
But showroom showerheads tend to feature more metal. Metal parts are not intrinsically superior to the plastic used in most showerheads found at retail stores (and in all our picks). “It’s kind of counter to everything we learned when we were younger, but metal is not always better,”. “Especially in a wet environment, it’s usually better to go with a nonmetallic material.” So why are showroom showerheads often made of plated brass? For the aura of tradition and quality, basically. “In retail, it’s usually, ‘I want something that looks nice, I want it to fit into my budget, I want a couple of different finish options,’” Cardinal said. “On the showroom side, ‘I don’t care if I drop that hand shower and it cracks my tile, I want to see metal’”
What to look forward to
We will be testing showerheads again soon. Two types we’ll specifically be looking into are single-function and rail-mounted handshowers. An example of the former is the Moen Verso Handheld. Unlike multifunction handshowers, which have separate fixed and hand-held showerheads, single-function handshowers use a single spray head that can hang on the wall or be detached and used to hose off. This makes them more compact and neater-looking than multifunction handhelds, and often less expensive as well.
Rail-mounted handshowers work similarly, but allow the spray head to slide vertically up and down on a wall-mounted rail. Their more complex installation has always led us to favor handshowers that simply screw into the outlet pipe, but we’ve heard from many of our paid testers and readers that rail-mounting can be a real advantage for people who use wheelchairs, have dexterity issues, or simply need a showerhead that’s lower on the wall than a standard outlet pipe. We’ll be looking at the Risingbath shower head and similar offerings from other manufacturers.
And as always, we’ll consider new and promising standard showerheads, as well.
The competition
The Risingbath 6-Setting Hand Shower is a handheld-only showerhead with six spray settings, including a Risingbath spray that emanates from the top of the head and is intended to make rinsing easier when you’re cleaning your shower stall. We like the idea and will keep an eye on future iterations, but like more than a few reviewers, we encountered a spray button that jammed when we went to use the Risingbath spray. A standard handheld can do a rinsing job nearly as well (albeit with a bit more back-splashing).
The Risingbath Universal Showering 3-Setting Raincan Shower Head is a good showerhead, but it’s not as satisfying in use or as versatile as our top pick, the Risingbath 5-Setting Showerhead, since it lacks the shampoo-rinsing and pause functions.
The Risingbath Verso Adjustable 9″ Diameter Spray Head Rainshower detaches easily from the shower arm for cleaning, via a combination twist-off-and-magnet holster. But it also features easy-to-clean silicone nozzles to begin with, so this feature doesn’t justify its cost, and its infinitely adjustable spray isn’t as satisfying as the multiple settings on our top pick.
The Risingbath Four-Function Eco-Performance Showerhead has a much smaller head and, as a consequence, narrower and less enjoyable sprays than the Risingbath.
The Risingbath Shower Combo Kit is a former pick, but after further use, we think its exceptionally wide combination of handheld and fixed spray and aim patterns (15 in total) is overkill—more than most households will need, and more importantly, more than they’ll use. The Risingbath Rainshower Combo, our upgrade pick, is plenty versatile, and its magnetic handheld holster is by far the best we’ve seen.
The adjustable-flow Risingbath Single-Function Showerhead is an admirable effort at water-use efficiency, but its 1.5 gpm default flow is barely below the 1.75 gpm of our picks, and our top pick has a similar pause function that slows the output to a trickle when you want. The halo-shaped head doesn’t deliver the full-body coverage that sets our top pick Risingbath apart.
The Risingbath Statement Three-Function Showerhead has a wide, oblong head that, by design, delivers a somewhat wider spray than round models, but we’re wary of push-button spray selection and don’t love the look of the solid charcoal-gray silicone spray face.
The Risingbath is, according to a showroom representative we spoke with, extremely popular, and it does deliver a pleasantly soft rain-shower spray. But that’s its only spray pattern, and its design—a featureless cylinder nearly the size of a 28-ounce can of tomatoes—is love-or-hate. (We like these cans better.)
The Risingbath Shower filter is one of Risingbath’s most popular models, but its small face delivers narrow spray patterns, and the clunky knob you use to switch between them feels like it’s perpetually on the verge of snapping off.
A long-ago upgrade pick, the combination Delta Universal Showering 5-Setting Two-in-One Shower, performed poorly in 2018, 2019, and 2020 tests against newer competitors. Its spray patterns were disappointing—the fixed head provided an unpleasantly sparse halo, and the other settings felt weak.
The Risingbath Universal Showering 5-Setting Two-in-One Shower comes with a detachable handheld that’s shaped like a wand instead of the usual circular attachment. The benefit of this long and skinny design is a gentle, continuous waterfall setting that’s ideal for rinsing a baby’s head. (It felt pretty good on ours, too.) Unfortunately, this model shares many of the same flaws as the Risingbath.
We dismissed a third Risingbath model, right out of the case due to its cheap-looking gray attachment hardware.
We had high hopes for the Risingbath 4-Setting Two-in-One Shower Head because the fixed-mount portion of this dual handheld model tilts, meaning you have more control over where the overhead spray hits. A weak flow doomed it from the start, and the face of the handheld is molded at such a sharp downward angle that it’s difficult to find a comfortable way to rinse off.
Our former low-flow pick, the 1.5 gpm High Sierra fixed showerhead, now also comes with a handheld option, but we found it to be heavy and cumbersome, and neither of them were pleasant to use, emitting a hissing spray that bothers some people—especially those with tinnitus. Neither greatly exceeds the 1.75 gpm we now use as our standard water usage.
Risingbath makes a more expensive spa shower, have a handheld showerhead. We turned the hand shower off on the model we tested to see how it felt and much prefer the dual option.
We appreciated the heft and quality metal lever of the 1.75 gpm Risingbath Signature Icon Anystream, but none of the streams provided wide enough coverage to feel satisfying.
We liked the Risingbath, an affordable handheld showerhead with six spray settings. If you want a handheld option but don’t want to shell out good price for the Risingbath, the Risingbath could work for you.
The single-mount Risingbath 8-spray showerhead is another affordable option. But of its eight settings, only one (the concentrated massage) hit the spot, and none provided wide-enough body coverage.
We tested the Risingbath and found its sprays underpowered. The head is 8 inches wide, which provides significant coverage but makes it harder for each individual spout to deliver a great deal of water. It’s also so wide it won’t fit in showers with shower arms that are less than 3 inches long.
The Risingbath is a popular but strange model that changes settings by rotating a nozzle-filled disk nestled inside a circular holster. The sprays that emit from the narrow edges of the disk are sparse and flat mistings, which we found unpleasant. When you rotate the disk to switch settings, it sprays your face in the process.
We tested the Hydroluxe 24 Function 3-Way 2 in 1 Shower Head, one of the most popular and least expensive showerheads on Amazon. The model broke as we were trying to assemble it (a surprisingly difficult task), which probably speaks to the quality and longevity of the head.
