Moen Velocity Chrome Two-Function Rainshower 8-Inch Shower Head with Immersion Technology for a High-Pressure Rinse, S6320

When looking for a rainshower-type shower head, I did a lot of googling for reviews and chose one or two candidates. But before making the purchase I checked the brand of faucets we already have and saw it was Moen (not one of the ones I was originally considering), and I did a specific search for Moen rainshower shower heads and found this one. I figured the quality would be pretty good because Moen isn't cheapo, and the price was reasonable (and much less than many of the showers). So I decided to try it and if it's not that great at least I haven't risked hundreds of dollars. I also researched what sort of special connections and installation I might need. I wanted it to fit my standard shower pipe in the wall (not ceiling). Some rainshower shower heads said they require professional installation. I wasn't sure with this one because it didn't have special instructions or diagrams. Well it couldn't have been simpler. We literally unscrewed our old shower head (loosening it with a wrench of course) and screwed this one right on. Bingo! Instant shower head! And when we turned it on, no adjustments were needed, it provided a wide spray of beautiful rain. The dual setting allows a lighter-landing spray or a slightly stronger one. I liked that choice because in reviews of other rainshower shower heads, a lot of people complained the stream wasn't strong enough to wash shampoo out of hair. We have it set on the softer setting and since our water isn't soft, it washes out shampoo just fine and is plenty strong. I thought I was in heaven for that first shower. It provides such a nice cover of water that I don't even have to use the second shower head I had installed in the master shower (I used to always run two shower heads at once). I should save a lot of hot water by just using this one shower head. So I guess you can see I LOVE this so far. I've only had it a week so I don't know about longevity yet. But it appears very sturdy and well-made. FYI I was at Home Depot the day after I bought this online and looked to see if they had the same thing and how much it cost, but they don't carry this model, they have different Moen rain shower shower heads. I highly recommend. NEW ADDITION TO REVIEW: Since I first wrote this review, I bought the same showeheads for all of our bathrooms and everybody in the family loves them. I don't think they could be any easier to install. I'm very pleased... the only outstanding question I won't know for some time is how long they hold up. But quite frankly for this great of a shower at this price, if I had to screw on another one in a few years it would be worth it.

Reviewing shower heads is tough because opinions are subjective and people really like different things. I feel comfortable giving this 5 stars though, because I bought it 6 months ago and never regretted it. Here's the scoop: This is a lovely showerhead in every respect, and provides good water flow rate, even without any modification. It is a rainfall style, so it is a full array of little jets that feel like a heavy rain, but it is NOT a high-powered spray. That's the matter of preference. I truly like both styles, but I think I prefer the rainfall style for daily use, as it's more relaxing and comfortable. It also provides enough water coverage to reasonable wet two people showering at once, a thing I care a lot about.If you are looking for a high powered jet, like many old hotels use, this is NOT the showerhead you want. But if you want a more spa-like drenching rain style, then THIS is a good option. I haven't had issues with jet clogging yet, though once a month or so I have to flick my finger across a silicone jet to "reset" it. This is typical of any small opening and hard water. I am using a cheap delta shower arm extender to bring the showerhead farther out into the shower so I can stand mostly under it. This is a great setup! I imagine that if you are not using an extension arm, the power might not be enough to launch far out into the shower area adequately. Again, that is just the type of shower head this is designed to be.

This is the best shower head I have ever been privileged to indulge myself with. I bought this and amazing isn't saying enough about it. It has two adjustable speeds and both are a different but, equally as pleasant slice of heaven. One mode gently trickles rain drops all over your body. The other mode is a little more forceful but is very massage like in its demeanor. I adore the way this shower head feels to my senses and every shower is exotic and romantic, even if it’s just me by myself. I can't help but climatically moan out in ecstasy like that lady in the herbal essence commercials every time I wash my body under this seducing drizzle-tastic machine of emotions. I cannot express in words how worth the money this is and oh, I forgot to mention because of my lucid fantasy day dream while describing this metal miracle that it is as durable and well-made as it is deliciously decorative. This has a lifetime warranty and is well worth the money. Did I mention the self-cleaning rubber nozzles? Oh, in deed it absolutely does feature these wonderful, zero maintenance gadgets. Also it is very easy to install. Just a few spins around the ol' water spout and in no time, you will be showering in bliss for years to come!
