hansgrohe Raindance Select E - shower head, hand shower square (120 x 120 mm) with 3 sprays, with anti-limescale function, chrome, 26520000

this is a high end shower head and not cheap but is an excellent quality item. having tried all 3 modes which are extremely easily changed using the easy to operate push button conveinienly positioned on the facing side of the showerhead 1. raindance flow 2. aiiiated raindance mode and 3. flow thro the contre row of 3 holes which twist the flow and is quite strong flow. i think i prefer the 1. raindance position which has a good dousing effect. the 2nd airiated flow is a stronger raindance flow which probably best used to wash away soap suds. the overall feel of this showerhead is a good weight and size i tried a bigger dia head(plastic and cheap just to try) and found it way to big and cumbersome this i think gets the size about right and wouldnt want it any bigger i think i would recommended this product highly although some will baulk at the high price but think it is far superior to cheaper units and will no doubt last a lot longer

When I moved in, this house had Hansgrohe shower handsets - the tubular ones they call 'wands' which though not cheap are frankly are next to useless (though they do a decent job of bathing the dog.) They came with non-adjustable brackets that held them at an angle of 90 degrees - again, next to useless for showering, just a place to hang them. I replaced the wand with this shower head and the bracket with a £6 adjustable holder in chrome-look plastic from our local hardware chain (rhymes with Brewfix) and have never looked back.Be aware however that you might have to replace the hose too to get the full capacity of this head - the standard hose the wands were fitted to just doesn't have the flow rate. Look for an 11mm diameter hose.The three spray settings are effective but I only ever use one, and as for cleaning, it has never been an issue, even though I live in a very hard water area.

This is an excellent shower head. The best I’ve ever purchased. Lovely size head but not too big that it falls down under its own weight. The three functions are amazing. Showers feel like a real luxury.

Really good shower head for my Mira power shower, does not really give the impression of a proper rain shower but was not expecting that standard just from a shower head. Pleased with the performance and worth £50. Very easy to fit, no leaks or drips and push button makes jet change super easy.

Works well and seems to be of good quality

Excellent shower head with three distinct settings that you switch between with literally a push-button switch. 'RainAir' is an aeriated rainwater effect which is perfect for a drenching shower, 'rain' uses smaller more focused outlets on the head and feels faster flowing but lighter feeling and 'massage' uses the three central rotating jets that rifle the water out in a pulsating pattern. With the ease of switching between them, you'll probably use all three modes throughout your shower.The end result however, is highly dependent on your water pressure. If you have a gravity fed or non-pumped shower, this will not perform at its best. It does require a reasonable amount of pressure, particularly for the massage function.

This is an excellent product and we love it, but, beware!! It is only as good as the shower hose to which it is attached. Our Raindance Select came as part of a wider Hansgrohe system, comprising a brilliant overhead rain shower, controllers and the excellent iBoxes, and the handshower on a rail with a Hansgrohe hose.Sadly, on first use, this handshower wasn't great. We'd previously tried the head on another bathroom shower system (an Aqualisa) and it worked really well. Why then, was it not great on our very expensive new system? It appeared, after research, that the issue is all about the bore diameter of the shower hose. Hansgrohe supply 8mm bore hoses, which really restrict the flow of water significantly. A quick online search found a Mira 11mm bore hose, which we fitted as a replacement, and now our amazing Hansgrohe Raindance Select E handshower is working to the incredible best of its potential! As such, beware the hose - if you get that right this is an absolutely stormingly good product and is very highly recommended!

I purchased this high priced shower head thinking i would feel the benefit when compared to lower priced units. When compared to a Mira shower head at approx £39 this Hansgrohe does not perform well at all. The unit is however of good quality and does look good. Its just that the performance is terrible, has low pressure and simply does not compare to Mira which is at a far lower price. Not recommended!
