7 Best Shower Head Units

If you want a high pressure shower head, you’ll love this Speakman product. It’s built to deliver a steady, high pressure stream of water for a beautiful massage for your skin and muscles.

The 5-built in jets each have 10 streams, and you’ll love the shower feel as the 50 water streams hit your body. You can choose from three settings: Intense, Massage, and Combination. The massage stream is nice and gentle, but the intense stream is perfect for those who want to feel truly clean! It’s easy to switch between the settings thanks to the knob built into the side of the shower head.

The polished chrome finish looks beautiful, and the material is the same grade as those used for hotel shower heads. Not happy with the water output? Remove the flow restrictor, and you’ll increase the water output for a VERY powerful shower. Want to save water? Replace the flow restrictor to keep the water flow between 2.0 and 2.5 GPM.

At $33, this is one of the pricier shower heads on our list. However, if you want only the best high pressure shower head, you’ll find that none of the other shower heads around can deliver that pressurized water stream that gets into every crevice and leaves you sparkling clean.

Want the best of the handheld shower heads? Try this one: a handheld shower head PLUS a fixed head! You get the best of both worlds with this dual shower head! First off, installation of this shower head is a breeze. Anyone can follow the instructions and install the shower head combo in a few minutes. It’s easy to learn how to switch between the 3 water flow settings (Saturating, Bubble, and Massage), though the switch itself is located in a hard-to-reach place.

The shower head spits out 2.31 GPM, so you get good flow without excessive water consumption. The pressure is good when using either of the shower heads (especially good on the handheld), but it drops a bit when using the dual shower mode.

With a 5′ hose, this handheld is built for versatility. It fits nicely in your hand, feels solid, and has a beautiful brushed nickel finish that will make you feel like you’re in a 5-star hotel. All in all, a very good option to consider.

The $55 price tag on this shower head officially makes it the priciest on our list, but you receive good value for the cost. The shower head is durable and built to last, and you’ll find that it delivers on its promises. For a quality handheld and the option of a fixed shower head, it’s worth it.

This 6-inch wide rain shower head is built for your comfort! The flow controller reduces water output to 2.5 GPM, but that actually helps to reduce the pressure and give you that gentle, soothing flow of water that feels like you’re standing in a summer rain shower.

The appliance is easy to install, though you’ll have to install it without any instructional manual (thankfully, it’s a classic shower head with connections for standard U.S. plumbing). The metal swivel ball makes it a cinch to adjust the angle and direction of the flow.

Even if the water pressure in your area is low, you’ll still get consistently good pressure from the shower head. It’s a durable option that will last for years to come, thanks to the hotel-grade materials used to build it. With a beautiful chrome finish, it even looks like the rain showers you’d find in a luxury hotel.

$26 is a reasonable price to pay for a high-quality shower head! This isn’t the priciest shower head on the list, but it’s worth every penny if you want a rain shower head that delivers consistently and is built to last for years to come.

This shower-head is compatible with a number of adjustable shower-head extension arms manufactured by various brands, which is a plus if an extension is desirable in your home.

The Temperature Controlled Color Changing Shower-Head allows for easy installation by consumers, great water pressure with a variety of setting options, and the ability to see when water temperature changes quickly – whether intentional or as a result of other factors. 

This shower head features 5 different settings, but our favorite is a Water Saving Pause Mode that can be useful when leaving in a hair treatment for a period of time or shaving. How cool is that? It easily attaches to any standard overhead shower arm and comes with a limited 1 year warranty, assuring it will not stop working on you too quickly.

As an added bonus, reviewers report that the manufacturer is quick to respond to issues if the device stops functioning as expected and will promptly replace if needed.

This is currently listed as an “Amazon’s Choice” item, and for only $30 it is a cost effective addition to your daily shower routine – especially if you have children!

Let’s be clear: there are water-saving shower heads that are even better at reducing water use, but they can’t quite match the quality of this bad boy. This shower head spits out water at 2.0 GPM (compared to 1.5 or 1.6 of other low-flow heads). However, that’s 20% less water output than conventional heads, so it does help to reduce water waste.

The fact that the shower head is non-aerating means that less hot water is wasted, so less energy is used to heat the water for your shower. The 9 jets spray water directly at you, and you have multiple settings to adjust the water pressure. You don’t get a broad flow circumference, as the shower head is fairly small and the jets set close together. However, the flow of the head will remain consistent regardless of water pressure, thanks to the flow compensator.

The showerhead is built with high quality thermoplastic and a beautiful chrome finish. The extra-long hose makes this one of the most versatile shower heads on our list, and you’ll find that it’s very flexible and easy to move. Changing the setting on the shower head is as simple as twisting the face.

At $17, this is the cheapest shower head on our list. It’s not the most luxurious product, but very good at what it does: saving water and energy while giving you a great shower.

If you want cleaner water, you’d do well to try this one. Be warned: there is a lot of marketing hype that claims eliminating chlorine, sediment, organic compounds, and fluoride will help to improve your skin and hair. It MAY help some people, but it’s not a “magic remedy”.

This shower head is designed to filter up to 99% of chlorine, and it can help to eliminate bad odors from your water. It’s a good option for people who live in areas with a less-than-pristine water supply, as the shower head will eliminate a lot of what makes the water feel “dirty”.

It’s designed to filter up to 10,000 gallons, which means it will last for a year or so–depending on shower usage. The “NSF-Certified” label on this product proves that it conforms to public health and safety standards. With a 5-year warranty, you can be sure it is a shower head that will last for years to come (though you may need to replace the filters).

The shower head claims to come with 5 settings, but it’s tricky to adjust (by twisting the knob around the shower face). The filtration process also reduces water flow, so you don’t get that high pressure stream you want. Still, if you want cleaner water, it’s a good option to consider.

For $30, this is a decent addition to your home. Use it in tandem with a whole-home water filtration system, and you will have cleaner, fresher water for your showers.
