Is it expensive I’d say so. Is it extravagant Probably. Is it worth it Maybe. Will it make or break your bathroom Doubt it. But is it cool Yeah - it’s pretty darn cool. I paired this with the DTV control system in our newly renovated bathroom. Placing this (giant) shower head smack dab in the middle of a 66x66 steam room. The gentle rain is NOT ideal for washing your hair or getting soap, etc. off your body. But it IS ideal for just taking a moment to breath, relax, and ponder about how you spent 75k on a bathroom reno and all you got was this lousy shower head (just kidding, about the lousy part). The rain drops are truly relaxing and the center area devoid of drops makes staying in the middle a treat. No worrying about drowning or gasping for breaths during the intermittent drops. The deluge function is nice as well. The initial drop tends to be a bit cooler since it usually sits for a moment (but isn’t cold) and is quite refreshing. I find it lasts 7-9 seconds on average. For us the distance to the control panel is a bit of a reach, so I have to say ensure 100 you can stay in the rain when you’re pressing the valve button (or digital button). It’s more enjoyable if you can have the full 8 seconds instead of missing the first 1-2. Installation wasn’t too difficult beyond having to drop the ceiling 4 inches and frame a 20x20 box for the shower heads recessed base. Post tile install - the shower head snaps in and overall isn’t too difficult to open for cleaning of the filter. (Though that in itself is just another thing to add to the ever growing chore list.) Yeah so all in all, for 2k (ish) - I’d buy again. If I was paying retail (4k), I may have been disappointed, especially if I planned on using this as my main shower head. My vote buy it.

This is not a showerhead. It will not rinse shampoo out of your hair. It is an amazing relaxing experience where you feel like raindrops are hitting you. I love it - it is a very light sprinkle and feels just relaxing.

In renovating our home in California, we thought we had picked a perfect rain shower only to find out it was a tremendously expensive mistake! This shower is not what we expected or wanted and is so finicky to use. We tried to like it but to no avail. We even asked our house guest what they thought and all of them politely said they hated it. The deluge is what we want, not the light trickle that doesn’t even wash the soap off our bodies or shampoo out of our hair…but the deluge ink lasts a few seconds and then you have to wait as shampoo gets into your eyes! Then everyone thinks it’s broken because it takes 5 minutes to turn off!!! Would not recommend! Save your thousands $$$!!!

This cannot be used as a primary shower. The raindrops are barely there and the "deluge" only lasts for 8 seconds. It's a waste of money. If I could give this product negative stars I would!
