Movario Five Hand Shower - 5 Sprays

I originally purchased the Vida Alegría H5+ 2.5GPM Handheld Shower Head with Steel Hose, Holder, 5 Sprays (Chrome) for $53 from Amazon, based on the great customer reviews. I was looking for a handheld that has a nice spray for showering, a rain type spray for washing the dogs and a hard massage. First, I had to remove the restrictor, which I did with my Dremel by coring it out. It worked okay, but the massage wasn't hard enough for my taste.So, I ordered the Movario, which my local shower store told me was the Rolls Royce of shower heads. However, my local store couldn't order it for me, because he said it's illegal to sell in California. So, I ordered it from Amazon, where they shipped it to me in California. I used it first with restrictors and it was good, but the massage wasn't hard enough. Then, I removed the harder core restrictor of the two in it. It was easy to pop out with tweezers. No Dremel needed. I reinserted the white, lighter restrictor. It is perfect! The massage is exactly the right amount of hard. The rain is perfect for the dog and the shower spray is lovely and I'm also enjoying merging some rain into the spray, which is a nice feeling.This is the Rolls Royce of shower heads. If you want a powerful massage, this is the shower head for you. Our water pressure isn't fabulous... it's sort of middle of the road, but with this showerhead, it was great. Both my husband and I strongly prefer this one to the Vida Alegria we initially purchased. We will pass that one off to the college kid, who will love it and we will keep the Rolls Royce!You definitely get what you pay for with the Movario. If you live in California, hurry up and order it before Amazon figures out they aren't supposed to ship it to us!

I bought this to replace an expensive Delta handheld shower head that was only 1.75 years old. One of the three buttons on it that control the spray pattern became stuck down, impairing my most favorite spray pattern. This Grohe model, though not inexpensive, is far superior to the Delta I had to replace, and is well worth the cost.The process of replacement couldn’t be easier. Unscrew the old one, screw in the new one. That ‘s it. No tools needed. I immediately appreciated the increased water pressure this Grohe provides — 150% greater pressure than the previous shower head. I’m so pleased with this, there is no thought to removing any flow restrictors. It’s heavenly the way it is! While this Grohe does have fewer spray patterns than the Delta *purports* to have, these are all much simpler to access by simply turning the dial on the spray head, as opposed to fiddling with buttons in various permutations. The spray patterns on this Grohe model are more than sufficient to meet my requirements. I love everything about this shower head. It exceeds my expectations. To say I highly recommend it is an understatement.

This is exactly what I wanted. The straight handles would not let me adjust the handle enough to have the water land where I wanted it to land.

When I first got this it was a bit lower in pressure than the 18 year old Waterpik that it replaced. I went ahead and carefully removed the pressure regulator and now it sprays really nice. It is pressed in so I found that it can be removed with a couple of angled dental picks without damaging it. It is easy to reinstall if you ever want to but If you're not too worried about the water bill, then you will never want to do that. The qualty is excellent on this part. I've found that I never use the head swivel feature on this as the angle that it already has is perfect. I probably would have been just as happy with one of the fixed head models. Great product though!

This Grohe handheld is a snap to install, and looks good. I replaced an old Grohe showerhead and hose in only a couple of minutes. This head is larger than some, with the result that one gets a very good spray. Does exactly what I had hoped.
