5 stars.... for the price.
December 13, 2016
Plastic that has broken 3 times on me (twice was at the connection point for the larger shower head so be careful when maneuvering that).I still give it 5 stars though for two reasons:1. When its not broken it gives for a really nice shower with good pressure and nice settings. You can also use both heads at the same time without losing much pressure. It is overall the best shower head(s) Ive ever owned in that respect.2. Customer service. All 3 times in the almost 2 years Ive had it they replaced the broken parts for me with no questions asked. I did send pictures with my claim and they asked to confirm my address and a few days later from it breaking (the 3rd time did take about a week receive, the other 2 it was literally about a day or two) I had new parts in hand. I dont even have the same shower heads I started with and they made minor changes for the better since the first.For $30ish I recommend it. If you break it they will replace it. If you want something better than this you will need to spend more money.

June 30, 2016
Oh my goodness! I can NOT rave about this shower head enough! GET IT! You won't be sorry! My husband and I searched for similar shower heads and all of them were over $100.00. He found this one and we decided to give it a try! We can take a shower together and he has one shower head on him and I have one on me. No more arguing about the water. :) Taking a shower together is much more fun now!There are SEVERAL settings and you will definitely find one you like. Maybe more.One thing to keep in mind though. Because you are using two shower heads that means you're also using double the water and your hot water tank will get cold a lot faster if you have both heads going and like long showers.However, If it is just you taking a shower and you like long showers... I would recommend turning off one of the heads. Then you aren't using as much hot water and you can continue to enjoy those long, luxurious showers. :)The instructions were super easy to understand and took less than 30 minutes to uninstall our old one and install this one.Get it! You will be so glad you did!
Well worth the price for an excellent spa like shower experience!
May 11, 2016
It's been quite a bit since I installed it in my bathroom. I now can give my honest opinion about it. First of all, the price goes below the real quality of this set. This is the first thing I like about it. I installed in less than five minutes, I thought I would not do it correctly but it was so easy to install that I was amazed with the results. Normally these kind of products don't last, or the material peels off after some time. I have to say, mine is intact, it looks as new as when I bought it, and this was many months ago now. It has three ways to use it. I have tried all of them: just a single shower, both, or the one on top. I use the one on top normally, because it's the highest one in position, but I also like using the other one, because it is the one that can have different kinds of ways of showering, like mist, rain... strong jet. Simply love it, it relaxes so much. But also I use both of them at the same time on many occasions, it gives a feeling of being under a waterfall, just close your eyes...I have had in the past other appliances but they did not last too long, or they got clogged somehow with calcaire. This one is as clean as the first time I used it. My husband was a bit reluctant to buy it since others were cheaper but I wanted something with quality and found it in this shower appliance. The string from the upper one goes a long way towards the bathtub, so if you have pets it is perfect for them. If you use both showers you can have different settings, enjoy them, in winter and in the summer. It is going to make you feel so refreshed and/or warm, depending on the season. I think it is time for me to add a charcoal tablet on each one but until now I don't see why I would need it. It has a great filter for calcaire waters.This setting is very rewarding after a tiring day at work or outside. Since I have it I seldom take baths because it makes me feel completely relaxed and transported.
Just right for 4th of July...best Bang for you Buck!
July 12, 2015
I chose this shower head and hand shower combo because our old one broke. This closely resembled our old one, but the main shower head on this one was bigger. I read a ton of the reviews and most were positive. The few low ratings sounded to me as a very small percentage and things that happen with highly manufactured products. There's going to be a few bad ones in there. You just hope you are that rare occassion. Luckily for me, we got one that most every buyer boasted - a great product for the price. Obviously, I was looking for a bargain, so I bought this one on sale. So, I know from the reviews that it's mostly a chromed plastic, but so was the last one. The last one lasted a couple years, so I'll be happy if this one does too (It only cost a little of $30, folks.) Don't go overtightening things and being crazy rough when switching settings. Anyway, the setup is quite easier. Trickier if you want to take out the water flow regulators, but still not rocket science. I made a hook from a safety pin and it pulled right out. The water pressure is awesome! Keep it in for a more water-concious, eco-friendly, water bill friendly setup. The pressure is still pretty decent. If you have both heads going at the same time, it may not be as grand, but still nice with the big rain water type shower head. With just the hand shower going on the jet stream setting...whoa! Nice! All in all, I and the other household members are quite please. Granted, it's day one. We'll see how durable it is.
Quality chromed plastic with some metal fittings, metal hose, good flow.
February 26, 2015
This unit is a little more expensive than some of the other offerings, but the quality is really great considering what I paid for it, and I'd definitely buy again. First things first: It's about 90% chromed plastic, but fairly sturdily built. It has an "ok" amount of heft to it, and definitely looks like an expensive, high-quality unit. The hose is metal and every bit as flexible as promised. The hose fittings and the fitting on the back of the main shower head are also metal, as is the ball joint on the main sower head, which lets you aim it where you need it. The rest of the fittings including on the handheld piece and the hub/connector, are plastic. Plastic threads, rubber gaskets. The kit thoughtfully included some teflon thread tape for attaching to the main pipe, so you don't need to buy that separately! Also important to note: the instructions seem to jump all over the place, so it's easy to miss, but they do mention that you should NOT use the thread tape on any of the other fittings, and that you should NOT use any tools to assemble it. That said, the threads on the hub for one of the hose fittings seemed malformed a bit for me, and I was unable to screw it on far enough to make a seal with my fingers, and had to resort to (carefully!) using a pair of pliersThere's a couple plastic flow restrictors in the shower head fittings. The one in the handheld bit was easy to fish out, but the one in the main showerhead was a little more challenging as it's sunk in deeper. Be careful not to damage the unit when fishing it out with a small-bladed screwdriver, wire, or awl. With the flow restrictors out, this unit actually puts out a lot more water than my old showerhead, which is a welcome change given the low water pressure in my house.
Suprised at how good it was for the price
December 14, 2014
Bought these as a stop gap in a home we plan to renovate the bathrooms in about 6 months as the ones in place were horrid and hadn't been used in nearly a year. Normally I use more expensive fittings in bathrooms just because they are used all day every day and this one surprised me - it's not at all heavy which I was worried about initially - it's super easy to connect (just work out if you need to buy an extension arm or you can reuse the old one (we had to buy one and this item fits and matches perfectly http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q04S1C/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1). We love the fact you can use one or both showerheads (very handy if you have two people of different heights using it). Best of all the HOSE SITS FLAT against the shower wall unlike the Delta with the clip off handheld and one other we tried where the hose was so stiff it curled out into the shower and if you brushed against it the handheld would fall out and land on your foot (seriously not funny when you're half asleep!)Had ours in use for a few months now and no problems at all - I think I'll reuse these once we remodel

A modern Rain Shower touch for a remodel project
May 21, 2016
We purchased this shower head for use as a "rain" type shower as we updated our bathroom. We purchased separately a long arm that screwed into the wall water supply fitting, then added this unit. The colors matched and the desired rain effect was produced.The quality of construction and finish was very good, and helped modernize the shower.We're pleased with it!
... used with matching 15" shower arm to replace a useless expensive Delta shower head
December 5, 2015
This showerhead was used with matching 15" shower arm to replace a useless expensive Delta shower head. I used a flow restricter taken from my Delta showerhead because I live in the desert and am on a well. I installed it and I love it. My Delta faucet was a mixture of metal and plastic or rubber that clogged and deteriorated. I love the rainfall produced by this oversized shower. Restricting the water flow did not affect the use of this showerhead at all. I did buy the 15" shower arm to make room in my shower to allow for the water to fall directly overhead. It is amazing. I watched a you tube video and the installation was easy and flawless. The finish was perfect with the rest of the Venetian Bronze fixtures in my bath... The shower is better than ever. This was such a wonderful answer to my shower head frustrations.
I made a double shower head Frankenstein beast shower
April 9, 2014
I'm pretty pleased with myself. So combining the four products linked below I spent just over $100 and have a double shower head with one large rain-head and one small rain-head and a 3-way diverter allowing each head to be used independently (if one person is showering, switch from 8" rain head to little rain head for high pressure for getting shampoo out of hair) or simultaneously (if two people showering together). It works quite brilliantly. Please note, I am in apartment building with high water pressure. Including product in this review, here are the four parts to what I put together, which are all Amazon prime so I think okay to link:Large Rain Shower Head: Kingston Brass K136A1 Shower Head: http://amzn.to/1gMG6xlSmall Rain Shower Head - Waterpik JP-140 : http://amzn.to/1gMFTKHHigh flow arm coming off wall - Danze D481150 9-Inch Adjustable Shower Arm with High Flow: http://amzn.to/1gMG9Jy3-way diverter attached to Arm - Delta Faucet U4920-PK 3-Way Shower Arm Diverter: http://amzn.to/1gMGegc
Amazing upgrade
March 17, 2014
My wife and I needed a new shower head because ours was starting to leak. She mentioned getting one of those nice big rain heads. I immediately came to amazon and saw this one and figured we would give it a shot.Pros: Extremely easy to install. I have no "plumbing" experience and still had it installed in a matter of minutes. The amount of water that comes out of this thing is AMAZING! There is no hissing or whining noise like I have heard about with other shower heads. The price point is significantly less that other comparable shower heads.Cons: The only con I can come up with is not really a con, just something I noticed. Due to the amount of water that comes out of this shower head "again not a bad thing at all" I will more than likely be upgrading my hot water heater. It runs out of hot water in about 15 minutes. It is an amazing refreshing 15 minutes though :)I highly recommend this and will be buying another one myself as soon as I finish my other bathroom at the house.
Tree huggers beware
January 28, 2014
I just received this yesterday and installed it today right before taking my shower. Up front i have to admit, i love taking a shower with very hot water until my wife tells me to get out of the shower. I love this thing, I didn't know you could still buy shower heads that allowed you to control how much water is coming out. This one is not for tree huggers, if you want a great shower, lots of water, this is the one for you. Took about 2 minutes to change out the old one, that that one is going into the trash where it belongs. Thank you Kingston, for making a shower head that works.
Perfect, perfect, perfect!
June 6, 2013
I have researched this type of shower head for a while. Looking for a more relaxing/drenching style shower rather than a high pressure driving flow, this looked like a great value (and it is).My recommendations:Buy this shower head.Buy an extension arm (such as the Danze D481116 13-Inch S-Shape Shower Arm, Chrome) - this will elevate the shower head to an overhead position)Buy a diverter valve (such as Delta Faucet U4922-PK Universal Showering Components Shower Arm Diverter for Handshower, Chrome) - so you can add a handshower wandBuy your favorite handshower wand (I already own the KOHLER K-17493-CP Flipside 01 Handshower, Polished Chrome)Buy the LDR 520 2433W 2-In-1 Permanent or Suction Showerhead Wall Mount - so you can mount the handshower wand,The combo makes for a relaxing shower experience for much less than the sets sold as a package but gives you flexibility as well.

After seeing the great reviews for this product
February 5, 2017
A few years ago, I had a different hand held shower fixture that I'd purchased at the local hardware store for around $60. The hose had very little flexibility, the seals seemed to be leaky, despite having followed all the specific installation instructions. In addition, the weight and feel of the wand seemed cheap. After seeing the great reviews for this product, I finally decided to replace my old handheld with the HotelSpa. Not only was it less expensive than my previous unit, but it was of substantially greater quality. Installation was a snap -- no tools required! You simply hand-tighten everything, which is great since I have old plumbing in my house and worry about breaking a fixture whenever I apply any torque with a wrench. As far as quality goes, the handheld portion has an especially nice weight and feel. As far as various settings, there are many options, but I tend to leave the shower head on a single setting. I would definitely recommend this product. Very pleased.
Good product for the price
October 16, 2016
Given the price of the fixture, this has been a great product for us. We have attached it to the HotelSpa water filter and we experienced no leaks. We did not need to use any of the plumbers tape to create a secure fit. We've had this in our shower for over a month now and we really enjoy all the settings. I've never experienced a mist on a shower head so that is very nice especially for a brief, low water use, cool down in the summer. The two shower heads also make it convenient to have a showerpool (get it...like carpool!) if you're into that. If you're looking for a true rainfall feel, this is probably not going to cut it, but you'll need to spend more money also. Overall a satisfactory product for the price, especially if you're just renting and want something more than the dingy shower heads most apartments come with!
Easy installation, didn't affect water pressure
July 13, 2015
The installation was fairly simple. I don't think it affected the water pressure. I think the rain/massage setting is the most gentle. The massage feels like it's beating me up and the rain feels like needles. To be fair, I hate high pressure in the water. The weaker the better, imo. But if you're like my bf or every other person I know, you'll enjoy the massage one or rain.I think it's good for couples who like to shower together because there's no need to take turns under the water. One can get the handheld the other can stand under the other one.The cord is long enough for a regular apartment shower. If I ever dared bath my cat at home and not at the groomers it would work (but that won't happen).I can even fit my shower caddy, granted it does affect how much the shower head (not the handheld) can rotate but that doesn't matter to me. Note that my shower caddy is tightened at the top with a screw so it doesn't slip down (http://smile.amazon.com/simplehuman-Adjustable-Stainless-Anodized-Aluminum/dp/B004NRP2SG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436845092&sr=8-1&keywords=simple+human+shower+caddy&pebp=1436845110587&perid=1ECHH11Q35K37YM8S00K). I'm not sure if other shower caddies that slip down would eventually knock off the shower head or bump it enough to make it leak.Note that caddy was only about $40 at bed bath and beyond as opposed to $65 here.Overall I like it. The price is good. And it's simple to install. The only thing I don't like is that because I'm short (5'2") it's hard to see where the handheld hook is because it's all so high up. I wish it stuck out more because the other shower head is so big it blocks it from view.
Lots of plastic.
June 4, 2015
Lots of plastic. This entire thing is made of chromed plastic, with virtually no metal at all save the hose.That being said, it does work well, and is a nice size. I purchased a home with a massive walk-in shower and needed something to fill the space with water. I set the larger on the streaming standard shower settings and the smaller on the 'mist' setting and it worked perfect.With two shower heads it does use a lot of water, even without 'modifying it' by taking out the governor. But it worked very well for my uses.I wish it came in a brushed copper or black.
Good item at decent price
March 7, 2015
This shower works well and provides a great distribution of water to a large surface area. Can't really tell which feature saves water because they all seem to put out a decent volume. Misting is quite pleasant but water cools more quickly because of the small droplet size. I tried both shower heads individually and together, testing with the water flow constrictor caps and removed, and ultimately settled on a compromise: I expanded the holes in the plastic caps to maybe double their diameter using a metal pick to allow some higher volume of water without removing the caps entirely. At this setting the force is very strong when coming out of one shower head, and then with both shower heads running at once there is lots of coverage. As a result of the modification there is some pressure reduction when both are running, but it's not too terribly disappointing. I thought the caps left in kept the water flow rate a little lower than desired, while the caps out caused some pressure loss, but admittedly I didn't try each setting for a long period of time before boring out the restrictor caps.The material quality is very good and the price is reasonable. Recommend the item overall.
HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 30-setting 3-way...
March 1, 2015
I really like this combo shower head. Although it is all plastic it looks great and was easy to install and there was no leaks (I bought some Teflon tape and used it on every connection). Something to note is that originally my shower arm had a 6" shower arm. Before I installed this combo shower head I changed the shower arm to an 8" - very glad I did. It offers more space from the wall for the shower head(s). Both shower heads have good pressure ( I removed the regulators) when used separately. I was able to use both heads at the same time but the pressure wasn't that great from either one - that could just be because we are on a well. The only thing I don't like about the main shower head is that there is no setting that lets you have a full water spray from all the spray holes. The setting that comes closest is one that all the spray holes (not the center circle holes) are used and the center holes are more of a misting varied spray not constant like the surrounding holes. I don't change settings very often I just want a full spray of water - this doesn't quite deliver. If you change settings a lot you may like the main shower head more. I found a Kohler one setting shower head on Amazon that looks similar that I am going to replace the main shower head with. I think this will give me the full spray I'm looking for.

It is just a bit noisy but other than that it's great, love the output of water and it's well made.
Good product for the price
July 14, 2015
Good product for the price. Unit doesn't add additional pressure but with normal water flow, the spray is powerful. Tilting head allows for directional adjustments including spraying off the wall (if necessary). 8 inches is perfect for full body rain head. Light construction although adequate. Time will tell how well it holds up and how it cleans. A little "sheen" to it versus more of the oil rubbed look.
I really like this shower head
May 14, 2015
I really like this shower head, but one thing I am finding is that the water holes have been slowly chipping the bronze color and are rusting a bit which is disappointing. I will continue to use as I said I like it but disappointing.
Inexpensive and Good Looking Shower Head
December 15, 2014
Our baby is just old enough to enjoy sprayed water in the bathtub, and she loves this rain showerhead. There is never a great deal of pressure, but there is a lot of overall flow. For the price, you can't go wrong.
This unit took its sweet time in being shipped to me
November 9, 2014
This showerhead performs its function for which it was designed for well enough. It is very simply constructed. Constructed so simply (Made in USA) in that if you get foreign matter coming up through your water line into this shower head, you will need to throw the showerhead away as there is no way to open it to clean out the foreign matter that will clog the spray openings from the inside. This is a sealed unit. I had this problem with my old rain showerhead. My diverter valve's gasket/seal destructed, sending all its broken up pieces into my old showerhead clogging the spray nozzles all up. Listing to my wife bitch about it, I immediately found and ordered this replacement unit. This unit took its sweet time in being shipped to me. In the meantime, I closely examined my clogged unit that was the typical 'made in China'. I found that I was able to take it apart, clean out the debris, and put it back together with it just working fine again. So keep this in mind with this Kingston K136A5 unit, in that it cannot be taken apart and cleaned out.
Works just as I'd hoped.
October 25, 2013
I have a small, stall-type shower in which the shower head is directly over me as I stand in there. I was looking for a showerhead that would continuously pour water, and not just "gently rain" down on you. I got what I wanted with this unit.The unit is very (very) shallow which is good for me (I'm 6'3"), and there really isn't much to it at all. The unit installs very easily. I have about 3.5" of water pipe coming from my ceiling to which this connected to with only the help of a crescent wrench.I ordered the chrome finish (the preferred satin nickel finish was on back order for a while at the time), and the back (or top?) of the showerhead is really thin and cheap-looking/feeling, but I guess I won't ever see that part because it's directly over my head. It sounds very cheap and hollow when you tap on it, but it doesn't seem to lack in functionality at all. I do not have any low water-flow issues with this unit, even with the little rubber restricter in place.Water rains down in a consistent and even deluge, and as far as I can tell, from every water channel. There are no leaks or any other issues thus far, after about 3 weeks of continuous use.All in all, it does what I was hoping it would do, but I guess I would have prefered it to be a bit more substantial. I don't have any worries about it holding up or anything at this point, so I can live with that.

Great company, but product didn't perform as expected
March 9, 2017
I ordered this product and the company was great. Quick delivery, easy instructions, and it was a very easy install.I installed this in an upstairs bathroom and thought there would be enough water pressure for, but it turns out there was not enough pressure to operate both heads at the same time. I also did not like the spray settings on the main head, as I could literally put my hand in the middle of the spray pattern without my hand getting wet. I've returned this product, but would order from this company again.
worked well for few months
June 6, 2016
Worked well for few months and after that the water started leaking from the bottom of the hand shower. Apart from this, the item works well. I still use this as the shower head works well. The various setting available on the shower heads makes shower a good experience. I like the power rain setting on the shower head and the mist setting on the handheld shower. You also have an option to use either of the two heads by just turning the knobs (located towards the end of both shower head) in correct direction.I would have given the item 5 star had the following items were addressed/met:1. no water leak from the bottom of the shower heads2. better quality knobs for turning on/off the individual shower heads.
Here's the deal with this bad boy. I love it
June 1, 2016
Here's the deal with this bad boy. I love it. It's great and there are so many settings that it makes taking a shower fun. Do you want it misty? Hard like rain? Or something in between. It's all there. Now, why did I only give it a 3 star? Well, the main shower head broke off. Now granted, this is only a $30'ish dollar product, so to assume it's made of the best quality would be pushing it. However, I wasn't expecting it to break off after having it for less than a year. Anywho, I did end up buying the same one again to replace the broken one because I love it so much and I'm hoping this won't happen a second time. We shall see. If you're looking for something that looks nice and is a great price with lots of adjustment features, this is your answer. Mind you, it does not feel substantial by any means. It's pretty much all made of plastic, but it works great and who cares in the end. Would make for a great shower head in a guest bath or somewhere it's not being used heavy-handedly. Also, it's super easy to install. You don't need to be a genius to get this one right.
Worked great at first....then old age set in.
February 3, 2016
It's very "meh". Like other reviews have said, it's probably about 95% plastic, the hose and the actual connections are metal, everything else if just flimsy.The shower heads are adjustable, but it's not exactly easy to do it, and the knob to switch between the heads is difficult to actuate if you're not in the shower.I haven't had the hose bust, and I haven't encountered the gamut of problems that other reviewers have had. The showers have multiple flow types, but the one pertinent to this review is the three nozzle "pulsating massage".There is apparently a little disc in there that uses the pressure of the water to spin, while having holes positioned so only two streams function at any given time (creating the "pulse"). I use that setting to rinse myself, and the shower off before stepping out, but the handheld showerhead is no longer working properly in that setting. It's like the disc is "catching" on something inside the showerhead, so the setting with the most focused water pressure is now severely flow restricted. In fact,the setting is so gentle, I can comfortably spray my face.Nine months isn't exactly long-lived...
Just Okay, I was dissappointed.
January 20, 2016
There is a lot of weight placed at the end of the plumbing leading to the shower head. The hand sprayer leaks where it attaches at the bottom. The selector knob is well defined and easy to switch, unfortunately it never completely switches from the handheld sprayer to the main head, causing even more drips. It works right now, and seems to be something that would last if we needed it to, but I am looking to replace it with something that leaks less and is more decisive.
Hard for short people & box had no instructions
July 12, 2015
This is very hard to reach if you're short and I would not recommend it for kids old enough to shower alone. I am unable to put the hand sprayer back up on the hook -- my husband has to do it. It's also very hard to reach the controls on the main shower head and the one to switch between sprayer and main head. I'm five foot one. I realize some of this may be related to how high your shower plumbing is but my guess is that this would be hard for most shorter people. Beyond this, the box came without instructions of any kind. Thankfully it's all pretty self explanatory but it would have made us feel better to know we were doing the install correctly. Three stars for the lack of instructions and the hook for the hand sprayer being set so far back behind the main head that it's hard to reach along with controls being set high.

Great for rainfall only. No pressure in any other direction
Need plenty water pressure!
August 9, 2017
I'm pleased with this shower head, but I think we don't have enough pressure for it to work correctly. When placed at an angle, most of the water comes out of the bottom 1/2 of the head. The top four or five openings have a trickle of water coming out of them. If this shower head was 1-2 inches less in diameter, I think it would be better.
It is great quality and made very nicely
August 14, 2016
It is great quality and made very nicely. Kingston seems to make a nice solid unit. The issue I had with this shower head was with the water pressure throughput. It was very very slow with not much pressure at all. Also, if you place the shower head at around a 45 degree angle in the shower (meaning it is not directly overhead), the shower head restricts the waterflow where the bottom has water coming out (low pressure) and no water comes out of the top 1/3rd area. If you truly want a rain drop like experience and you can mount this horizontally overhead, then it would be ideal.

I wish I could like this more. We have hard water, and the lack of silicone nozzles causes leftover shower water to pool in the head. As a result, the nozzles clog, and the finish deteriorates. (The silicone nozzles allow the water to drip out - that's how Delta, et al., get to make the claim "clean the showerhead by rubbing it.")I tried to disassemble the head to clean out the mineral deposits, but ... no luck. It's completely sealed. If your water isn't hard, maybe you'll have better luck. At least it wasn't expensive.

Looks great and the stream of water makes for a soft yet yet heavy rain-like flow. Make sure your water pressure is enough to support the amount of force you prefer. This shower head has many outlet holes which may not give you a strong forceful stream. If I were getting another similar type of shower head I would go a bit smaller diameter. Maybe closer to 6". Otherwise this size provides good coverage.

Beautiful but I thought the water was going to spray out. Uh no. It hasmore of a waterfall effect. If you're not installing this overhead then opt for something else. I'm keeping it because I dread returning purchases 😕

Made of plastic - and the manufacturing quality wasn't very good on the one we received
June 8, 2017
Seemed OK in the pictures, but for us the quality wasn't good enough when we opened the package. The plastic molding that they use in manufacturing left big ridge lines along the side of the shower head (it's all made of plastic). We sent it back.
Waste of Money
February 19, 2017
Due to recent health issues, I needed a shower head with a handheld that I could control the water flow. This seemed like a good option and it turned out to not do anything I needed it to do.The main shower head works fine, hence not giving the hotel spa shower head a one-star. The issue is when I set it to come out of both shower heads, it's just a trickle. Even when I set it to come out of just the handheld, barely any water comes out.We have taken this apart and reinstalled it multiple times, exactly as instructed. Still, we get the same results. The handheld is worthless. So I ended up with a showerhead the did exactly what my previous showerhead.
I would avoid.

My wife and I have purchased a few of these. Two of them are already broken within the first couple months. On one of them the bigger head popped right off (not able to put it back on, the piece snapped off). The other one the knob to change the shower heads will not move and it's stuck on using only one of them. The third one we have in a box somewhere, we're trying to just give it away (bought it for my mother but she never used it).

It looks great and it works fine but with time the knob to switch from the shower handle to the other shower head starts getting very hard to turn. It is so hard that it is now stuck and I cannot switch from one shower to the other. It is badly designed in functionality and now I can only use one shower head which makes it silly to buy a two-shower head if you cannot use it.
It was fine for about 6 months...
September 24, 2016
I purchased this shower head a year ago in August. It worked fine for the first six months until the larger/fixed shower head broke off at the thread. I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement for that head pretty quickly. I thought it might have been from over tightening so I was careful to not do that when i reinstalled it. It's only been about 7 months since the replacement and it broke off last night at the same spot. In addition to that, the chrome finish on the entire shower head has been chipping and flaking off pretty much since we got it and the water preasure has been slowly declining for the last 4 months. The hose, though it hasn't broken, began to rust after about 6 months of use. When I was inspecting the wand this morning to see if it still worked, I noticed that the theading that attaches it to the main line was also cracked. I will not be asking for a replacement, and I will not be repurchasing. I'm just done.
One is now broken as they are made of pretty cheap plastic
September 23, 2015
I bought two of these when we purchased this house in March. One is now broken as they are made of pretty cheap plastic. One is still working fine and I did like it until it broke. The main shower head broke of when you tried to pull it down and it does not take much for it to break if you are careful it may last other than that they work great. I am going to order one that is not plastic not that much more expensive and should hold up better. If you have no children may not be a problem my ten year old daughter tried to get it down as in the shower it did spray a little to high had to stand in the back of the shower. I do not think she really pulled that hard.

Very light! Not sure how long it will hold up! Not s premium product but ok for the money!
Disappointed

Very disappointed. The shower head is beautiful and well finished, but it got very rusted after 4 months of use. Even the paint felt off the surface.
Expect cold showers
February 4, 2016
This beautiful shower head offers a comfortable and luxurious shower experience, meeting expectations for what a "rain shower" should feel like. However, it uses A LOT of water. Way more than any other similar shower head we have ever had. We have an extra large water heater, and we still had to wait to let the tank warm up again between users simply because two people couldn't get through showers without water getting cold. It also rusts easily (even with regular cleaning) and isn't for folks with hard water, because minerals build up easily along the pinholes. We eventually switched to an Oxygenics rain-style shower head, and all four people in this house can take showers in the morning without the water getting cold, all while still getting the luxurious experience of a rain shower. We definitely wouldn't buy this again. It just doesn't make good environmental or economic sense.
NO FLOW RESTRICTION SO USES A LOT OF WATER
May 11, 2015
The one good thing about this shower head is that it is solid metal and chrome finish throughout so it looks good. However, it has no built in water flow restriction. If this is something you have never thought of before it is probably because all other shower heads you have used have some sort of restriction you do not know about. As a result, this shower head allows a flow somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 gallons a minute. This is way too much for a shower head with good water pressure behind it. have you tried looking for a flow restrictor mechanism for a shower head? I can't find one in any store, now have to go through the trouble of finding one on-line, ordering, installing, or maybe return this head...Also, without the flow restriction, there is no extra pressure built into the head, so more like a gentle rain, no matter how much water is flowing through it, The head I am replacing had calcifications at every hole and the water came out of it like a piercing razor. lol. Now if only this one would calcify quickly!
Don't get if you have hard water.
November 24, 2014
I would not recommend this shower head unless you have soft water. We have hard water & the holes get clogged quickly & the water shoots out at weird angles, like right in the face as you pull back the curtain to get in the shower. Other than that it works ok. Just not for us.
Has a waterfall rather than a rainfall effect.
May 7, 2014
The shower head was the right color, but seemed tin-ish, and it worked great if you don't mind using up a lot of water in a short amount of time. You also needed to have an extension arm in order to raise the shower head enough for a rainfall effect rather than a waterfall gushing out on you. If there was a water economy feature I might have kept it.

Very disappointed in the low quality
May 22, 2016
Purchased in April 2015; broke in may 2016 (today). This shower head was in action on a daily basis. Once in a while I rotated the non-detachable piece a bit right or left within the limits of its ball-point joint. Today the upper part of the ball-point joint broke off entirely rendering the shower head unusable. Final verdict: too much plastic, no longevity and money flushed down the drain. Very disappointed in the low quality.

August 17, 2015
I bought this product and it was working great for a couple of weeks until the neck of the big shower head was broken. Basically the neck was not sturdy enough to endure the manipulation of the shower head. Very disappointed and I have contacted the manufacturer for a replacemnt or a refund.
Purchased based on positive review, big disappointment
June 13, 2015
Bought this item due to the amount of positive reviews here on Amazon, but it was a big disappointment.Installed everything according to the instruction, hand tightened everything and did not need to use plumber's tape because nothing leaked. Then on first use (right after I finished installing), the tube that connects to the showerhead handle burst and water started coming out from the tube. I used maybe for 5 mins before that happened. See picture.This is going back on Monday.

Garbage
March 1, 2015
If I could give this zero stars, I would. It is a piece of garbage. I've installed this type of shower head in the past with no trouble and we couldn't get this one to stop leaking. Will attempt to return

Rusted in less than 1 year of use
July 29, 2015
You get what you pay for. It rusted in less than 1 year of use. So disappointed because water flow was great and looks nice. The price was unheard of...but that's where they got me. Now I'm shopping for another one.
Oil rubbed bronze shower head
June 26, 2014
This product is only a few months old and it is already rusting. I would not recommend anyone for this product. Normally we could just contact the seller and exchange or return the item, but in this case that is not even an option. So we are very disappointed.
Since I cannot return this I am writing this
June 3, 2014
I bought this shower head for a family Christmas present. It installs easily and flows nicely. HOWEVER it just completely fell apart! The tiny and I do mean minuscule spot weld that attaches the head to the shaft is so flimsy that I am surprised it lasted this long upon inspection. This product is inexpensive for a reason - terrible manufacturing quality! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Kingston - you should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing such terrible manufacturing standards. NEVER AGAIN!
