Side by Side Comparison of: Kes vs DELTA FAUCET

Has enough water throughput to make for a very pleasant addition to one's shower experience. Great for bathing pets as well. I hope these remain available for decades. Nice pattern. Compact. Elegant. Bought a little better attachment base as suggested by another reviewer. Grandson enjoys having a nice shower on his level as well. Really couldn't imagine a better device of this type. Seems to be made to last. Will be buying others.

This is a good value to get shower head, hose, and bracket all for one price. Everything is plastic but that's expected, it looks more expensive, works really well, very happy. Initially I had selected a different item which was the handheld shower only, by the time you buy the hose and holder bracket it ends up being almost double the price. This company makes different models/styles in different finishes, offered in an all-in-one package, would definitely recommend.

Excellent materials and finish. I've paired it with the KES F203-2 stainless sidebar, which matches in both appearance and quality. I have a minor comment about the wand holder in this faucet. It's a quality plastic piece with a matching finish. It's an assembly, with a notch on the top for a tang on the inner piece to snap onto. If you mount thus wand holder high, you neither see this notch, nor would water get in. But if you are mounting this lower on the wall (if for instance you kept your shower head and were adding this as a secondary hand sprayer, conveniently mounted say waist high) you'll both see this notch and water will get in. Consider using instead the solid brass version of the wand holder, sold separately on Amazon. Or get the slide bar as I did, it can double as a bar to grasp.

An excellent shower head...basic in that there is only a comfortable rain-shower type spray, but on a wand small enough that it's easy to manipulate. Very attractive and takes up little room in my small shower. The cord is long and flexible so it never "fights" me when showering, but hangs relaxed at all times. I also purchased KES BRASS Shower Flow Control Valve Water Pressure Controller which I mounted between the water pipe from the wall and the shower hose. It allows me to adjust the amount of water flow or to turn the water off entirely and keep the desired temperature while lathering up. The valve also saves water. Very simple to mount. Be sure you use Teflon plumbers' tape to prevent leaks. Clean the threads of the older parts well before wrapping them. I mounted the holding bracket at about shoulder-level and toward the side away from the shower door so that when I first step in, I can adjust the water temperature before I begin showering.

Pictures don't do justice to this handheld. It looks classy, but you can't really appreciate it until you feel the solid, well-balanced weight of it in your hand and see the high-volume yet smooth and well-controlled flow of water it emits. Our tiny Delta Faucet 52652-PK Universal Showering Components, 2-Setting Showerhead, Chrome produces a consistently vigorous and stimulating shower from almost no water (less than 0.5 gpm) all the way up to its rated 2.5 gpm. We use the fixed head all the time for normal showering. But the KES handheld produces a gentle stream even at high flows, which means it can be used as a bidet wand or to rinse down tile, glass, or other surfaces without splattering water everywhere. I measured its flow at 3 1/4 gpm (vs. 2.0 gpm for the Delta on our water pressure). The high flow and hand-held portability makes it convenient to quickly fill a bucket in showers without a tub spout. Get one today; you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. Ours is mounted on a Delta Faucet U4985-SS-PK Universal Showering Components Wall Supply Elbow/Mount, Stainless connected to a built-in diverter, but if your shower doesn't have a separate handheld supply you can connect it to a diverter mounted directly on the main showerhead arm.

Trust me no matter how great I tell you this is, until you try it your not going to understand. I just moved into my new house last week. The water pressure in the showers was so low it seemed to trickle out and the shower heads are installed very high. This hand held is perfect.1. The water pressure is better then any of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.2. Its very nice looking (all the pieces match perfectly)3. It was very easy to install unscrew the old one and screw this one in its place.4. The price is unbelievable. I thought for the money I was going to get something plastic. But No its sturdy Stainless steel.I purchased 2 already and I'm going to purchase another for the 3rd bath and one for my daughter away at school.

I like this product for its flow, volume, lightweight, length, and looks. A great improvement would be an on/off button/switch on the handheld sprayer in addition to where it connects to your water source.

I like the flexible hose. Every handheld I looked at in the stores I could go to had horrible rigid hoses.If there was an on/off button on the handheld shower head itself, I'd give it ten stars.

My wife loves this for bathing our dogs. Nice long hose also. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is I wish it had a water pipe mounted holder like most hand held shower heads instead of the wall mount.

good value for the moneyexcellent shower spray with even pressurelightweight and flexible but sturdy hosethe mount is a little ugly and comes only with screw mount and no adhesive option

Replaced a disappointingly poor but expensive shower head system with this. It is lightweight. The shower head itself is metal - looks and feels sturdy. The hose is extra long (which can come in the way sometimes, but wouldn't consider it as a negative - it is advertised to have an extra long hose). The fixed shower pattern is uniform - no misalignment. The only negative would be the holder itself (not using it) - it is cheap plastic. Would've been better if it was metal as well. For the price, I would consider it a great deal.

The KES LP150 Bathroom Shower Head is sleek, modern and powerful even if you have iffy water pressure. It sprays an intense rectangular stream of water and the long hose reaches everywhere without fumbling. Instructions were minimal, but I installed it in about ten minutes on my tub's tile shower enclosure using only a pair of pliers, an electric drill with a 1/4" masonry bit, and a Phillips screwdriver.Unfortunately, the wand support is poorly designed. It does not adjust downwards, so the powerful water stream shoots parallel across my tub enclosure and impacts the opposite wall at head height! Plus the cheap plastic does not snap together securely, so I ended up using Super Glue to hold it together. It looks nice, but you may want to attach a KES K1140B Shower Head Shut-Off Valve to the base of the wand so water only flows when you are ready.So, four stars for a great shower head but a wretched holder.

I did purchase a different mount as I did not want to ruin the fiberglass surround tub (bolt mount included would probably crack fiberglass surround). There is a plastic mount you can order separately that seems to be holding. The pressure coming out is sufficient for me, but I know most people would prefer a higher pressure. There is only one stream pressure. I do like how it looks, very modern. I wish they had a model similar to this with more stream settings. It was easy to install (about 5 minutes). You do need to use the included tape to prevent leaks. Once installed, there were no leaks. I bought this model due to its appearance, but its my guess most people would prefer more stream settings.

I have a lot of pressure from my shower and my shower head can take it but this thing has a hard time. It sprays from the links at both ends. I’m just too lazy to replace it I guess. This thing doesn’t stay in any holder very well so make sure you buy a bigger one. It is a fancy looking shower sprayer though, so I’ll keep it for esthetics.

Although it seems well made, it had no installation instructions???

Awesome. Great water presure. Updated review 12/3/2016. I love this wand but the holder is 2 pieces of cheap plastic. The clip holding it together broke so I don't have a holder. I ordered a solid metal holder but it was too small for the wand. I would recommend the wand itself but I suggest you order a solid holder. I am trying to find a solid holder to fit the wand. Even a solid one piece plastic holder would work better than the one included with this wand. Easy five stars with a proper holder.

While I am satisfied with this product, it suffers a couple of defficiencies a buyer should know. While the wand is constructed from what appears to be a stainless tube, the rest of the product is plastic. The metal looking parts of the hose are plastic. The wand attachment to the hose can not be tightened sufficiently enough to remove an unsightly gap between the wand and the hose fitting.

The shower wand is nice and the hose is of decent quality , however the wall mount is not very well constructed and has already broke, I will have glue the cover together. I suggest a redo on the wall mount.

It was advertised to come with a 79" hose, but only comes with a 59" hose.

The shower head is fine, but the metal hose broke the first month of use. Really disappointing.

Thought with the more limited holes it would have better pressure than others but it's still not great. The dispersal of the water is it's real downfall. It's concentrated in direct streams straight out of the area with the holes so you get a spray that's only an inch wide by a few inches long. The positive, no flow restrictor to remove, it's an aluminum wand and best part is that the hose has metal connectors (unlike the plastic ones that come on so many others...the hose itself is worth the price.

Hand held is great but the wall mount pops off the wall plate very easy

The shower head is good but the accompanied mounting bracket has a serious design flaw. The bracket will come off the mounting plastic piece with ease. Instead of going through the trouble of returning it, we had to use epoxy to permanent glue the bracket to the plastic mounting piece.

The shower head was fine. I would have enjoyed the flow. The hose was damaged on arrival where connecting pieces were assembled. Connectors are plastic, the washers did not fit properly and caused minor leakage. I attempted several installs and could not solve the leakage issue. This was not DIY error - I've installed many shower heads with no issues. This is not a $70 shower head, but I felt I received the quality I paid for. If washers were correctly sized and the hose wasn't damaged, I would have been satisfied.

Worked fine for about two months. This shower head had to be replaced. It made unbearable noises while on.

It had no hardware or attachment to hook it up. Very disappointed

The attachment piece that holds thhe sprayer to the wall is incredibly cheap and does not keep it in place!

Cheaply made. I put my old shower head back on.

This shower head came in a box with an entirely different shower head pictured. I imagine they just changed out the head. The wall bracket does not hold the shower head, the hose does not tighten down on the shower head, AND the extra bracket that we bought for aesthetics does not fit either. We will have to go to the local plumbing store and buy new parts for this to work.Very disappointed

It wouldn't sit up straight in the holder & I didn't want it to fall out & crack my bathroom shower tile. I returned this. I also bought the shower arm diverter from this company. I do not recommend that either. It leaked out of the diverter not where the threading connected it to the water supply but instead from the body of the diverter I do not think highly of this brand at all.
