Side by Side Comparison of: HotelSpa vs WantBa

 Everyone needs one of these. Best shower head ever!!!! Easy to install!! It feels like a soft rain waterfall.

This is a great shower head, I am over 6 feet tall, and the extension is perfect so I don't have to lower my head in the shower

Like showering under a torrential downpour in the middle of monsoon season. Not really sure why they call them rainfall shower heads, I have had the honor of standing in some pretty torrential rainfalls, but this is like being rained on by the tears of a thousand faeries.

Almost makes you look for a streetlight to swing around. Perfect rainstorm.

Cheap Plastic but perfectly adequate for a cheap shower head. I recommend an additional extension arm because this arm will only bring the shower head closer towards you and not much higher up.

 I have never really had great luck finding a showerhead that gave me a satisfying experience....that is, until I discovered this gem. This replaced a fancy but impotent multi-setting shower massage wand with a small head and poor spray that just wasn't getting the job done. The various spray patterns didn't help either.The Wantba does away with all those gadgets and settings, and just gives you the nicest, strong stream of soft but powerful spray jets to rinse you in a pleasurable rainfall that easily reaches your favorite spots. If you live in an upstairs apartment with lackluster water pressure, this performs superbly. I removed the pre-installed flow regulator and was amazed at the flow and pressure of the streams this puts out. It's made with a domed chrome metal shell, adjustable swivel, and can be easily disassembled if any debris gets inside. The rubber nozzles should last a long time and look easy to keep clean and free flowing. Want to see it in action?

This is the first shower head that I installed without the water saver, then removed to install the water saver. Without the "water saver", this gives an awesome spray! I can see why people like it so much. It actually was a bit much for me, so I put the water saver in and it still is pretty good. So, recommend you try it with the flow restrictor in (in my case, it was already installed when the shower head was delivered, others say it was packed separately). You might be happy enough with that and save water (and as importantly save the energy to heat the water).

This shower head has saved my life! I just moved to an apartment and spent the last two weeks showering with the worst water pressure I've ever experienced...think the trickle at a beach rinse off station. This shower head has completely transformed my shower experience. I installed it without the flow regulator. Boom. Amazing water pressure. It cut my shower time in half! My long hair is rinsed quickly and effectively. I can't say enough good things about it. First world water pressure problem: solved!

You know how apt bldg give u that generic shower head that come with 3 levels, well mines was always slow, and low pressure. So I rotated it some to see if that would help. It did for a while. But now its almost 3yrs later, and I can't take it anymore. Found this showerhead on Amazon, and now I feel like I'm living in a castle lol...this is really a rainfall shower head. Its pressure is just right. I realize the water pressure is on the customer end, so that's why i purchased this showerhead to get my shower full benefits. I stay in the shower longer. It cover my head fully when washing it, no more leaning to one size lol. Very nice for the price!

To me, this is at least as good as any other shower head I've used in terms of the feel of the shower, and better than most. I've had multi-function shower heads, but always ended up using a rainfall type pattern, so I don't miss having options. I have excellent well water, but very occasionally I get a bit of silt, so the fact that this can be disassembled and cleaned was a big plus. In fact in about ten minutes with a screwdriver and a pin or needle to clear the nozzles, it works like new.

SO AMAZING! I just moved into a new apartment where the shower pressure was so awful I couldn't even wash shampoo/conditioner out of my hair. Bought this in hopes that it would enhance the shower pressure and IT DID. This showerhead has changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with bad water pressure in their showers.

Looks mettalic, but of course it's plastic. It does work great, and as long as it holds up to use (the lightweight plastic construction tells me it won't if you plan on adjusting it much) then I'd call it a good deal. Time will tell.

This product works great and was so easy to install. My husband and I were wanted to get a better shower head for our apartment. I bought this because of the good reviews and great price and it is great! I was able to install while my husband was at work! It does look and feel a little plastic-y, but it works great and has a sleek design.

Great waterfall style shower head for a really great price. Despite the fact that the shower head is plastic it works just fine and no one will know except you that it's not made of metal. I really like the amount of water that comes through the individual nozzles on the head and overall it delivers a very satisfying shower. I'll be buying another for our other bathroom.

Shower head arrived on time and as advertised. It's plastic but still looks good and works fine. No leaks. The water pattern is good. We left the flow restricter in and it's fine but that all depends on each home's water pressure. A nice improvement over what we had. All-in-all a very good value.

It's ok, you need a lot of water flow to get the full effect I'm guessing, it is better if you take out the restrictor, also there is more plastic involved than I was expecting so that was a bit of a letdown

I did a product test between 4 different high pressure shower heads. The 6 function luxury shower head from Aqua Elegante, the Wantba 6" high pressure rainfall massage, the Speakman S-2252 Anystream, and the Delta 75152 single function shower head.Wantba:Pros: Simple, easy to clean, decent coverage (note: the coverage starts out wide but narrows a bit downstream due to the way the water falls and the nozzles are orientedCons: no adjustable spray pattern, stream pressure less than that of other comparable showerheads. I would not necessarily classify this as true rainfall experienceGet this if: want a simple mid pressure, stream abundant showerhead for cheap and you don't care about adjustable features

I'm perfectly happy with this purchase. Nice price too, all tings considered. Have you checked out prices for shower heads at hardware-type places? $hee$h! Anyhow, I swapped out my tiny and disgracefully poor apartment shower head with the WantBa 6. There is for sure a noticeable difference with the water stream! There's more water pressure (I removed the low flow thingy) and there's a slightly wider circumference of water spray.The only "bad thing" I notice about the WantBa 6 is water is dribbling out of a few of the rubber tip spray holes. Plus a few of the rubber tips are going a little haywire and spraying streams of water toward the shower curtain instead of on my back. So I have to keep bending them back into position. I'm guessing it's just something I'm going to have to do for the life of the shower head. Not a major deal.So the bottom line is, yes, I'd buy this product again. And I would recommend it for anyone in the market for an affordable shower head.

This was partly a planned purchase and partly an impulse buy. I wanted a new shower head and when this popped up on a lightning deal I decided to give it a try since it had excellent reviews. I didn't care anything about having an adjustable shower head. I'm happy with it. I originally put it in without the flow restrictor, but wound up putting it back in since I have pretty strong water pressure. The pressure is just right for me and I love the large shower head size. I take away a start because some of the spray nozzles can go a little wayward, but since they're rubber a quick brush over will get them back in line. It's just an annoyance. I've been using this for almost two months now and that is my only complaint.

Love it. You will need to buy a extension rod and some teflon seal tape to get the best results out of this shower head. That way you can really get a wider range of motion. That was key for me because I am tall but my lady is tiny so with the extension rod we can raise and lower the shower head to suit both of us. Both the extension rod and plumbing seal tape can be purchased right here on Amazon and is a very simple install with vice grips or channel locks. We don't get very good water pressure in the bathroom we installed this shower head but it seemed to increase the flow a bit which was nice. There is only one flow setting but it's perfect so you don't need any others in my opinion. Great product especially for the price

Wanted to provide a comparison of the 2 best shower heads (in my opinion):1. Rainfall: good shower head. 6" span and nice feel. Comes with 2.5 GPM regulator separately, which people seem to not notice in the packaging. I installed first with the regulator and the shower felt OK but not impressive. I think most buyers of this shower head don't know that the regulator is the little circular peg in the separate ziplock bag, and thus never install. Most shower heads come with the regulator installed--this is unique about the Rainfall. I've attached a photo of the regulator to this review. After removing the regulator, it was VERY nice. Powerful but not uncomfortable, more of a good water massage. The only issue I had with the Rainfall was that the water was directed exactly in a cylinder the size of the shower head. There was no spreading out of the water. For some people, this is a plus. For me, I wanted a little more dispersion of the water to cover more of my body at once.2. Moen 6302: There are 2 models of this available on the internet--retail and commercial. The commercial is metal, the consumer is more plastic. I first experienced the Moen when vacationing in San Antonio. We stayed in the Omni La Mansion del Rio on the riverwalk. I don't normally care about showers in a hotel--but this one was impressive. Very good jet, not exactly a cone but disperses more than strait forward from the jets. Covers the body well but good power--nice massage feeling. So much so that I paid attention to the shower head and even photographed it to buy for home. I wasn't disappointed. Very nice--but again, best with the regulator removed.Summary: both are single function shower heads--which I like--how often do I want to switch "modes"? Not often from prior experience. Both have very nice massaging jets but for me the differentiator was the direction of the jets. The Moen covered more area as it dispersed the jets slightly apart. The Rainfall was a pure line straight out of the jets--as a cylinder. For me, the Moen won the competition. Used by top hotel lines, it is a true winner. I'd recommend though, the commercial version for longevity.

Takes 3 seconds for it to go into full throttle.Also takes about 20 seconds for it to completely stop.Water pressure is great and I like the look of it.I just wish water would stop clean when I tell it to stop.But I will still keep it.4 stars.

Plastic everything. Functions probably

nothing special -- worth the price

water volume or pressure is really pathetic. Don't know if it is the large surface area of the head or a problem of there being only so much pressure to distribute across too large a surface. Plastic. Gone back to the 5" Kohler head I had before. Kept the arm for the time being.

It was cheap. It replaced a shower head that was even cheaper and lacked the silicone nozzles that allow for easy descaling. The whole thing is plastic aside from a washer or two. However, it hasn't leaked at all, and it's a snap to clean.

Yes this thing is 100% plastic. I thought for $30 bucks why not. It is ok. You have to be careful installing it and not to over tighten. If you are looking for a cheap rain head this is it. The adjustable arm did not hold up the head. The knob did not tighten all the way. I had to use a small flat head to jam in to get it tight. Still on the fence if I am going to keep it.

Ok shower head. My only issue was I thought it would be more of a wider spray but it actually sprays and gets narrow

We have had this shower head a few weeks now and I've gotten used to it. The water pressure comes out wonderful and the head it self is very nice looking. My only dislike is that the stream tapers in when on instead of a cone out. So if you have a small shower stall this maybe a great option for you so water doesn't spill out all over the floor, which I'm contemplating on moving it into our shower stall and getting a broader ranged shower head for our tub.

It's not bad but it could be better. As others have stated it water is very confined. It's probably only a 4" diameter of spread from about 2 feet from the head and gets a little smaller as it get to the shower floor. It's like a beam of water. I didn't realize it would be that bad. It doesn't fan our at all. I too had to remove the water flow regulator to get the pressure I needed. It does look nice and seems well made but wish I had got something different but I guess I will keep it in the guest bath.

I think the 'rainfall' term hints at it...a soothing shower experience, not the strong pulsating description as in other reviews. My water pressure is fine since all I did was get this as a replacement, but if you want strong pressure stream of massaging water during your shower, this will not do it. Addendum: Ok, you must take out the water regulator to get a stronger stream. I'll still keep at 3 stars for this.

An improvment over the previous shower head but not the drastic improvement that I was hoping for. I have come to appreaciate the shower heads that sting your back a little. This one has a softer touch. Streams still angle inwards making for a narrow wash zone but I guess thats better than spraying the walls and curtain with water constantly.

It's amazing with a hitch. I must admit we love the shower head but it comes with a big downfall. It uses at least two to three times as much water as my previous head. We live in a house where the hot water heater is undersized. This has never been an issue unless we fill up a bath tub or have a few guests staying with us. With this shower head the hot water is used up after ONE shower! This tells me that this amazing shower head is using way more water than it states. I'm going to try and see if I can find a restrictor that actually restricts flow but at this point, it's using way too much water for daily use!More to come..

It looked like chrome when I decided to buy it, come to find out its plastic that looks like chrome, very light and easily breakable.
Have used it a couple of times and then decided to switch it out as it has too high a high flow rate even though I used a restrictor.

I wasn't the biggest fan of this product. The overall quality seemed fairly cheap. I know it's a rainfall shower head, but there was absolutely no pressure behind it. I had it installed for one shower and immediately replaced it again.

Broke in 3 months

It feel really cheap. It works just ok.... wouldnt buy it again.

super lightweight, felt cheap as i tightened it by hand, and still leaked. Ended up keeping the extension arm and tossing the head.

This is the third showerhead we have bought of this exact model (3 different homes), but this last one does not perform in the same way as the others. While the pressure is strong, it only hits you in one spot at a time, rather than all over. So when you are washing shampoo out of your hair, your shoulders are cold because they are not under the water flow. Did something change with the way this product is made? Will likely be returning it and choosing a different showerhead.

It reminded me of the shower heads they use at public pools. It is big and not that powerful and the spray cannot be adjusted. I returned it for a full refund. They are very helpful and seem anxious to help their customers.

2 major problems.Water pressure was terrible for me, even with restrictor/water saver removed. Had nowhere near the same pressure as the cheap, plastic, 8 year old bulb type head it replaced.Won't get proper angle on standard 45 degree supply pipe. May be OK if showering in a tub, and standing in middle of it. But, only have a shower in my master bath and this could only be aimed as low as my shoulders in the confined space. There just isn't enough tilt in the supplied connector. Could have used a different supply pipe that was centered over shower and allowed it to go straight down, but definitely not worth doing for this one with low pressure and confined spray.

noisy, does not aim down far enough so stream hits shower wall instead of floor

I should have believed what some other posters had stated about this product. I took my first shower this morning and the engineers must have been Chinese sized people. The spray pattern is not spread out enough for me versus my old 6 inch Water-Pik shower head. In fact it cones down to a fairly small area versus where the water is coming from on the head. Plus it drips water for a very long time after you turn the water off. Not a problem for most but I like to squeegee the walls down immediately after finishing my shower. I will give this a longer try for a week or so but if I don't adapt to the smaller shower pattern it will be going back to Amazon. BTW, I use a diverter and a handheld Oxygenics shower head for areas where this shower head cannot reach.On Edit: Well after a couple of days I couldn't stand any longer so it's going back! I purchased a Kohler single spray 6 inch shower head from Lowe's. For only a few dollars more it is 1000 times better than the WantBa Rainfall High Pressure unit.

Gives a nice rain like feel.Instead of the water fanning slightly outwards as it comes down it stays in a single stream. By the time it hits the floor there is only a small golfball size water stream. A slight reposition of the nozzles outwards would make this shower head 100 time better. I have a cheap 2in head bought from a big box store that ends up having a wider spray than this one due to the nozzle position.

Run away from this product. Cheap chrome plated plastic.

When this arrived, I was surprised to find out that it was cheap feeling plastic, but it looked ok, and worked well, so I kept it. I bought it last July/August when I moved in, and yesterday it spontaneously fell into the tub, broken, and unfixable. A screw is stripped in the arm of the shower head. I don't even know how that could happen, we never even touch the thing! I would expect something to last more than six months, I am extremely displeased. Buy American

Cheap piece of plastic in fact the whole thing is plastic. Not worth it returned it.

Not a fan, it is VERY cheap plastic. If you have to remove it and put it back on the inside is stripped because the plastic just shreds away. Although the water does come out ok.

Update: 4 months later the shower head is broken, it keeps leaking and water sprays out from all areas. It is crazy!!! Very cheap, not a good purchase at all. Buyer beware, do not order this product! You will regret the purchase!

Made of plastic. I returned it!

I was happy with this initially, but after only nine months it stopped working completely.

Fell apart after 6 months

This shower head is terrible. It really only has water pressure coming from the center of the shower head, which reduces its surface area greatly. It feels like I'm showering under the world's tiniest shower head. I am very disappointed.

Range of motion is horrible.

This is a terrible product. Had it for two months and the holes are clogged causing really low water pressure. These started out great and I love the idea of a rainfall shower but these missed the mark, by a lot. Incredibly disappointed... 😞

Had to return it due to leaking.
