Update:
After several weeks of ownership, this shower head is giving me nothing but frustration.
It leaks like crazy where the head screws into the supply line. I've tightened it a lot, but this just leads to the washer being smashed and it leaks anyways. I've tightened it much less, but this just means it's too lose and any time you swivel the head, the whole unit comes lose. The ball swivel is very stiff if screwed in all the way, so that moving the head itself tends to move the entire installation and just makes it come lose and leak. This has happened nearly every time. It will be fine for a day or two, and then after adjusting the head right or left a couple times or pulling the detachable head on or off, it begins leaking again.
I've read the post about tightening some inner portion with a screwdriver so I'll give that a try, but I'm honestly thinking of just RMA'ing this piece of crap.
Only had this for a short time now so I hope it doesn't break down the road but so far it's been fantastic.
Vastly improved the water pressure over my old (apartment default) Kholer standard showerhead.
For the price (very cheap!) this is a great 2-in-one showerhead solution. The different spray types aren't all that varied, but for this price I didn't expect much.
The instructions are a bit minimal. Be careful when installing this, I recommend only using your hands to tighten the parts together. I used a wrench to do it initially and ended up over-tightening it. As a result one of the rubber washers got lodged up inside the shower spout and caused the showerhead to leak. After opening it up and putting the washer back in the proper place and only tightening it with my hands, it works fine.
Other than that, installation was pretty easy and took about 20 minutes or so. I recommend getting some Teflon tape (to wrap around the fixtures before screwing them together) as well as it does not come in the package.
