Tools and Hardware Reviews of Waterpik TRS-559 Elements 5-Mode Handheld Shower, Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
Most of the water setting is not easy to use. The cord should be at least 2'' longer.Customer Review: Just what I needed, but never knew before - Fat people rejoice! (=
Summary: 5 Stars
We just moved into a new home with water-saving showerheads that made showering feel like an assault with needles, so we were very excited to try something different. I selected this model after seeing that the flow regulator was easy to remove since the water pressure where we live isn't optimal.
In terms of water flow, we went from famine to feast. The water comes out so much better with this showerhead and without the flow regulator in place that I may actually try replacing it for a while. The multiple settings are nice, but as others have said, the massage is weak at best. I don't have any problems with the misting setting, however, and will probably use just one setting most of the time anyway.
I wish I would have purchased one of these years ago, as the handheld feature is just what I've always needed but never knew it. For an overweight person, like me, normal showers don't always get the job done when your stomach acts like an umbrella -- with this I can rinse my legs (and more!) again with confidence!
The showerhead is plastic, though the brushed nickel looks nice and it doesn't feel as cheap as I expected. A pair of needlenose pliers made quick work of removing the flow regulator, and installation was a snap once we wrestled the old showerhead off.
Less than 12 hours after receiving this I'm ordering another one for our daughter's bathroom! This was the best shower I've had in over a year, and that includes Caesar's Palace :) I doubt I will, but even if I needed to replace this 2 or 3 times a year, it would still be well worth the cost!
Customer Review: Leaked but was able to fix :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Was a little frustrated at first because no matter what I tried it leaked right where the pipe from the wall and bracket meet. Followed the instructions and didn't use pipe tape. It also says to hand tighten only. A quick call to Waterpik customer service solved the problem. Simply use bar soap and coat the threads of the bracket and pipe. I did use a wrench to gently tighten and no more leaks. :) Also had a little trouble removing the orange water flow restrictor but needle nose pliers solved that problem and I was able to pull it out.Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great item. I purchased one for each of the bathrooms in my condo and I love them. The installation is a breeze, took all of 5 minutes. Plus the directions give you the option to take out the "low-flow" filter for areas (such as the area I live in) that already have low water pressure. The old shower heads I had didn't give me this option so I had low water pressure PLUS the low flow filters - which meant virtually a trickle in the shower. So nice to take a real shower again!Customer Review: Love the shower head - not Amazon service
Summary: 5 Stars
This shower head is great and lives up to it's promises. When Waterpik first came out, I didn't like them as I thought they were too harsh. They've come a long way. PLEASE NOTE: Amazon lists this as Free Super Saver Shipping. When I checked out my order it was directed to a third party shipper for which I had to pay shipping on (very happy with the third party). I included some books in my order to reach the "$25" limit. Cancelled that order as it was delayed a month even though books were listed as available. But like I said, the shower head is great - Amazon is not.
