hansgrohe Raindance S 9-inch Showerhead - Modern 1-Spray PowderRain Design, Easy Clean with QuickClean Technology in Brushed Black Chrome (27624341), 2.5 GPM Water-Saving Shower Head - Perfect for Luxurious Spa-Like Showers at Home

Great! Just was a little smaller than we would have liked. Bigger models are too heavy though so we are pleasedI just remodeled my bathroom and I must admit, this showerhead is the star of it all! I definitely splurged (on the high end of showerheads), but wow....in this instance I got what I paid for. For a water-saving showerhead, it packs a punch and the droplets are so dense and the streams are so small, it actually feels like a soft blanket or a warm hug on your skin. If you like a strong firm stream of jets, this showerhead isn't for you, but it fit my needs perfectly!Shower head is a work of art, like alot have mentioned. One thing I didn't see mentioned is the lack of splash after the tiny droplets hit the floor from 10 feet. I deleted my shower door, for a more European feel shower, and this shower head does not send any droplets to the floor outside the shower. Weird review I guess, but I really appreciate not stepping in to a lake on the floor after a shower!This is in a whole different category from any American made fixture (Kohler, Delta, Moen, etc...). The sheer weight of this showerhead will impress you, the quality is impeccable. The brushed bronze is such a beautiful color, can't wait to finish our major bath renovation to show what it all looks like.The powder rain droplets are extremely relaxing and gentle. We love that this is only using 1.75gpm to reduce our water usage.Hansgrohe is certainly in the luxury class category.Small diameter because of California water regulations I like the feel of water out of the shower head more like a light spray than a heavy downpourThis is a very nice-looking fixture—elegant, not shiny; it will fit in with a modern bathroom design. But it does require some consideration about what kind of shower you’ll use it in.For one, the 1.75-gpm version’s water flow is pretty weak; it’s very gentle, almost misty, so I would not use this as my main showerhead, but it might be good as a combination with a handheld showerhead and a diverter, so you could use one or the other or both at the same time.Also, its diameter is seven inches (not eight, as the Amazon description says). If you have a large shower, you might want a larger showerhead, but in a small stall, a smaller showerhead is definitely the way to go. We chose a 12-inch rainfall showerhead for one of our bathrooms, with a small stall, and it’s difficult to get out from under the water—to scrub your leg, for example.The price differences between the various finishes for this showerhead are insane. I’m accustomed to slightly different prices for different finishes, and I know that Hansgrohe is a premium brand, but some finishes are double the cost of others.Many rainfall showerheads exist, but not all are equal. I have had Moen and Grohe, and this one is better than both. The finish is excellent, looking a step above the others. The mounting point is also modeled to be more elegant and stylish. The silicone nubs on this one for cleaning are a little different, for better or worse. Rather than the typical thick silicone, these have thin silicone that crumples as you wipe it. I think the idea is to break up any hard water deposits, but I will update this review if I find that they start tearing in a few years of daily wiping. I also do not love the generic plumbing silicone color that they have. It does not look bad, per se, but takes down the overall high end appearance. I don't know why the silicone is not color matched.If you are looking to upgrade your overhead showerhead to create an upscale look, this is definitely one to have on your radar.I recently had the occasion to use the shower in my guest bathroom & discovered that the "Rain Shower" head was just a big shower head & nowhere near as luxurious as the Grohe heads I installed in my other showers. This Grohe does not disappoint in its quality or performance. Like the previous shower heads it is heavier than expected & solid due to the robust construction & quality materials. The matte black finish is a good match for the oil bronze fixtures in the shower.What I was not expecting was the cool "Powder Rain" air infused water spray. It is hard for me describe but it feels like a heavy mist that is still very wet. It feels very luxurious & I might end up with one of these in the master shower. I still have the hand wand if I want scouring water spray.Installation was almost straight forward. There is a small grub screw that is tightened to index the head on the pipe & I suppose to keep it from backing off. That screw was tightened into the threads a little & initially kept it from tightening all the way. Once I backed the grub screw out a little, it tightened & sealed just fine.The head can swivel a little but it is very tight. It won't be getting knocked out of alignment easily.
