When you are remodeling your master bath, it may be difficult to find the best model of hand held shower heads to include in your shower. Some of the more common features include the ability to mount the fixture on the wall, so that you can use the shower head without removing it and holding it each time. Some models also come with water filters, which can help reduce metals and chemicals in the water. You can also find different finishes on various models, including plastic or chrome. Most models offer various ways to adjust the pressure and the type of flow.
If you’ve never shopped for handheld shower heads before, check out the various prices and features of models online, before you buy. Make sure that the shower head you select has all the features you’re looking for. You might ask yourself, as you look at product descriptions, whether each model needs a filter, what type of finishes are offered, and where to mount the fixture so you can use it hands-free if you like.
Once you know what features are most important to you, you can finish up with your online research. You can also buy handheld shower heads online, if they don’t have the models you want locally, at home improvement and bath design stores. Customer reviews from people who have used the models you’re checking will be helpful to you in determining if this head will work the best in your bathroom. Make sure that if you can find reviews, people are satisfied with the models you’re looking at.
You can also learn more about each model of hand held shower heads before you buy, simply by reading the reviews from magazines like Consumer Reports. They do independent testing, so that you can weed out models that have design flaws, or that the testers reported problems with. The information on some of these sites can be a bit dated, but they can help narrow down your search.
It’s also helpful to find salespeople who don’t get paid by commission, to give you feedback they have heard about the models of shower heads you’re looking at. They will know which models sell the most, and whether the people have had trouble with them. Ask clerks at hardware or home improvement stores what they have heard about the various models available.
You can read up on information about each one of the shower heads you are looking at, too. Check to make sure that the manufacturer backs up their products with a warranty, and check to see how long that warranty is good for. You’ll want to know if it will be possible for you to get a refund if the shower head doesn’t work the way the instructions say it should. Make sure the product is designed for the way you will use it. If you need to sit down for showers, hand held shower heads are a must, since a regular shower stream is too far away to use in rinsing, if you’re sitting down.
