LOVE them, but the experience is a gentle drenching, not as forceful as somepeople like.

I use mine about 95% of the time.

Sales guy told us women tend not to like them because the gentle pressure makes washing soap out of long hair harder. YMMV.

Yep, my wife made me take ours out because of that exact same reason.

we have a Grohe rain showerhead & a regular shower head & can switch back & forth between the 2. I wouldn't want to use the rain shower everyday. I definitely takes longer to rinse.

I grew up with rain shower heads so I prefer the gentle rain like drops to the car-wash high-pressure shower heads that are very common.

Get both and use them as you feel...

I have long, thick hair and enjoy my rain showerhead, but use the wall mount showerhead to rinse my hair. We plan to have the rain showerhead installed again in our new master bath; it's nice to have the "raindrops" and a rain showerhead will fit nicely in our round shower.

We're supposed to be conserving water here in Texas, but there is a showerhead with considerable force. It's the Europa brand. There are several models and they are usually found in the replacement shower heads, not the designer heads.

I can't find information on the Europa brand shower heads anywhere. Help!

Any other comments or suggestions for a rain shower head would be greatly appreciated. - Tom

I can now answer the question I asked, "How great is a rainshower head?"
I went ahead and ordered the Grohe head (very large diameter), and absolutely love it. Our primary showerhead, also Grohe, is on a bar. The rainshower is great as an auxiliary head as the water falls very gently and is very soothing and relaxing.

I would have to admit it is more of an indulgence than a necessity, but we hope to enjoy it for many years.... It's just one of many items that put us way over budget!

I just stayed in a Marriott with a ceiling mounted 'rain' showerhead and a wall mounted regular head. The diverter allowed you to choose both or either one individually. I loved the combination, but if I had to choose one, I would opt for a higher pressure head than the rain type showerhead

I agree with most who have already posted.

A rainshower head is a great secondary head. It's a different type of shower. If it were my only showerhead, I'd be disappointed and would have to replace it with a standard flow head.

But as an option, I like it.

Figured I'll post my question here since the thread is related to my issue:
I'm in the process of having my bathroom re-done, and didn't think that the rainshowerhead would be an issue. Of course, I didn't check on this forum before purchasing it, and am now thinking that I have made a mistake. I purchased a Price Pfister showerhead from Lowes with a divertor, but am thinking that I will probably need a regular showerhead with the rain feature as an option, since I'm used to being able to remove the showerhead to wash my daughter's hair. The plumber has already used some of the parts from the Price Pfister that I already purchased, so at this point, my only option would be to change out the showerhead. Does anyone have any recommendations for a low-cost showerhead that has a rainhead feature?

If you want a fabulous inexpensive showerhead that isn't great looking but is incredibly effective, you can do no better than the Waterpik showerhead that you can get at Costco, Home Depot, etc. It's a great shower (FWIW, we have Grohe Movario showerheads, too, and the Waterpik is a superior shower experience).
