PS: Has anyone tried out qualitybath.com? Their prices are lower than Amazon and they have mostly positive reviews. However, I'm hesitant as although most of their reviews are 5's, there are a smattering of 1's in between the 5's. Makes me think that the 1's are real and that the 5's are being posted by qualitybath employees. So real world opinions would be great.

I would get the axor starck. you have tried it and it's something you like. I don' think you are missing out on the swirl.

I bought a hansgrohe potfiller from qualitybath before.. good price, quick ship and no issue. Since I didn't have issue with the product, it's hard to comment on if they are good if something goes wrong.

Hi noopd,

Thanks for your comment. Just to verify, you don't work for qualitybath?

Quality bath is An authorized dealer for hansgrohe, they get their merchandise directly from them . If there is an issue with any product, you can call hansgrohe directly since they have a limited life time warranty on their products. I just placed an order for a couple of thousands dollars of hansgrohe products , a tub filler and shower system . They will be delivered in a couple of weeks , because I am going out of town for a week. I will let you know how it goes. They have an extra 10 % off hansgrohe right now .

no i don't work for them.
I bought a hansgrohe potfiller from a place online based on cheap price but i received it defective. it was a nightmare dealing with that company for return. It took like 3+ months to prove that it's defective to them.. so meanwhile, I ordered the same one from qualitybath..(also very competitive price) they were helpful and it arrived fast with no problem.. Again.. i can't comment on how things may turn out if i had to do a return. but they were nice.

Thanks for the comments.

Lillo, did you verify that they are an authorized dealer with Hansgrohe or did you use what you saw on their website?

Funny about their 10% off right now, yesterday it expired today, today it expires tomorrow.

noopd, glad you had a good experience.

Can't help with the showerhead question, but you might want to check out faucetdepot.com for prices. We bought all our Hansgrohe bathroom fixtures there - pricing was the best I could find online, good return policy (didn't need it), and service was great.

We ordered a lot of Hansgrohe last summer and fall. Wayfair and HomePerfect had much better prices than anyone else. HomePerfect had a great record with us of fast shipping too.

I just placed a large order with QualityBath for 2 vanities and Ginger bathroom accessories. I should receive the Ginger products today, but the vanities will take 2-3 weeks. I'll let you know how my Ginger delivery goes today. I saw 2 positive comments on Gardenweb for them and hoping it's true.

My orders from Wayfair, HomeClick and Amazon have gone very smoothly though the freight company delivering my toilets took down my cable lines with their truck! I placed an order with HomePerfect, but canceled the order later that day on the phone. The HomePerfect salesperson was a bit rude with my cancellation. I probably won't order from them again in case I need to deal with any issues. I did not get a good feeling from them.

asharding-- It's been some time since the last post, but I am curious to know which choice you decided to buy. I am considering the Hansgrohe 28433001 Chrome Raindance Shower Head Rainfall Trim Multi Function like the Choice 3 on your original post. Looking for advice on whether to purchase this?

I have another shower head by hansgrohe, not listed above. It is about 17" side to side. I love the wide spray pattern, it keeps me covered, shoulder to shoulder. It also has the waterfall feature, that I could have done without, now that I've tried it. If I remember that 240 listed above only has a spray pattern of 7" dia. That is pretty small for a rain shower, according to some posts I'd read here in years past. If money were no object I'd get choice 1 of the 3 listed above. I have a handheld with my set that has a whir pattern so wouldn't need it in the shower head. The feature that allows the inner ring to shut off would be fantastic in washing hair. With mine I have to lean out of the spray to soap my hair.

C&R is so right about the garden hose effect. That is exactly how I describe it too. On a rare occasion I like it. It would be good for someone with thick hair, it will rinse it real quick.
