Is the following a good one, although it does not have the tub spout? It comes with pressure balance and thermostatic models. I saw a complaint to Grohe's thermostatic model before (temperature changed when some people flushed the toilet), so this pressure balance model might be fine. It does not have the rainhead, which some people complained of low pressure. Can the fixed shower and handheld one run simultaneously? Most important question, do I need to order additional parts if I want to buy this kit? Thank you very much.

Your best bet would be to purchase a corded handvac with revolving brushroll like the Dirt Devil Ultra Handvac M08230X. It is a proven design, that has been around since the 80's in the plastic form. Royal made it in the metal form even older than the plastic design. With the corded models, you can clean the stairs or furniture with no time limit. It uses a shake-out bag or you can use a paper bag. Dirt Devil also has a few other models that use pleated filter. With these, you will have to make sure that you clean the filter very well after each use. Check out the Dirt Devil Classic Handvac M0100 or the Dirt Devil Power Reach M08245X. With the Eureka mentioned earlier, you will also have a filter that you muct keep clean after each use. The Dyson's filter will do well, but you will have a very short time to clean before recharging, plus the cost of the Dyson is high. You did not mention what brand and model of upright vacuum you have, but you can purchase a mini turbo attachment. This attachment will use a revolving brush, that will do well at cleaning up pet hair. Here is a link that might be useful: Dirt Devil Ultra Handvac

ilene, I read somewhere before you vacuum furniture beat it a bit to loosen the dust. I like to keep my life simple and I don't fill it up with a lot of specialty items. I use soap and water to clean. Sparkle for my glass things and plain old dust rags and Endust for dusting. No more chemicals than I have to use.

We went with the Delta Lockwood for ours--we have the thermostatic control with regular shower head, the handshower with slide bar, an overhead raincan and the diverter. We can run each component by itself or in any combination of 2 or 3. I've listed a link below that will give you everything you need to know pretty much for setting up your shower with multiple components using a Delta system. Another option would be to use one of Delta's N2ition shower heads instead of the slide bar option. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Delta Shower System Setup
