Tries to be 2 types of shower but not good at either
354763
This shower head can function either as a rain shower where it uses all the jets, or as a more traditional shower where it only uses the nozzles in the middle of the shower head.

The problem is it isn't good at either.

In rain shower mode, you notice the rain pattern isn't very even.  Its stronger in the middle, and very soft towards the edges.  It feels weak and disappointing even for a rain shower.

In the traditional mode, there are insufficient nozzles for it to compete with a single function head like a Kohler Katalyst model.  Further it's not that powerful even without the flow limiter.

Final issue is the build quality is really poor.  It's all plastic and feels really cheap.  Can't imagine this lasting.

It just didn't do it for me.  Pressure wise, it was fine.  But I was not a fan of the nozzle type shower head.  It really is like 4 direct streams shooting at you.  Water hits you and sprays everywhere.  Some reviews stated just this, but I took the gamble anyway.  2 weeks of trying it out, had to remove it.  Also, as other have stated, I could not tell the difference between the two settings.  If someone wants a shower head that is like 4 high pressure streams, then this might just be for you!

This is definitely not a product for those of you looking to be green and save water. I was looking for a nice multi-function shower head, though, and I got one! I only use 3 of the functions for the most part, but it's nice to have the "off" setting available for shaving in the shower. I have a relatively small shower stall, and it was difficult to get completely out of the water with the old shower head.

Just installed this this morning and already took a shower. I bought this based on the brand name and everyone's review. So for those reading this, please keep in mind, everyone's review is based upon their current shower head! This is a fact. Stating this has great flow, etc is based on your current showerhead as I now have a clear mind to start my review.

The measure of my shower head is a cheap $10 shower head my wife bought over 15 years ago. She drilled into head to not only widen it but also to remove the flow regulator. That showerhead has extreme water pressure and is our benchmark. I was buying this showerhead for our second bathroom which we never really used and the existing showerhead is a soft drizzle. So that's my personal comparison.

As for this Speakman S-2252, I followed the instructions and removed the flow regulator. For those reviewers who claimed they didn't need to, you either have incredible water flow or your current experience isn't like mine. I like to almost feel pain when the water hits me. I want it to feel like a one of those sidewalk cleaners, hard pressure. Not some delicate rainfall. So, I removed the flow regulator which was a pain (both rubber and white plastic). And installed the shower head.

So, not impressed. The problem is the angles of the water nozzles. Here's my deduction: the angles are too wide so the water goes in a really wide radius. My benchmark showerhead has a limited radius so more pressure (or assumption of pressure) in one area like my back. This not only sprays my back but the side walls and the shower curtain. It's way too wide. In order to limit it, you turn the handle which then limits the water. So no good.

I bought this shower head as a replacement to a cheap plastic one. It is sturdy and very nice looking but it has two major flaws. Although it is articulated, the highest angle you can move it is very low and you cannot direct the jet to where you need.  The second problem is that it seems to be designed only for adults as the spray is slightly angled to the outer border, this makes the spray be too sparse for kids to bath, most of the water does not hit the kid's body. The old cheap shower head worked much better as it had a more concentrated spray and allowed a better spray positioning.

Not really that pleased with this. The showerheads are very cheap. The splitter bar would be better if it was a bit wider, I ended up returning this.

The light up part is cool and works well, but the shower head itself leaves a lot to be desired. The flow rate is severely hindered and weak, It leaks around the edges, and makes a continuous whirring sound.

though the pressure was good, its like taking a shower in pins and needles. Nothing refreshing about it. After 2nd shower, it had to go..

Bad design. This thing cannot be installed level the hand shower and switch. It's a wired angle. It's so ugly, wired, and not easy to use.

We actually bought 2 of these and are quite disappointed in several ways.  Although it has good spraying power, do not use if you have well water.  The micro holes get clogged within a month and just wiping across or even scrubbing them down won't do any good.  They spray in all different directions and is extremely annoying. On top of that, the wind the spray causes makes your shower curtain stick to your body. Who wants a stressed out shower? Then order this.  Unfortunately, by the time the return window is closed that is when the problems really start. So we just lost out money-wise on getting a refund.  I've also read the same issues on a few other posts about the outside spray being cooler than the inside...very true.  I really could go on and on about the complaints. Hopefully vendor will reach out to us to resolve this issue and also fix their problem with the shower head.

shower head is very cheap and does not produce a nice stream.  The control handles is awkard to use and the screw holding it in place loosens every couple days.  I will have to use thread locking compound to secure it, which means it will probably strip the screw slots next time I have to remove it which means a lot of extra work for something that should just work.

Would not buy again.  Look for the controls that use a lever to adjust the temp and flow....much nicer to use.

I wanted to like this shower head, I really did. The price was good, the 9 settings were good. It received good reviews from others. It didn't work for me, though. For one, the curve of the hand-held is too pronounced for my shower. The pipe coming out of the wall (which you affix the holder and hose to) comes straight down after doing a L-curve out from the wall. With the angle on the Plumb Craft's hand-held portion, this angled the water spray back into the wall instead of slightly out or even back down again. I'd have to press my chest into the wall just to get under the spray. Also, the way you change settings on this Plumb Craft is by turning the entire showerhead with you hands - no lever or notch attached to it. This adjustment is pretty sticky and hard for me to do with one hand, and since I'd just had shoulder surgery, I only have one hand to work with - something for buyers who have arthritis or other dexterity issues may want to think about. I had much better luck picking up that good old standby, Waterpik - and their quality was better, too.

The water pressure is not what I expected and the different settings are not good alternatives.

Very challenging to install because the top and bottom are on angles so the water doesn't lay inside. The trouble lies with getting the drywall to come close to each top and bottom. I shimmed parts of the drywall to meet my needs. Also other minor problems as boxing it in with studs, had to cut into bedroom closet because house is 60 yrs. old and wall was not thick enough. Tiling went smooth and water doesn't lay inside after each shower!

It's the same old story, a manufacturer has an excellent product and they change it to make it inferior to the old one. Our old one was excellent for a long time and the coil part broke. Not the fault of the showerhead. Plumber broke it (long story). So I ordered another one on Amazon expecting it to be the same. WRONG!!! The flex hose seems the same good quality but the shower head does not put out the same amount of spray. After looking at both heads it is obvious they made all the holes a lot smaller meaning you don't get near as much spray as the old one. I took the watersaver part out and no luck. I even cut out the screen inside for more flow, Still no luck. It just will not put out a satisfactory spray no mater what setting I put it on. If you like a weak spray then this may be ok. Why  can't manufacturers just leave a good thing alone!  I took it out of the master shower and put it in the guest shower where it won't be used much. Very unhappy.

Water kind of comes out in a stream, so if you have a lower shower head like I do, I do not suggest it.
I can image it being better if the shower head was higher, and it's well built, so I'm giving it three stars.

It doesn't have anything to keep it stuck to the wall and the way our shower head sprays we end up with a flood in our bathroom if we don't double check the exact position of the curtain each time. I hate it and will be tossing it out as soon as I have a new one.
