Speakman Icon S-2252-BN-E175 Low Flow Shower Head, 1.75 GPM, Brushed Nickel

This is a great unit that can really make a difference if you have pressure issues like we do. Our old wand would turn to a drizzle when someone was washing up in the kitchen. Not anymore! We get hard massage like flow on the tighter settings even with the source pipe being less than half an inch and the coverage at 6 inches above head height is wide and generous. If you get this at around $50 on sale like we did, you will be very satisfied. Be sure to check all your fittings and take measurements first as this is just the shower head a small amount of plumbers tape in this package.

Muy bueno

Serves well the purpose

Es la mejor regadera

One of the best purchases I’ve made in years. I got it for about $50–60 (roughly half off), and it completely solved the weak water stream and stubborn soap-scum rinsing issues that had frustrated me for so long. (Upgrading my bar soap also helped with the stubborn soap-scum rinsing problem.) Showering is finally enjoyable again. The power is perfect—not even close to painful—even with the flow restrictor removed. The swivel moves smoothly while still feeling solid, and both the flood mode and the power setting are fully satisfying. I also love the look: impressive but understated, not gaudy, the perfect size, and not nearly as heavy as some reviews claimed (at least the 6-jet version I bought). I did get a small two-drops-per-second leak where the arm meets the head, but I’m sure that’s just from using too little plumber’s tape. Honestly, the first shower—and every one since (I’ve used it daily for a week now)—has been so good that I haven’t even bothered fixing it yet. Update 1 week later 11/28/25: Just checked the spot where the leak was to see if I still needed to reinstall the showerhead with extra layers of plumber's tape, and the leak's gone now- on both the flood and power settings. Perfect. So I don't need to do anything.
