Best dual shower head set
If you're looking for an affordable dual shower head, Wayfair’s top choice is this set that has a rain shower and hand-held shower head. The stylish shower head has earned an impressive 4.7 out of 5-star rating, with reviewers saying it has "great" water pressure, looks more expensive than it is, and that for DIY-ers, it’s easy to install because it has adjustable wall brackets so you can use existing fixing holes. “Excellent! Looks lovely and works a treat! Look forward to my morning shower now,” said one shopper.
Best water-efficient shower head
According to Energy Saving Trust, using a water-efficient shower head can save £45 off a typical family’s gas bills and around £25 off their water bills yearly. Grohe's water-saving shower heads, the Rainshower Icon, Eco and Solo models, can reduce water consumption by up to 50%. You can also shop the Rainshower Eco on Amazon.
Best budget shower head
This Triton shower head is suitable for all showers, is easy to clean, and has five settings to suit your mood. "Very pleased," said one reviewer. "I had purchased many shower heads over the years from various retailers but this is one of the best... You can have a soft flow, or a roaring power shower and other flows – five different ones to choose from... Certainly would recommend this shower head."
Best vintage shower head
Classic shower heads are a big interior design trend. If you want a vintage-look shower head to make a style statement, the Milano Elizabeth 300mm shower head with wall-mounted arm, which has a 10-year guarantee, comes in both a brushed gold or an oil-brushed bronze finish. The large rainfall shower head has a swivel joint and wide coverage to make your shower a true five-star experience.
Best high-pressure shower head
If you have high water pressure in your home, the Raindance Select S 150 from German company Hansgrohe is a shoppers’ favourite. As one Amazon reviewer revealed: “The button select works perfectly and is so easy to use that I often switch between modes mid-shower. Each mode is distinct, and the rotating massage jets feel really nice. Build quality is what you would expect from Hansgrohe - the Mercedes-Benz of showers! It isn't the cheapest but offers good value for money.” The shower head also comes in the Eco Flow model, which features an automatic flow rate limiter to a maximum of 9L/min.
Best rain shower head
This stylish 200mm ceiling rain shower, fashioned from stainless steel and brass and finished in high-quality polished chrome, has a perfect 5-star rating. "Quality shower head at a great price,” enthused one shopper. “This was bought to replace our existing shower head that was caked in limescale! The shower head is good quality being made of steel (as opposed to plastic) with nylon holes that can be moved to dislodge limescale. It fitted easily and ready for use in a minute! The difference in performance against the old shower head is very apparent and now provides a good drench and output.”
