Speakman VS-3010-MB-E2 Neo Anystream Multi-Function Handheld Shower Head, 2.0 GPM, Matte Black

Let me tell you about my shower head. Actually, my aunt's shower head, because I loved mine so much, I got her the same one. It's the Speakman VS-3010 Neo Anystream Handheld Shower Head. I've been using this model for five years now, and it's absolutely fantastic. When my aunt needed a new shower head, I knew exactly which one to get her. I ordered it from Amazon, and with their speedy 1-day shipping, it arrived in a flash.First off, Speakman is a brand you can trust. They're known for their quality and durability, and this shower head is no exception. It's super easy to install – even my aunt managed it without any trouble! The spray is completely adjustable, so you can customize it to your perfect pressure and pattern. Whether you want a gentle rain shower or a powerful massage, this shower head delivers. The hose length is also great, giving you plenty of flexibility.Honestly, after five years of daily use, my Speakman shower head is still going strong. It looks great, works great, and it's incredibly reliable. I knew my aunt would love it, and she does!Would I buy it again? Absolutely, without hesitation. In fact, if I ever need to replace my current one (which I don't anticipate anytime soon!), I'll be getting the same model. If you're looking for a high-quality, reliable, and easy-to-install shower head, I highly recommend the Speakman Neo Anystream. You won't be disappointed.

Not sure if the negative reviews actually received the same product.Packaging: Speaking OEM packaging; heavy construction cardboard. Product inside wrapped again in protective paper. Instruction card included. Plumber tape included.Bracket: Metal. Feels sturdy and heavy. The instructions say to wrench tighten the bracket, which to me says it if isn't metal, it's the strongest, heaviest plastic I have ever seen. But it is metal. Says so in the description as well. I feel bad for those who got a plastic bracket.Hose: Metal hose, plastic connections. The hose is fabulous. Not the stupid plastic hoses most of these come with.Hose connection to handheld sprayer: Plastic. Easily hand tightened. I don't think the people who broke this know what "hand-tighten" means. It doesn't mean crank on the thing as hard as you can with your hands. It means tighten it until it stops with only modest force. Do this, run the shower. It if dribbles some water, tighten a bit more. In my experience, I did a light hand tightening, ran the shower. No leaks. But it did have a bit more give to it after, so I hand tightened again. Voila.Hose connection to bracket: Plastic. Easily hand tightened. Same as above. There are even clear labels on which end goes to the sprayer and which goes to the bracketHandheld Sprayer: Plastic. It feels lightweight, but once you attach the hose and have water running, it feels quite sturdy in actual use. The spray pattern is incredible. Absolutely full coverage. So many more sprayers than most of these. The pressure is incredible. I would say easily twice as good as our Waterpik this replaced (both 2.5 GPM).Pressure reducer: Mine didn't have the typical small washer that most of these have. I'm sure there is a reducer, but you absolutely won't know it.

Happened to try this when we were on vacation at a motel, we loved the pressure so I had to order one for home, I didn’t realize how much ours was lacking before! Love the different settings. Easy to install and felt the price was great for the quality.

We just remodeled our old bathroom. The old handheld (looked about 10 years old) worked fine, rinced my hair well, etc. It was never a wonderful shower experience, but it was a good shower. We put in new pipes, new valves, new shower set, and while it all looks beautiful, the pressure just seemed less than before. The plumber said it was because of the new valves in the wall. New regulations for conserving water were making for a disappointing new shower experience. So I started playing "musical showerheads". There was the Vida one that came with our set...weak and soft sprays. There was the Aquabrass...weaker and softer still, if that was even possible. Next, a Moen...not enough improvement to merit the price at $80. Next, a Waterpick that had more power but horrible spray patterns. I returned a Delta H2O which was interesting but didn't quite feel right. It did feel like more water, big rain drops actually. Felt nice from the back but when you turned to face it, it was like a torrential rain hitting you in the face. Not so pleasant. Another Waterpick with different spray pattern...I almost kept this one, but it had a large hole in the middle and did not give adequate coverage. And a Premier handheld, which arrived broken. Now before anyone says I am just picky, I went into my bathroom reno saying I like a firm shower experience, and when you spend all that money on a new bathroom, you want it to be as right as possible. I am not looking for perfection, I just don't want to be disappointed. Now we come to the Speakman Neo. Some other reviews, gave it one star, because it is plastic, and maybe at some point in history, they were make out of metal. Yes its plastic. Is it cheap and flimsy? Not by a long shot. Besides, these days, just about every showerhead is plastic, be it a very pricey Grohe or a top of the line Delta or Moen. Just because it is made out of plastic, doesn't make it cheap. Finally, I am keeping this handheld. This shower head has stronger spray than all but the last Waterpick (I would say they are on par). Where this Speakman wins is in its spray patterns. They are great. The nozzels overlap their spray so there is no hole in the middle. That's the best part...full coverage. It's nice from the back, and from the front. The spray is good enough to rince my hair, but I think I will be changing it to the massage setting if I need a deeper rince. I also like how this handheld looks. A little angular, a little edgy. Looks does count for something. So despite all the watersaving regulations, I finally have an enjoyable shower. Is it perfect? No, its not as firm as I had wished for, but it was an uphill climb and this Speakman won. I like it, and that is high praise :-)
