Pros: Incredible pressure and spray, very inexpensive!!!
Cons: wow...took me a whole 30 seconds to install. I would have preferred 25 seconds
The Bottom Line: This performs better than most shower heads I've seen at $30 but you have to like a mist spray as opposed to streams of water. We love it!

| krus54's Full Review: The Incredible Head Power Showerhead |
Hope my review title grabbed your attention!
The shower head in my kid's bathroom needed replacing and I took a ride to Lowe's looking for a new one. While browsing through the selection I noticed a box on the bottom shelf with these little shower heads. The package said, "The Incredible Head" and price was $4.98. I thought, 'yeah, right! A good shower head for five bucks? No WAY, Jose.' But I thought I'd give it a try and also pick up a more expensive one that I was sure would be more suitable. I could always return the one I didn't like.
Installing this thing was one of the most difficult plumbing jobs I have ever encountered. Ok, pay VERY close attention: Unscrew old shower head. (took me all of about 15 seconds). Open up the package for the new one (5 seconds). Make sure shower arm threads are clean (0 seconds--I didn't do), HAND tighten Incredible head until the nut coupling is snug (oh man, this step must have taken me about 10 seconds...I was sweating by the time I was finished). Oh...the package said that if you have a ball end shower arm you should use the Incredible Headaptor which is sold separately, but which I did NOT need.
Size doesn't matter! This little one inch wonder is, um, 1 inch long and 1 inch in diameter. The spray is released from 10 small holes. It is not a rain type spray but a very, .... uh very strong mist that feels incredible on the body (guess that's one reason they call it the Incredible Head).
The package says that this is a energy and water saving power showerhead.
--Enjoy all the force of an ordinary shower with all the savings of a low flow showerhead. Feels like tons of water!--. I will absolutely attest to this.
-- Made of solid brass
-- Flows at 2.5 GPM
We have normal water pressure so I can't attest to how well it performs when you have low water pressure, but I will say that the kids fought for a week over who was going to get in the shower first because they liked the spray so much. But ** I ** was the FIRST one to try it out the next day! I already have a shower head in my bathroom that I have been using for years that I really like (and which is no longer being sold), but when it needs replacing, THIS is the one I'm getting.
