HansgroheVernis Blend 9-inch Rain Showerhead 1-Spray Full in Matte Black, 1.75 GPM, 26283671

We replaced an old shower head with this unit and really like it. It's a perfect size and works really well with our rubbed oil bronze fixtures. It gives a wide, pleasant spray that is very luxurious. Highly recommended.

Enjoy this product every day. It is well made, easy to install, and maintains good water pressure.

This showerhead made a hissing noise from the beginning, sort of annoying specially when I shower my son who is autistic and can detect any miniscule noises.I called Hansgrohe and they provided me with an alternative replacement, but one that was over 7 pounds, which my shower arm couldn't hold. I called Hansgrohe to try to get a different one but their reps (I talked to at least 3 of them) were indifferent and assured me the 7-pound shower head would be ok.I didn't install it; I believe the new shower head would work for a shower arm that is attached vertical to the wall (not a stand-alone arm coming off the wall). I feared it it fell on anyone's head, it would send us to the hospital; same on Hansgrohe for not training your reps to get the customers the right product.Regarding the Vernis Shower Head, it's a very light and awesome rainshower head. I just wished it hadn't come with the hissing noise, probably a defected product. I cleaned as the shower head, as per the manual and from instructions provided by Hansgrohe to no avail.Give a try but return right away if defected.

The angular adjustment is insufficient to achieve a true vertical cascade resulting in overspill outside of the enclosure.

Since enlarging our shower, we were looking for a better shower head with more area and better flow. We picked this one in the 2.5 gpm level. It was a perfect choice. The head is over 6 1/2 inches by 9 so you have a nice large flow area. The install is quick, not even needing teflon tape, it has a washer that seals it on the existing pipe. Our install is overhead but it would work fine at an angle since the flow from the nozzles is strong. The nozzles are silicon so if they do clog, simply wiping a finger across them usually works. If not, it will unscrew quickly for a better cleaning. We love this head and will probably replace out other shower head with the same or the round version. I do highly recommend this one and the price is very reasonable!
