Product Reviews of Duro-Med Hand-Held Body Shower, White
Product Review: Water flow control is super easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to help bathe my toddler in the tub. I used to have a regular handheld showerhead, which was huge and bulky, and the flow was too strong for my child's delicate skin.
After looking all over the place for a decent, small showerhead with adjustable water flow, I finally thought to look under medical supplies.
The regular shower hand held shower heads are just too big, too much massage features, and the hose was a little too short.
So far I only found two types, the one with the button that you push in the side of the handle to turn down the water, which many say is difficult to push sometimes, and this one, which is a thumb controlled dial on the back part of the showerhead part. It is super easy to control and turn on and off.
The water comes out like a good shower, a nice even spray, as the holes are I think three circles, so you get decent coverage. This is so much better than those big ones that only have one ring of holes.
The water flow adjuster, as I mentioned earlier is easy to use.
The head itself is small and compact and lightweight, just right for my toddler.
The hose is a bit longer, so it can reach areas that a shorter hose cannot, such as when my child is on the far end of the tub.
The packaging looks a little cheap, but the product itself seems decent.
It comes with a mount so you can hook it up for an actual shower. However, it is a wall mount with screws, so if you want to mount it to the actual shower part that sticks out the wall, you have to buy it separately. I just used the one I already had from the old hand held and it works okay.
I totally recommend this for anyone with a small child, or even disabled persons.
Product Review: You won't go wrong (for the price) if you get one that isn't broken
Summary: 3 Stars
The pluses for this thing are the price, the length of hose, the price, the flow control switch, and the price.
The minuses are that it's cheaply made (reasonable because it's cheap), it's a bit tough to maneuver because the hose is stiff, and min arrived with a crack that looked like a manufacturing issue and cause a small stream of water to spurt out the side.
Seeing the defect drove me back into Amazon to search for a replacement. If you don't mind spending a bit more I think there are better values to be had.
