Good, basic, hand-held shower head January 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Waterpik TRS 553 is a good, basic, hand-held showerhead. It has three basic spray patterns that can be combined for a total of 5. The basic 3 settings are high dispersion (good for making steam), high velocity flow (good for general showering), and soft massage or pulse. Major drawbacks: there is no way to control the flow of water or to go into a low flow mode to save water (the default setting is low water flow, but some shower heads have a setting that slows the flow to a trickle). The hose is very stiff and makes the shower head hard to position. If you want a powerful massaging showerhead, this is not what you are looking for, but as a basic appliance, it works well and seems reasonably well built.
 Works as Described January 17, 2008
This item works as described and I'm glad I purchased it.
I removed the flow restrictor as explained in the accompanying directions, and the water pressure increased and is quite stiff.
I'd recommend this item to increase the water pressure of your shower.
Just what I needed, but never knew before - Fat people rejoice! (= January 17, 2008

We just moved into a new home with water-saving showerheads that made showering feel like an assault with needles, so we were very excited to try something different. I selected this model after seeing that the flow regulator was easy to remove since the water pressure where we live isn't optimal.
In terms of water flow, we went from famine to feast. The water comes out so much better with this showerhead and without the flow regulator in place that I may actually try replacing it for a while. The multiple settings are nice, but as others have said, the massage is weak at best. I don't have any problems with the misting setting, however, and will probably use just one setting most of the time anyway.
I wish I would have purchased one of these years ago, as the handheld feature is just what I've always needed but never knew it. For an overweight person, like me, normal showers don't always get the job done when your stomach acts like an umbrella -- with this I can rinse my legs (and more!) again with confidence!
The showerhead is plastic, though the brushed nickel looks nice and it doesn't feel as cheap as I expected. A pair of needlenose pliers made quick work of removing the flow regulator, and installation was a snap once we wrestled the old showerhead off.
Less than 12 hours after receiving this I'm ordering another one for our daughter's bathroom! This was the best shower I've had in over a year, and that includes Caesar's Palace :) I doubt I will, but even if I needed to replace this 2 or 3 times a year, it would still be well worth the cost!
Excellent showerhead at a good price January 9, 2008

I gave this as a gift. The recipient loved it, once it had been adjusted for maximum force. "Best shower in years!"
The hardest thing about the installation was uninstalling the old showerhead, which was ______. (Picture using a large wrench over your head and not knowing whether that turning motion is the removing of the old showerhead or the destruction -- in place --of it.)
Recommended product. By the way, this product, which is plastic, worked every bit as well as our previous metal one.
 So-So January 8, 2008

The pressure isn't that great and the diameter is small so the water spray isn't that great. Also, the mist setting shoots out over everything, literally sideways (I'd like to know how one would be standing there) and soaks everything. But, for the price, it's adequate.
