Whether you’re completely renovating your bathroom or just need a quick, simple upgrade, don’t underestimate the power of a quality showerhead to turn everyday showers into a more luxurious experience. One of these great showerheads will likely work for your bathroom and showering preferences—from wide rainfall heads to two-in-one handheld designs. Some high-tech options can even add music or aromatherapy to your daily routine.
What to Know About Flow Rate & Water Pressure
Each of these showerheads is rated with a flow rate—typically between 1.5 to 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM)—but you should know that flow rate isn’t quite synonymous with water pressure. A showerhead with a lower flow rate will have more water efficiency, allowing you to save money on your next water bill. Some locations such as New York and Colorado even require a GPM of 2.0 or lower, and California’s standard is 1.8 GPM or less. Check your local regulation and keep in mind that lower flow rates can still have high water pressure.
If you know your bathroom already has issues with low water pressure, you might want to avoid a wide showerhead, often known as rain showerheads, because they distribute the same amount of water across a larger surface, causing you to feel less pressure. However, there are plenty of versatile showerheads listed here with multiple spray settings to accommodate varying pressures and people with varying preferences.
How We Selected These Showerheads
We researched eight expert sources such as Good Housekeeping, The Spruce, and Wirecutter, as well as consumer reviews from retail sites like Amazon, to select these top nine showerheads. We evaluated these showerheads on characteristics such as adjustability and spray settings, finish options, flow rate, and overall value.
