Why you'll love it: You don’t have to choose between a mounted and handheld shower head when you have the 3-way 2-in-1 combo from Hydroluxe.
While there are plenty of convertible shower heads that combine the ease of a mounted shower head with the flexibility of a handheld unit, there aren’t quite as many options that actually offer you both at the same time. But the Hydroluxe Full-Chrome 24 Function Ultra-Luxury 3-way 2 in 1 Combo does just that.
A top seller on Amazon, this shower head allows you to choose from a total of 24 full and combined water flow patterns, turning your daily shower into a veritable choose your own adventure.
On the main shower head, you’ll find a little knob that will allow you to direct water to one or the other head, or if you’re ready to get pampered, to both. Of course, you can continue to adjust the knob throughout your shower, offering yourself different water and setting combinations.
The heads each come with five settings, which include Power Rain, Massage, Stay-Warm Mist, Water-saving Economy Rain, as well as a Pause function. And thanks to this shower unit’s large four-inch face, you’ll be getting powerful jets of water throughout your shower — and better still, from two heads.
Perhaps my favorite thing about this particular Hydroluxe offering is how easy it is to install. While some other shower heads purport to be DIY but are, in fact, meant only for expert installation, I found that the Hydroluxe lived up to its easy installation promise.
Indeed, that seems to be a common opinion on Amazon, where over 7,000 satisfied customers have given the shower head a 4.2 out of 5-star review. Most have noted that they were able to install the shower head in less than five minutes, and thanks to the included tape, you won’t have to worry about leaks or other drippage.
Despite the relatively low price of this shower head, the water pressure is still quite decent, particularly if you take the step of removing the flow control device. If you do elect to have water coming out of both heads simultaneously, you may experience a drop in pressure, though this is to be expected. — Lulu Chang
