At first I thought the showerhead was quite large, but in comparison to other rain heads, it is comparable.  I like the water pressure on the smaller part, but when both parts are turned on the pressure goes down.  After the first time using this, I was ready to give it up, but after giving it a few more days, I decided that I really liked it.  Even my family members have decided that they like the rain showerhead.  The rain feeling is quite relaxing!
