I purchased this because my shower arm is too high and I wanted a hand-held shower that I could easily reach, and I didn't want something too small. It definitely works well for this purpose. I like the "hook" mechanism as opposed to the magnet in some other shower heads. I don't want to have to fight with a shower head every time I remove and then replace it in the bracket while taking a shower, and for this, I definitely like it. Is it worth the price? No, not really - I think it's overpriced. Water pressure is low. There may be a way to remove an embedded piece that restricts water flow but I was afraid to dig around and break something.
