Purchased this to replace our existing Kohler shower head that was getting very difficult to clean. Love the look of it and quality is good. The water stream is much more forceful than the last one and the water droplets are noticeable bigger and feel as if you are standing in the rain or beneath a waterfall (not in a bad way). I knocked off 1 star because as others have stated, it is quite loud. Note that you may need plumbers tape to avoid a leak at the connection when installing.
