Shower unit is massive. Unlike other wands this one does not move or pivot so you can only have the water in one place.  It's missing a bypass valve to allow hot water to flow faster.   If the wand hose came out of the side of the neck, the nozel would  move even more allowing some flexibility in water spray direction  The filter however does a great job of taking out the clorine. It has helped with my wife's skin condition and has improved everyone's shaving experiences.  It's also cut down on the residue on the shower glass.
