From a coolness perspective, 5 stars. From an water pressure / attenuation perspective,  1 to 2 stars. Prior to this device,  my other shower head could power wash your deck. This device, by comparison, is like being drizzled on. I just wish I'd had known this. I'm stuck with it now, bc the wall is designed only for this product. Update: steer clear of this product. The paint is not powder coated and is peeling everywhere. I asked for a brushed nickel replacement, they said they could not, so they sent another black one. I guess I can swap it out when I sell the house. I can't say I'd buy Vigo again.
