Great for Travel
I put one of these on my Amazon wish list to replace my old one in case it ever dies on me. I bought mine probably 10 years ago from another website, and it cost a LOT more ($27.99, I think). I really don't like showers, but when traveling, especially in Mexico, bathtubs are few and far between. And even in a nice hotel bathtub, I like to have the handheld to wash my hair and rinse off.<br />The first few times I installed it in a hotel room, I was nervous that the maid would be upset, but, no, they LOVE it. It makes cleaning the shower or bathtub much easier for them.<br />I like the plastic hose: it's much lighter, and I think the TSA doesn't scrutinize it as much as they would a metal one.<br />I travel with a small pair of channel locks and Teflon tape. The channel locks are to remove sometimes badly stuck showerheads, not to tighten this unit. You want to finger tighten so as not to crack the plastic. And I use the Teflon tape everytime or it will leak.<br />I was very happy to find this on Amazon, as the hose on my old one is kinking from being coiled in my carryon. I'm worried that it might give up the ghost someday, so I'll pull the trigger on this one at that time.
