Speakman VS-233011-BN Chelsea Anystream 2-Way Shower Combination, 2.5 GPM, Brushed Nickel

Overall I am happy with this purchase. I was looking for an affordable option from Speaksman. I have had a few hotel rooms and they always had this brand. The water pressure is great, (I did remove the rubber ring that restricts water flow as other comments advised) even in my apartment that has low water pressure. I do wish it had a few more settings but again affordability was my top concern when I purchased this item. I typically have it set in between the message setting and the normal spray setting to get the best of both worlds. I would definitely recommend.

Great water pressure, simple adjustability (massage stream, normal flow, or halfway in between).4 stars because something about the design causes it to dribble some water straight down. I guess I already feel a little guilty about how much water this thing pumps out that wasting any feels extra offensive.

We are in a low pressure area and this shower head works great! I look forward to showering again.

I have had many Speakman anystream shower heads in the past (basic hotel models). After remodeling my shower I wanted to upgrade to a 2 way system. The unit itself comes in separate boxes (within one box) with separate directions. After carefully laying out each piece, I put plumbing tape on every thread, assembled it and then attached it to the shower arm. The unit comes with a piece that allows for the handheld only for some reason and the directions are shoddy.Once attaching the piece to the shower arm I then attached the handheld unit and experienced the gushing of water another reviewer posted at the handheld to base joint. I then recalled seeing a small rubber gasket in the hand held bag. I took a look at the directions and didn't see anything regarding this small gasket. To make a long story short the gasket lies right on top of the connector that screws into the base joint. Once you do that...no more gushing water.The difference in price from Chrome to Brushed Nickel is fairly ridiculous but there was no sense in skimping.While I have removed restrictor pieces in the past I did not do it this time with this unit and the pressure if just fine. The shower head works great with no leaks so far. The handheld unit has a nice long hose and the pressure is good. I even like the spray pattern and I believe it feels better than my previous Anystream. The whole unit is fairly big and when combined with an Aquabliss its got some hang...thankfully when I redid the bathroom I moved the shower arm up the wall a good 18 inches so at 6 feet tall I can still fit under this head. Overall a good buy and satisfied.

I moved into a new place and had to replace my showerhead. I typically err on the side of fire hydrant pressure when it comes to showering, but upon looking on Reddit, they suggested this brand. When I received it, one of the pieces I had was bent, so I just reached out to the manufacturer and they were able to send a replacement. It is nice to have two streams, and it makes me enjoy showering.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I got a good deal with Amazon Warehouse; the packaging was nice and I received a virtually brand new Speakman shower head combo. Pressure is good and quality is good.However, the installation process is a bit tricky. The shower head came in three separate boxes: the main shower head, the connectors, and the removable shower head. There are separate instructions for the removable shower head and the main shower head. The instructions do not indicate that they are separate documents. So, I started installing the main shower head only to realize the piece I placed onto the shower head arm was only if you were going to use the main shower head by itself. There is another connector that has the main shower head holder and the holder for the removable shower head. This was a minor annoyance. However, After I got that square away I had leaks coming out several places. I had to really tighten the shower heads. Also make sure to put plenty of Teflon tape. Also, I am not able to get the shower head lined up. SO i'm pretty frustrated there, I am going to work on this later today when I get home, but I wanted to write this for any person who purchases this is aware. Also, make sure you do not lose the little screw in the packaging. You need that or else there will be a massive leak, you'll see what I mean.

This is just a metal colored hunk of plastic junk. I own one of their solid metal shower heads and I expected so much more from Speakman. This is just your basic low quality plastic shower head. If you were expecting metal, or high quality because it’s Speakman, don’t buy this.

Very easy to install. Easy to use, operate while in the shower. The hose is long enough to give my dog a bath.

Excelente pieza, y elegante.

Nice package. Improves pressure. Only two stream options. Handheld unit looks cheap because the plastic body seems don’t line up. Would be five stars except I expected a little more variance in the stream options and a higher quality looking and feeling piece. Thought there would be more metal, all plastic right down to the diverter. Only steel is where it connects to exhausting water line. The holder on the diverter for the handheld is almost impossible to adjust angel. Instructions show to loosen screw to adjust, however when I removed the rubber grinder to uncover the screw, it wasn’t there. All plastic and non adjustable.. happy enough with pressure increase to keep unit.

Even though it’s plastic once you get water in there it has a nice heft and I enjoy the two wide and narrow spray patterns. Doesn’t leak like my other one which was twice as expensive!

Pros: great stream, lots of pressure, looks good.Cons: the hose is cheap and is just shiny plastic made to look metal (the whole thing is plastic, but the shower head seems well made), the shower head is oddly weighted making it somewhat hard to hold.

Highly recommended this product.
