Amazon.com Product Description
Have an amazing shower experience with the Waterpik NSC-659 Charleston shower head. The Charleston has a classic old-world styling that is updated for today with smooth lines and a distinctive face design, and goes well with either traditional or contemporary bathroom decors. There is nothing old fashioned about the performance, however, as the Charleston offers six different modes, ranging from a gentle, full-body spray to a high-powered invigorating massage.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Pure Junk   August 9, 2008
The other reviewer for this thing has it right. The cradle that's supposed to hold the head is junk. Not only is it made cheaply but it really doesn't hold the handle. My shower is over my head so when I point it down the handle wants to fall out. I'll Even go a little further and say the sprayer itself is bad. I count 3 sprays at best, everything in between can be described as dribbling and leaking rather than spraying.


3 out of 5 stars Mixed bag   August 7, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The hand-held part of the shower is absolutely fantastic. Great pressure and the variation in settings is excellent. I have absolutely no problem with the actual hand-held shower bit.

That being said, the bracket that holds the hand-held shower and connects to the shower line in the wall is absolute junk. The connector is actually two parts: one that screws onto the existing line and creates a ball-type nub for the second bit to connect to and the second bit, which--when tightened--clamps down on the ball-type nub completing the connection.

The second bit is cheap plastic, plastic I have no problem with, but this stuff is light and flimsy to the point that I fear cracking it if I tighten it too much and therein lies the rub, so to speak. I do tighten it. Quite a bit. Regularly.

You see, the bracket that the hand-held shower is supposed to sit in is sort of a flat oval shape, which is a problem because the hand-held shower handle is round. Consequently, one has to apply a little force to get the round handled hand-held shower bit to sit in the cheap plastic flat oval shaped receptacle. The problem is that every time that cheap plastic flat oval shaped receptacle is moved--whether in trying to set the hand-held shower or adjusting the angle of the shower spray--the second bit of the connection loosens. Loose connections mean leaks...lots of different leaks, from high arching sprays to random dribblings.

If there were a way to connect the hand-held shower bit directly to the the shower line that comes out of the wall, I'd have given it 5 stars. As it stands 3 is pretty generous.




5 out of 5 stars Snazzy Shower Head   July 30, 2008
I'm still glad I bought it! It has power. Our water source is shallow well water so water pressure is not a guarantee. No matter, the water pick still packs a punch. We never thought we'd see pressure like that again. I can finally throw the "bath cup" away.
Thanks Waterpick for not going cheap-o. It's pretty too.
