If you’re looking for the best rain shower head then today might just be your lucky day because this right here is all round rain shower head with robust build, clean design and an impressive efficiency level.

Also, the design is minimalistic which is what a lot of people are looking for and the head comes in 4 different colours.
In terms of efficiency, this shower head couldn’t get any simpler. The S6320 is a two-function rain shower with an 8 inches wide shower head and that is huge.

This HotelSpa is indeed a giant! Perhaps not as big of a giant as the previously reviewed shower head but definitely way up there. HotelSpa is a firmly grounded manufacturer in the industry of shower heads and it has probably invested in every different kind of shower heads by now. In our book, nothing indicates quality as much as an increase in demand and that’s something which this brand has managed to pull off so quickly. But, what about the Giant?

5 – Yodel Faucet 12″ Rain Shower Head
The hardest thing about creating rain shower head reviews is to be objective but it seems like every shower head makes you forget about the previous one and the Yodel is no exception. We might go as far as saying that this is the best rain shower head in the industry but at the end of the day, it all goes back to you.
This power shower head is definitely one of the best looking designs you’ll find out there and it all boils down to the sharp shape and the stainless chrome finish. Also, it is important to note that this unit harbours no plastic parts which makes it that much more robust and reliable and not to mention that it’s made entirely of stainless steel.
As far as functionality goes, it is crucial to note that the Yodel is 12 inches wide which is one hell of a rain shower experience. This is the kind of platform which will easily immerse your entire body under the endless flow of rain drops. Further, it is amazing how you can easily remove any of the nozzles manually to unclog it whenever and if ever that happens. So, wanna give it a shot?
6 – DreamSpa 9-Inch Rainfall Shower Head

Indeed, you might really desire that rain fall experience but trust me, sooner or later, you will wish you had a handheld unit nearby.
Initially, the first thing that catches your eye when looking at this model is the minimalistic design and the clean chrome finish. This indeed, is one of the few luxuries that most of us can still savour because there is nothing that feels better than a simple shower head with a simple installation process and simple functionality.
Speaking of which, in terms of functionality, this unit is no different to any of the previously reviewed shower heads on this list. In fact, the only difference might be that the DreamSpa is slightly smaller than the others. At 9 inches however, you are not going to be missing on much since you can still achieve the exact same immersive experience with a little less water wasted. All in all, this is a solid combo shower which definitely deserves a loving home.
7 – Pulse 1019 Aqua Rain Shower head
There is a little bit of a difference between every shower head we reviewed already and this one. Alright, we lied, there is a huge difference between the Pulse 1019 and your standard rain shower head and mainly in design.
There is no other word to describe this shower better than vintage because that’s what it really is. The 1019 is not just an oddly shaped shower head, it’s actually a properly designed unit with a neat look and solid efficiency. However, before we get to that, we need to take a moment to appreciate the chrome finish which will make the whole thing stand out nicely in most bathrooms.
If you’re still reading this then you mostly likely enjoy what you’re looking at and would like to know more about the functionality of this shower. Well, you came to the right place because although it looks different from the rest, this Pulse isn’t that different as to what it has to offer.
Well, it’s clearly a combo shower which means that it comes with a large overhead shower head + a hand shower for those tactical missions. Of course, you can further use the shower hand to clean your toddler, pet and eventually the bathing area. It is critical to know that the Pulse 1019 features a 2.5 GPM flow rate which signifies that you can use both elements simultaneously at full burst without a single worry. The stream won’t get weak and nor would your wallet. So, what do you think?
