11 Modern Rain Shower Heads – Make it Rain in 2024

This Somov World product is one of the best rainfall shower heads available in the market. The product has a very elegant chrome-plated finish and delivers everything it promises.

Our research show that this product gives out excellent performance levels at the desired water pressure level. It even comes with a detachable water restrictor that enhances the user’s experience by giving out a super powerful flow of water through its tiny, anti-clogging and self-cleaning nozzles that prevent lime and hard water deposits.

The best part… 

We love how easy it is to install this shower head! It quickly connects to any standard shower arm without any need for additional tools. You also get a roll of Teflon tape as a bonus with this product.

Features:

• Rainfall shower head
• Removable water restrictor
• Self-cleaning nozzles: 90 Powered Anti-Clogging Silicone Jets
• Easy tool-free installation

The S6320 has a classy chrome finish that complements pretty much every bathroom design. The unit is equipped with the Immersion technology which is a self-pressurizing system that continuously intensifies the flow of water to deliver a thorough rinse every time you shower.

All good things come with a price:

Yes, this product comes with a big price too. It’s very expensive compared to other rain shower heads, but it offers a lot of cool features to make up for it.

The product features two spray modes that offer a customized water flow. So you can conveniently switch between concentrated and rain rinse modes.

We found the 8-inch diameter of the S6320 rain shower head gives a water output of about 2.5 gallons per minute through its 100 tiny nozzles. Use it with this curved extension arm for an exhilarating, true rain-like experience!

Features:

• 8-inch shower head delivers expansive water coverage
• Immersion technology increases spray power for a thorough rinse
• Adjustable water flow lets you easily switch between concentrated and rain rinse modes
• Mirror-like chrome finish complements most bathroom styles
• Backed by Moen’s Limited Lifetime Warranty

This premium 12-inch rain shower head by Happy-li is a luxury product with a classic stainless steel 304 chrome finish that enhances the look of your bathroom. The ultra-thin unit comes with 196 high-pressure silicon nozzles.

This shower head is very easy to install with little or no need for any tools.

However:

The swivel ball of the unit has a drawback. It’s not easily adjustable and has a limited range of motion. This, however, can be overlooked considering the large 12-inch shower head’s spray is pretty hard to miss.

Here’s why we still love this one…

The unit comes with an effective shower filter that works as a regulator to restrict the water outflow to 2.5 gallons per minute. It also comes with 10 spare nozzles in case the original ones get damaged. We also appreciated how easy the nozzles are to clean.

This product doesn’t come with the installation arm and we found that the uniqueness of this shower head becomes a hiccup for many customers as they have to buy an external shower arm to make their product work.

Features:

• Best Shower Experience - covers all of your body and creates a remarkable refreshing sensation.
• Luxurious Shower - Elegant, large, square 12” by 12” plate, the perfect size.
• Elegant Design - Ultra Thin, 2 mm thick, extra shiny Mirror finish.
• Top Quality Materials - Stainless Steel 304 with polish chrome, highest rust resistance.
• High Pressure Stream - 196 of the best quality silicon nozzles, perfect stream and easy to clean.
• Easy To Install - Seconds to install, no need for any tools or Teflon tape
• Adjustable Connector - Strong and stable for any angle you like.

The S6345EP is a premium product that features Moen’s latest Immersion Technology. The product comes with a tiny lever that allows the user to choose from either a calming rain rinse function or a self–pressurized spray. It also meets EPA’s water sense criteria so the unit conserves water without sacrificing performance.

But that’s not all…

The shower head’s dimensions are 10.5 x 9.5 x 4.1 inches, and it comes in classic chrome colors. The unit has an output capacity of 2.0 gallons per minute that enhances the shower experience of the user, especially because of its gentle outflow.

A word of caution: 

Unfortunately, the product is difficult to fix with other shower head arms as Moen has a unique size of the attachment knob. Plus, it doesn’t come with an extension arm, which is disappointing since this shower head is relatively expensive.

However, you can always buy this external curved extension arm from Moen to make up for it!

Features:

• Chrome Finish: Highly reflective for a mirror-like look that works with any decorating style
• 8-1/2" Diameter Spray Head
• Advanced, self-pressurizing Moen Immersion Technology
• Two-function combination spray for more variety; concentrated rinse; full rain shower
• Meets EPA WaterSense (r) criteria to conserve water without sacrificing performance
• Limited lifetime warranty

The product is made of heavy-duty 304 Stainless Steel and has a 10-inch by 10-inch shower head. It has 100 equally distributed nozzles that give out superior water flow coverage. We feel that the elaborate design of the product makes it super easy to clean and maintain in the long run.

The product also features an extension arm so you can adjust the angle and height of the shower head. It has a 2-foot vertical movement range providing more than enough width to the use of the product and 180-degree adjustable solid brass ball joints.

The product is easy to install with little to no use of any particular tools and offers a limited time warranty.

But sadly…

The products extension arm isn't durable. The base of the product has to be secured with a lot of tapes and even then there have been a number of cases related to water leakage or damage to the unit.

The product is beautiful but is a disappointment when it comes to lasting performance.

Features:

• Heavy-duty 304 Stainless Steel Construction
• Giant 10” face with 100 nozzles for superior water flow coverage
• Easy to Clean Rub-Clean Jets
• Fashionable Ultra-Thin Square Design
• Solid Brass Ball Joint Nut for reliable connection
• High-polish Chrome Plated Finish
• Angle-adjustable
• Easy tool-free installation

Waterpik’s RPB-173 features the advanced OptiFLOW technology that offers a powerful shower experience even at low water pressures. The 6-inch round shower head comes with an adjustable designer arm that positions water flow directly overhead or at any desired angle easily.

Waterpik has been in the industry for a long time and has tried to cope with all sorts of new technologies to gain an edge over its competitors. The RPB-173 gives good performance compared to its price. It also has a nice chrome finish and gives a water output of 2.5 gallons per minute.

It is also compatible with most external shower arms.

The unit also features a flow restrictor but during testing we found that after the removal of the flow restrictor, the water hurled down so quickly that it actually worsened the shower experience.

Features:

• Advanced OptiFLOW technology for a high-pressure, full-body spray
• Adjustable designer arm positions water flow directly overhead or at an angle
• Creates a gentle drenching rainfall experience with full body spray coverage
• 6-Inch round shower head
• Lifetime warranty

The 10-inch Raindance S240 features a total of 180 no-clog silicone spray nozzles that put out about 2.5 gallons of water in a minute. The unit is available in chrome and brushed nickel finishes and can swivel up to 26 degrees in any direction.

This shower head features Hansgrohe’s AirPower technology that enriches the water with air resulting in a steady and softer flow of water droplets on the skin. However, we found that this feature defeats the actual purpose of the rain shower, which is a heavy outflow of water. Still, it’s a unique and exciting feature to some.

You can also upgrade your shower for a multi-outlet experience with Hansgrohe’s patented rough-in valve.

It also features the QuickClean anti-calcification function that prevents lime deposits and heavy droplets from clustering on the nozzles. The scale deposits are simply rubbed off.

Don’t get too happy, though: 

The Hansgrohe is a very expensive showerhead to own. Our reviews show that even a tiny flaw in the unit leaves a very bad impression on the customers. Due to its high price, its target market is not an average household, and conclusively, the product is naturally prone to a lot of criticism.

Features:

• Single spray mode: RainAir
• 180 No-clog silicone spray channels
• Generous 10” diameter
• Showerhead rotates 26 degrees in any direction
• 1/2” standard pipe connection
• Fully-finished matching metal spray face
• 5 GPM flow rate for thorough coverage

The RAIN16R is a large shower head that easily covers the full body for a nice shower. The unit, as the name suggests, literally makes it ‘rain’ with its large head and consumes a lot of water.

This 16-inch shower head is made of solid stainless steel that makes the unit sturdy and durable, but we found that the 2mm thick plate gave way as time passed which led to water leakage in the shower head after continued use. It also comes with 5 spare nozzles.

Enjoy this large showerhead to the fullest with a ceiling mounted shower arm for a closer-to-real-life rain experience.

Features:

• Brushed Stainless Steel Anti-Fingerprint Finish
• Round shape 16" in Diameter and only 2mm thick
• Features a swivel adapter which allows you to angle the shower head during use
• Clear rubber nozzles allow for easy cleaning if clogged. Comes with 5 replacement nozzles.

The S6340 is a single function showerhead that offers an advance, self-pressuring technology that channels water through the showerhead with an increased spray power for a thorough rinse. Moen has diversified its niche to aim at households that can’t afford its high-end premium products.

Let’s dig into the details:

The product features Moen’s Immersion Technology that considerably increases the water spray power and output. It also prevents water from clogging to the surface of the showerhead to ensure a steady stream of water flow throughout the shower. According to our research, the showerhead gives an output of 2.5 gallons per minute.

Although this product costs much less than Moen’s other showerheads, it can still seem slightly more expensive compared to some other brands. The good thing is, though, you get some cool features to make up for the price.

Features:

• 6" Diameter Spray Head for exceptional water coverage
• Advanced, Self–Pressurizing Technology: 3x higher spray power for a more thorough rinse
• One–function Full Spray
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

The RP52382 is a single-setting full body spray showerhead that matches the industry water output of 2.5 gallons per minute.

Here’s the deal with this one:

The product features a touch-clean spray face and a removable water flow regulator. However, our reviews show that the unit gives a weak pressure output of water even with the water regulator in place.

The Raincan perfectly complements the Rizu bath series by Delta. So if you are going to use one company for your next purchases, then Delta provides a lot of options to choose from. Whether you want to match the colors in your bathroom or buy an extendable arm to give the unit extra height, all can be done with the wide range available for customers.

Delta is a good company that pays particular attention to the quality of the products, but the RP52382 isn’t as sturdy as we would like it to be. Plus, it comes with a limited warranty that covers only parts and finish defects. That means when a problem does arise, you can’t really claim a replacement.

Features:

• Single-setting full body spray showerhead
• Features Touch-Clean spray face
• 5 GPM flow rate
• Lifetime limited warranty covers parts and finish defects
• Coordinates perfectly with the Rizu bath series

The Thunderhead 2.5 can come across as relatively expensive, considering it doesn’t have a lot of features. We find the product’s design beautiful and extremely effective in helping increase the output pressure of water. And the white color brings a modern touch to your bathroom.

The unit weighs in at 3.25 pounds with dimensions of 10.6 x 9.5 x 7.4 inches making it one of the conveniently large-sized shower heads in the market. Pair it up with this external shower arm for a full-fledged rain-like experience.

But, wait… 

The TH2.5 comes with an external water flow regulator that helps in decreasing the water consumption during the shower but our reviews show that the flow regulator leads to water leakage, which we believe is disappointing considering the price of the product.

Features:

• High pressure – up to 80 psi
• Self-cleaning mechanism due to high pressure
• External water flow regulator
