Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Because it is made out of metal and not plastic, you’re getting a more durable shower head which is backed with a lifetime guarantee, so you can rest assured that your shower head will work great and look fantastic for years to come.
The Moen Velocity features a large, round body that will provide ample coverage to make you feel like you're in a controlled storm.
Uses stainless steel coated with brushed nickel to enhance durability and corrosion resistance.
There are two spray settings. The first is an even “rain shower” effect, and the second is a more focused, intense spray. The Velocity uses a full 8” spray head with 100 spray channels.

What reviewers didn't like

A separate extender arm may need to be purchased to get the full effect of this shower. It is more expensive than many other rain fall shower heads.
A bit more expensive than the other brands.
It’s heavy. At nearly 4 pounds, you’ll want to make sure you’ll have appropriate flange arms and brackets to hold this one in place.
