American Standard Easy Clean 8888 Showerhead Review

The American Standard Easy Clean 8888 is a basic single full spray pattern head very similar to the NRG shower heads as seen below.

One nice thing about this unit is that the showerhead face screws off allowing access to clean the inside of the showerhead easily.  

Also of note, this unit ships with a quality shower arm and flange.

This unit displays typical high peformance of this category, slightly trumped by the Delta Touch Cleans larger spray width with 10 more jets of smaller diameter.  Build quality is a bit better than the NRG shower heads, and the extras bundled and the easy clean feature make this one slighly better value than the NRG 2.0.

Please note the flow restrictor should be immediately removed from this unit.  Easily done by a screwdriver, unscrewing the plastic restrictor plate out the back of the threaded pipe mount.

These comments are about the showerhead performance after removing the Flow Restrictor.  

Skip it, in favor of the Delta Touch Clean if not something better.
