Delta Touch Clean RP38357 Review

This unit is interesting because it has 42 jet nozzles, whereas the others here in this category all have 32.  Gonna put my theory that less jets = more stream force to the test.  This one also has a wider spray pattern than the American Standard Easy Clean and NRG 2.0 gpm.

Update:

It seems that the pressure is both a function of the number of nozzles but also the size of the individual jets from the nozzles.  The Delta Touch Clean here has slightly smaller jets than any of the others in this category of showerheads (except for the HighPressureShowerheads.com Supreme and Grohe Relexa)...so even though it has 10 more jets, it maintains the similar strength in the spray force.  But not only that, but it also has a wider spray pattern than most of these others in the category.  Even significantly larger than the HighPressureShowerHeads.com Supreme, which has a slight advantage in that department over the others in this category.  On top of that it doesnt significantly suffer from the donut hole that other categories like the Kingston Brass K131A and Niagara Earth Massage suffer from (though it does have a very small donut hole that isnt very significant even for shorter shower takers).  The HighPressureShowerHeads.com Supreme and Kingston Brass both have superior spray force, but both have smaller individual jet streams as well and fewer individual jet streams.   All in all, I think the Delta Touch Clean is a very good compromise design, beating all the other second fiddles in this category...and may even be preferred by many over the HPSH.com Supreme, especially if your water pressure is even modestly better than mine.   This whole category of showerheads is filled with good performers...and this one differentiates itself from the pack.
