Waterpik LAT-569 Easy Select 5 Setting Handheld Shower Head Review

The Waterpik Easy Select 5 Setting Handheld Showerhead is a good choice for low water pressure.  All the settings are fully effected and strong.  

At first I was avoiding multi-setting massage type showerhead and handheld showerheads, but after the success with the Hansgrohe Croma (non-Eco Air version) E100 3 Jet, I decided to give some others a try.   Not all of them have been successes, for example the Waterpik Twin Turbo just doesnt get enough water flow and pressure to be effective at all settings in my shower.  But this does very well.  

Here is a video of the spray settings...

All of the settings are useful and or enjoyable.

The Full Rain Spray setting is high and low flow selectable.  And although I wish the high flow setting were a bit stronger in force and it doesnt drench as well as the Hansgrohe Croma Eco Air 3 Jet rain setting, it is acceptable and the lower setting is nice for doing a modified navy shower....saving (hot) water while still maintaining some comfort and warmth while shaving and lathering.  I wish the Power Spray and the Circular Massage were both a bit wider, but they are useful and usable as they are with nice force and thick streams of water.  The Circular Massage is very nice and provides good rinsing ability as does the Power Spray.  My favorite setting may be the Mist Spray.  It's not a great rinser (but not terrible), but you could do a full shower with just that setting.  

The Easy Select ring switch works with one hand and it's big knobs prevent slipping.   Easy to turn and with a positive click/indentation operation.

The mount is very intuitive and easy to install, pretty well designed, I say.  The plastic faux metal hose is kind of lame.  Build quality on the whole unit is fair.  The faux nickel finish is nice.  

I probably wont be using this as a handheld.  But one nice feature of this unit is the mount lifts the showerhead up a good bit.  A nice touch for tall people.  This also makes this a more downfiring affair than most showerheads.  Like a rainshower head type of overhead mount.  

Note: This thing was terrible with the flow restrictor left in.  I removed it.  This applies to all Waterpik showerheads.  They stink with the flow restrictor.  There are videos on Youtube to help with flow restrictor removal on Waterpick showerheads.

This one is going into the list of Top Performers for the final showdown.

There seems to be some question about this units long term durability based on Amazon reviews.
