    At matter of personal opinion.. but I think two shower heads, one on top of each looks horrendous.. like its a mistake by a dodgy diy'er.

    I'd go for the rain shower by itself ;)

    Yes. We will be going for single, simple. It's not our first rental property ;)

    I have one and hate it for all the reasons listed above. I hate having a wet face and getting my hair wet when I'm not washing it and shower caps just aren't that effective. Not enough water pressure and not directional and can't move it up and down as I like the actual shower head to be level with my head.

    I had one of these in my old PPOR and loved it - suited both my husband and I but having one in our current ppor has been veto'd as it's too cheap for our ensuite :(

    Agree with this. We went these ones Buy the Vivid Twin Shower at The Blue Space. (did not pay anywhere near that though). Main reasons were for ease of cleaning the shower area with the hand held head and also that the wife doesn't want her hair wet every time she has a shower. Very happy with the product.

    Looks nice! Perhaps not for a lower end rental though.

    In our recent reno we did a rainwater shower head coming down directly from the ceiling, and added a handheld shower on the wall for those times you don't want your hair wet, shaving legs, washing the cat (!) and so on.

    We love it.

    Yep have one. Use it maybe 3x year, just for the novelty value.. as others have said, not enough water pressure. We use the hand-held instead.

    Low-end rental, means it's hard to beat the old brasshards head. (I love them too)

    Hmm. Good points. We are trying to create chic on a budget so rainheads fit the bill.

    Can they not be adjusted so the go a bit sideways?

    So, like with this one, can I tilt the head so I don't wet my hair? or does it just tilt back the and shower is vertical again?

    That's similar to what we have and the head tilts fractionally but because there's bugger all water pressure the water still droops down with not much arc to it.

    We use ones similar to this for Clarkson.

    It only had the smaller head but it seems to work well and cater for those who don't want the drenched head and has the bonus removable head so you can clean down the walls of the shower.

    It's nice as it has the soap dish too

    We used this for our outdoor shower and we LOVE it. The hand held bit is great for sandy feet.

    Will probably use in in our ensuite as well.

    I just ordered 6 of these but in the square style (Rere) for Highgate. I think the twin shower is good for PPOR and high end - costs around $400.
