Being good to yourself is a great reason to buy a new showerhead. It can make getting clean fun and relaxing. "Intense pulsing spray is what people usually look for when shopping for a new showerhead," says Les Petrie, a certified kitchen and bath designer based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. "The massage function is great for stress relief, but a good showerhead should also offer a wide, even spray pattern for washing and rinsing off."

You'll find a wide price range when you're shopping.  You can spend over $100 for a model like Hansgrohe's Clubmaster. Its wide-spray, aerated-spray and massage settings click firmly into place on the large dial that surrounds the head -- a feature you'll appreciate if you don't like fussy adjustments. An attractive marriage of chrome and plastic, the Clubmaster even has a pleated rubber boot that covers the joint between the head and the shower arm.

Cheri Antozak, a certified kitchen and bath designer in Grandville, Michigan, likes the "trickle" setting you'll find on some showerheads and handheld showers. "The trickle adjustment restricts most of the flow," she explains. "I like to think of it as 'pausing' the water, so you can lather up your shampoo or shave your legs." 

If your doing a full bath remodel, you'll probably want to consider a full shower set that includes the showerhead, matching mixer valve and, if required, a tub spigot. Though more expensive, an integrated shower upgrade can really pump up the personality of your bathroom. Major manufacturers like Delta, Moen & Ondine have broad selections of shower sets. Prices range from less than $100 to more than $500.

"For a cost-effective upgrade, you'll have to buy a shower set with compatible components," explains Antozak. "For example, if your shower has separate hot and cold controls, you can't install a single mixing valve without making expensive changes in your plumbing and shower wall."

If you're looking at polished-brass and chrome fixtures, make sure to ask about the special protective coatings that are available on some product lines. "Delta's Brilliance and Moen's LifeShine are among the high-tech finishes I can recommend," Petrie says. "Neither of these finishes reacts to the minerals in your water or to cleaning agents. As a result, you get years of good looks instead of the usual tarnish and discoloration."
