Review:
Beam characteristics:
Water seems air-mixed and jetted far higher than conventional multi-mode heads in pressured setting (like 50% better in my own tests) while keeps the same width/diameter, but the beam is very soft and weak in cleansing power. It's also unlike the extreme high-pressurized types which either shoot single large beam or narrow beams which spread out like umbrella - both are only useful at cleansing but not comfortable bathing.
Pros:
- Saves water, up to 30%
- Comfortable for bathing
- Chlorine reduction
- Adds Vitamin C into water
- Smells great due to the essential oil in filter
Cons:
- No switch / different mode (the premium version does but it's far weaker in jetting capacity)
- Water is not pressured enough for serious cleansing
- Difficult to grab due to lack of curved shape
- Very expensive for a shower head; plus additional periodic cost for refill filter.
- Cannot be used for other purpose due to weak water beam and oil in filter
Refilling:
The Aroma filter/oil-cartage needs to be replaced every 6000L according to official spec. But in my own test, showering 19 times * 30 min * no more than 5L/min (= less than 2850L totally) have reduced my filter to 1/5 already! It seems their spec should list 3000L not 6,000L!
CAUTION: only 3 aroma/essential oil choices: lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil; lemon oil burns your skin under sunlight and the other two are highly toxic!
Conclusion:
If you have too much money or you need a gift, this one is worth it.
