• Also available on Walmart, $28

This elegant rainfall shower head is a cult favorite with more than 31,000 reviews and a 4.7-star overall rating. It features 90 rubber jets that remove hard water deposits and it will take your low pressure shower and turn it into a spa-like experience. But you’ll also be wowed by its selection of six finishes like chrome, gold, matted black, and nickel, plus the fact that it takes just five minutes to install without a single tool.

According to one reviewer: “Our last rainfall shower head was elegant, but provided terrible water pressure. We figured we’d try something less expensive before biting the bullet on a more upscale shower head. We’re so glad we did! The water pressure is phenomenal and took me less than 2 minutes to install (including taking my old shower head off)! We have it setup directly overhead as a true rainfall shower head, and the pressure is purely therapeutic now... We love it! I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a small to medium sized rainfall shower head with great pressure!”

Don’t let its $10 price tag fool you — this low cost, high quality shower head boasts a 4.6-star overall rating after more than 3,000 reviewers have weighed in. Many reviews stated it delivered a powerful stream of water, even when low water pressure was an issue. Its adjustable head features six spray settings and rub-clean jets that make it easy to keep lime buildup at bay. The shower head pictured above comes in a chrome finish, but is also available in a brushed nickel or a oil-rubbed bronze finish for a few more dollars.

According to one reviewer: “I never expected this showerhead to transform my shower into such a great experience. Considering what it does, how it is manufactured, how it improves the water pressure, it is a must buy. Especially at this ridiculously low price. Wow!”

It’s also a very high quality product that lasts and lasts.”

Install this amplifying adjustable shower head in just minutes and begin to experience the intense, relaxing sensations of its H2O kinetic setting, which produces a wave pattern that can actually make you feel like you’re showering with more water, while not wasting any in the process. The shower head is designed to provide three times more coverage than traditional shower heads and has self-cleaning spray holes. Choose between a more powerful version of the setting or a gentle one.

According to one reviewer: “For high pressure shower heads, nothing beats this price/performance. It takes minutes to install (make sure to have your own plumbing tape) and will give you way more pressure than you'd think for how affordable it is. I actually giggled in excitement the first time I turned it on! The high setting feels like a hurricane! The low setting is gentler but still more pressure than a normal shower head. Plenty of swivel for angle adjustment as well. […] If you DON’T like high water pressure, stay away... but if you do you’re going to enjoy this!”

It’s the ultimate shower luxury: a waterfall massage shower head with a stream so wide and powerful that it covers your entire body and makes rinsing your hair a breeze instead of a chore.

This pick has a 4.5-star overall rating and more than 1,800 reviews.

According to one reviewer: “Shower in my new house had low pressure. Ordered this. Took out the flow restricter and I never want to get out of the shower. Going from little droplets that you literally had to take so long just to wet, wash, and rinse your hair, to a forceful stream has been bliss.”

One of the reasons some shower heads fail to deliver a powerful spray is because they can get easily clogged, especially if you have hard water. This antimicrobial model inhibits the growth of mild, mildew, and bacteria and has a flexible rubber design that can be easily cleaned so calcium and mineral deposits don’t accumulate. The 6-inch face covers a larger area for more effective rinsing and you can choose between six spray settings.

According to one reviewer: “This shower head is PERFECT, and it exceeded all my expectations. [...] It is very easy to install and it took me about 2 minutes to do it. It fits perfectly, with no issues, and no leaks. […] The water pressure is GREAT! My old shower head was barely letting water flowing through. This is like a paradise, I love the rain setting option.”
