When we were trying to sell our house we were conscious that a few minor amendments could improve it's overall appearance significantly. Obviously, we didn't want to spend a fortune as we were hoping to not be around to have the benefits. One of the things that needed to be replaced was the showerhead in the shower room which was starting to look old and worn.

We purchased this shower head from Argos for the relatively cheap price of £2.99 - this was significantly cheaper than any other shower head that we had found which were all above £5. It is made of white plastic and was packaged in a simple polythene bag - giving a big hint that it was part of a 'value' range. I probably wouldn't have purchased if I was intending to use this a lot but it suited our needs perfectly - cleaning up the appearance of the shower whilst still being practical without costing a fortune.

The head just screws on to the shower hose so it is simple to attach. It has several holes in the head, as per any shower head, and these work well to filter the water through. Ours is a power shower and the head does allow a stream of water through at quite a decent strength. To the touch it is obviously a cheaply made head, with quite thin plastic but it does look better than it feels. It worked satisfactorily to improve the appearance of the room - it didn't look as cheap as the price would imply and certainly looked better than an old scaley head!

It is also easy to keep clean once in place and we have now had this in place for several months whilst we await our move (which inevitably took a lot longer than anticipated!) so we have had more use out of it than expected. It has lasted well with no cracking of the plastic (which I had worried may be the case) and I can have no complaints - it does the job adequately. For the price, this has been a very good purchase!
