The Best Rain Shower Heads in 2024: 6 Rainfall Shower Heads to Try

Best Overall Rain Shower Head

Delta Single Wall Mount Fixed Rain Shower Head

ProsWater is evenly distributed across shower headEasily wipe off mineral residuePerfect rainfall water pressureQuick installConsDoes not include needed shower armPricierOnly one spray settingIf you truly want the best all-around rain shower head, just get this model from Delta. With more than ample coverage and an 8″ x 8″ surface area, this quick-install head can be easily added to your shower in less than 20 minutes. One of Delta’s best features is its patented Touch-Clean spray holes, which keep lime and mineral residue at bay.

With its soothing soft rain spray setting, this actually feels like you’re outside during a relaxing summer’s rainfall. Even with its adequate water pressure of 2.0 GPM (Gallons Per Minute), this model utilizes Delta’s WaterSense functionality, which helps you save up to 20% more water than the industry standard. Add in three stunning finishes (we love the classic chrome finish), and you have the total rain shower head package.

Be aware, the one downside is this shower head does not come with an optimal shower arm bar, so you might need to pay an additional cost.

NearMoon Rain Shower Head

ProsBudget-friendly shower headDurable 304# stainless steelAmple water coverage and spray nozzlesComes in four finishesConsWater pressure may not be strong enoughOver time, water filter gasket may create a whining sound (similar to a tea kettle)Some reviewers question long term durabilityReviewers warn of rust, due to stainless steel compositionWhen you need to prioritize your budget, this sturdy stainless steel rain shower head from NearMoon is your money saver bet. Most other brands with a sub $20 price tag end up truly being made cheaper—most are cheap chrome plated plastic. This NearMoon head is made with durable 304 stainless steel.

This pick features excellent coverage due to its large 8″ diameter head, which is circular rather than square, and 90 water spray nozzles. It also has premium ball bearings, allowing each user to position it exactly where they desire their water. With a water-saving 1.8 GPM, most feel it provides enough pressure to get the job done.

DreamSpa Ultra-Luxury 9-Inch Square Rainfall Combo

ProsUnder $50121 tiny jets provide a luxe feel on the skinLong 5-foot hoseLarge 9-inch head designConsHandheld is not made of stainless steelInstall might take longer than expectedWhile rainfall shower heads offer the best for a relaxing spa-like shower, at times though, they still may lack the need for precise water placement, a.k.a. a handheld option or extension. For that dilemma, we present this dual combo from DreamSpa. With its 9-inch head design (that contains an impressive 121 jets), and a hose length of 5 feet with an impressive 5-inch handheld, this combo packs the ultimate versatility.

Another solid reason we love this shower head is its push-button water flow switch, which makes it super convenient to switch back and forth from rainfall to precise handheld water spray. We also commend its three water setting spray options, which ups its game even further. With its simple and quick installation and limited lifetime warranty, what’s not to love about this one?

Best Fixed Ceiling Mount

Kohler Honesty Ceiling Mount Fixed Shower Head

ProsOptimal ceiling mount shower headComes in two water usage modelsExcellent water pressure for even flow and coverageFinishes help prevent corrosionConsWill not work well unless you have a ceiling-mount plumbingExpensiveWall mounting is not ideal due to its oversized faceWhen you invest in Kohler products, you know you are getting a brand that goes above the industry standard. When you want a rain shower head, a pick that mounts to your ceiling is the literal definition of a waterfall-like shower experience—on this model, Kohler over-delivers. While other models may attach to the wall (surprise, this one mounts on the wall, also), a ceiling mount, like this one, ensures even users well above 6 feet tall can get the same experience.

With an impressive 2.5 GPM (it also comes in an eco-friendly 1.75 option) and an oversized 10-inch head, this one offers a more “drenching” rainfall experience, as opposed to a little sprinkle from other models. What else separates this one from other ceiling mounts? The MasterClean spray face resists hard water and mineral buildup, while the finishes that Kohler uses help prevent corrosion and tarnishing.

Hibbent All Metal 10” Filtered Rainfall Shower Head

Pros16 inch adjustable-height shower armOffers 180-degree of arc extensionDual handheld combo comes with a 6-foot hose20-stage water filtrationMade with 304# stainless steelConsSome reviewers note the locked position loses placement over timeSome question the water pressure on the rain headTends to potentially leak over timeThe problem with many showers, especially fixed ones, is that they are used by multiple users, namely families. And, more times than not, those individuals vary in a range of sizes. The solution? A height-adjustable shower head and a rain shower head to boot. The trick is to find a model that is durable enough to stay at said heights over time. Enter Hibbent and their all-metal rainfall shower head with handheld combo and their star feature: the 16″ adjustable arc extension arm.

Gone are the days when kids cannot use their parent’s showers. With a simple twist of a butterfly nut, the shower head moves up and down to a 180-degree tune, a total of 16 inches, while the shower head can swing back and forth and eventually be locked into the perfect position.

If that doesn’t sell you yet, its 10″ x 9″ waterfall head is beyond spacious, it has a nearly 6-foot-long handheld shower head with a hose that does not tangle, and it comes with a 20-stage water filter. Just give them your money already.

The easy install and quick-clean nozzles lets you remove limescale and mineral build up. While some may scoff at the price tag, this worthy investment takes your shower game to a whole different level.
