I'm fine with putting more insulation on refrigerators, but low-flow showerheads are a serious disappointment in showering experience. I want to be hammered by that water, not misted.
I used to feel the same way, going as far as to drill out the flow restriction devices, but I found a shower head I actually like a few years back, a high Sierra brand one, and even it's lowest flow model feels powerful
I liked it so much I wrote a blog post about it

Thanks for sharing this. I really prefer the wider diameter nozzles as this style always just feels like a garden hose to me, but I might give it a try as I also have not been very happy with anything I've tried. Any reason you didn't do the long nut version?
These don't really feel like a garden hose, best comparable thing is the spray from a good impact or rotor sprinkler.
I didn't get the long nut because it wasn't an option when I bought them a few years ago haha
Yeah I'm still looking for something where I can close my eyes (as I often do) and feel like I'm in a tropical rainstorm. Right now have a wide head but it's more akin to 15 squirrels perched on a branch pissing on me.
I laughed way too hard at this. Mine and my wife's favorite shower head in a long time has been the Delta showerhead we got at Costco: https://www.costco.com/delta-h2okinetic-in2ition-5-setting-hand-shower.product.100763750.html
Very useful and customizations for each of us like being able to turn off the water during shampoo lathering or shaving and detaching it to rinse off.
