Winner - #53 - Sheryl
Right after we obtained the keys to our house, our journey of fixing this
place up began. We began by ripping up carpet, caulking, and readying the house for new paint. As we created mini havoc in our new house, we began to see much needed repairs and things that really needed to go.
Enter our showerhead! I really do not know how old it was but it was DISGUSTING. I almost didn't want to take a shower because it was gross and nasty. There was mold and calcium build up from the bad water our town has. My dad estimates that the showerhead was maybe 5 years old and that is our thought also because the rest of it doesn't look that bad.
It was a shame to see a showerhead not last long but you can tell the quality of the showerhead by how long it lasts. When we had the chance to review the Moen Velocity Rainshower Showerhead, we were definitely excited. I am a huge fan of Moen products because of their durability, great quality, and more and more Moen is devoted to making their products eco-friendly. Being eco-friendly isn't just good for the environment but can save a household quite a bit of money.
My husband was able to install this showerhead in less than 5 minutes and it was super easy. The first thing I noticed was how large this showerhead is. When I picked it up out of the box, it wasn't one you could hold with one hand – you had to have two hands holding it. It is huge! I also noticed how pretty this showerhead looked. We received the chrome one and the only thing I didn't like was how easy my fingerprints smudged it up. Since it is in the shower though, I don't see this being a big deal.
Now installed, this showerhead is amazing! If I ever move from this house, this showerhead is coming with me. I know that sounds funny but this showerhead is phenomenal. It's spray power is great considering it is a rainshower and some of those can have terrible spray power. It also covers your entire body with water because of how large the showerhead is. It is 8 inches in diameter!
Another huge plus about this showerhead is that it uses less water than other one. We noticed this immediately because now instead of one shower on our hot water tank, we can now get two showers. This showerhead is already conserving water for us which is saving us money.
The showerhead has been installed for two months now and not a single bit of the water build-up and other nasty stuff that we saw on the other showerhead is evident. We love this showerhead and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to put good quality showerheads in their homes. My dad has owned apartments for well twenty years now and when he remodels an apartment, the only brand of faucets, showerheads, or any type of hardware of that kind that he will use is Moen.
The only drawback to the Moen brand is the cost but if you are looking for long-lasting – that alone will cover the cost. Their motto is "Buy it for looks, buy it for life" and they truly stand behind that!
Win It!!
Moen has generously offered to give one of my readers their own Moen Velocity Rainshower Showerhead (ARV $194)!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 442 Newer› Newest»Great timing! I'm working on ripping out the moldy portion of wall above the shower and will be replacing it with shiny, new, mold resistant tile! Perfect time for a shiny new shower head! Thanks!
BATHROOM BATHROOM BATHROOM! UGH!!! Aside from the wonderful faucets and showerheads, I especially like the double towel bars. They would be great space savers in that small area.

Our main shower is in desperate need of a new showerhead. The current one is plastic and cracked!
I would love to change all the faucets and showerheads and door knobs into an oil rubbed bronze (which Moen carries!), but that's too costly. My next splurge will be on a kitchen sink faucet for better cleaning!

Our master bathroom needs the biggest fixer upper. We left a candle burning too long in there, and we completely scorched the countertop. We need to replace it before we sell the house. A new showerhead would be awesome. When we do move, we'd definitely take this Moen one with us and leave the old one here. :-)

I need to fix up the bathroom - this would start...we just had our mirror fall off the wall - did a good amount of damage to wall and floor.
We are remodeling our kitchen and bathroom this year and I'd love the Moen Extensa Pull-Down faucet for my new kitchen sink. We can't afford to replace the cabinets yet but we are getting a new counter and sink and that faucet is exactly what I'm looking for. That showerhead would go great in my bathroom with my clawfoot bathtub, too.

Right now the focus is on the master bedroom, but soon enough it will be the bath
Hello, the area I'm trying to fix-up/finish is the master bath. We put an addition on 15 years ago and never really finished it. Now it needs new paint and the shower head was the cheapest one we could find at the time. Moen's shower head would be a great addition. Thanks for a great giveaway!

we have only one bathroom in our rental condo - but would love to redo the shower with this. hope you don't discriminate against renters - my husband contracts to the military so we can move every few years - this last time with little notice.
My kitchen sink area needs lots of help and a beautiful Moen fixtures would help.
Definitely the lower (basement) level of our home needs some attention. When we purchased the home it already had a curtained-off shower area - but I'm thinking the showerhead came off somebody's ark! ;)
