PSA: My plumber said my 'waterfall' shower head was a waste and I'm mad he was right

I installed a fancy waterfall shower head last year, thinking it looked amazing. My plumber, Mike, came over to fix something else and straight up said, 'That thing has zero pressure, you're just standing under a drizzle.' I argued but finally swapped it for a standard high-pressure head after a month of weak showers. The difference is insane, I actually feel clean now. Anyone else get talked out of a 'designer' bathroom feature that just didn't work?

I get the pressure thing, but honestly I love my waterfall head for just unwinding after a long day.

Saw a review that said those low pressure heads are a game changer for stress. Makes sense if you just want to relax and not get blasted.

What's a waterfall head?

Oh wow. You actually like the waterfall head? I tried one at a friend's house and it felt like I was standing under a leaky faucet. Like it barely got the soap out of my hair, I had to rinse like three times. Don't you feel like you're just... waiting forever? I'd be standing there getting cold while the water trickles down. But hey, if it works for you that's great. I just can't wrap my head around it.
