Speakman Icon 6-Jet Shower Head (S-2252-1) review

The Speakman Icon S-2252-1 is the all brass option for buyers who care about finish choice. Speakman lists it in Polished Chrome, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel and Aged Brass, with 1.75, 2.0 or 2.5 gpm flow. The head has six precision jets and Speakman names Gentle Rain and Drenching Full Flood among its spray types, with self-cleaning nozzles and a 2.8 inch face. It can mount on a shower arm or the wall, and Speakman gives it a limited lifetime consumer warranty. Speakman's page loads the price only after a finish and flow rate are chosen, so we could not verify a USD price and scored value conservatively. Trade-offs: the face is small, and installation needs an adjustable wrench and Teflon tape. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run spray tests.
