#Moen engage handheld showerhead with magnetix review install
Moen’s Magnetix Attract shower head is everything you need in an affordable shower head: good spray patterns, easy to install and WaterSense-compliant.(Even without thread tape!) As mentioned above, we prefer using a wrench for installation, but the Moen system worked well. Installation was easy, with rubber gaskets provided by the manufacturer that made all the joints leak-free when tightened by hand. We looked at a number of other magnetic-docking shower heads, and the Moen was the most economical while also being the easiest to use. You don’t need to look, or double-check if its seated in a cradle properly to prevent it from falling down: if it clicks in you’re done. The magnet may seem like a gimmick at first, but if you’re kneeling next to your tub bathing a child you might be able to detach and re-attach the hand sprayer from the magnetic dock without standing up - something that’s just not possible with the cradle-style retaining clips used by most handheld sprayers.Įven if you don’t have a child, re-attaching the shower head to its base, whether you’re soapy eyed or not is something we appreciate each time. Removing the head is easy, but it won’t fall off accidentally.Ī handheld shower is a flexible and powerful rinsing tool, and Moen solves all the biggest problems with a great magnetic dock. The magnet holds everything in place with just the right amount of force engagement is satisfying and positive but without enough impact that you’re worried about something breaking. The rotary selector works reliably even with wet hands and better than the other shower heads in this category.Īside from being a great shower head, the magnetic dock really made this handheld a pleasure to use. With good coverage and enough variety in the adjustable patterns to give the essentials (without getting into anything like pulsating jets) the Magnetix Attract made the most of its water-conserving 2.0 GPM flow rate.
