"Rain" is very pleasant, soft and full. This is pure luxury!
The individual spray modes are quite to be logs from each other. "Rain" is soft, "Rain O2" is still relatively soft. By this aeration spray mode is a bit louder and stronger. The "Bokoma Spray (tm)" I think by the circling water jet, ideal for shampooing and the "Jet" I use for precise cleaning, eg. For the area behind the ears However, one should as chokes the water supply, otherwise the beam is too strong.
Each spray mode is kombinibar. For me, the combination makes the "Bokoma Spray" and "Jet" most sense when shampooing. Especially when dyeing hair seems to me this combination especially useful to flush the paint completely and quickly out of the hair. However, there also arises the strongest jet of water, I like it just fine.
As proper massage I would "Bokoma Spray" not designate more than pleasant. The "Jet" is there something more focused and the beam stronger.
By handling I have no problems.
Total of the shower head is not very quiet, no spray mode. Correct annoying I do not think that's however. Visually, the hand shower is a highlight which does not affect plump despite the size.
Important are the care instructions. The piece is not abrasive detergents (actually clear), but not be cleaned with vinegar cleaners. Soap and regular drying is recommended. That's what I'm going to keep me. Microfiber cloth and a gentle (grease) soap are as my method of choice.

+ Spray modes can be combined
+ "Rain" is a soft spray mode, due to the large diameter yet fed and full, and thus a real treat
+ Easy handling
+ Targeted clean difficult to reach areas (eg behind the ears)
+ Elegant design
o "Bokoma Spray" is pleasant, but for me no proper massage
o not completely silent
- High price
- For me lacks a "water saving"
Conclusion: body and hair are really freed quickly and very thoroughly of soap / shower gel and shampoo. The spray patterns can be combined and the handling easy. The spray patterns are all angnehm but "Rain" is at its best. However, I will alternate the shower head with Grohe 27946000 Vitalio Start 100 hand shower, 2 spray modes, as this water-saving shower head is. With regard to the durability, I can not say anything and adjust where appropriate to my rating. But so far I have had good experiences with all products of the company. For me, the hand shower is a wonderful piece of wellness, I do not want to miss.
