Is the handheld shower plastic?

Yes, it is. But it is made very well. I had that same shower in my other house before and it lasted a long time. Although, the life of all of these fixtures depends on how hard the water in your house really is.

Yes it is platstic. It is lightweight but doesn't feel cheap. Def not brass.

The entire fixture is made of plastic. I know because I had to take mine apart to figure out why the diverter stopped working. I found that the switch mechanism is plastic and is cracked. Now we can only use the hand-held shower head. You get what you pay for (if you're lucky). A metal shower head is going to cost a lot more.

it is metal. the shower head is turnable on the cord but the cord stays stiff. Took a couple months and now it is more pliable - and I like it a lot.

I believe it's plastic but there may be some metal parts, too. Not to worry. It's a great showerhead.

It feels like plastic by weight but it's sturdy. I've used it for awhile now and haven't had any leakage problems. I love this showerhead!

I'm sorry for being so long in answering your question. No the handheld part of the shower doesn't move, however because of the great stainless tubing, you can turn it easily in any way you wish. I purchased mine just for that reason. The one I had before had a stiff plastic water tubing and I had water going everywhere. I really like this shower head and would purchase it again.

No it's not. It's a regular shower hose that happens to be longer than what is available in the stores. I love it! It works wonderfuller and it has the brass, not plastic connection which means no cracking. Good luck!

It is made of plastic. I do NOT recommend it. the suction cup works great but the part that holds the shower head spins around and drops the shower head.

No, it is plastic. Pretty sturdy, but the mist is more like a squirt, unfortunately,

i use the handheld way as i cannot stand and the hose is a great metal hose that hangs nicely. my daughter uses the device as a regular shower and has not complained what so ever about it. she was having to use my rubber hand held until i got this one. i love it and hope this helps you in your decision.

This unit has screws to attach to the wall, not suction cup. The shower head has plastic. but not sure of lots of plastic. its been 4 months since we installed and no issues so far. its working great.

I had no problem installing the handheld shower. The pipe for the shower water source is standard and required no modification.

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

It is not. It is a silver finished plastic. My purchase was not a good experience. The product leaked continually and I did report to the seller who did not respond. It was poorly packed. Bought ahead of time for a large shower, so first use was a couple months after purchase. Bah humbug. Trashed it. No choice. That's not to say it will always be the case for a purchaser from this seller. But I was not happy with the seller from whom I purchased.

I just got it last week, so i have not put it up yet. I will save this email and let you know. hope to put it up this weekend. I can tell you ok, just installed it! it is plastic, but most shower heads are. The shower arm bracket works fine. Good mobility.

Yes it is plastic, but a sturdy plastic handle. Not one you would break easily. I believe the solid brass diverter valve is on the inside of the unit. It is a sturdy unit and I like it. My sister who is handicapped has no problem using it.

Yes, the valve is included and it is the same finish. No plastic parts; all very sturdy brushed nickel including the hose from shower head to handheld. We have been using this now for over a month since finishing the bathroom, and we are VERY happy with this product!
