I've owned two of these shower heads.  The first one lasted about 5 years before getting this second one.  It has absolutely awesome water pressure and if you keep it cleaned (hint, bend it down after each use) it will last years.  It also provides a really nice broad shower stream and somehow keeps the pressure up great.  There is something in the base that funnels the water ... it must be magic (or science) but either way it's great.

Another tip for cleaning this, which is very easy thanks to the bendable line, is to mix in a spray bottle equal parts White Vinegar and blue Dawn dish soap (HAS to be the blue Dawn; don't even bother with anything else).  Shake the bottle up real good and then spray the heck out of the shower head (and your entire shower if you want).  Leave it on for like 8 hours and then just turn on the water and wipe it off with a sponge.  Do this every 4-6 weeks and your shower head (and shower) will be sparkling clean without any bleach or lime away or any other crazy chemicals.
