When it comes to bathroom design, we are all about comfort and practicality, which is why we embarked on a mission to find the best dual showerhead on the market. Why not a traditional singular showerhead, you may be wondering? Well, if we’re all about making our shower experience as easy and relaxing as possible, nothing beats a double-header. Each one serves a different purpose, making bathing much more efficient and enjoyable. Use the one docked to the wall for full-body showers that involve an in-depth hair wash, and use the smaller, handheld one for non-hair wash days without worrying about accidentally spraying your hairline.
All of the ones we picked are easy to install, include multiple spray settings, and more, so if you want to upgrade your shower, you can’t go wrong with any of these picks. The best part? While a few of them are hardly cheap, none of them are that expensive. In fact, the priciest pick is well under $500 and comes with tons of positive reviews. Go ahead and turn your bathroom into a spa in a matter of minutes. No matter which one you pick, you're bound to love it.
We're kicking off our list of the best dual shower heads with a pick that's both easy to install and use. It performs like any other dual head in that you can opt for the hand-held or the docked one, but what separates this one from the others is the PowerDrench spray setting, which offers three more water coverage than a standard shower head, courtesy of the specific wave pattern and larger water droplets. "I picked up two versions of this showerhead and loved both of them. I can say without a doubt that I would get this version again with the added anti-stain coating as its very clear that it works well," one reviewer said. "This was easy to install and everyone in my family loves it. Especially those with longer hair that need that extra 'power' to get both the shampoo and conditioner removed from their hair."
Number of Spray Patterns: Five | Flow Rate: 1.75 and 2.5 GPM | Finishes: Champagne bronze, chrome, polished nickel, stainless steel, and Venetian bronze | Material: Plastic
The only downside with dual shower heads is that they can take up a lot more room than a traditional built-in singular one. This pick, however, is designed with compact showers in mind. If you don't want to deal with installation, you may want to consider paying the extra cost ($130) for AllModern's professional installation. "If both shower heads are on, they intersect, so you get good power, but if it’s one or the other, the pressure is awesome. We bought to install in a rental home so didn’t want to spend too much. This is perfect for our needs," one reviewer said.
Number of Spray Patterns: Eight | Flow Rate: 1.75 and 2.5 GPM | Finishes: Brushed gold, chrome, brushed nickel, matte black | Material: Plastic
We love a rainfall shower. It just feels so soothing that getting out of the shower actually becomes kind of a struggle. If you've ever had the pleasure of rinsing off in a spa, you already know that a rainfall shower is far superior than pretty much everything else. That said, if you don't have time for the spa-inspired experience, go for the handheld option and do a quick rinse, which makes keeping your hair dry super easy. One reviewer said, "It wasn’t the design that I wanted, but the performance, which was better than expected."
Number of Spray Patterns: Four | Flow Rate: Not listed | Finishes: Chrome, nickel, matte black | Material: Stainless steel
At just over $200, this is a great affordable find that still offers a massive upgrade to your shower experience. Plus, if you plan on installing it yourself, you don't need to remove, drill, or damage tiles because this thing is designed to fit existing plumbing. "It looks great, and it really delivers on quality. I have had a few American Standard products, and they always deliver on quality and durability," one reviewer said. "I really like the hose length and the fact that it can reach to the back of my shower due to how it attaches. It makes giving kids and dogs a bath much easier. I also like that you can have both sprayers on at the same time." Not to mention, regardless of which size you get (there are 24- and 36-inch options), you'll be saving a ton of water with the shower head's built-in Aqua Toggle, which lets you choose between four spray settings.
Number of Spray Patterns: Five | Flow Rate: 1.8 GPM | Finishes: Chrome | Material: Stainless steel
Sometimes, dual shower heads feature one top-notch nozzle and one that's a bit more subpar. This Kohler pick is not one of those: Both nozzles are equally worthy. Which one you use depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to take a body-only shower and not have to worry about ruining your blowout, use the handheld. Otherwise, go full force on the docked nozzle. "We love this thing because it has two spray heads. You can use one or both of them simultaneously according to your mood. I personally prefer the handheld unit but the wife likes to have both spraying at the same time. The install was very simple. Anyone can do it," one reviewer said.
Number of Spray Patterns: Three | Flow Rate: 2.5 GPM | Finishes: Brushed brass, polished chrome, polished nickel, gold, matte black, brushed bronze, and brushed nickel | Material: Stainless steel
Luckily, all shower heads kind of do the same thing: spray water through the nozzles, and double shower heads are no exception. Of course, with dual shower heads, though, there's the added head that gives you the option to use the handheld, the docked, or both heads at the same time. Here are a few things to consider before buying one: ease of use and water pressure. As for the former element, we want to caution you against buying any really complicated fixtures that come with an adjustment period of getting used to its buttons, nobs, and more. Instead, go with something simple. After all, spending an extra 10 minutes in the shower trying to figure out how to change the spray pressure on a nozzle you can barely reach does not sound like an appealing way to spend the morning. Luckily, all of our picks are super easy to use. Second, we'd recommend opting for a dual shower head whose two nozzles are equipped with different spray functions and varying water pressures. If it's a shampoo day, you'll probably want to use the most powerful setting, whereas if you're washing your body, you can probably go with one of the less aggressive ones.
Here's the thing: Most House Beautiful editors and testers are renters in New York City and want our security deposits back at the end of our leases, so installing a new showerhead isn't an option. That said, I still put a lot of thought into which options I recommended above. First and foremost, I chose the most attractive ones, but before I added them to our list, I read every single review to make sure they're worthy of House Beautiful readers' bathrooms. Aside from looks and functionality, my main concern was price: Fixtures can definitely be overpriced, so chose relatively affordable options that are the halfway point between cheap and expensive.
When it comes to picking out the best and most affordable pieces for any space, I have been reviewing furniture, appliances, and home must-haves for nearly eight years. While I am not a professional plumber, my fellow editors and I know a thing or two about bathroom design. From offering inspiration and decor ideas to recommending the best products to buy—like bathtub trays and the best smart showerheads—our team cares about functionality and aesthetics when it comes to our everyday pieces. I applied these same principles when curating products for this story. I spent hours combing through reviews and ratings to find the best dual showerheads on the market right now for House Beautiful readers.
