The Prisma shower head made a very good impression in the test.
We were particularly impressed by the new shower experience. The 344 fine water holes produced a stronger and softer jet of water than with conventional shower heads. Shampoo and care products were rinsed off more quickly and the skin was cleaner.
The mineral pearl filters improved the SPA experience. The 3 spray types and the interchangeable plate enabled individual adjustment.
The simple installation without tools and compatibility with standard hoses rounded off the positive picture. We can confirm the promised water saving of 9 liters per minute.
In addition, there are no unpolished edges or manufacturing defects on the product.
Advantages
✅No loss of comfort during use
✅water-saving
✅family-run German company
Disadvantages
❌Use of packaging material similar to polystyrene

The first impression
Packaging and labeling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Item was packed compactly – but Styrofoam was used | 80 points |
| Product labeling | Markings available | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | High-quality packaging, also suitable as a gift | 100 points |
| Total | 95 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The Prisma shower head came to our test in a typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged .
The box contained the shower head and a second replacement plate. The customer was also provided with detailed operating instructions, which made it easier to use the shower head.
Styrofoam was used to package the shower head, but in this case the product was fully protected and the shower head was in perfect condition. For this reason, the packaging is not fully recyclable.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging was damaged.
The first time in your hand

*The maximum score is 100 points
The shower head from Prisma makes a very good visual impression in the test. In addition to its simple design, it has no manufacturing defects. The shower head is made of high-quality plastic and can be installed on any standard shower hose thanks to its standard connection.
The product impresses with its good weight and sturdy workmanship. The customer is supplied with a high-quality shower head that can provide good service.
Unfortunately, there is no information about sustainability on the Amazon product page or on the packaging. Due to the high-quality materials used, we assume a long service life.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Easy installation even by a layman – thanks to easy-to-understand pictures in the operating instructions | 100 points |
| Optics/ Design | Simple design and beautiful appearance – fits into any bathroom | 100 points |
| Water-saving | Promise of 9 liters per minute is kept – pleasant sparkling water effect due to the mineral stones used | 100 points |
| Use | Very easy to use, unfamiliar at first – the only downside: small shower head | 90 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We tested the Prisma shower head and were surprised by the new shower experience right from the start.
It was a little unusual at first, as the water jet felt very different to conventional shower heads due to the 344 fine water holes. The pressure was much stronger, but also gentler. The only thing that bothers us about the shower head is that the area that is sprayed is smaller compared to our previous shower head.
But after a short period of getting used to it, we were delighted with the results. Shampoo and care products are rinsed off the hair and skin much more quickly, leaving the skin feeling naturally cleaner. The SPA experience provided by the mineral pearl filters was also impressive and further enhanced the showering experience.
We were able to customize our shower experience with the 3 spray types, which can be easily switched using the toggle switch , and the additional interchangeable plate.
The simple installation without tools and the ability to connect the shower head to any standard hose rounded off the positive overall picture.
In addition, the water-saving promise of 9 liters per minute was kept.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good price-performance ratio | 85 points |
| Rating cut | 4.4 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 70 points |
| Total | 78 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.4 stars. One criticism is that the shower head and its rocker switch broke after just a few uses. Many customers like the fact that the dimensions fit standard shower hoses and the materials used are of very high quality. In our practical test, we were also able to confirm the positive points, but we were unable to confirm that the rocker switch broke after just a short time.
Prices of up to €39.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €9.99. In our test, the Prismashower head with a price of €34.99 is therefore in the upper price segment. The price ratio is good for the quality and scope of services you get.
