Small
It seems small in the shower and both adults found it to have a small water dispersal when using. Not sure if this is normal size and our previous shower head was oversized or if it really is smaller than average but it just doesn't work in our set-up. The general style of it is nice and modern and the quality is good.
The install has a lot of parts but nothing unexpected. Probably not for a newbie.

Water flows perfectly.
Much needed update to our outdated bathroom. Looks so good. Works even better. My husband installed it, there was some spicy language, but that’s to be expected when installing a new item in an old space. Didn’t take him too long to install it, everything is included (except tools). A small upgrade, but makes a big difference.

Could be better
I was a little disappointed when I received this item. I expected the quality to be suburb and it fell short. There were a lot of plastic pieces that over time will get destroyed from the water. With it being black I can see the calcium deposits and residue already. It’s good looking if you’re just using it for show.

Love this product!
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this sooner! I love taking showers with this shower head. It’s like a down pour which is what I love the most! My boyfriend is grateful I got it too. 1000% recommend!

Great shower control
I love the T17 series as you are able to control the temperature and the volume of water by separate controls. Installation is "easy" and the finish looks to be durable. Lots of water comes from the showered so rinsing shampoo from long hair is easy.

Sleek Contemporary Design
We recently installed the Delta T17267-BL, which is part of the Ara Bath Collection. Pros are the beautiful contemporary design looks great in our newly remodeled bathroom, it has separate controls for temperature and water flow, the shower head produces the perfect coverage without using extra water. The only con was that this was not a DIY job for us and we had to hire a professional to install it for us.

Love!
This had definitely upgraded the look of my shower stall in my bathroom! Sleek, simple, understated, yet strong, and an eye catcher for sure! The installation for my husband seemed to me to be quick enough. It works great and the handle turns easily. A winner for me for sure!

Quality shower set with a few shortcomings
This shower head/handle combo has a nice square appearance that is modern without trying too hard to appear modern. I’m grateful that Delta now offers this shower combo in matte black to match our other bathroom accessories.
The build quality is good enough, though there is more plastic involved than I would expect for something at this price point. The handle is constructed of heavy duty metal, but the temperature selector that sits inside the handle is made of plastic, as is the trim ring. Additionally, the lightweight shower head is made of cheap-feeling plastic.
I opted for this model because it offers separate controls for the water pressure and temperature. Unfortunately, in order to get enough water pressure, I had to spend an hour cutting and drilling to remove the flow regulator. When this was in place, there wasn’t enough pressure for a satisfying shower. (Thank you California water regulations.) But now that the regulator is out of the way, the handle allows us to adjust the pressure beautifully.
Without a doubt, my favorite feature of the shower head is the H2Okinetic® technology. Its water dispersion pattern offers a full, soothing shower experience. Now that I’m used to H2Okinetic®, I probably won’t go back to a regular shower head. It’s that nice.
While the build quality could’ve been better, and I was frustrated by the flow regulator, it’s a solid product. If you can live with these shortcomings, you’ll be very pleased with the other features the product offers.

Modern and perfectly functioning
I was looking for something unique for our bathroom remodel. This fixture is just so cool and modern I knew it would be perfect. I love the geometric design and the matte black finish. I knew that going with Delta would deliver on the quality, and these work as good as they look. Since you can't really adjust the spray pattern I wondered if I would like it- but the pressure and spray are perfect for me!

Love it!
We installed this in our master bathroom shower. It's stunning and really classy, a very well made shower head. It's a really top quality piece that should last forever. It's enhances our whole bathroom and was very easy to install. Love the pressure and shower.

Great Looking Shower Fixture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are overall very happy with this Delta Fixture so far. It was easy getting the correct mixing valve and making sure this was CA compliant which was a necessity for us. This checked the boxes for us on price and look. We ordered the matte black version and it seems many manufacturers haven't caught up with this trend. Time will tell how this holds up.

Delta monitor 17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The plumber installed it.
All plumbers have opinions of what they like.
He thought it installed easily and brass construction with lack of plastic was a plus in durability.

Showers from Heaven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new home remodel is finally complete and we have been enjoying our new shower for a couple months now and I can honestly say it matches or exceeds any shower I have ever used, and I have traveled a lot and stayed in some of the country's finest hotels.

Looks great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We outfitted our remodeled bath with matching Black Delta Ara faucets and Shower fittings. They look great! We were going for the modern farmhouse look and it’s a great fit! The finish is easy to keep clean and doesn’t get spotty. The shower head gives great coverage and the valve assembly is smooth to operate. Make sure to purchase the rough in valve, sold separately.

Shower Valve, Take Two
I renovated a bathroom and went from a tub to a stand up shower. I selected the Delta T17267 Valve for it's separate flow and temperature controls. I had installed the rough valve and about 3 weeks later installed the flow valve. I opened it up and found I had no hot water. I reread the instructions and kept moving the temperature stop one tooth counterclockwise. Still no heat. I turned it all the way up and could only get 97 degree water from the showerhead. I emailed Delta through their website. They asked what type of water heater I used, tank or tankless. I answered their email (tank) and they got right back to me saying the problem could be in the cartridge or there could be debris in the valve. Regardless, they shipped me a new cartridge right away. I installed it and the problem was corrected, I read some reviews where people complained about the temperature control handle being made of plastic. It is, but once installed I don't see how that would be an issue. One other thing I really like about the valve is how quite it is. My old 2 handle set-up was so noisy it would wake anyone in the bedroom that shares a wall with the bathroom. This valve is so quiet it's impossible to tell that the shower is on. Thank you Delta. Your customer service is second to none.

Transitional bathroom fixtures
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Delta Ara series gives my new construction bathrooms a contemporary high end look for very little money compared to Delta’s competition. I’m never concerned about the product quality only suggest that temperature control handle be made to install and remove with more ease.

Great looking....but poor performance
Had this professionally installed and the plumber has been back out several times to try to get this thing to work right. Very disappointing since Delta is supposed to be a great brand. Not recommended.

Still love it after two years
Aside from being absolutely beautiful in style, after 2 years I have never had to clean the head. None of the streams of water have changed since the first day it was installed. I love that it covers my big head of hair completely and rinses very well. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Less than thrilled with this purchase
It's beautiful, just lovely. But with our average water pressure it is less than effective. And the handheld part of this whole ensemble is absolutely ridiculous. Four pitiful little rivulets of water when both the shower head and the handheld are on at the same time. I don't know what it would take to improve the water pressure - we did remove the reducer valves to no avail.

The shower head is too small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the shower head is very small, looks a little awkward even for my small bathroom. Would definitely recommend a different model shower head, everything else works well!

Leaky shower head
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Remodeled the bathroom and installed this shower head and valve. We had a leaky shower head by 6 months. The contractor replaced the cartridge (i think that is what is called) and another leaky shower head after another 6 months (leaking about 5 gallons per day). Contractor is out of warranty so now i need to find a plumber and pray we dont have to tear out the new tile to replace the valve!!
In speaking to other remodelers, they tell me this is why they dont skimp on costs for showerheads and avoid cheap brands like Delta. They go with better quality to mitigate leaky valve problems which require tear-out
