With so much choice for your bathroom, it's often hard to know what the best shower for you is. Hansgrohe is on hand with some amazing showers, where quality really is important, albeit with a slightly higher price tag. Is it worth the extra budget?


Previously a lesser-known brand in the UK, Hansgrohe has burst onto the scene in recent years, boasting a massive range of showers - with an even bolder claim that once you have used a Hansgrohe shower, you won't want anything else.


With a mixture of cutting-edge features, modern design, and reliability, it is not hard to see why many people are choosing Hansgrohe, and the Raindance particularly offers some spectacular options that turn a normal shower into a really mesmerising experience

What is a Hansgrohe Raindance Shower?

The Hansgrohe Raindance range has been designed specifically to offer the most luxurious shower experience available. Some trademark features of this range are large spray discs to allow the water to surround you, something Hansgrohe refers to as their XXL Performance. It is the massive amount of spray types for you to enjoy that really makes this range special.

What is special about the Hansgrohe Raindance range?

Raindance showers are known for their large spray heads, premium finishes, and innovative spray modes such as RainAir, Whirl, and PowderRain.

Do I need a new shower system to get Raindance features?

No. You can often upgrade by just changing the shower head. For example, the Raindance Select S 120 3jet Shower Head offers the same features without replacing the whole system.

How does the Select button work?

The Select button lets you switch between spray modes with a single press, making it simple to change settings mid-shower.

Are Raindance showers suitable for low-pressure systems?

Some models may need a minimum pressure to perform correctly. Check the product specifications, and consider adding a pump for gravity-fed systems.

How do Raindance showers handle limescale?

Hansgrohe uses QuickClean silicone nozzles, so limescale and dirt can be wiped off easily with your finger, keeping performance consistent.

Hansgrohe Quickclean Technology

Hard water is common across the UK and often damages bathroom fittings through calcium deposits. Showers are especially at risk, but Hansgrohe has designed features to help prevent this.


  • Hard water leads to limescale build-up, especially in shower jets

  • Limescale can cause blockages and reduce performance

  • Hansgrohe showers use flexible silicone nozzles

  • Dirt and limescale can be wiped away easily with a finger

  • Helps the shower maintain performance and appearance for longer

PowderRain for Sensitive Souls

Hansgrohe’s PowderRain, introduced in 2020, creates a unique showering experience by releasing thousands of fine micro-droplets for a soft, full-body effect.


  • PowderRain jet produces a gentle, cocoon-like spray

  • Intense PowderRain option increases droplet density for a stronger sensation

  • No need to replace the entire shower unit

  • Upgrade available by changing the shower head

  • Example: Hansgrohe Raindance Select S Chrome 120 3jet Shower Holder Set delivers this experience

More Spray Modes

We have spoken about the new PowderRain functions, but there are many more to choose from. You can see them in our gallery below, where this is something for everyone.

Please note that not all Raindance showers can do all functions, and we strongly recommend checking the shower you are looking at to see which combination of features it has available.

Raindance Select - Switch Functions with a Single Press

Hansgrohe Select makes changing functions really simple. You can use their patented Select button to turn on your shower or even change the shower spray type. With so many different possible configurations, customising your shower to work however you want is part of the reason this range is so popular. Literally, see how simple it really is;

We recommend - Hansgrohe Raindance E Chrome Shower With ShowerTablet Select 300

If you are looking for a complete unit to replace an existing installation, this one has many of the features we spoke about, whilst being perfect for most bathroom environments. As with most Hansgrohe showers with these features, you will need a decent pressure, so this isn't suitable for anyone who has a low-pressure system (if you're not sure, you can read our article about understanding water pressure in your home)

Conclusion

So, in conclusion, with the mountains of features, the high-quality finish, and the design options available, it's easy to see why Hansgrohe demands a higher price, and we think it is every bit worth it. Our two favourite features are the select button, which makes changing features seamless, and the whirl spray that does a great job of massaging your skin after a hard day. It really is the ultimate shower experience.
