> [@SmartAleq](#): > > My shower head, the FilthBlaster9000\* was purchased from Sharper Image for about thirty five bucks or so and it was the best damned purchase I’ve made in a VERY long time. It takes low water pressure and turns it into something fabulous by adding air in or something like that–all I know is that I went five years walking around in the shower trying to get wet and now I have to dial that bad boy down to prevent it taking skin off. Definitely a worthwhile expenditure! > > \*NOT what Sharper Image calls it, duh! I got one of those, too, because we had low pressure. It worked fine but was noisy as hell. ---

> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > Really, you’re quite lucky. You got to have this learning experience with _someone else’s_ $40!!! Aye. Unfortunately your words of solace ring a bit hollow because my learning experience only confirmed what I already suspected. In retrospect, I should have spent the money on AA batteries and then hawked them on the streetcorner. ---

Man, you guys have it easier than my uncle, who got a $10,000 gift certificate to the Sharper Image as a work bonus during the dot com days. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/40-spending-spree-at-sharper-image/331696.md?page=1)
