it will be one of the first things I install. Not only does it allow you to direct the shower at what needs one the most, it also makes cleaning out the tub and stall much easier because you can just hose it down after you've soaped it and scrubbed it.

They're an absolute must for anyone with mobility problems.

They don't affect the purchase price of a house because they can be put on any shower, the connections (at least in the US) are universal.
