Qualitatively, it is clearly much better than the spirals available on the market at various prices, much cheaper than this one. The only problem I faced is related to its flexibility. Unfortunately, as a spiral, it is quite stiff and it was a struggle for me in the first few days to set it up exactly as I wanted, because I also got the Grohe phone holder (which is wall-mounted) and the shower phone had to always fit in a specific position. Other than that, I believe it will last for many years without needing to replace it again.
