I found a massive like 12” hansgrohe shower head at a thrift store. It was missing the threaded portion which screwed into the extruding pipe for the shower. I sent Hansgrohe an email looking for a part number so I could buy a replacement. They requested my contact info / address, I complied (against my better judgement) and never heard a response back. 1 week later I received a brand new in the box shower head the same as my thrift store find. Free. It was like a $600 shower head. This was 2 years ago. 10/10 company in my experience. Answer from bigfuckingjoe on reddit.com

Hansgrohe vs Grohe vs others
Just really depends on if you have a decent enough supply house that can get and or stock parts. I can go anywhere and get delta parts but sometimes it can take a couple weeks to get replacement parts or trim for a hansgrohe. They are nice but if in ten years if you want to change the trim or get a cartridge it may take a bit to get. At the end of the day it’s your choice because you’re the one who’s gotta live with it.

April 20, 2008 - Now let me remark on the differences between the Hansgrohe and the Grohe: First of all, the Grohe feels considerably heavier and more rigid. The routing is cleaner in the rear and the tolerances are tighter between the parts.

Can anyone help me choose a shower? Hansgrohe or Grohe. | Mumsnet
October 20, 2019 - We have a grohe, we basically wanted exactly what you want, overhead shower and hand shower to wash it down. We got a round push button control with volume control twist like dimmer switches, and a thermostatic knob below it. I think we probably spent about 400 in total on the shower bits, the mixer was the most expensive but is fantastic quality, and the large rain head has some water saving technology and it does seem good. I assumed hansgrohe was the retail/consumer side of the brand as i saw them in shops, and grohe was the commercial/hotel side as i only found them online.

June 15, 2024 -

It's 2024 and reddit is filled with people cursing these German brands (old comments). At the same time, there are some (again old) comments saying that it's good quality and worth the painful service and delay in ordering parts during faults.

Why are these expensive brands still popular and my contractor is recommending them in 2024 if it's a pain? Will Delta / moen get me the same experince, quality & long lasting product and quality service? I'm looking for a double function thermostatic shower valve. I have a shortlisted product from Grohe but the negative reviews really scare me.
