  • Dishwasher-safe components convenience
  • Mist-free evaporative technology

Canopy earns mixed reviews: many say its humidifiers and filtered showerheads work—quietly hydrating dry rooms, softening hard water, and improving sinuses, skin, and hair—while others report modest humidity gains and scent diffusion, noisy operation, flimsy-feeling parts, and hard‑to‑use controls. Reviewers praise dishwasher‑safe cleaning, tap‑water compatibility, sleek design, and easy installations, but flag off-button glitches, frequent refills and filter changes, large showerhead size and adjustability issues, decreased water pressure, and weak aroma output.

  • I love the idea of a filtered showerhead but I do struggle to know if it is actually doing anything. I can definitely see the filter change color but the water does not feel any different in washing. In some cases, I feel like it is more drying on my skin and worse on my hair. I wish that you could see the filter without taking the whole thing apart since every household is different and going by the number of weeks is not exactly a good model. I also had the handheld shower but the adapter broke since it is extremely rigid when trying to switch the ways you want to use it. I also have their humidifier and I love the idea of no mold buildup with sitting water but this also gets expensive really fast since the regular bedroom size uses about half a gallon of water per night!

  • We’re about a month in and love the effects of these filters! My hair is brighter and softer. Installation was a breeze, and the ability to add a handheld nozzle as part of one of the showerheads for baby/dog/person washing is awesome (we did one in the guest bath, and the regular showerhead in ours). We got the tub filter too, and it just slides over the existing spout. Super easy! I love that the filters are on a subscription so I always know when to change them and don’t have to set reminders etc. Canopy has really taken all the questions I had around water filters and solved them!

  • Bought this since we have hard water where we live and our dermatologist suggested that we get a filter for our shower, after trying a bunch of different skincare products didn’t make much of a difference. This has made a huge difference in my husbands back acne and my skin feeling dry even after slathering myself in oils and lotions.

  • I ordered the canopy handheld showerhead after hearing lots of hype. This is the third filtered showerhead I’ve tried, and it’s nice but not my favorite. Install was super easy, which is definitely important. It seems to filter well, and I really like the scalp massage attachment, which helps thoroughly rinse shampoo and conditioner out of my hair. I was expecting more in terms of water pressure - it’s not bad, but it’s not as amazing as they describe (my last showerhead had better pressure). The showerhead itself is made of plastic and feels pretty cheap. If there was a way to increase the water pressure and make the unit out of metal it would deserve 5 stars.

  • I've been seeing Canopy all over social media, so I finally decided to give it a try. I got the filtered showerhead because I feel like the hard water is quite rough on my hair. First impression, the packaging was super sleek and modern. Very easy to install as well. The water pressure is nice and I have no complaints! My hair also feels softer after wash with this showerhead.

  • Received our shower head a few days ago and already feeling an actual difference since our water is quite hard where we live + no water softener. A game changer for the way it affects our bodies and with how our shower won't be building up hard water staines quite as quickly/at all in the months to come. The filter subscription will be around $100/yr for filters and for our situation, is definitely worth it. The only real negative I have right now is the material of the product being mainly of plastic. Not a fan of that at all and hoping that they create a more premium all metal version. For the price that you pay, you'd think it would have been all metal.

  • I'd been looking at getting a filtered showerhead for the longest time. My skin is super sensitive to the ultra-hard water we have in Dallas. It was so bad that I would begin to feel itchy before the shower was over. I dreaded taking showers because of that. Not to mention that I hated how long it took to wash my hair. And then I finally got a Canopy filtered showerhead (I got the one that also has the detachable wand). I know this is going to sound dramatic but after the first use, I wanted to cry tears of joy. Zero skin irritation. I was able to wash my hair in record time thanks to the wide showerhead and perfect water pressure. Not only did Canopy help with my skin irritation from hard water, it also has done wonders for my hair! Before Canopy, if I let my hair airdry it felt overprocessed, tangled, frizzy and dull color. I had no idea that the hard water was damaging my hair. It took ONE use of the Canopy showerhead to fix that. My hair airdries and looks good to go. It means I don't have to spend as much time (if any) styling my hair with heating products. Canopy is a gamechanger for sure! WORTH EVERY PENNY. the end.

  • The Canopy showerhead is sleek and easy to install — it took less than 10 minutes! I love that it comes with a filter already in it, so it's ready to go. The face of the showerhead is wider than that of my previous one, providing more coverage. And it's nice that you can switch between two spray patterns. Overall, I'm a big fan, and I can't wait to see how the filtration helps my dry skin during the winter.

  • I got a canopy shower head as part of a thingdrop a while ago. I have used it every single day since. I have the filter subscription turned on so I never have to think about ordering more. It works out perfectly. My shower head does get a bit of build up quicker than I expected but that could just be my water. I will continue to use this for a long time.

  • I bought the Bedside Humidifier 2.0 in February when I could no longer handle the dryness in my apartment. The humidifier is super cute looking, has some nice features, and best of all – is easy to clean.

  • I'm a work hard, play hard, spa hard kinda gal. But not a water hard one. Enter: the canopy filtered showerhead. Do YOU know what's coming through your pipes? I was ahem...intrigued at the fun little bits my previous showerhead was really doing its best to try and filter out (good job, little buddy). Water quality can vary, and being someone who has lived in areas with hard water and heavily chlorinated water, I can say I've noticed a difference in my skin and hair depending on where I live I wasn't expecting to be able to notice a difference, but strangely, the water felt legitimately...softer? I can't really explain it, but either way, I am happy to know my skin and hair are being treated to filtered water. There's also a neat essential oil diffuser tag that you can clip on to the showerhead. I didn't experience any noticeable scent from the tag, but then again, I don't usually take showers long enough to build up a ton of steam (team short shower for da watershed). There are two settings, a diffused one, which has a great footprint, and a streamlined flow, which I found effective for rinsing out hair products. I'm so excited to have some consistency in water quality for my hair no matter where I am living, and really love the function and aethetics of this showerhead. It feels luxurious. Plus, my shower plants are about to VIBEEEE!! ** Oh, did I mention it was easy to install? You got this!!

  • It’s interesting. Not like a normal humidifier that has mist, but uses more of a paper filter that moisturizes the air that flows past it? I like the look of it, but did notice that the machine would randomly turn back on after I turned it off. I do appreciate the free essential oil that comes with it. Pretty easy to set up

  • My skin and hair have improved a lot since I switched to the canopy filtered shower head. It has many great features, from the stylish sleek look to the 3 different stream settings. The narrow stream setting is very helpful on wash days, especially when I need to save time or relax my sore muscles after a workout. It gives me the much needed PRESSURE massage my scalp when I’m stressed out or just need a little extra relief before I start my day. Another bonus is the aroma oil that comes with this shower head. It has a wonderful scent that makes my shower time feel more relaxing and luxurious. The only problem I had was with the delivery. My package was opened and repackaged and I didn’t get a felt diffuser. But apart from that, I’m very satisfied with the product and how it works and have recommended it to others.

  • I have both the humidifier and now, thanks to a Thingdrop deal, the filtered shower head. They're nicely designed products, but I don't think they make a significant impact on your well-being, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. For the humidifier, we wanted something small that would look good beside the bed. Most humidifiers are pretty ugly, so the design and the idea that Canopy had a filter and that the parts were dishwasher safe sold us on it. During a dry winter, it's a nice thing to have, and according to my air quality filter it does increase humidity a little bit. But if you look at Wirecutter reviews, they recommend units that can really make a difference in your indoor air. Canopy is pretty weak in that regard. The filtered shower head is hard to evaluate. We live in NYC, where water quality is generally high, and we live in a new-ish building so we aren't worried about rotten pipes. I didn't really have a complaint about my water before, but I didn't like my shower head, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to replace it with something better, and filtering my shower water couldn't hurt either. It's been a few weeks now, and I appreciate the water pressure and adjustable flow patterns (which were flaws of my existing shower head). It is a fairly large unit, so you may want to measure if the pipe you connect the shower head to is low; the Canopy shower head just barely fits for us. It's a decent-looking thing, but we're renters anyway, so none of our fixtures are particularly note worthy. The packaging was nice. I rarely notice the scent working — that seems like a gimmick. Overall, both products are nice, but neither are necessities and if you don't care about the design, there are almost certainly better-performing options on the market.

  • I like the humidifier in comparison to others, however I don’t think it’s life changing. I’m not sure it makes much of a difference in terms of the air quality in my room or my skin and the other benefits it claims. The water tank empties only after 1-2 nights of use so it’s really annoying to have to refill all the time. I honestly mainly use it for the white noise while I sleep (without even adding more water sometimes).

  • I’ve been using my shower head for 3 months now and I can’t go back. I felt the difference in the water and my skin and hair felt smoother. I recommend investing in a shower head because of the benefits and if you want to splurge, get this one! Best part is that you can take it with you on vacation because it’s not super big and works on any shower.

  • Although the Canopy shower head was actually not super simple to install, I am enjoying the product and it’s an upgrade to my old shower head. Pay close attention to the instructions when you order it tells you to visibly line up the grooves on the wrench. On my old showerhead the grooves were really not obvious. I had to use a stepstool to get up close. I was been able to remove it. However, placing the new showerhead was extremely difficult and it took me several tries. I am not sure if there was something warped with my shower pipe or what the actual issue was but it wasn’t easy. I finally got it and ended up installing the product upside down. It was too frustrating to imagine taking it off and trying over so I left it upside down. This seems to not affect anything. Only used it once but I could tell from the first use that my hair felt much better. Unsure about any difference in my skin. And I’m not sure how easy replacing the filter will be. While I was trying to install the head, the filter actually came partially off accidentally. We’ll see if I can update this review in three months when I attempt to replace the filter , but so far I do like it quite a bit better than what I had before, and I haven’t tried any other filtered showerheads. I will add that the aroma diffuser they included, has no scent in the shower. I couldn’t even tell it was there.

  • I love this humidifier! We’ve gone through so many and no matter what they get gross. I love that this is dishwasher safe and that it included an air filter to you get dual benefits. It also has a feauture to effectively remove any excess moisture in the device so it stays cleaner longer. We want to get a second for our daughter’s room!

  • I got the shower head+filter bundle. The shower head +filter were packaged really nicely, everything in its spot, everything included, nothing busted in transit. It was so easy to install and the water pressure is really good! It looks nice and sleek also. I do think that my scalp has been happier since using this but I'm going to have to use it longer to test further. My eyes don't burn from the stuff in the water anymore though! I love this, all in all So after getting the showerhead filter I got the chance to test the bedside humidifier! The packaging was very precise and everything was safely packed so nothing was broken. There were clear setups instructions (not that it was difficult, but still nice and clear). The humidifier is very light weight which makes one worry about the materials standing up over time. So far everything seems good though, it's just light. I think the settings are good, I didn't see instructions on what each setting means though that could have been my mistake. I haven't found a negative side to this humidifier aside from my toddlers take the clay stone so I can't use the scent feature much. I like that the filter easily shows when it needs changed. In addition to the last review, I have purchased refill filters numerous times for my filter showerhead and I feel like they really help! I do think that I need to change filters more often than my subscription is set for so I'll likely change that. I love that the subscription is easy to modify! Customer support has been fantastic whenever I have needed them. I am excited because with the most recent Canopy drop on thingtesting I have ordered the Canopy bath filter which I'm thrilled for for my toddlers who regularly take baths. They often get irritated skin from hard water and so I think the bathtub filter will help a lot!

  • I wanted to test this a few times before I reviewed. I was very happy with the packaging and presentation. it was very easy to remove my shower head and replace with this one, they even provided tools of necessary. My current shower head was filtered and have been using for 5 years now The Canopy is 100 times better, I could feel the difference just touching the water! My hair has never looked better, the water is soft and wonderful but not too soft that it doesn't rinse properly. It has 3 spray settings and I like them all, it also has some aroma therapy action but I am not sure I have set that up properly or am using enough drops. if you have hard water, chlorinated water, this shower head is a game changer! Love it
