He returned to IBS/KBIS in January 2020, on the hunt for new showerheads to test for this guide. The guide’s longtime editor, Harry Sawyers, has written about how a home’s shower works, and he has interviewed lots of people in the bath-fixture business on trips to KBIS and to the International Builders’ Show over the past 15 years. It also builds on the work of senior staff writer Tim Heffernan, who spent months testing showerheads for the 2016 version of this guide and met with industry reps at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). This guide builds on the work of Sabrina Imbler, who spoke (on the phone and in person, at the gargantuan Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas) with product managers (the folks who oversee every aspect of a showerhead, from design and engineering to materials, manufacture, and quality control) at Moen, Kohler, Delta, Toto, and High Sierra.
