Shower Caddies And Its various designs:
There are a wide range of shower caddy designs that you can choose from. These models are basically designed to suit your bathroom design and where in the bathroom can the shower caddy find a place for itself.
-
Overhead Hanging Shower Caddy:
This is the most popular variant available in the market. The overhead hanging shower caddy can be easily hung on the 5†pipe that connects to your shower head. This shower caddy turns out to be extremely useful in that it holds the essentials very near to you during a bath. It does not essentially attract molds as the water drips down quickly through it and chances of molds or mild dew development is almost reduced to zero.  It is also easy to remove and clean this shower caddy once in a while. But this shower caddy has a few disadvantages which can be easily got rid off with a few alterations. It can come between you and the shower if the caddy is particularly large and the water pressure is not that much. Using a high pressure shower head can trouble shoot this problem. This caddy can also pose a problem and obstruct the hose if you are using a hand shower.
-
Tension Corner Pole Caddy:
This is another very popular model available in the market. These tension corner pole caddies were restricted to bath tub corners only but are no longer now. They are held in place with the help of a tension rod and can hold multiple shelves. This caddy is very handy when more than two people are using the same bathroom. But being grounded they are more likely to attract rust even if they have rubber feet. Another major drawback of this kind of caddies is that, when overloaded they can tip over and the entire caddy with its contents can come crashing down.
-
Suction Cup Caddy Shelf:
A useful caddy if only you are staying alone. This compact caddy doesn’t occupy much of your space and can hold two bottles of shampoo and conditioner comfortably. The major problem that most users face with this kind of caddies is their longevity. This is because the suction cups wear over time and hence these caddy shelves need to be replaced on a regular basis. Even the toughest of suction caps are damaged by the chlorine and minerals in water and the soft scum. Also, these caddies only work on smooth surfaces.
-
Portable Shower Caddies:
This is generally constructed of a mesh cloth that can be easily carried along wherever you go. The mesh does not retain the water and keeps the content dry. Though most of them are marketed as quick drying, prolonged use of these are not recommended as the mesh nets can attract bacterial colony formation and may lead to irritation.
-
Over The Door Caddy:
This is one of the most reliable and long lasting caddies. The primary reason for its longevity is the fact that it is hung on the shower door and escapes the exposure to water. But the major disadvantage is that these candies can work only with shower doors and are useless if you do not have one. They rely on two hooks and hence falling apart of this caddy with its content can not happen easily. Even if one hook gives way the second one will secure it in position.
-
Corner Standing Caddies:
Usually made of highly durable plastic as the metal counterparts will be affected by rust easily, these caddies are useful if you have enough floor space and many members using the same washroom.
-
Wall hanging Caddy:
The major disadvantage of this caddy is that you would need to hole it up to the walls and putting it up may be a hazard. Cleaning a wall unit can also take some time. As it rests on the flat wall surface chances of rusting are also high. Thus modern day users generally avoid these caddies.
Once you have come to terms with the various caddy designs available in the market, you should also have knowledge of the materials they are constructed of before investing in one.
Metal Shower Caddies: Most of the caddies are made from metal. The metal increases the longevity of the caddy and brings strength to it. But most metals are susceptible to rust even if they have anti rust coating on them. After prolonged use, the anti rust coating withers off. It’s always recommendable to go for a stainless steel caddy or a brass one. The brass variants are not regularly available but they are worth the effort if you can lay your hands on one.
Plastic Shower Caddy: Plastic Frame Caddies are worth only for short time use. These light weight caddies pose easy installation and can be either hung or made to stand. But on prolonged use they host a cesspool of bacteria and hence if you are keen on changing your shower caddy often, you can go for one. Check also best shower panels 2019.
Mesh or Polyester Caddy: These caddies are portable and can be easily used in a gym or a dorm or while you are travelling. They can be easily washed off of all the dirt and gross but are not suitable for continuous prolonged use.
So with this, we come to the end of our list of the best shower caddies available according to us. You can choose keeping in mind the shower space available, the contents and your budget.
