Yes, Symmons is a very good shower brand and is considered one of the best for commercial-grade durability, reliability, and scald protection, though it is less stylish than luxury brands. Symmons Industries, founded in 1939 in Braintree, Massachusetts, family-owned and made in USA, invented the pressure-balancing shower valve in 1960s, the Temptrol, which prevents scalding when toilets flush, and is known for lasting 30 to 50 years in hotels, hospitals, schools, and homes. Symmons showers are built to commercial standards with solid brass valves, high-quality cartridges, and excellent temperature control within 3 degrees. Consumer reviews average 4.5 to 4.8 stars on Ferguson and Amazon, with praise for solid construction, reliable temperature, excellent customer service with free parts under lifetime warranty, and few leaks. Plumbers rank Symmons among top for fewest callbacks and longest life, with many saying Temptrol is most reliable valve they install. Symmons offers various trim styles including Allura, Dia, Duro, and Origins, though designs are more functional than luxury rainfall designs from Hansgrohe or Kohler. Symmons showers cost $100 to $300 for valve plus trim, mid-range to premium. For durability, safety, and commercial use, Symmons is excellent. For luxury spa aesthetics, Hansgrohe or Brizo may be more stylish. So Symmons is good shower brand for those valuing longevity and safety over trendy design.
