Overall Rating
simplehuman just changed the over-the-showerhead landscape with the concept of the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy. Armed with features and functionality not normally seen in hanging shower caddies, the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is an avant-garde shower storage that will surely spice up your bathroom.
The company that made this great hanging shower caddy is simplehuman. The what and who of the simplehuman company can be explained using its slogan – “we (simplehuman) design tools that help people become more efficient at home”. The company’s purpose is straight to the point, and it reflects on the products it makes. I think the simplehuman company is the most purpose-driven and the company that has the most aesthetically pleasing products.
The banner feature of the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is its, well, adjustable shelves. There are two shelves that you can move up, down, left, and right to make room for tall-bottled shower essentials. Though not all tall-bottled shower caddies will surely fit the hanging shower caddy, the adjustable feature of the shower organizer is more than welcome so that most tall-bottled shower essentials can fit in it.
Moreover, the shelves have storage options for your small shower essentials, among the items that you can place on those storage options are your razors and toothbrushes. There is also a hook between the suction cups to hang your loofahs.
The other notable feature of the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is that it has a clamp instead of a mounting hook to hang it on your showerhead. Clamps will have the greater edge on the stability of the hanging shower caddy on the showerhead because unlike a mounting hook, a clamp will provide a snug fit.

What’s more, and as an added stability function, the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy has suction cups at the bottom. To sum it up, simplehuman’s Adjustable Shower Caddy’s stability can be stated in one sentence “solid materials and secure installation give our caddies the feel of built-in fixtures”.
Lastly, the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is advertised as rustproof because of its stainless steel and anodized aluminum coated body. Anodizing, according to Wikipedia, is referred to as the process of to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. As a result, anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear.
The simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is also available in another variant – the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy Plus. The main difference between the original and the Plus version is that the Plus version of the hanging shower caddy has a full bottom shelf, washcloth hanger, small item holder, and an additional divider to fit those small shower essentials. Some of the items that you can place on the bottom shelf are your soap bars. Subsequently, and since it’s called “Plus”, the Plus version of the shower organizer is a little bit larger than its original counterpart.
simplehuman Adjustable Pros
Below are the pros to the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy. The pros mentioned below are in no way sponsored or paid by simplehuman or Amazon.
- Adjustable shelves. The simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy’s shelves do not only adjust the top to bottom but left to right as well. The ability of the shelf to move left to right gives the opportunity for more bulky shower essential to fit in your hanging shower caddy.

With the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy, you won’t have to experience those pains because the hanging shower caddy has a clamp instead of the usual mounting hook to keep it secured on your showerhead. What’s more is that it has suction cups for that added stability to that the shower organizer does not swing.

simplehuman Adjustable Con
On the flip side, below are the con to the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy. Likewise, the con mentioned is in no way paid by simplehuman or Amazon.
- It rusts. Even though the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is advertised as rust proof because of the anodized advantage, a lot of Amazon reviews says the opposite. Multiple buyers of the over-the-showerhead shower caddy complained that the hanging shower caddy isn’t completely rustproof as said. One reviewer said that the anodized coating wears off with time thus exposing non-coated metal that is prone to rust. Another review stated that the only truly rustproof part of the shower organizer is the center portion.
Taking into account the pros and con collated above, the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy is rated five out of five stars overall. The hanging shower caddy’s adjustable shelves and the mounting clamp simply outweighs the rust factor. Moreover, rust may be dependent on the water type and the humidity the country you’re in. A possible workaround to prevent the shower organizer from rusting is applying a coat of Rust-oleum.
Purchase the simplehuman Adjustable Shower Caddy if you want a sleek-looking shower caddy with the functionality benefits of adjustable shelves and the stableness because of the mounting clamp and suction cups. But if you’re one of those that are sensitive to rust and mind the hassle of coating your shower organizer with Rust-oleum, you’re better off purchasing a hanging shower caddy that does not rust, like the mDesign Swing.
