1. Simplehuman BT1098 – Best Overall Shower Caddy
Photo: Simplehuman
- Material: Stainless Steel, Anodized Aluminum
- Overall Dimensions: 27.6 inches by 13.3 inches by 5.9 inches
- Weight: 2.6 pounds
Starting us off is Simplehuman BT1098, the best overall shower caddy on our list. It is adjustable, has adequate storage space, and its quality build makes it very durable.
This caddy has a 2-tier adjustable design that will especially favor you if you have long bottles of shampoo and other shower products. Simply move its shelves up or down to the desired height using a quick-adjust dial.
Its exceptional rust-proof steel and anodized aluminum build combine well with a weight of 2.6 pounds to make this caddy ideal for heavy shower products and tools such as gels, electric toothbrushes, and more.
Additionally, this caddy features specially-cut holes in the shelves to accommodate upside-down bottles that allow for effortless dispensing. You also get a quick-dry soap dish at its base.
The price of Simplehuman BT1098 does, however, fall on the higher range and may discourage budget buyers.
Pros:
- Ample storage space
- Adjustable height
- Rust-proof and strong build materials
- Supports upside-down dispensing
Cons:
- Potentially pricey
2. iDesign 28075 – Best Shower Caddy for Shampoos and Conditioners
Photo: iDesign
- Material: Steel
- Overall Dimensions: 22.7 inches by 10.5 inches by 8.2 inches
- Weight: 1.9 pounds
iDesign 28075 positions itself as the best shower caddy for shampoos and conditioners with its multiple storage baskets.
This shower caddy comes with 4 storage baskets; 2 in the middle, which swing outwards to accommodate tall bottles and 2 outer ones for additional storage.
It is versatile and can accommodate large robes or bath towels using the 2 outer hooks it comes with. These hooks allow towel/robe storage outside the bathroom where the water can’t reach them.
The caddy is notably easy to install. Simply place it over the shower door that is up to 2 inches thick. Then proceed to use suction cups for a firm and secure attachment.
We did note, however, that the iDesign 28075’s design is optimized for installation on the shower door, making it difficult to install on other surfaces such as bathroom walls.
Pros:
- Superior storage space
- Adjustable baskets
- Hooks for robes and towels
- Easy to install
Cons:
- Works best on shower doors only
3. Zenna Home 7546NSP – Best Caddy for Handheld Shower Hoses
Photo: Zenna Home
- Material: Steel
- Overall Dimensions: 25 inches by 12 inches by 4.5 inches
- Weight: 3.55 pounds
Zenna Home 7546NSP is the best caddy for handheld shower hoses. Its expanding design provides the flexibility required when using shower hoses.
This caddy is specially made to work with handheld shower hoses because all its 4 sleeves are capable of sliding outwards to create room for the hose.
The caddy’s shelf mechanism is also expandable, allowing the sleeves to accommodate tall bathroom items such as shampoo and conditioner bottles.
There are hook holders at the caddy’s base, which offer a hanging storage option for small items such as razors, washcloths, shower poufs.
Not only does this caddy feature high-quality and durable steel build, but it also adds a rich two-tone brushed nickel finish that makes the whole unit rust-resistant.
Although Zenna Home 7546NSP has hooks for additional hanging storage, they are not ideal heavy items such as towels and bathrobes because the unit itself is weighty.
Pros:
- Expanding and flexible design
- Adjustable caddies
- Hooks for hanging storage
- High-quality rustproof build
Cons:
- Not ideal for hanging heavy items
4. Zenna Home 7402AL – Best Caddy for Standard Showerheads

- Material: Aluminum
- Overall Dimensions: 22.5 inches by 11 inches by 4.8 inches
- Weight: 1.6 pounds
Zenna Home 7402AL is a shower caddy designed for use on standard showerheads because it comes with a locking mechanism that enables it to attach firmly to the installation.
The caddy features an exclusive lock top, which supports the easy installation of this unit over standard showerheads while preventing slipping and swaying.
Its installation is pretty straightforward. Simply use the hex wrench included tightening the screw that secures the caddy firmly on your showerhead.
You’ll love the fact that this caddy is rustproof and is guaranteed to last long without compromising on reliability.
Also, you get 2 shelves on the caddy. The shelves have inverted bottle storage capabilities. The caddy has hooks for additional storage capacity.
Just like some other premium caddies we have reviewed, the Zenna Home 7402AL is also notably pricey.
Pros:
- A superior showerhead locking mechanism
- Easy to install
- Rustproof and long-lasting
- 2 shelves with inverted bottle cutouts
Cons:
- Pricey
5. AquaTeak 300 – Elegant Shower Caddy

AquaTeak 300 is an elegant shower caddy whose premium materials and finish make ideal for those who desire an exotic look and experience in their bathrooms.
This caddy is made using 100% teak wood, which has been grown and harvested sustainably. The whole setup adds a touch of class and elegance to your bathroom.
It provides ample storage space for multiple shower products, including shampoo and conditioners. You also get 2 razor ports, a soap tray, and 2 washcloth hooks.
You’ll love the fact that this caddy is naturally water-resistant, which makes it durable and great for both indoor and outdoor use.
To ensure your purchase is near risk-free, this caddy comes with a 5-year warranty.
It’s worth noting, however, that the premium elegance of the AquaTeak 300 comes at a steep price, which may make the caddy unappealing to budget buyers.
Pros:
- Premium wood finish
- Plenty of storage space
- Water-resistant and durable
- Generous warranty
Cons:
- Pricey
6. Gecko-Loc SHS-008 – Shower Caddy with Superior Holding Power

- Weight: 1.05 pounds
Gecko-Loc SHS-008 is a shower caddy that boasts of having superior holding power, allowing it to support heavy shower products without collapsing.
This caddy features super-strong suction cups, which allow it to support up to 44 pounds of load. Even more intriguing is the fact that it doesn’t require any glue or drilling for installation.
It is also a heavy-duty and high-performance caddy, which is made using stainless steel 304 as the main material, nickel-plated ABS plastics, and natural rubber for the suction cups.
The caddy will adhere to multiple surfaces, including ceramic tile, glass, granite, acrylic, stainless steel, and other non-porous surfaces.
Unfortunately, the Gecko-Loc SHS-008 shower caddy is not the most spacious. With only 1 rack, no hooks and no soap dish, some may find its lack of versatility a bit limiting.
Pros:
- Superior suction and holding power
- Easy to install
- Heavy-duty and durable materials
- Fits on multiple surfaces
Cons:
- Not very spacious

iDesign 86352 is a stylish wooden caddy that is the ideal complement to your bathroom’s shower stall.
It is made using 100% natural bamboo that not only adds a touch of modern style to your bathroom but also promises years of reliability from the high-quality material.
You get 2 tiers of storage space to place your shampoo, conditioner, creams, soaps, and many more items. 2 lower hooks have also been included to hold your razors, loofah, washcloth and similar items.
This caddy is incredibly easy to install. You simply hang it over a standard showerhead, which is why it is a great addition to your shower stall.
The bamboo shelves of this caddy have holes in the bottom, which allow for water drainage so that the setup maintains high levels of hygiene.
iDesign 86352 is, however, one of the pricey shower caddies on our list, a fact that may discourage people on a budget.

- Effective water drainage
Cons:
- Pricey
8. iDesign 61976 – Shower Caddy with Superior Water Drainage

This caddy features an all-wire design on its 2 metal racks. The wires support fast and effective water drainage while holding a wide range of shower products including shampoo, conditioner, cream soaps, and many more.
It also has multiple lower hooks that provide additional holding capacity for your washcloths, razors, sponge, loofah, and more small items.
The caddy is great for most showerheads as it has a large space between racks to allow for easy hustle-free mounting.
This one comes in a stylish silver finish that blends in well with your bathroom décor. It is also available in many other premium colors and finishes you can choose from.
Even though the iDesign 61976 has suction cups to provide further firm attachment to shower walls, they are not the strongest especially for preventing swaying.
Pros:
- Superior water drainage
- Multiple hooks for more holding capacity

It also features a large-capacity basket, which will remain firm and sturdy even when fully loaded.
For firm attachment on the showerhead, this caddy comes with a non-slip hook. Additional stability is provided by rotating suction cups and pegs.
Because Oxo 13248000 is compact and is designed for installation on showerheads, short people may find it a little difficult to reach its contents

How to Buy the Best Shower Caddy
Photo: SimpleHouseware
1. Your Bathroom Space
Your bathroom space will determine the type and size of the shower caddy you acquire. For instance, if you have a shower stall, you can opt for the iDesign 86352, which is great for shower stalls.
If space is not a limitation in your bathroom, larger caddies such as the Simplehuman BT1098 and iDesign 28075 would be a great fit.
Most caddies in the market are designed to fit on showerheads, so it’s likely even with minimal space, you can still get the caddy of your liking.
2. Style
Shower caddies come in different styles and designs. Some caddies are designed to hang on showerheads, while others are meant to be fixed on walls using suction cups.
You may also come across caddies such as iDesign 28075, which was designed to hang on shower doors.
Whatever the style your caddy assumes, just ensure it has ample space to store your shower products and other accessories, and that its mode of installation allows for easy access when showering.
3. Shelves
Shower caddies come with shelves or racks, which form the storage surfaces and spaces that your shower products and accessories rest on.
Your shower caddy can have one or multiple racks. Many of the caddies we reviewed have two shelves, while some such as the iDesign 28075 has 4.
The number of shelves you require may depend on how many items you intend to place on your caddy. Just ensure they are functional enough to accommodate many items.
4. Materials
Shower caddies should be long-lasting and rust-resistant because of their constant contact with water.
For these reasons, most caddies are made using either rust-free metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, or different types of wood such as bamboo or teak.
Some caddies also have special coatings and finish to make them more stylish and elegant. For instance, Zenna Home 7546NSP has a brushed nickel finish, while Gecko-Loc SHS-008 has nickel-coated ABS as a key material.
5. Accessories
Your shower caddy may come with additional accessories, which make it more practical and functional.
Hooks are the most common accessories that come attached to a caddy. You can use them to hold items such as razors, washcloths, and many more.
A caddy may also come with built-in soap holders. The more the accessories, the more the value your caddy is likely to offer.
6. Ease for Installation
The shower caddy you choose should prioritize ease of installation. All the caddies we reviewed on our list promise a hustle-free and tool-free installation.
Showerhead caddies may simply require you to hang them, while wall caddies will come with suction cups for easy and straightforward installation.
7. Durability
Well-built and durable shower caddies should be capable of withstanding constant exposure to moisture and bathroom products.
From our review, we noted that metallic shower caddies made using stainless steel, and aluminum, are very durable. Wooden caddies such as the bamboo iDesign 86352 perform equally well despite constant exposure to water.
Conclusion
When buying a shower caddy, durability and functionality should be your top priorities. Get a caddy that is rustproof.
Also, confirm that the number and size of baskets in your caddy are enough for your shower items and products.
From our review, Simplehuman BT1098 is the best overall shower caddy. It is spacious, adjustable, and durable.
iDesign 28075 is great for long shampoo and conditioner bottles, while Gecko-Loc SHS-008 has superior holding power for heavy items.
