Was in the market for a new shower head for the spare bathroom, thought I would give this a try.
Free delivery with Ebayplus.
5 year warranty as well which is nice.

Im not sure how calling a plumber is relating to this shower head. Jog on mate
It’s a full shower rail not just a shower head. I wouldn’t want to muck around with my fixtures but if you are a diy go ahead
It’s still not a bargain
It's not.. have a look first 😉
No its not, it literally attaches to the where the head should go. It's a simple as wrapping some sealing tape and screwing it on.
This isn't a rails, it's a head with a diverter for a hand held. With a rail not much difference anyway. The outlet is literally connected the exact same way. It's has nothing to do with the taps/mixer. The rail is just held on with top outlet and just a bracket screwed onto a wall
Anyone know if this showerhead requires wall drilling for installation? Or just unscrew the old one and replaced with this one?
Requires a licensed plumber
No it doesn't, it just screws onto your existing showerhead outlet.
The packaging of all these showerheads says that the warranty is only valid if installed by a licensed plumber. Note that Cefito's website says it only warranties shower heads for 1.5 years.
You can install it yourself in ten minutes (https://www.handyman.net.au/how-replace-showerhead) but if you do, you lose the warranty. Not likely that a shower head will go bad in two years.
Would same instalation method as in video applies for this model too??
Pretty much
Beware. I find products sold by ozplaza poor quality.
You are better buying a similar product from Bunnings with 10yrs warranty.

that link is for just a head though, no arm and no hose handheld.
POS one from Bunnings is $149 - decent one with 25 year warranty is $275
I got this one from Catch a year ago for just over $100. It was easy to install myself (and I'm shit with DIY) by screwing in to the one fitting where the old head was.
I'm not saying that this is a Chinese knockoff, but I ordered a different $300 showerhead that was selling for $100. The one that showed up looked almost identical to the listed product, but had no WELS mark on it.
Hiring a plumber could be useful if you aren't clear on how to identify that what shows up is actually WELS certified and not a knockoff that's going to pump your family full of lead and other toxic metals.

Personally experienced an eBay scam with a shower product. If you do take the risk, make sure that the product you get matches the picture above. In other words, the showerhead should not have a different pattern of holes.
Cefiro sells this for $138 (It's not $300) and also does dropshipping, so it is plausible that it's being sold for $99.

Not really a bargain. Quick Google shows the going price , cheap brand.
Also buying bathroom fixtures that only have a 5yr warranty is indicative of what you are buying…
Getting a plumber out will cost 3x more than this - better off investing more
