hansgrohe Ecostat Modern 2-Handle 7-Inch Wide, Temperature Memory, Valve, Diverter in Chrome, 04231000 Thermostatic Trim, Medium

beautiful product. well built. only thing was missing a screw inside but was able to find it at hardware store. still the product itself is good and so is the customer service at Hansgrohe. I no longer have to mess around with the hot or cold water to get the temperature just right. its just right all the time! would highly recommend this to anyone.

Just read the manual on how to use and your great

Cheap stuff with chrome plated plastic. Not worth the price. Will stay away next time.

This is the coolest thing we've added to our house in years. Our old shower hardware had separate hot and cold faucets. First the water would be cold, then it would be really hot, then we'd regulate it to the right temperature. But then as the cold water reached the house from the street, it would be cold again. The first five minutes of every shower was just trying to keep from being chilled or scalded. Now we just flip the switch and Mr. Hansgrohe regulates the temperature -- and does a much better job than we ever did. It takes 15 seconds for the shower to reach the right temp and then it just stays there. If someone flushes the toilet or runs water in the sink, the shower just adjusts. A lot of new showers use a technology called pressure-balancing which evens out the hot and cold extremes. But this faucet uses a better technology that actually has a mechanical thermostat imbedded in the diverter valve. The more advanced technology can be really expensive -- some brands and some Hansgrohe models can be $600-$900. This one is very reasonably priced but the the quality is extremely good. Controls are very simple and intuitive. The top lever goes clockwise 1/4 turn to turn on the shower. The bottom lever sets the temperature. My wife likes it a little hotter than I do, so when I get in the shower I just shift the lever a little bit clockwise, and when she gets in she does the opposite.

Thermostatic shower valves rock. And this one is quite nice. Be sure to buy the Universal Box that it installs into. And be sure to read every page of the instructions before installing, because one optional step (making it possible to have the overhead shower and hand shower operate simultaneously) is out of order -- it's placed after the "you're finished" page. That's dumb, I had to have my handyman take the knob off again to perform the optional step (5 mins. wasted, no big deal), but everything else is great. It has detents at the 9:00, 12:00 and 3:00 positions, and at the 6:00 position if you enable the above simultaneous dual shower operation. If you use a plumber or handyman, be sure to test all desired operations and settings before s/he leaves.
