MiraShowers Realm Mixer Shower Exposed Rigid (ER) Mixer Shower Chrome 1.1735.001

Purchased this shower unit to replace a cheaper unit that had failed to work properly from day 1. What a difference, the Mira shower was very easy to fit and worked amazingly well right from the start. Temperature and flow first class. The old saying buy cheap buy twice applied totally in this case. It is much better to pay a bit extra for the quality of the Mira Showers. One review noted that the method of holding the flexible hand spray in an fully enclosed ring was not very pratical but this was easily overcome by buying, from Amazon, a H&S shower head holder for £7.99. This makes it simple to use the small shower head by hand or fixed in its holder.

After Amazon lost the first one the replacement came and was a like for like swap - decent shower that does exactly what we want

We had an older Mira shower that was very noisy but the new 1 is ace quiet efficient and quite robust good product thanks Mira 👍👍

I must say that this shower has now exceeded expectations: still looks as good as it did when installed - we de-scale the heads every few months and it just soldiers on flawlessly. See below for the reason it had a 2 star review originally.==============ORIGINAL REVIEW============Given the cost of plumbers / re-tiling bathrooms, etc we decided to move a little more up-market from the sub-£100 Vicky Plumb mixer that only lasted 3 years... our plumber recommended Mira as he said that was the brand that was the most reliable. Over four times more expensive and the Mira Realm (with diverter) has lasted a quarter of the time!Installation was apparently very easy, it appears well built: good shower flow and reliable, smooth operation.... that's where the good stuff ends.The diverter/extension design is very, very poor... I can only assume that IF this was ever tested, the people engaged never use the extension anywhere other than while it is in the clip - even just popping it out to hose around the shower base or rinse your kids' hair requires feeding most of the hose through the retaining loop and then pulling it back through to put it in place (after you've re-inserted the plastic sleeve that pops out every time). If you're using this shower above a bath and already have an extension on the lower bath taps, then this might be okay as a secondary lower-level shower.... if you're paying £50 extra because you need a convenient, flexible extension in a shower cubicle, then this doesn't do the job at all.The main reason I'm feeling so aggrieved is despite the "5 year warranty", I'm struggling to get any responses from their support system and the shower started leaking badly 9 months after it was installed... it seemed to improved for a few weeks and is now a constant dribble and we have to use the diverter to run the water into a separate jug (about 40 litres per day!) - which makes the poor design of the diverter even more frustrating and annoying.edit: another 9 months on and I'm giving a slightly more positive rating... the design of the extension is still ridiculous, but it has been repaired and it seems we just got a dud one, the replacement has been flawlessly reliable since then and still feels as solid and robust as the day it was installed... the main reason for feeling quite so positive about it is that when the customer support team woke up, they were VERY good: a phone call to offer a FREE next day Mira approved specialist to check the install and replace anything that wasn't working as expected. There was a condition that we would have to pay for the call-out if the problem was due to a bad home install, but it wasn't, it it was all fixed very quickly and at zero cost to us.

We already had one of these showers for the main bathroom and got another for the second bathroom when we had it done up this month. Although I love the performance in our main bathroom I was a bit concerned that the low pressure in our bungalow would make even this shower struggle, as it is a long way from the hot water tank to the shower, and only has a low 'head' to the cold water tank in the loft, but no problems - good output, classic looks and visitors are all very impressed with the overall look of the room now. We needed something to modernise our old cottage without spoiling the feel and appearance, and the Realm is brilliant for this. The Maxiflo valve is supposed to give 3 x the flow and force of other mixer showers, and I can quite believe it. Highly recommended.

Bought this as a replacement for same shower we had for a few years. We were happy with last one so went for same again. Plus it fitted exactly so no extra drilling or plumbing involved.For a long time my husband thought we could never have this type of shower as we have a combination boiler. How wrong he was; a friend told him we could! It’s a powerful shower even at the hottest temperature. The shower head tilts & the hand held shower is a bonus if like us you have a dog. Great to wash & rinse his coat thoroughly & clean the bath afterwards!The price we paid for this one was near enough £100 cheaper than the one we replaced! Plus next day Prime delivery.

Looks amazing, as good a quality as a similar product that is nearly 3 times the price. Very easy to install.

No regular suze bolts, came with mussing bolt i had to buy from ebay, has been leaking as the water when turned off still lets some through but as its fixed to the wall bow i will have to bay for a second install.
