Mira Showers Vigour Thermostatic Power Shower White 1.1532.353

Great value for money, a very good shower

My MIra Event XS eventually failed after 12 years roughly. Although it worked fine over those years the noise from the motor was huge. A H&S audit would definitely recommend wearing hearing protection while showering it was that bad. I decided to stick with the same brand mainly because of their quality (noisy motor aside), appearance, and same location of water and electrical connections. The new unit was fitted in about 20 minutes. The difference in motor noise is night and day. Yes you can still hear it obviously but it is very subdued. A much simpler operation on the new one also. Rotate the inner ring to switch on and vary the water pressure. The outer ring allows adjustment of the temperature. It is a fantastic shower from a recognised brand and what you get for the price is very impressive. Highly recommended.

Bought to replace another Mira shower, although it should have been a straight forward replacement it took a while to get the fast fit connectors to seal correctly. Running well so far and easy to use.

As usual for Amazon shops, excellent delivery time and well packaged. The unit performs really well, even on the lower power settings (we rarely use it on full) especially as we only have 1.1 bar available. Being reasonable at DIY, I found the instructions to be good, with the templates accurate, and was not daunted by the potential difficulties someone with less experience might face. The only issue is as follows: if you are replacing an older power shower (like I was) I had a couple of problems as I was going to use the rear entry panel. Therefore, I had to cut the metal pipework, and fit flexible hoses with plastic push fit at the shower end. As this shower uses plastic push fit, you will have to cut a larger hole to accommodate the larger plastic fittings ... therefore I had to increase the hole size from 7cm to 10cm. Apart from that having to go to Screwfix for a larger hole cutter and then cutting the hole - I fitted the whole thing in under an hour!!

simple controls, good water flow. We live in a bungalow so water pressure from the hotwater is not great but this shower works a treat with the little pressure we do have.

Great product when up and running. Its important to know that when fitting this to the wall it comes with wall plugs that are RUBBER. this I assume is to reduce noise transmission through the wall. However when fitting these if you "over tighten" them ( whatever that means as there is no spec) they will be practically impossible to remove as I found out when I had a small leak and spent 2 hrs cutting the heads off the screws to get the unit off the wall. The rubber strips in the hole and the screw and its retainer all rotate together and you are goosed ! Another point I noticed is that when the unit is connecting to the two pipes protruding out from the wall, the plastics at the back of the unit clashes with the pipes as you slide it up onto them and prevents them from engaging fully, hence my leak. The unit had to be removed and the plastics cut away. Once installed it all works fine.

Really powerful shower. Recommended.

Our Mira Events XS broke down after 7-8 years of use after it stopped spluttering out water completely and produced a burning smell. We decided to go for this since it had similar dimensions to the Event and also was thermostatic. Albeit the worse shower head and slightly less powerful pressure, I installed a third-party Shower Head of my own and works like a charm. Also much quieter and in my opinion sleeker than the Events XS, the Vigour is an excellent option for a reasonable price.

Bought as a spare as I have 2 install in my house. I have been using these for years as they are easy to swap out, no pipe changes so no new holes.
