Mira Vigour Thermostatic Power Shower with Pump - White & Chrome 1.1532.353

I'm very pleased with this shower which replaced the previous Mira Essentials. This one is considerably quieter, probably due to the supplied rubber fixing mounts. I like the fact the flow rate is altered by varying the pump speed rather than restricting the flow. The only thing I hated was that rather than pushing out inserts to allow plumbing options, this had blanking pieces which needed fitting to cover the case holes. Unfortunately they do not fit tightly, so I had to support the bottom one with a piece of duct tape to stop it dropping out! The pipework is identical to the Essentials shower which made fitting fairy easy, although ugh the fixing screws were in different positions which is a shame.

I had the previous model for several years, and replaced the pump 3 times, so it was well used! I wanted a direct replacement to avoid any installation problems with the plumbing. It came when it was supposed to. I fitted it without any trouble at all. The maximum temperature wasn't hot enough for my family, but it was quick and simple to adjust. My earlier shower wasn't quiet..it could be heard anywhere in the house. This model, however, is extremely quiet. The rubber wallplugs are a very good idea, so too are the rubber feet (I did add a couple of extra pads behind the case). All in all, I can say that it was easy to install, it performs well, and is good value for money.

The shower was a straight replacement for a much earlier model which had given 20 years of good service before the pump failed. The current model seems every bit as good and was very quickly installed by a local plumber. Just two observations: the temperature control requires a slightly higher setting than on the older model and the wall slide bar is some 10cms shorter. This does affect the available height adjustment of the shower head as we wanted to make use of the upper of the two existing fixing holes in the tiles. So far this has not caused any real problem but might have if greater adjustment been required. All in all I am very happy with our new shower.

Have only just started using this product but was determined to get another Mira shower as the previous one (a Mira Express) did excellent service. While the Vigour is quite a bit bigger than the Express (was this the smallest power shower ever?), it looks smart and delivers a good pressure of water. Easy to use, stable temperature and relatively easy to install. I have given 4 stars for Build Quality only because a few years of use is required to prove this but it certainly looks solid enough. If it lasts anywhere near as long as the Express, I shall be well pleased - and it was a very good price as well! Thank you, Plumbnation.

This was bought as a like for like replacement. The Plumbnation price was so much cheaper than elsewhere, including the 'sheds' who sell it under their own branding, that it seemed too good to be true. Product arrived next day and was fully installed and working within the hour. We needed a very simple model, as we have a disabled son, and this fits the bill perfectly. Quiet, powerful and thermostatically controlled. It gets a lot of use in our busy family household and the fact that we have opted for Mira again says it all. First time with Plumbnation but the experience was as invigorating as the shower itself!
