Replaced similar one which has been used daily for the past 12 years, did great service !!
New one very easy to replace existing fitting , Note it only works on low pressure water supply !!
but works very well
It is a very smart unit and works well.
Installation was ok. Not sure about the filler pieces to cover unused pipe access cut-aways. Not much to retain them.
Unfortunately this unit had a problem that the internal hose clip was not tightened and so it leaked. A squeeze to tighten it solved the problem but this did entail removing the cover again.

Eas to install with push fit connectors pipes from above or below
Fitted this in place of a manual version originally fitted approx 20 years ago. Good upgrade and simple enough as it replaced an almost identical item.
I bought this to replace an older model and so far it has performed excellently. The only point that I am not so impressed with is the factory setting for the hot water. The controls range from 1 to 9 9n the dial but you only get hot water from 7 upwards so what is the point of the other 6 settings? I had to override these settings to move the control dial so that I can get warm water from 3 upwards.
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.

Bought this as a replacement for my existing one which has given good service for the last 10 years. Recommended
Order this to replace one that had been in for years and had burnt out, easy to put in works really well
We bought this to replace our original Mira shower which we’d had for 21 years. Having been delighted with our old shower up until recently, we wanted to replace like for like and bought Mira. The shower is easy to operate and the spray is very powerful.

This replaces the Mira Essential power shower in case anyone is wondering , it has exactly the same fittings, measurements etc.
Great little basic shower for our needs.
Shower is great better than last one I had which was a triton. Well impressed
easy to install.minor pipe alterations from previous shower(old gainsborough ps1200).but noiser than previous even though previous one was approx 20 years old.but works well.
does what it says on the box. fairly easy to install. much quieter than my previous power shower.
We have 3 power showers in our house and this mira vigour is definitely the best of all. Easy to fit,
nice shower head action up and down the bar, gives a soft, powerful but quiet spray.
My preferred shower of the 3.

Nice quiet shower unit for use where water pressure is low.
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.

Ordered a shower through Amazon had a few problems with leaking but Mira solved it !
Shower is great!
We bought this to replace an identical shower that had started to leak within the housing. Hopefully we won’t have the same problem with this one. It’s too early to say so far. Although it’s a risk we went for the same model as it has the same footprint. No need to move pipes etc to instal it.

Good value. Could be the answer to low water problemd
Got someone else to install it, so can’t comment on that.
Haven’t really used it but once it was installed and was shown how it works seemed to be working well.
I bought this as a replacement for an identical model, which failed after nearly 7 years of use. The guarantee only lasts about six months and I think that is a fair innings for a motor driven shower in a hard water area. I f you have an anaemic gravity fed mixer shower that needs replacement this is a great solution that delivers a good power shower . There is also a slightly cheaper manual version but I recommend the thermostatic control model as it saves fiddling around with the controls; set once and its done.
Pleased with the buy and good arrived quickly and were well packaged. The shower is quick to fit on the wall although that was because we were replacing an older, clapped out version. Our hotel guests tell us that the shower works well so that is all we wa

Cheapest price I could find as well as the quickest delivery for a direct replacement for a like for like Mira shower. On average this shower lasts us 4 years so well worth the money.
This was to replace an old Mira Event shower which had stopped working. This is a good replacement however the shower head holder is shorter than the old one and so new holes would have to be drilled in the tiles. We left the old holder up as it fitted ok. Seems to be a bit louder than the old one but has good pressure and the plumber fitted fairly easily as the pipe work was similar.

my old shower after 20 years packed up, tried everywhere for a powder shower some places were expensive, even screwfix where out of stock.
Just logged in to Amazon type up shower and this model is available and a bonus for next day delivery.
quieter than my previous shower..
Well happy

Perfect shower that dose what it’s advertised.
A good solid choice of a no nonsense produc
I bought the shower unit to replace a faulty unit I fitted years ago and was easy to fi
These small Mira power showers are the perfect companion for my Rayburn.
A remote cottage with a lowish pressure private water supply. This little gadget boost the flow from my tank brilliantly.
Fantastic product and no hassle service
Ordered from Republic of Ireland
Will recommend and use agai
Purchased this as a replacement for a Mira unit installed 16 years ago. The plumbing connections were exactly the same as the existing unit. The difference was the mounting hole centres fortunately the slightly larger housing covered the existing holes.
One note of caution is to make sure you understand the action of the pushfit connectors (I didn’t) the fittings push down not levered up.

Pleased overall, nice and powerful. Only small Criticism is that it’s quite loud.
A really great shower for the price .great power and not that noisy
Easy to fit. Gives a good spray of water even at half the full pump speed. Runs a lot more quietly than the Triton shower it replaced. Good value product. Highly recommended..
Previous Mira shower started malfunctioning after 13 years of use for at least two showers per day – easier and better to go for a replacement rather than replacing parts. Product chosen as it was an identical installation with piping and power already in place. Working fine so far, have noticed that you do have to turn the temperature control up higher than the previous model, no problems though. Don’t see the point of the enhancements on the much pricier models.

This was a replacement for one which had got really noisy and a replacement motor was way too expensive so was cheaper to replace
Best by far
Great pressure easy to use and install
Mira 5 star
Great value
Easy to install and works well. Good value for money.
This shower was a replacment has my Triton had seized up. It was easy to install, The controls are mutch better than my old one .The packaging was excellent Would recomend.
Overall good product, not top of the range , but functional.
If being critical I would say the temperature adjustment is not wide ranging
Bought this to replace an old valve shower that we have had for years but has always been low pressure and can’t believe the difference. Wish we’d bought one years ago.
Excellent instructions make this trivial to install. Even easier to use and it looks great. Highly recommended.
EXCELLENT ALL ROUND PRODUCT. FITTING WAS EASY, JUST REMOVED OLD SHOWER AND THIS ONE FITTED STRAIGHT IN WITH PUSH FIT CONNECTIONS. QUIETER THAN THE LAST ONE AND POWERFUL. RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A QUALITY SHOWER AT A GOOD PRICE.
Shower was just as described, it was a straight swap for the old shower and was easy to install. It is powerful and operated great, well recommended.
very good shower, works extremely well and easy to install
Excellent shower as expected. Used to replace old shower.
Fitting was easy
Great shower excellent power bought it to replace a Mira event it’s a spare room so not used that much so went for the vigour as it was a little cheaper and I’m delighted with it.
I,m so happy with mira shawer
I was looking for like this meney years.
Is my opinion five star is not enough 100 stars we have to give for it.
This shower is great for the price giving your shower that boost when you need it without breaking the bank. If you are a keen diy person its easy to install.
Liked the first one so when it broke(lasted over 5yrs 4/5 showers daily)replaced it with the same one,easy to fit same size great value for money
Our Second Mira Vigour Thermostatic shower. Great product if you have a hot water tank, good power shower.
Great unit best power shower and I have had several over the years would recommend
Great product for gravity fed bungalows as it gives you a proper shower. However the design when using rear entry pipes and the fact that one of the screws has to be screwed in behind the pipes clearly demonstrates that the designers did not talk to installers! Fingers crossed it works for years to come.

This outperforms more expensive showers.
It was recommended by the plumber.
Easy to install, easy to use and provides simple flow and temperature adjustments.
excellant shower replaces the manual vigour that gave excellant service for many years
Replacement for our 14 years old Mira shower, excellent price, plumbing and electrics fitted existing foot print, couple of hours latter all done and ready to rock, although a little quieter than the previous power shower.
Replaced mira event xs. Very good shower. Event was 14lit and vigour is 12 lit flow. But really cannot notice the difference. Very good shower. Mira event lasted 10 years. Hope the vigour will last long too. Not very quite or very loud.
Arrival of product .. Right on time! Very happy with it.
To replace old Mira, easy to install an the unit lined up with the original holes, so no need to make more and make good. Easy life. Good shower.
Bought to replace a Mira event power shower and certainly did that perfectly. A quality product.
My new flat generally has rather low water pressure, but this thing belts out water at a great pace. Had someone fit it for me, but seemed to be a relatively simple task.
Installed by my pet plumber. Gives a good powerful supply of water which is easy to control. Two gripes:- 1, the minimum flow is more than I expected, I would be happier if it would run slower before it switched off. 2, the flow control wheel would benefit from being easier to grip. As it is, it is shiny plastic and slippery when wet. As for the noise, well it is by no means silent in operation, but I have nothing to compare it with. Doesn’t seem to annoy the neighbours though or wake me up if my wife goes for an early shower.

Its fine but fitted into mounting points, plumbing etc of previous Mira power its slightly wider overall and in the small shower where it is, its a very tight fit for 2-section concertina-type door in open position.
Fitted several of these last few years. Great performance! much better than electric shower! if you are able to have one!
My husband says it is a good shower, but the shower handle keeps slipping in the holder when any power is used.
This shower seems to work well, with a choice of three settings on the head. My local plumber installed it for me, so hopefully dealt with the problems noted by other users.
Excellent value. Excellent pressure. Excellent thermostatic control. This replaced a Mira Event which had more adjustments to the angle of the shower head which I miss. Apart from that I am very pleased with the purchase. The plumber fitted the unit for 25!
Very nice looking shower , does exactly what it says it will do. Very pleased, just needed an plumber to put it up.
Replaces a 3year Mira model, same size, shape, attached to the pipework like magic. 20 minutes job done hot clean. Refreshing
Love this shower it has great options for speed and heat. Sadly I moved house so no longer have this shower but given the opportunity would certainly buy it again for my new house. Fully recommend it.
Sleek, attractive, easy to fit, simple to operate and excellent power. A value – for – money shower I heartily recommend.
It’s not unduly noisy – you can hear it on the other side of the wall but not loud enough to be intrusive.

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!!
Power showers cannot be used with a combi boiler but I have a condenser boiler. You do have to draw the water from the hot water tank, so unlike an electic shower, you need a hot water feed as well. This required plumbing by an experienced tradesman so factor this cost in when comparing showers. If you have a tiled bathroom, as most people probably will, be prepared to ‘make good’ any displacement of the tiling. Hopefully, you will have retained a few spare tiles for just such an eventuality.
It did take some time to plumb in but it was time well spent. This Mira shower is stylish, attractive and, above all, very efficient. Personally, I find I have to have the temperature at or near the maximum but that is a personal choice. Early days as yet but I am delighted – and cleaner – by the purchase.
I did need to check a technical issue with the sales support team at Mira regarding the minimum gravity feed from the water tank to operate effectively (800 mm). The advice was helpful, reassuring and right!
Can thoroughly recommend – but do your homework first.
