This is my 3rd Mira sport. Bought because it’s realiable. 6 people showering daily and on average only had to replace once every 10 years
I replaced a 15 year old Triton Belize with this Mira Sport. I didn ‘t realise that Mira have the water inlet on the opposite side (left) to Triton so had to re-do the pipe route. It must all line up perfectly! Once I had done that and used PFE tape around the olives and threads to stop leaks it all worked as specified. Great shower and wife happy with the Air Boost feature which works on all settings. Now to see if this one will last 15 years. If so it should outlive us both.
Bought this one to replace old one which was the same so only took ten minutes to install, love the extra power when you need it, although not needed during summer months
I ordered this shower to replace the old Mira Sport which has lasted 13 years. It was easy to replace , only one fitting screw was different and that was the bottom one which needed a new hole. I was pleased with the old one but this one is even better. Excellent water pressure and controllable temperature. Very efficient, I’m delighted with it. I hope it lasts as long as the old one.
Brought as a replacement for my other Mira sport max shower as it broke down,excellent shower,good price,quick delivery,good price,saved us trauling the shops,very pleased.would recommend
With the flow valve on our 2013 9.8 KW Sport Max starting to leak due to a split in the case, I decided to replace the whole thing rather than repair it due to its age. Had intended to get like for like, however I noticed the supposedly more expensive Airboost model was listing on Amazon 30 cheaper, albeit in 9.0 KW (20 saving over the standard 9.0 KW model), so I thought why not.
When it arrived I was pleased to see it was a direct swap, as the case fixing holes were in the same place, along with the electrical and water feed connection points.
Found an error in the instructions, as it indicated you needed to connect and test the water connection first, however on doing this water poured out the hose outlet. Found I needed to fully assemble it and turn the electrics on first before turning the water on.
Noticed while setting up this shower it runs far hotter than my 2013 model, maybe because its new; the old one needed to be on high to get to a decent temperature, whereas the new one gets there in eco mode. However the water flow with this airboost is noticeable weaker, possible to do with the required diffusers for the airboost function in both ends of the shower hose causing a slight restriction. The airboost function itself seems a bit of a gimmick too and a little noisy and not worth paying more for over the standard model in my view.
Therefore I’ve given the airboost 4 stars, as apart from the slightly hotter water temperature, overall its not as good as the standard model IMHO, so I’m glad in our case we paid less for it.
Amazing shower!! A professional trader recommended this to me as he has it himself and I have no regrets in following his advice! It is so much more powerful than my last shower and has sorted out my water temperature issue. Would highly recommend!!
Replaced a previous Mira Sport – only one new hole needed – all other fittings the same.
I had a Triton 8.5 watt thing previously, which was my emergency shower for when the boiler broke. That was awful, like being sprinkled with tepid urine, and so in contrast this was marvelous. I’ve since had the boiler fixed, and so have the shower from the combi working properly, at full pelt, but I still quite like this one. Okay, so in comparrison to anything that’s heated through the boiler or a tank, this doesn’t really compare, however I’m still using this Mira one more regularly than my boiler powered shower because it’s still quite nice.
I will say that the air boost is nothing more than a power shower placeabo – makes you think for a second you’re getting a little extra pressure, but once you turn it off you realise that all it does is interupt the pressure. It’s better without the airburst. I put it on occasionally, as for a few seconds it gives you the impression of a more powerful shower experience, which appears to be noise induced for the most part.
The shower head is good!
This is the 3rd Mira shower I have had. Very reliable
I replaced an existing Mira that was beyond repair (it never broke case cracked over time). The new shower fitted the existing water and power feed (Mira is very good on this) had to drill three new holes but covered by shower. The new shower is very elegant and works extremely well, bought the 10.8 KW model and the water output is much better than the previous 9 KW Sport. The air pump really helps with rinsing long hair as my wife & daughter will testify. A word of warning to make it work properly it must have the air pipe alignment part fitted on the shower end. When I installed I could not find it but as a checked the box the next day to register and save the instructions I found the part. I simple unscrewed the hose pushed the inner air line down and pushed the airline into the alignment part and screwed back in carefully to ensure a good seal and it worked brilliantly. My daughter has it on all the time as it increasing the flow and makes it a big hotter and the agitation works really well to rinse the shampoo and soap over much quicker. The shower head supplied is miles better than previous versions. Highly recommend this shower.
This is very good. I love the white light that comes on, when you press the on switch.
Not as powerful as my previous Mira Sport, but you get used o it.
I never use the fancy sport massage button, as i just think its something else that will break inside. but it does feel great on the neck.
I wold buy agai
It was easy to install and gives you a very nice gentle showe
We replaced a 20 year old Mira Sport shower with this updated model which performs extremely well when compared with our old one. Easy to fit with only one additional fixing hole to drill. Water and electrical connections have not changed over the years. Upgrade your old one or install as new. You will not be disappointed!
It’s the best shower we have had , even our Plummer liked i
I’m not convinced by the Airboost feature as it’s quite noisy so tend to keep it off. Otherwise it was a good upgrade for my old Mira shower.
Other than that, it was relatively easy to install as a replacement for my previous (Mira) shower unit and I would certainly recommend it.
Fitted in 15 minutes. Could be more powerful but that’s probably my water pressure. Overall v happy with i
Seems to be well made and is easy to fit and use.
Not convinced the air pump is necessary though as this doesn’t work well unless on the high power setting and even then questionable.
Excellent product. Very efficient, easy to install and very stylish.
it is a good little electric shower. Plumbed to the mains so no restriction on how long you can shower for. 3 settings but eco works well. The boost just pushes air through so makes it splutter but not really increasing flow. Flow is fairly low but that suits me. Nice large head and good riser. I dont like the soap tray and you cant take it off unfortunately. Otherwise it is very stylish
This is a great power shower for electric supply. The air boost makes a real difference. We have one in our en-suite for 3 years and really pleased so fitting another to our main bathroom.
This is as close as it can get to a Normal gas powered powerful shower with the use of electricity and normal flow – when using the air boost.
The one small thing I am disappointed about is this updated version detects water pressure and won’t start unless is detects that pressure, which is a safety feature but we used to run our shower from a pump and tank which meant however many other taps or toilet flushes took place the shower was unaffected. Unfortunately we are now back on direct feed which means these things do all affect the shower. There is an air feature that is meant to make it feel like there is more water being delivered but I feel it just makes it more noisy and didn’t notice the difference. This can be switched on or off so we just don’t use this feature
During lockdown it was difficult to contemplate being without a shower but a friend of my son found this an easy to fit replacement for our defunct 12year old mains connected shower.
Great replacement and improvement on what I had before. It will only be as good as your water pressure though if you do have a low water pressure don’t expect any high pressure miracles! The boost function is good to give you better and faster flow.
This is my second of the same shower in 2 years, I only hope that it last longer than 2 years. It is quite a powerful shower for an electric one.
I had a Mira shower before, but this lasted over 10 years.
This is are third Mira Shower .Best Shower You Can Get.
Very happy with this Mira Sport shower. It looks nice but I was a bit disappointed with the soap dish which looked cheap so we didn’t fit it. It was a replacement for one we had for 12 years I hope this one lasts as long.
Bathroom fitter recommended this shower. Our last shower was a Mira. I ordered it and it arrived a couple of days later. I had texts and emails saying when it was being delivered and a call half an hour before. Bathroom fitter had no issues. It looks nice. Only negative, when you turn it on it makes a bit of a louder noise for a couple of seconds.
Bought this to replace an old one (same model) which gave up after many years of use.
Easy to fit and is a nice powerful shower. The sports massage pulse is nice on tired muscles after a lung run. Temperature is easy to control and on high is very hot. Must be good shower as it’s our second one!
The best shower I have ever had! Went to electric as thermostatic showers with water pumps were causing me many problems in my home……excellent flow rate, temperature control is very good & surprisingly powerful too. Would thoroughly recommend.
To summarise it’s a bit more expensive than other showers but worth i
This recent but was too replace a previous Mira shower which wad fitted in 2000 … so the last one lasted 19 years!!!
Easy format to use.
Pull cord switch to turn on electric.
Check heat dial is where you still want it.
Then just press the chosen flow button.
I really like the simple heat dial which is so easy to use.
What I also really like is that I don’t need my glasses to see how to operate it!!! There is just a sizeable on flow button, a heat dial and finally an off flow button. Easy peasy.
My husband was able to fit it in under half an hour, which included taking the old one out, if you use a reputable electrician it shouldn’t really take them any longer!!! … unless of course, there is new pipework or electrics to adjust or install, but even then it’s all standard stuff, so an hour max, I would say.
Our order came promptly as promised. Excellent buyer/seller transaction.
I replaced existing mira. Did not mount the same but not too much of a problem
Great shower. Easy to function. Make sure you follow the commissioning instructions to get it to run properly. It has really boosted the pressure. We had a very basic shower previously and the pressure was rubbish. This feels much better! A bit noisy when running the boost feature but nothing we can’t live with.
Our old Mira Sport lasted for fourteen years and gave outstanding service to our family of five. My three boys are all involved in sport, and our shower was often overworked at times. I’m amazed it lasted as long as it did. This new shower is light years ahead of our old one, and we’re looking forward to years of good service from it.
Delighted with the new Mira Sport Max . I find the water flow a lot better than the Triton Shower I had previously.
I had to re-alien the water supply feed, as the old Triton shower water feed was on the right hand side of the shower.
The air boost is a good selling point, works well.
Good points, looks good, easy to fit, good quality and nice looking shower head. Works well. Reliable brand.
Bad Points. The airboost is useless and completely pointless, its just a gimic they use to sell more and its noisy so takes the relaxation side away from the shower. Would have liked a strong jet nozzle on the shower head instead of the rain storm one.
One great extra feature is that it has an air pump fitted integrally to give you an extra power boost that gives the feeling of a power shower. Mira are a very old established company that have always given me a good after sales service and would fit nothing else. They also come highly recommended by the trade.
No provision to connect a sump pump in a wet room
Price was very cheap compared to local suppliers. Mira showers are powerful and effective and reliable. Quality product.
This is a update for my old Mira sport.Very pleased with the new looks and if it lasts as long as my old one then couldn’t ask for more
I have given it 5 stars for ease of installation, although we had a plumber to do the job. He had no problems, and finished the work quite quickly. What seemed good to me was that the position of the fixings for the new shower were the same as the old one.
I would definitely recommend this shower.
So far so good … only thing I feel will cause a issue is the sliding riser that holds the shower head !! It doesn’t seem to stay where it’s put and slides dow
Nice shower. Had one previously, same model. Wanted same again but mainly because we wanted to cover the same space on installation. Good enough shower though. Lacks a bit of power and the airboost is an irrelevance but overall it’s a decent shower for the money.
Absolutely brilliant! Got this as a replacement for an older model and very easy to install. Very powerful and the air boost function is a nice gimmick.
A very powerful shower which needs the correct cable size for safety and performance. Surprisingly good even on the Eco setting, and the Airboost feature is nice, not just a gimmick
So, in comparison, this shower is the best electric shower you can get without investing in a power shower.
Good, strong flow. Plus, if you want to (I don’t feel it is necessary, but my boys swear by it) you have the added air boost – this seems to work best on the traditional shower head setting as opposed to the other choices.
Simple to operate.
Would highly recommend.
Delivered in good time. Well packed, nothing amiss. The Plumber fitted the shower very quickly together with a glass screen to the side of the bath. The Shower works well and easily controlled. The Air Boost button works well and increases the flow without altering the temperature, a good feature.
Its a very good shower with extra power. Easy to fit. We contacted the service department and they were very helpful too.
Great for long hair when there is no water pressure
Good shower not the greatest spray but does the job
Great product and great price. Plumber could not get the product any cheaper. Very reliable shower as we’ve had it now for a few months.
The older model I was replacing had adequate flow. Everything else in the new setup remains the same – all except the shower. And now, the flow really is poor – a shower in the morning no longer feels refreshing; it’s underwhelming to say the least. The “Air Boost” makes little – if any – difference. The flow seems low enough that the Air Boost actually makes things worse.
I’ve used a fairly basic method to test flow rate – a 1l measuring jug fills up in 13s, which means the flow rate is around 4.6 litres per minute. Apparently (according to Mira) this is fine – maybe a little lower than average, but not a problem as such (average is around 5l per minute, they tell me).
It it looks like I’ll need to get a shower pump on top of what was already a nearly 300 shower (at time of purchase), plus the additional cost of getting a plumber round (again) to install said pump. It’s a shame that there is such a difference between the older model and this new model – “newer” normally means an improvement, but sadly not in this case if my experience is anything to go by.
*UPDATE:
I was wrong – I had misunderstood how a cold mains pressure shower works, and I’d like to correct my review (and add a further 2 stars). My mistake was that in the time between our old shower failing and my having this new shower installed, winter is upon us and the temperature has dropped markedly. So, while I was using our old shower into the beginning of September, the incoming water was probably a couple of degrees warmer than now so the old shower didn’t have to work as hard to get the temperature up. Back then I was still using “Medium” setting (which I assume is the same as the “Eco” setting on this new model) and I was annoyed that the flow rate on this new shower seemed much lower than an equivalent setting on this new model.
I honestly thought “High” setting just meant “hotter” – I didn’t appreciate it had anything to do with flow rate. However I gave it a go on “High” but with temperature turned down low and the pressure was indeed similar to the old model (bearing in mind I was using the old model in summer on “Medium”).
Review thus updated to point out my mistake, in the hope that someone may benefit. The flow rate depends on a few things, including incoming water temp (and how much work the shower has to do in order to bring it up to a suitable temp): if it’s winter, then switch to “High” setting.
4 out of 5 because the Air Boost thing still doesn’t make much difference (other than being quite noisy), but it turns out the shower is pretty good despite my initial review (and it turns out I’m just a bit of a Muppet).
Really good shower. Best on the market in my opinion. Easy to install and is a recommended upgrade for any house. The air boost makes all the difference, when it comes to a quick morning shower.
Great for the money. I had shopped around for this model and the cheapest was here. prompt delivery service
Great upgrade from my old Triton and air boost a nice feature which works.
Temperature control is easy and it has been lovely this hot summer to jump in on normal temperature and just hit the eco button for a blast of cold water. I love the fact that you have four settings on the shower head so dependent on your mood you can have the usual flow or you can get a concentrated flow but then add the air boost to these and it makes it even better. I am on metered water so I dont feel guilty using the boost as I know it is not using any extra water.
I would definitely recommend this shower.
Brilliant shower. Looks good on the wall unlike most electric showers. Really really pleased with it. The air feature adds a little noise but is very effective. Going to replace our other shower with one as soon as possible.
We never had a Mira before and i must say it has been a fantastic buy..great power and pressure for an electric shower ..10/10
Had to renew the wire which fed an 8Kw Triton before with a 10mm cable and the pull switch.
To replace an old electric show you cant get better than this one. It will always be an electric shower. You’re not gona get near the throughput of a mixer but this is the next best thing.
Shower head is well made and provides a brilliant coverage setting which helps forget its not a mixer.
Airboost is a bit of a gimmick. Dont really notice much difference but my son thinks it makes all the difference 🙂
Word of caution, wall clamps a weak and can crack, even after perfect installation. Ours developed cracks about 3 months after installation.
Easy to fit and a strong jet with the air blower on.
Excellent shower for the price – plenty of burst even though it is only a 9kW shower.
Does what it says on the box, Airflow gives great spray for an electric showe
Good shower, maybe not quite as powerfull as expected but no complaints. Arrived very quickly.
Very good product good quality which has a boost button that makes the difference, very good service from Amazon .
Love this shower, the pulse setting is a great refresher and boost..highly recommend
So for the price that it was going to cost me to get my old shower fixed.. I bought a brand new one and got a 2 year warranty and I fitted the shower myself..
Even better than the previous version. The air button turns it into a power shower. Great price for a great shower.
Have had no issues whatsoever. Delivered quickly, bought from amazons second hand area. It had slightly damaged packaging, other than that was brand new.
Not sure the air boost function is actually worth i
Very good shadower unit however the sports max facility is not powerful enough to make a difference.
I can understand some of the negative comments on the manufacturer, as our previous unit developed a fault and required repairing but we found that they fixed the issue and we got about 8 years of constant heavy use from it, until the pump unit leaked. Rather than repair it we decided it was better long term to replace the whole assembly.
This shower taps off directly from the towns main supply and this gives us 2 independent shower units at home, so if we have a problem with the hot water supply or the header tank we have a complete backup. Hindsight is always a powerful tool. We would definitely recommend this to anyone.
