We didn’t keep this showe
We didn’t keep this item but only because our electrician bought one but we highly recommend Mira
Says what is does on the box. Easy to use, looks good.
Happy with the product. Fitted by a plumber who had it fitted in no time. Looks very stylish and we’re pleased to have a shower without the temperature fluctuating! Bliss!
We’ve used Mira showers 3 times now and have never been disappointed.
Fab
Easy to install where old shower had been. Covered exactly. Only 1 new screw needed. Shower head wonderful with different settings. Hit water just about instant, so no hopping about waiting fir it to warm up. Just love it. A vast improvement on the old shower, which was a Mira Sport. Boost makes some difference, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Enough pressure without it. Would definitely recommend this model.
Opposite to Trito
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.
Excelle
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
Lovely Showe
This was bought to replace our old Mira shower which was used every day!
Mira sport max shower..
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
Very efficient and easy to fit.
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.
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.
Miracle sport max
Great shower, nice high pressure, needed professional fitting as totally different to old triton I had
Shower In Style
Excellent shower , great control and super quick in heating up . Easy to use controls and nice design would highly recommend.
Very good showe
I had a Mira sports max shower for a few years without any problems and have now updated to this new shower found it easy to install using a qualified electrician and very happy with this.

Modern look
Nice large head just wish there were more jets and a bit more powerful.
Like the desig
Fantastic
This is the second one we have bought really good showe
Not great but still a good showe
Not very well built, the front cover does not fit the shower correctly, I have tried 3 different units and found that this was the same on all of them so this is a manufacture default.
Great showe
Great shower, the air boost is really useful when washing your hai
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.
Decent showe
Easy to install, could do with more pressure, You’ll either hate or love the air boost feature & I love it. Temperature control Ive found is alright if you adjust temperature dial fractionally.
good shower for the money
It’s a good shower and works well for us. Was a bit fiddly getting it routed but really very easy as these things go. takes a little time for the temperature to get steady but it’s not bad.

ITS A MIRA
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
Excellent quality with improved performance over previous model
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!
I would have no issues recommending this model
We purchased this shower for the new en-suite. It’s exactly what we wanted. I believe we do have a decent water pressure and this shower is excellent. Nice and powerful and its not affected when other taps are open.
It feels so much warmer than my old 7.5kw shower as turning up the temperature doesn’t completely kill the flow! Fitting is straightforward if a previous shower pipework is in the same locations too.
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.
Good value
I have been using for a month. It has been reliable so far.
The shower works fine. The temperature control is not as fine as I had expected but once set seems to hold the temperature well. Of note is the fact that this is a higher rated current device than a 7.6W shower so you may need to upgrade the electricity feed to the shower unit. Also, the same duration of shower will cost you more with this unit than a lower wattage (obvious if you think about it).
Other than that, it was relatively easy to install as a replacement for my previous (Mira) shower unit and I would certainly recommend it.
Reliable brand.
A reliable shower. I have had Mira Sport showers previously and have never had any issues with them. Easy to install where old shower was taken out. Good water flow.

We bought this shower because our Triton failed (would only deliver scalding hot or freezing cold water) and we’d had a Mira in one of our previous homes. It was easy to install – I called a plumber who did it for us for 30 – bargain! Good shower but I wish we’d gone for the more powerful version; however we couldn’t do that because the existing wiring wouldn’t support it. It does the job though and is good value for money.
As expected, very good quality and easy to install. Just needed to add a compression elbow joint and a small length of 15mm copper pipe to connect to the existing pipework that had a Triton shower with push fit connector. Fitted over the same area as the old Triton so previous holes drilled through the tiles were completely covered. Gives ample hot water and the air boost system definitely works giving much more of a power shower feel. You need to change the riser rail and use the hose and shower head supplied as they have the air hose running internally to provide the boost function. Mira have thought of everything as the riser rail wall connections can easily be adjusted to fit into the existing holes drilled for the previous rail. A competent DIY’r should be able to fit in half an hour.
It was so easy to install
This item is so much better than the older version its just grea
We decided to buy the same newer model of shower as we had bought in 2005. This one has a better looking shower head. Just hoping that this one will last as long as the previous one. We were looking forward to trying the boost function button which is a new addition to our old shower unit. I think its a bit of a gimmick and don’t bother using it for the majority of time, its very noisy as well. A negative for the new shower is that the hose seems shorter than the other hose we had. I am happy with the shower in general though
This shower is powerful, modern looking and perfect for everyday Use
Love the power, modern line and ease of installation. Simple to use range of temperature controls with eco filter. This sleek shower was replacing a 30 year old Mira sport shower!!
Stylish
Bought this for a customer, they are very happy with it.

Another great product from Mira.

mira showe
great shower ,got as replacement for my old mira shower new updated version brilliant -easy to install good price and quick delivery very happy.
Fantastic shower -Great value and built quality
This shower is fantastic! Although our plumber did find it a bit difficult to fit, it works fantastically well and I would highly recommend it.
Very happy with my purchase, I had the the 2012 mira sport max before this and it went straight over with one extra hole to be drilled. No mess no hassle, works perfectly fine and just as powerful as the last one, plenty of options to play around with to find the perfect flow
Very good
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.
This shower is the best electric shower I have ever had, actually I have been so impressed with it I have just replaced it with the identical model. Why change something when it’s perfect. It is quiet, really important when you have a small bungalow and work early shifts. It has a max boost which feels like a hot jet of water on tired bones. Go for the ’10 W’ it’s worth the extra power. Yes it’s expensive but my last one lasted 8 yrs until the thermostat went so thought I would replace due to safety because of age but the hose, head and arm still look as new so saved those until they need swapping over. Worth every penny. When it comes to a shower you definitely get what you pay for.
I really love this shower, I’ve always used Triton, won’t go back to them now. This shower has a lower operating pressure level compared to the Triton, and that is a big deal for me as I live in an area where there is low water pressure and the air boost tech it has, wow. Tops marks from me. The LED lights look cool in the dark as well.
It works well
I found it easy to fit and its working really well
Good power, easy to install and easy temperature control.
Pretty good power was sceptical about moving to electric shower but it’s a good job.
powerful showe
ot cheap but worth paying the extra money for a more powerful shower. Feels very refreshing .
This was easy to install as I was taking out a Mira (over 10 years old) but the wiring and pipe work were in the same places. This unit did have one fixing screw in a different place from the old one but had a slightly bigger case so the old unused hole was covered
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
I bought this secondhand, but unused and in the box, so I certainly cant argue with the price I paid. Was very easy to install and fit. All the functions work as stipulated in the manual, and although not the most powerful of showers, it certainly gives a nice shower and does it’s job. It also looks very nice once fitted, looking expensive. Once you have set your temperature, it keeps at that said setting, so not had any shocks with the odd annoying hot or cold spurts during my shower like my past showers have given us. Would certainly recommend this product.
Great shower 👍
Great quality shower and love the air boost function! Thank you Mira
easy to install replacement for old Mira Sportmax
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.
Looks great and works well
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.
Gòod shower when it is working
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.
Simply brilliant.
I got this shower because of our low water pressure. And it’s absolutely amazing. The whole family love it.
Excellent showe
We upgraded to this shower very recently, we went for the 9kw version. The pressure is very good, particularly with the airboost feature.
The shower head is a really good size and it has a high quality finish. Would definitely recommend.
Great product , air boost function is fab.
Very impressed with the power of this shower , looks great and easy to install.
Definitely the best electric shower and the right choice for a wet room installation.
Excellent service
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.
Powerful and ho
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!
Great replacement electric showe
Great replacement shower. Easy install, good temp and flow control.
Great shower, a big improvement from our old model. The airboost function is loud but does make it feel like you have better water pressure so is useful overall. The temperate is regulated pretty well, you can tell when someone suddenly turns a tap on elsewhere as the temperature will rise but the shower responds and regulates the power accordingly (after a short delay). This, plus the adjustable power levels, makes it a pleasure to use. Would recommend
This is a great shower the best I have ever had I previously had triton showers which I had problems with the temperature fluctuating all the time with this one it’s absolutely perfect I love the air boost function gives me a great showering experience. I would recommend a professional to install it though as the services come in from the opposite side to the triton showers so I had to move pipes and electrical connections which took me quite some time but it was well worth it in the end.
To summarise it’s a bit more expensive than other showers but worth i
Slimline, modern and attractive powerful electric showe
Have had several Mira showers in other bathrooms and all reliable and trouble free
Definitely recommend Mira
This one looks great- sleek and modern
The output flow is good for an electric shower but buy the 10.5 kw to get this output. We replaced a 8.5 kw shower and had to have the electric supply cable upgraded by an electrician. Well worth the extra work and cost.
Excellent product. Have used Mira showers for decades.
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.
Satisfied Custome
Replaced a previous model which had stopped working. Very pleased with our purchase.
Best pressure shower for my home ever.
Love it. Big shower head, love the pressure from it. Very pleased with this product.
amazing showe
Love this shower,if you want as close as you can get to a power shower without fitting one this is the shower for you
Good shower good price
Very happy with my purchase, plumber fitted it in an hou
The best Mira shower so fa
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.
Mira showe
Looks really nice. Showerhead can adjust to give a different flow. Great shower. Love it!
Good quality shower, but airboost is completely pointless and noisy.
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.
Easy to install and an excellent shower for the money. It was a replacement for my old Mira shower which was over 10 years old, so if it last as long I will be very happy.
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.
Air Boost Fantastic!
Best electric shower! Works well and Air Boost makes a real difference!
Having had 2 Mira Sport 10.8kW showers previously, I was happy with the performance and quality of the brand. This particular model is better than the ones I had before. The controls are very easy to understand; it has an ‘Eco’ setting which is quite adequate in warmer weather, and the usual ‘low’ and ‘high’ settings. Where it scores extra points is for the additional ‘air boost’ facility, a separate button which intensifies the force of the shower.
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.
Great Showe
Best shower, powerful, quiet, easy to control and install and about 40-60 pound cheaper than stores. Safe to say, we have 2 in the house now
So far so good !!
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
Good name good showe
Great shower and good pressure, especially like the air boost make a big difference
Good Quality
Good value for money product, easy to install, hope it lasts as long as previous Mira.
Fantastic Showe
Fantastic shower
Easy to install
Excellent water flow & features including the air pump feature
Shower head is a good size with 4 function settings
Overall an excellent upgrade from the old redring that died
I am not sure what to think about this shower. I had a mira azul before – fantastic shower initially but went downhill and after 5 years the thermostat had gone. I was reluctant to try another mira but thought it might be easier for plumber to install the same make so I went for this one. It’s great to have a shower back but the azul was far better initially. There’s also been times when the temperature is too hot/cold and it can be difficult to get the setting right. Small movements on the dial seem to make a big difference on temperature. For the price, if expect better temperature control. However; generally nice shower – the airport feature is lovely and do happy to have a shower back. I just wont be happy if the quality doesnt last like with the azul. I have had this shower a couple of months so far.
The shower we had was awful; so bad, we thought we had a problem with our water pressure.
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.
Cracking showe
The air boost makes a big difference. Really pleased with this shower. Would have been better if it was multi-fit, because it was a pain having to move everything to fit it, but in the end I think it was worth it. Why on earth they don’t make all showers multi-fit is beyond me!
Refreshing.
This is the second time we’ve fitted this type of Mira, love the air boost setting, great shower, delivered on time. Deserves 5*.
I bought this to replace a Mira Sport shower that finally gave up the ghost after 18 years’ service. The electrician that fitted it only had to drill one additional hole in the wall and the water pipe and wires all matched up with no bother at all. For me that makes the extra money well-worthwhile as any aggravation when retro-fitting anything is MOST unwelcome!!! The shower works great and is more powerful than the old Mira Sport it replaced. 10.8 kW is a must if you have enough water pressure.
We researched loads of different electric showers and just by chance stayed in a hotel with a Mira Sport installed, search over and purchased online. The shower is now fitted which the plumber tells me was very easy and we are delighted. It is smart in appearance and functionally it has the Air Boost which is a nice add on, but the High setting is sufficient for our daily needs, two other settings are ECO and Low, even on Low the flow is good. Its not a power shower, but it is a decent shower and we have no regrets with our purchase.
Showe
Really pleased with it so far, The boost button as far as I can see works well.
Great showe
Great shower so far no problems, my only complaint was the shower entry point was opposite to the original shower. No information on entry point was shown prior to purchase.
No soap dish
Just got it fitted today, very happy with it, only thing I would say that there is no soap dish with it and couldn’t get the shower bad to stay up so I just got the plumber to put the old Mira bar back up, it will do for now but the hose is hanging ou

Have had this shower a year now and am so delighted with it. I used to have an old Mira which had such poor flow but this is amazing. The treat of having the extra air boost is lovely.
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.
Same templalte as original Mira Sport shower.
Switched my old ‘broken’ Mira Sport with this newer model.
All holes etc the same apart from one.
Really easy to fit when they use the same template. Good for me with very little DIY skill.
Replaced my Mira Sport with this new Mira Sport with Airboost. The water flow is better under normal use then when you switch the airboost on it is great. Best electric shower I’ve ever used. Only downside and why I only gave 4 stars is when the airboost is on it’s quite noisy but I’ll happily put up with the noise in order to have the power.
Five Stars
Really easy to fit and very good water pressure with the air boost.
Great shower. Easy to install if you READ the instructions and follow each step…as opposed to how I did it. I’m a Marine Engineer and assumed I knew it all. Arrogance is time consuming 😀
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 🙂
Perfect replacement for my Mira Spo
Perfect shower and delivered quickly – installed same day with minimum of fuss. Replaced old Mira and this is a lot sleeker. Good buy
happy enough
good shower… changed from a cheaper 1 ..(crap) quite happy with mira… airboost i like… wife dont like the noise… but… typical.
My old Mira sport gave way after a long life so i replaced it with a sport max 10.8 kw its even better than the old one and i only had to drill one hole at the bottom the rest of the holes lined up and wireing was a breeze. The air boost does make a differance all be it a small one but great for a rince after shampooing your hair it is a bit noisy but not over the top. It arrived very quickly and instructions that came with the unit are clear. Well recomended
Getting used to the larger spray head as my last Mira was smaller which I had for 12 years. It’s a stylish looking shower and is great to have the boost button.
Bought to replace a 17 year old previous model of Mira Sport. Fits with all the previous connections and looks neat and modern. Works well and I was able to fit it myself.

We had the predecessor, 10.8kW unit and apart from one of the three screw fixing positions which required a new hole, it is easy to fit. The air boost feature is good and the flow and temperature is still adequate.
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.
excellent and the price paid was excellent also. Very pleased with the produc
