Easy to install if you know what your doing the water pressure not that great but does the job
This is a fantastic shower for 63.70 at the ti.e of ordering. This was the cheapest shower on Amazon for what we needed. I hadn’t heard of the brand before, but will now consider Bristan in the future.
The shower is quite streamlined and looks good fitted. It’s also a lot simpler than the big branded one it replaced, with no separate power switch needed on the front.
The 8.5kw shower pits out reasonably good pressure and is silent in use. I’ve kept my old shower head as it was fairly new and I did t need a new rail. It’s somewhat annoying that showers come with these as I’d rather just buy the shower unit by itself, but this is no different to other manufacturers.
The push fitting was not what I expected. I had a screw fitting on standard 15mm copper pipe previously. This was easily remedied by a trip to the local hardware superstore and the purchase of a brass pushfit converter for around 2. This tightened onto the existing pipe and converted it to pushfit. It’s so easy to then fit. I’ll only be getting pushfit showers in the future. They simply lift on and off the pipe by pushing the fitting back in, but have a secure waterproof seal.
Overall, I’m really pleased and can definitely recommend this.
Easy to install with different options for pipework and electrical wire. Good value for money
Only had it working a few days but works fine so far. It’s basic but that’s fine at this price. I got it because it is very similar to the bristan bliss which I was replacing, with the water inlet position and screw holes in exactly the same place, making installing a doddle & no need for more drilling.
Only cold water or very hot water, I’m not sure if it’s the water pressure caused. That means no temperature adjustment.

Our 25 year old shower began to drip and needed replacing. I filtered for 4 stars and above and under 75 and it came up with this. My plumber said it wasn’t THAT easy to fit, because although it boasted left or right entry for the water, the power cable needed to be a certain way. The shower is efficient and what I like about it, is the fact that one can leave the temperature knob at a comfortable setting, and simply turn the water supply on or off – unlike my other one, where one got cold as the temperature control needed turning through cold to stop the water. I can’t recommend it enough, but we’ll see if it lasts 25 years!
Easy to install, I remember back about 10yrs ago when I installed the shower we had, brass elbows white sealing tape, no end of fiddling about , but this is definitely a good shower it was a replacement for a 7.5wt , being we had our wiring updated we decided to go for the 9.5wt a little bit more constant and more reliable for the pressure.
Its a shower, fit it, plumb it in and connect the electricity and viola! Water comes out, and, this is the best part, you can adjust the temperature

We had to get this as my shower turned itself off as I was washing my hair. But I decided to get this. I’m glad I did. This is so fantastic. The shower head is wide it covers your head brilliantly. You just don’t want to get out.

Not as easy to install as it says .had to get a plumber out to fix smaller pipe
Easy to install , looking good,
Was brand loyal to Triton due to existing fitting, however had to buy 3 triton over 6 years and had enough.
This looking good so far and the fitting was ok without any real hassle
Bought after our previous shower broke, great value for money and really easy for to install. Works well and does what it says.

Easy to fit, gives a nice hot shower comes with a big shower head aswell.
An upgrade to a similar Bristan shower so fitting was really easy. However for the average DIY’er remember the electricity supply is usually 32-40 amp. This kind of supply can give a nasty shock if not fitted with care.
As for the shower – The box was damaged as described but the contents were absolutely fine. I would look at the ‘referbished’ type descriptions again to make a saving.
This item is effective simplicity personified. Easy to install however check the entry points if you’re installing a replacement. It heats quickly and provides an abundance of warm water. I would purchase again.
Great shower, great price, easy installation, left or right feed
Bought one before fits exactly into existing shower unit. Great price as well thanks
Great shower for price. Fit in 30 minutes could do better with different shower head

Cracking shower would have preferred a copper compression tail for water connection otherwise performs well looks great for the price .
Easy to fix-uncomplicated. Using it half an hour after fixing. This is how showers etc should be-simple & effective.

We had this installed in our downstairs bathroom. There are more powerful models available but this was the most we could go to for the wires available. It works fine and is easy to use, it’s styling is simple and clean, and overall we are happy with this shower.
Good little shower, easy to install. Can sometimes struggle on very cold days.
It was great and quick to install, no problem , and only need a couple tools
Thank you

The only quibble is with the eco setting which just seems to deliver tepid water, so not sure what that’s all about – maybe for people who prefer cooler/cold showers. Highly recommended though!
Brought this in a sale so great value for the money, easy to install and powerful enough.
Excellent shower but very awkward to install unless you already had the exact same fitting beforehand

The shower has been installed for some time now and has proved to be very effective and reliable. Good product, good supplier.

Nice shower but not happy with the shower head flow
Cheap and cheerful, easy to install, looks a bit cheap but does the job! Works fine.
my husband hates diy but this item caused no distress
Looks good in the bathroom and does what a shower should. Uncomplicated, cheap, and so far (3 months) still working perfectly.
Two very minor quibbles:-
1. Two of the holes for the wall fixing screws are within areas surrounded by mouldings and it’s not possible for anyone with normal size hands to present the screws up to the wall plugs. The screws provided aren’t a ferrous metal so the magnetised screwdriver trick didn’t work.
2. The support rail for the shower head only has a wall fixing aperture at one end. As I bought the shower as a replacement I left the old fitting in place.
Great value though.
great product – worked in a hotel that got a few of these to replace the old ones. dont expect brilliant pressure as u gotta look at the power of the showe
Had the Shower for a few weeks now, it is easy to use and works very well. Good value for money and I have no hesitation in recommending i
