Bon rapport qualit prix dans son ensemble. Par contre, c’est vrai qu’une fois qu’on arrte l’coulement de l’eau.. quelques secondes ou minutes plus tard, il y a un lger dbit d’eau qui coule d’une seule traite. En ce qui me concerne, mon cordon de douche a lch aprs quelques mois d’utilisation: le revtement plastique a explos (il prenait l’eau de l’intrieur). Je pense que ces petits dfauts s’expliquent par le fait que ce soit une entre de gamme de Grohe.
La ducha es estticamente bonita, cierto es q algunas piezas son de plstico pero el tiempo dir su durabilidad, por el momento, todo en mi bao ha sido marca grohe, a ver lo q dura, ir modificando la resea con el tiempo, lo q si es cierto, es lo q dicen del agua, no es q la ducha reduzca o no tenga presin, es que son productos pensados para el ahorro de agua, te enjuagas perfectamente pq reparte bien el agua, solo q no notas la presin en el cuerpo como con otras y eso hay personas a las q no les gusta, nada ms usarla lo not, pero despus record q en las caractersticas lo deca y la verdad mientras me enjuague bien y ahorre unos euros, para mi no en inconveniente, hay q mirar por el agua
Par contre, arrter aprs la douchette, pose problme. On dirait que le robinet “glisse” un ou deux millimtres trop loin et cela engendre un coulement via la douche !
Il faut obligatoirement “jouer” avec le robinet avant de voir cesser tout coulement superflu.
I’ve had a few Grohe items before and never been disappointed. Saw this and put it in my wishlist for later while looking for showers. Later I saw it was available cheaper as a returned item and bought it.
All the parts were in the box as well as the instructions. Now it’s fitted I have no problems with it. The handle shower is good for moving around your body or the overhead shower head is great if you just want to stand and relax. Temperature control is very good with no variation so all in all I’m very pleased. Would recommend.
Passt super. Trotz einer Krpergre von 1,85 m geht es sich gut aus. Wer grer ist, knnte Probleme haben, da es nach oben hin nicht mehr Spielraum gibt.
Bedienung ist einfach.
Kopf- und Handbrause knnen nicht gleichzeitig genutzt werden.
Nur zwei Strahlarten bei Handbrause, jedoch dafr mehrere Stufen.
Von mir eine klare Empfehlung
Excellent rendu final. A noter que les crous du mitigeur permettent de rattraper sans problme 2mm d’cart entre les sorties d’eau du mur. Donc pas besoin d’utiliser des renvois habituels pour se connecter au mur.
Attention quand mme au trou pour fixer le tube avec la pomme de douche, cela se joue au mm prs pour emboiter le tube sur le mitigeur sans avoir d’interstice entre les deux. Il vaut mieux faire un montage blanc, marquer, pius percer. (utiliser la graisse silicone fournie pour dmonter ensuite l’emboitement sans prendre de risque l’user).
Il est dommage que la douche avec le flexible offre un dbit d’eau extrmement faible. Il a fallu changer la douchette pour retrouver une pression qui permet de prendre une vraie douche pour le reste l’quipement et bie
Sobald Mieter Grohe” lesen ist das Badezimmer hochwertig.
Produkt ist top. Immer wieder gerne!
Parfait, montage ras, juste pour info la fixation d haut et fixe, elle ne coulisse pas sur le tube.
Me gusta su diseo. La nica pega es que despus de su uso, al cabo de un rato gotea algo de agua de la parte superior. Por lo dems contento, aunque su precio vale.
All’inizio era un po’ scettica, ora entusiasta.
La doccia funziona bene, i materiali sono ottimi (a parte le plastiche che potrebbero essere un po’ pi di qualit visto il costo).
Molto utile la possibilit di bloccare la temperatura, in modo da avere acqua costante alla stessa temperatura, senza scottarsi.
La consiglio – se poi la trovate in sconto da prendere assolutamente!!!
A viter si votre eau est trs calcaire. Laisse beaucoup de traces
Le pommeau pluie est trs bien, l’autre plus classique.
This is second purchase of a Grohe product. Well built german product easy to use. Slightly on the expensive side worth it if its in your budget.
Deux bagues, une au niveau de la pomme de douche et une sur la douche Pluie du ciel.
Tout va bien maintenant, la pression est revenue.
Buen producto, GROHE siempre es calidad. Precio acorde al producto. Fcil de instalar y con instrucciones muy claras.
Contento con la compra. Aunque ms caro que otras marcas, el acabado y la durabilidad marcan la diferencia.
Nun, wer mehr Qualitt mchte muss auch mehr ausgeben. Man kann sowas auch fr 600-800 anstatt 259 kaufen.
This is high quality shower unit. The shower parts have some weight to them so you know they’re made from quality materials. You often get a lot of cheap chrome plated plastic but this is the real deal. It’s not the simplest installation so you’ll want to get a plumber in unless you know what you’re doing. It works well but the water pressure from the shower heads could have done with being a little stronger.
This grohe shower comes well packaged in a smart box with full instructions. It is advertised as being “Quick fix”. We swapped our old shower for this one/ like for like and we found it easy and straight forward to fit. The quality is fantastic- straight away you can feel the weight and sturdiness of the materials. It also comes with a 5 year warranty so proves that it is a good build. The shower has both an overhead and a smaller hand shower. It is well designed with standard fittings.
I’ve had to wait a couple of weeks for my brother to install this unit but holy cow was it worth it. It looks absolutely stunning in our freshly tiled bathroom and the rain feature feels incredible. No harsh sprays or blasts of jet powered water just a gentle and quiet waterfall of warmth! Simply divine!
The chrome finish looks very modern and sleek. I think it’s more than worth the money honestly, it feels as good as it looks.
This review is for the Vitalio Start 250 Cube GROHE Thermostatic Shower Column, Exposed 250 mm, Chrome, 26696000.
You may have noticed whenever you go into a good 4 or 5 star hotel they generally use GROHE bathroom fixtures. Now there is a reason for this.. which is, they are seriously top quality products. If you think about how much they get used in a hotel room and they just keep going.
This product is fantastic. Seriously well made and excellent quality. From the packaging and by just opening the box you will be pleased.
I have replaced a similar style product I had in my shower with this and I must say this is amazing. Just by turning the on/off valve you feel the quality.
It has 2 modes, a flexible shower head and also a rain fall style head right above your head. They both work faultlessly and provide an invigorating shower experience.
The whole item is easy to clean and looks amazing.
If you have not understood the message yet.. this is a great top quality product and I would absolutely recommend.
BTW it is a bit pricey but in the long run it will save you money as others will likely break down (especially the thermostatic elements) and this comes with a 5 year warranty.

IMPORTANT
=========
Thermostat mixers are designed for hot water supply via pressurised storage heaters and, utilised in this way, provide the best temperature accuracy. With sufficient power output (from 18 kW or 250 kcal/min), electric or gas instantaneous heaters are also suitable.
Thermostats cannot be used in conjunction with non-pressurised storage heaters (displacement water heaters).
We have a similar shower installed in our bathroom and this one was meant for my mom as she is forever battling with temperature in her shower, so once we had ours sorted, hers was a must. We did try to DIY ours and failed miserably, so with this one it was straight to the plumber.
He claims it was very straightforward to fit and is a good quality shower. Mom has been using it for over 3 weeks now and is very happy with it, so it’s safe to say we can most certainly recommend it.
I have other GROHE fittings in my home and they are extremely well made and last for ages, they are not cheap, so if you are looking for a cheap shower column, then this is not for you, however, it is a false economy, as you will just end up buying another one in a short time, so financially, you may find that you spend more.
I had this fitted by a qualified plumber and it works excellently, the downward facing shower head feels like a rainfall and the smaller shower attachment is also very good. The water on/off for both shower heads glide very smoothly and the metal is highly polished chrome, there is a feel of quality to the column.
I am very pleased with the thermostatic control, some of the cheaper units tend to break down quickly or don’t work very well, with this GROHE, it is perfect, it does not matter if some one is having a bath or using the water, the temperature will stay constant, this is why you are paying a bit more.
So overall a good German quality shower column, a trusted name and it lives up to its reputation, I have no hesitation in recommending this shower column and have given it five stars overall for quality, build and value for money.
A thermostatic shower is a must have in my opinion! The way it works, is that it has a valve that regulates temperature to make sure that a constant water temperature is supplied. Why is this useful? Well… If someone in your house flushes a toilet or opens a tap, you might have noticed that this affects your water pressure and temperature… With the pressure decreasing and the water suddenly getting very hot! A thermostatic shower protects you from this!
A shower at this price point is no joke, so I got a plumber to install this for me to ensure it was perfectly setup. It looks great, but is quite minimal! The product page mentions an optional shower tray that you could purchase – I woudl recommend getting this! You can find it for just over 20 on other websites, and it fits the aesthetic of the shower (as well as literally fitting well). Sometimes it’s nice to have your shampoo at easy reach.
The shower works great and I’m very happy with it! The handheld showerhead only has 2 modes, but they’re both pretty good! You can of course always switch this head out for one with more modes in the future should you wish.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic quality shower unit and I’d highly recommend it!
This thermostatic shower column from GROHE is elegant and sophisticated in its simplicity.
The quality of the build is there for all to see, there are no sharp edges; just well-contoured surfaces that oozes class. It works well too, the shower handle and the overhead rain spray moves without squeaking and the adjustable gilder slides up and down effortlessly when you need it to.
With a well-machine piece like this shower column, you will probably need professional installation as I did, a plumper friend said it was actually straightforward installing it.
Once installed, the main shower column offered constant and even water flow with the right temperature every time.
The resulting water flow is soft and soothing without being harsh and prickly.
Overall a very good shower thermostatic column that looks every bit as good as it is.
