I picked up this 10.8kw shower on offer in Homebase for £58. At the time I wasnt too keen on its looks but having owned Mira showers before and with the price I knew I couldnt go too far wrong. Since then it has grown on me but a word of warning when it comes to fitting.

The inlet on this shower is a rotatable plastic pipe that requires a plastic push fit connector. Miras instructions state that it can be used for bottom top and rear entry because of this, mine was a new installation so I opted for rear entry to make things neater and cut the tiles as required to fit the pushfit connector. However due to its design the inlet pipe is very close to the left hand side of the shower housing so when mounted on the wall there is an obvious gap showing thart isnt totally covered when the top cover is placed on the shower.

The other issue with the rear entry option is that when the inlet is rotated the top of it is proud of the protective plastic shield that is meant to cover the pipework and wiring and requires you to cut a hole in this to accommodate it.
IMO if the inlet was shifted over to the left by about 10mm it would have solved one of the big issues I have with it and the sheild should either come with a bulge or a marked cutout to accomodate the rear entry option.
