We've got a Mira and it's not bad for an electric. The other shower is just basically a mixer that heats at the boiler. It's like standing under a water cannon. Lol

We've had Triton and Mira. Both are very good, Mira is better.

Hi,

Azora is a good shower and looks good. The other option is the Triton Inscriptions range which has a few different colours in the range from white glass to black granite and these are pretty slick. Other than that I can't think of any electric showers around the same sort of price that are funky, since they always seem to be white or chrome. Check out an online bathroom retailer and look at some pictures. I've used IQ Living before and they have both models to compare.

Firstly if you are using existing wiring, check the rating of the cables FIRST before you buy a shower as it may overload the wiring, i have seen this twice, very easy mistake to make, if your just wiring it up from scratch use the good stuff as you won't have to replace the wiring later down the line if you buy a better shower. As for showers I bought a Mira Sport, I went into B&Q and looked at a few, found the best one they had, noted down the model number and went onto Kelkoo, saved myself over £100 quid.
