Mixer showers are more modern in design and tend to offer more advanced functions than electric showers (including digital options). The hose and shower head are easy to clean, so you’ll get consistent water/heat distribution. And you’ll have 5 spray patterns to choose from. As we’ve mentioned, Mira electric showers aren’t cheap, but they’re well known for being sleek and incredibly reliable.

Let’s start by making one thing clear: this isn’t the most powerful shower on the market. If you’re looking for an electric shower with maximum heat output, you need to head for the 10.5kW and 10.8kW models on this list.

If you have a combination (combi) boiler then you have a high-pressure vented water system. In this system your combi boiler, usually located in your kitchen, heats cold water from the cold mains supply as soon as you turn on the shower, removing the need for a storage tank. In fact, at my time working for bathroom/plumbing merchants, we sold a tonne of Mira electric showers). Installation AreaIf you don’t want to go full-on digital with something like the Bristan Bliss, but the Seville is a bit too boring, the Mira Sport Max electric shower offers a fantastic middle ground. And the fact it’s 10.8kW means that in terms of power, it is the best electric shower on this list. I curated this list based on my professional experience, combined with data from the Which? homeowners survey that asked consumers about their experiences. What kW electric shower do I need? It was bought as a second shower - as electric to be there when the hot water failed but it’s used daily as a choice - bo different to the shower off the boiler!

Electric showers take water from your mains cold water supply and heat it on demand, by passing the water over a built-in heating element. This means electric shower units are a great option for lowering your water and energy usage, as ours are 98% efficient. Mira electric showers are proven to last longer, thanks to our revolutionary Mira Clearscale™ technology. Included as standard, it reduces the build-up of limescale by up to 50%, resulting in a longer-lasting shower, and better performance for you. Learn more in our guide to buying an electric shower. So, now you’ve chosen your new shower, and it’s time to get it installed. But how much does electric shower installation cost? They work in a similar way to mixer and power showers, taking water from your hot and cold water feeds. But whereas traditional showers require you to manually adjust the temperature, a digital shower lets you accurately set it using the wireless controls. Who are digital showers suitable for? Digital showers are more expensive than standard mixer or power showers. In our latest customer survey we found they were less reliable than more traditional units – the more advanced technology means there’s more that can go wrong. What shower features are important?But their use isn’t limited to this sort of setup. Even if you have a high-pressure system that delivers plenty of hot water, an electric shower could still be of interest, especially if you’re creating a new bathroom. That’s because it’s often much easier – and cheaper – to connect a new shower to the existing cold water supply rather than rerouting hot water pipes. The water pressure in this system is generated by gravity and is dependent upon the distance the water drops from the cold water tank. So, if there’s little distance between your shower and your water tank then you’ll get low water pressure. Automatic shutdown – a safety feature that turns off the shower should either the hot or cold water supplies fail. Multiple heads / diverters – some showers combine a main large head with a small, manoeuvrable one that can be useful if you’ve got small children or pets to wash. A diverter valve allows you to switch the water flow from one head to the other depending on your need.

Is the electric cable running to the shower big enough? Triton recommends a 6mm cable for a 7kW shower, increasing to 10mm for models above 8kW. So, this feature doesn’t just improve efficiency and operation — it prolongs the life of the electric shower, too. What’s IncludedThermostatic protection – a thermostatic shower is designed to keep the temperature steady to within a couple of degrees, so they should prevent it from turning painfully hot and then numbingly cold if the mains water is used elsewhere in your home. Like the Bristan Bliss, the Mira Sport Max has a function that combats limescale build-up. The Mira Clean Scale keeps the unit, hose, and shower head mostly free from limescale. This means evenly distributed water temperature, a longer life span, and improved efficiency throughout its lifecycle. Who Should Buy The Mira Sport Max 10.8kW Electric Shower? This system is usually best suited to power or electric showers, although if you have good-enough water pressure then you could use a mixer shower. Cold mains supply There are 3 modes on the shower head, enabling you to get that perfect spray. And for easy cleaning, Bristan have made sure the shower head is “rub-free”. Price
