Digital Mixer Shower Votes Please!

kitchensink_2

Hi all. We are currently having our 2 bathrooms done and our plumber has recommended installing one pumped digital mixer shower and one thermostatic mixer (we have a gravity fed system).

The problem is i'm not sure whether to choose the mira platinum or aqualisa quartz. Both showers seem to get good reviews. I have read a long thread on here about flow rates with the aqualisa but this was from 2009 and to be honest it was a bit above my head...

Any thoughts about/ votes for either shower would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

ps we are thinking about a mira element for the other one?!

Mira platinum, good for the money when compared to separate pump and valves. I generally buy from Doble bathrooms and are always better priced than my trade suppliers

I've got the Mira Vision, which is the same as the Platinum but a different controller. Our previous mixer shower came out as a bit of a dribble but this is an excellent piece of kit and I never have to have the flow on greater than half (Eco) setting.

I have just had my bathroom done and have a Mira Vier digital shower and it is fabulous.

Thanks everyone for the replies - really helpful

Visions can be bought at trade suppliers for less than the platinum . Platinum is classed as a showroom product hence trade retailers can give less of a discount. Both exactly the same other than controller

did you buy this one from the bathstore? it looks like the only place that stocks it?

Platinum every time. Looks a nicer display

Vier and vision can be bought from plumb centre but doubt public will get a better price than doble. Usually take around 10days to arrive from doble

Yes I did - I bought everything from them. However I did not have their installers because they quoted £5K. I used a neighbour that is a plumber for a fraction of that!


I just had to wait about 6 weeks because he was busy.
