If you feel like you have a handle on life, there’s nothing like trying to use someone else’s shower to remind you that you are basically a monkey whacking a coconut against the floor trying to get in. Some showers have so many dials, knobs and buttons that it looks more like the cockpit of a plane rather than something to wash the filth off.

The Mira Advance Shower has been designed in such a simple, intuitive way that anyone can figure it out first time…even with a hangover. Joking aside, there is an important reason it has been designed this way and that is to ensure people with limited dexterity, impaired vision, hearing, or vulnerable users can use the shower safely and efficiently. This electric shower comes with useful safety and navigational features for ease of use and claims that it will outlast the competition thanks to the best in class Mira Clearscale Pro technology.

The easy to use control is comprised of a central loop handle for temperature control and a large button to turn the unit on and off that doesn’t depress much. The Mira Opti-flo Pro provides a consistent showering experience no matter what the shower pressure is: the temperature can be set to four different maximum limits to prevent accidental burns, whilst the extra-long slide bar allows for easy adjustment for a wide range of heights with a friction grip shower head holder. There is a clear, audible beep to indicate when the unit is turning on/off or has reached the desired temperature and an audible click with each turn of the temperature dial. The unit’s phased shut down also ensures all hot water is flushed from the tank, making it ready for the next user. There are high contrast visuals on critical touch points, this means the bits you interact with are black in order to stand out from the otherwise anti-glare matte white construction. The large 110mm shower head also offers an expansive spray area with a choice of three spray modes.

The Mira Advance is a well thought out piece of kit that provides an enjoyable shower experience with a whole host of useful features to ensure safety and functionality, particularly for vulnerable or elderly users.  RRP £307.50
