If you feel 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 it looks more like a cockpit of a plane instead of something to wash the filth off. The Mira Advance Shower has been designed in such a simple, intuitive way that anyone can use it 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 or 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 outstanding 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 ensure against accidental burns, 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, whilst the phased shut down 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 to stand out from the otherwise anti-glare matte white construction and the large 110mm shower head 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
