Kito 9.5kW Chrome

The morning of having my shower area tiled my old shower died :( That was a Triton Trance 9.5kw. I bought this one as a replacement as it was Triton and 9.5kw, my theory being that the fitting would be easier as it was a similar spec. Well the electrician fitted it with no problems so that was good. We have low pressure as we live in a ground floor flat so there isn't alot of height between the water tank and the shower and all the previous showers have not given a very hot and powerful shower at all, more like a dribble. Well this one is FANTASTIC! It is really hot even when set at less than half power, and the pressure of the spray is much better than we have ever had before. It also looks really smart in the chrome finish and minimilist design. Overall I can't recommend this shower enough, only problem is that I can't get out of the shower in the mornings!

Brilliant shower looks good and a great shower very pleased temperature control is fine

My Triton Trance finally succumbed to scale after many years so I looked at the current range of showers to find one with the same pipe and cable entry points. After downloading many installation guides I found this one and can confirm that the backplate and almost all the internal gubbins are identical to the Trance. Screw holes were in the same place so it was a piece of cake to install. So, now it's on the wall what's it like? I must admit I wasn't too excited by the all-over chrome finish in the pictures, a bit clinical/industrial for my taste - but I have to say it does look good now it's in situ. Our bathroom has white tiling all over and that reflects to give the chrome a lighter feel that I'd expected. What I hadn't considered was that being chrome the whole thing is a slightly convex mirror. It doesn't steam up either. So if you're not replacing an existing shower, have a think about its position vertically - you could exaggerate or reduce your proportions to best effect - get it wrong and you might want to keep your back to the wall :) I like the three buttons which are flush with the main body and the little leds look good too. I liked the Trance, but it did have a couple of annoying things which I think this one has corrected. Worst was the riser rail - on the Trance this started to corrode in no time, I think it was aluminium. This one is heavier so I think it's stainless steel and hopefully will stay shiny. Also I never much liked the lever to adjust the height of the shower head. This one has a button instead which both looks and works better. Another small irritation was the way the temperature dial had nothing in the way of a pointer so you could easily see the setting. Instead, it had numbers printed around the rim of the dial, rather than the front face, which you had to line up with a marker underneath the dial. But since it stuck out about 3cm, you'd have to kneel on the floor to see the marker - unless you had installed the shower above eye level. Bad design. This one has a dial with a raised marker, which points upwards at normal settings, so you can see the setting at a glance before switching on. Finally - a plea to all shower manufacturers. Many purchasers must be buying a replacement for an old one, like me, and won't want to re-tile the whole room - so why not standardise the pipe and cable entry points, even the physical size and mounting holes, as a template? I appreciate you'd need several templates, but no need for almost every shower to be different, surely? And why not include somewhere in the product description a list of older models that have the same template. That would have saved me a lot of time.

Great seller and amazing Amazon service as always! Got second shower free! Because first one i bouth had issues with over heating water

This electric shower is very efficient, and very durable.

This was a very straightforward fit for me. It replaced a similar model (Triton version for Wickes). I like the fact that the pipework can be internally installed, rather than exposed pipes. The bottom corner comes off to facilitate easy access to pipe connection for positioning and tightening. This can then be snapped back on. Plently of access to have the cold supply come in from above or below. Shower works brilliantly. Good shower head. Only complaint, the hose is a little on the short side.

Product is good, no problems installing as was v similar to our last one which lasted 8 years. Unfortunately we had problems with delivery - despite me being on the phone an my husband being at home the drive dropped the parcel at a different house in the village so we had to retrieve it.

Arrived very promptly. Good value for a classic film. Very pleased.

En remplacement de l ancien qui a duré 15 ans, je précise que la douche est dans la chambre d amis, donc ne fonctionne que occasionnellement. L installation n a pas été simple, il faut ajouter des pièces en laiton sur les sorties en pvc, ensuite le bouton de réglage tournait dans le vide, bref le plombier a réussi l installation. 4 étoiles parce qu au final c est un plaisir de prendre une douche grâce à ce petit appareil.
