Gainsborough 97554041 Electric Shower

I bought this to replace the exact same model, which had given up the ghost after nearly 6 years of daily showers with hard un-treated water. It is one of the cheapest in the range, and fantastic value for money. One simply turns it on adjusts the temperature and, well, takes a shower. The previous appliance worked perfectly up until the day it died, and all the butons and dials (one of each to be exact) showed no signs of wear and tear, even the head height adjuster was in as supplied condition. The hose was changed once, that was all. I couldnt fault the old one so this exact fit replacement was just the job (no neet to re-tile the shower). This model works just fine on the wiring in the house, so remember the higher rated models need the correct wiring, but honestly, this unit provides ample flow with hotter water than a man needs, and the girls are happy with it too. In summary this is a well made easy to use product that provides lots of hot water with good flow rates, and represents excellent value for money. Hope this review helps; I'd recommend it any day.

As a budget shower this one is great. Easy to install and reliable it isn't the hottest or most powerful but if price is your guide then you could do a lot worse.

My last Gainsborough shower broke but saying that it got used ALOT! Bought like for like and works perfectly. Good price for this item delivered on time and in excellent condition.

Unbelievable service and a really good product for the price. When my shower broke down I ordered a replacement at 10.30 am on the thursday morning expecting to wait until after the week-end. The shower was delivered at 10.05 the next morning and the old shower was removed and new one fitted by 11.00 am. The square shape looks better than the old oval one and was easy and quick to fit with no alterations at all. Thank you Amazon for the service and thank you Gainsborough for the great product.

Easy to install. This was bought as a direct replacement of my previous Gainsborough shower (8.5 SDL, which lasted 10 years). The pipes and even the screw holes for the back plate were all in the right place, which resulted in a nice neat job afterwards. The shower itself is noticeably more powerful than the old one in terms of water flow, and also makes the water hotter than the old one did. On the old shower I had to put the temperature up to max in winter (when the incoming water is colder), however on this 8.5 se then the max temperature setting is only for the ladies. Guys, you know what I mean. The build quality seems comparable to the old one, so I am hoping this one will last 10 years also.

Deeply disappointed - just had our new shower professionally fitted only to come to the end of the fitting process to discover the shower attachment to fit to the shower head to the shower riser is missing! Not acceptable, it is designed to be mounted to stand under and now this is impossible to achieve. Would not recommend as it is a complete waste of time and money!

Fits the layout of pipe work and electric in my bathroom so easy to fit which is a good thing because the thermostat doesn't last long so needs changing every 15 months

This is a simple and efficient machine. Excellently priced, good temperature control and an attractive product. I am delighted! Having put up with an outdated shower, needing to be turned off with pliers(!), this has changed my life.
