| Gainsborough | Satin Chrome 8.5kW Electric Shower | Absolute rubbish, stay away from them. The one we had, the thermostat burned out within 4 months. Rang their customer service desk, they said they would call their technician and he would phone us within 2 days to arrange a time to come and sort it. A week went by with no call. Rang back and which ever idiot dealt with the first call had not passed it on the technician. Anyway one eventualy came out and fitted a new thermostat saying that the original ones had a fault and could not do the job intended, however this new one would sort things out. Within 2 months the new one has gone we are stuck without a shower waiting for a technician! | | Ripped off | 14/07/2006 09:08:59 |

| Triton | White Shower Tower | I own a TRITON SHOWER T100E ELECTRONIC since 1986. Two years ago (after eighteen year) a small electronic problem was promptly solved by myself, in conjunction with Triton technical department. Needed to replace an electronic card and after so long, it was possible to replace it without any problem. No doubt, it`s the most reliable eletric/electronic device I ever own, since the quality of its components are as new after 20 years. I strongly advise TRITON SHOWERS wherever you are. The fact that I am in Portugal was not a problem, to get assistance from England, since unfortunately there is no representative here.

| Gainsborough | 2000x 10.8kw | We have had this shower for 5 years, The water temperature can be very hot (when wanted) or cool, as desired. The water pressure has always been good too. Afters five years of daily use the shower has burnt out and needs replacing, but over all for 5 years we have had excellent service and value for money (£70 / 5 years = £14. annually. May be other people who have not had hot water had it installed badly ????? | | S Wellsbury | 01/06/2003 13:06:13 |

| Gainsborough | 2000x 9.5kw | I have had a Gainsborough 2000x fitted for the past 7 to 8 years. It is starting to be a bit temperamental so I was thinking of replacing it with another. This is the first fault we have had with the shower and that was why I would buy another one. | | Anon | 02/03/2006 10:24:54 |

| Gainsborough | 2000x 10.8kw | We bought this shower just under four years ago. We needed a powerful shower to meet the demands of a large family. There are three head types - power, needle and 'full-on'.
Excellent shower - quick, regular hot water and can be used with a combi-boiler.
Problems have recently occurred - it looks like the elements might need replacing (or maybe a new shower?). We expected a longer life span for all the parts on this particular shower - but when it works it's good! | | Nick Powell | 26/10/2002 14:17:00 |

| Gainsborough | 2000x 10.8kw | My shower only goes hot or cold... or tepid. When hot, it`s much too hot! It may have just died, though. There is now a leak under the heat exchange cannister. Can it be fixed?? |  | David | 17/08/2006 21:01:45 |

|
| Showerforce | 1000 plus | As already commented extremely noisy, powerful, and yet again the dial broke after a short while. !!!!!!!!!! | | Nick | 29/07/2006 21:38:42 |

|
| Essentials | manual All-in-one | I bought one two years ago. The flow control knob eventually slips on the spindle and has to be replaced. I wouldn't buy another one. | | Disappointed | 26/07/2003 05:18:51 |
| |
|
| Gainsborough | 2000x 9.5kw | My Gainsborough Impulse has also broken - the boss that supports the idler gear (controlling the water flow) on the front panel is pitifully inadequate and has written off the shower in under two years. Other than this the performance has been very good. | | Rob | 11/07/2003 13:13:34 |

|
| Showerforce | 1000 plus | yup, same problem with us, the dial has broken again after only 3-4 months of use. Powerful but noisy (to be honest the noise level is not really a big issue) but the way it eats the dials means there is an obvious design flaw that the manufacturer obviously cant be bothered to resolve. Cant agree more with the saying that you get what you pay for. Wont be getting another one. | | phil, kent | 25/01/2007 09:25:25 |

|
| Gainsborough | 2000x 9.5kw | Can only agree with the previous comments to hot in the summer and to cold in the winter. | | Steve | 07/12/2006 17:56:41 |

|
| Gainsborough | 2000x 9.5kw | I have a Gainsborough energy 2000x, up until the start of this month ive had no problems with it, it seems as if the thermostat has gone on it, the water is far to hot for normal showering this does not change when I put it to cold, when I put it to the medium setting it is then too cool its impossible to get a comfortable temperature. | | Hazel | 23/08/2006 13:24:27 |

|
| Showerforce | 1000 plus | We bought a house with two of these fitted. Both knobs were broken, however I called Showerforce and they sent two replacement knobs free of charge. | | Peter | 08/08/2006 21:03:03 |
| |
|
| Essentials | manual All-in-one | The Control knob becomes difficult to operate. Lifespan approx 2 years. Would not recommend.

| Triton | Power Shower | The temperature knob cracked within months, the shower head holder broke, and the the shower itself broke within 18 months... Very disappointing quality | | Ramin Baghai | 02/12/2004 13:37:44 |

|
| Gainsborough | 2000x 10.8kw | We bought this shower about a year ago & some of the parts need replacing already, However they are impossible to find. Very hard to get the right temperature even in the summer. | | Nikki | 26/03/2003 11:35:48 |
| |
|
| Triton | T100si | This shower is okay when it works however reliablility is a problem. The thermostat control and the element have both broken within 2 years of purchase, and as the second was out of guarantee it is not worth fixing due to the price of new parts and installation. | | Carlos | 03/12/2002 08:16:13 |

| GAINSBOROUGH | 9.5kw electric shower | Had previous shower Mira Adavance for over 10 years. This `Gainsborough 9.5kW Electric Shower` didn`t even last 10 weeks, same as previous review heating element faulty. You are advised never to use a different shower head as shower will not work properly, so stuck with cheap bog standard shower head which came with product. Not impressed. |  | leasmaci | 08/01/2007 15:34:07 |

| Gainsborough | Satin Chrome 8.5kW Electric Shower | had a gainsborough shower for about 6 months - water pressure is now non existant, barely dribbles out of the shower head. Looks like the heating element is bust. would never have another | | Anon | 02/01/2007 09:31:58 |

|
| Gainsborough | Satin Chrome 8.5kW Electric Shower | Moved into a new place which had this shower, within 3 weeks it`s burnt out. I doubt there`s a warranty as I have no receipt.
After reading reviews, looking for a different brand. Probably go for Triton. | | Julian | 07/12/2006 17:56:51 |

| Gainsborough | Satin Chrome 8.5kW Electric Shower | I bought a gainsborough 9.5 2 x years ago, after 12 months it burnt out so i bought another one again lasted another 12 months hence looking for another shower. Not recommended at all. | | Paul S... | 01/12/2006 15:02:07 |

| Gainsborough | Satin Chrome 8.5kW Electric Shower | Bought one of these December 2005. Went wrong in March 2007 and was replaced by B&Q; and refitted. This one went wrong in July 2007 and I complained to Gainsborough who sent another one with an engineer after waiting for a week. This one went wrong after only three weeks. The fault was the same everytime; the thermostatic control of the water flow. The company spokesman denied this was a design fault on every occasion. I sent back the old units to Gainsborough and demanded compensation because I was by now fed up with this shower and bought another shower made by another company which so far is working fine. I was awarded £75 compensation. Original shower £110.00 Fitting of 4 relacements £40 Cost of new shower £113.00 Work it out for yourself!!! DON`T BOTHER WITH THEM.

| Gainsborough | 2000x 9.5kw | Terrible - too cold in the winter and dangerously hot in the summer. Not sure if its anything to do with the water pressure in my flat but from reading other reviews I would say its a fault with the shower... | | Denise | 14/07/2006 09:08:55 |

| Triton | Marbella | Having just had another cold Shower : - Worst ever product I have bought. On day one the pressure release valve ( a cheap looking bit of plastic with about 50 pence actual cost with postage £7.50) released. This isn’t covered by the warranty so at about 10% of the price is a bad start. It currently runs hot for 3 minutes then goes stone cold for a while after which it comes back to hot. Probably a faulty thermostat. The actual shower head and bracket are badly designed. There is a good chance of the head (too heavy) falling on to the head during showering. The replacement will be from a different company. For light relief go to the company web page and read the technical help page. | | my22234 | 12/01/2004 17:56:32 |

|
| Triton | Power Shower | Triton Showers are plagued with problems, if you like spending over £20 a year on pressure release devices that are not covered by the guarantee buy one, but you will be very disappointed if you do. There are lots of good shower manufactures out there pick any one at random, they will be 100 times better than Triton guaranteed. | | Tony | 13/11/2003 12:07:55 |

| Triton | T80si Zante | Trust me to rely on someone else's opinion of what a decent shower is. My bathroom was fitted with the 8.5kw model in september 2003. How dissappointed i was. This shower basically spits at you. The temperature control works well, but when set to give you a decent warmth - the flow rate dramatically drops. And to obtain a decent temperature (this is in the summer remember) the temp setting must be set to its high ** setting. The dial then set mid-way provides a comfortable warm-hot result, but the flow rate is poor.
I would describe this as a barely adequate shower, and if you enjoy something that throws water at you endlessly.... then definately do not buy this product. Tom. Liverpool. | | poor performer | 03/10/2003 07:12:44 |

| Showerforce | 1000 plus | We own a showerforce power shower and I think its a very basic products becuase it struggles with water output and the hand knob/hanle has broken twice in one year. But showerfoce customer services have sent us one without any questions asked which means they must be familiar with this problem. I will give showerforce 1000XM 2/10 for quality but 8/10 for price compared to other products on the markey. | | Shazia | 07/11/2005 13:27:35 |
