Is that an invite? Can I bring the wife and kidsIt never ceases to amaze me when I’m in the UK to see your incredibly complicated showers!
Here we have simple thermostatic taps that automatically mix hot and cold to the desired temperature, with no box, no electricity.
I never quite understood how British bathrooms work!
Come to France and behold the sheer simplicity of our plumbing!
When taking apart a Mira shower valve that started to leak after 15 years i agree with you there is very little inside the valve and the recent excel shower unit i replaced after 26 years cost about £360. On the other hand cheapo combi shower units can be purchased for less than £100. The only problem is no cheapo spares when it fails in a few years and hole centres of pipes coming through those expensive tiles are in the wrong place.It never ceases to amaze me when I’m in the UK to see your incredibly complicated showers!

Er… so what? Still can’t get the point.Look at the specs carefully, our Mira Aqualiser is rated down to -0.5 Bar.
Similar here, an Aqualisa Visage power shower with pump in loft. My plumber mate who installed it comments it’s a hotel quality shower whenever he stays, a combi version is available too if I recall. He also says he installed easily accessible isolation valves saying many miss this when they’re installing but can save a world of grief for problems or replacement in future years.If you mean are they the same thing, then not quite (although they both need an electric feed).
Electric is a shower that heats the water. It just has a (mains pressure) cold water feed.
Power shower just has a pump, and requires a hot and cold water (low pressure) feed.
Both types can be thermostatic or manual.
But as you say, neither are what you are after.
I agree with the surface mount comments, burying pipes in walls is fine unless something goes wrong. The Aqualisa Quartz uses the raiser rail as the water feed (with the pump/control in the attic), so looks uncluttered, despite being surface mount.
Around £400. The reason Ive ordered the Mira is the claimed performance on low pressure systems. Apparently the Mira Excel is one of the best performing valves for low pressure (without going to a pumped system). I cant confirm or deny that, just what I have researched.Similar here, an Aqualisa Visage power shower with pump in loft.

Question for the smart folk, does the pipe work make a difference for those reworking their bathrooms ie. 15mm or 22mm, I can’t remember this aspect.
Mil46 you didn’t actually say how much you were looking at, I paid £300 for the pump version of the Visage at the time!
Er… so what? Still can’t get the point.
You must have a Mira thingy (as you call it) otherwise how do you control the flow and/or temperature when you have a shower? In its simplest form it’s a valve to control those two elements… you must need them in France?The shower systems. The pumps. The Mira thingy. It serves no purpose I can understand in my own context.
