Rank #2 in Best Electric Showers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the kW Claims That Don't Add Up
Mira Azora 9.8 kW Thermostatic Electric Shower
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Mira Showers Azora 1.1634.011 is the runner-up in our best electric showers guide. It is a thermostatic electric shower rated at 9.8kW, finished in frosted glass and chrome, listed at £328.99 with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 360 ratings. That price is the highest of the listings discussed in the guide: the Triton Collection 2 (B00BYWSGIQ) is £165.99 and the older 8.5kW Triton ASIN is £189.49.
The Azora is also where the guide's central complaint about kW numbers does not bite. The Triton Style 3 and Triton Collection 2 both say 9.5kW in the title and 8.5kW in a bullet; the Mira Azora says 9.8kW in the title, 9.8kW in the first bullet and 9.8kW again in the item type. The mismatches in this listing are elsewhere: the star histogram adds up to 100 (78 five-star, 14 four-star, 4 three-star, 4 one-star) against a stated 360 ratings, so it reads like percentages rather than counts, and the spec table lists Number of Handles as 3 and Colour as Blue while the finish is given as Chrome. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it stood when we saved it — we have not tested this shower.

Questions people ask
What power output does the Mira Azora 1.1634.011 have?
The listing gives 9.8kW in three places: the product title, the first bullet ('Mira Azora 9.8kW Electric Shower 1.1634.011') and the item type name, which reads 'Azora Thermostatic Electric Shower'.
How many customer ratings does the Mira Azora have?
The listing states 4.6 out of 5 from 360 ratings. The star breakdown shown alongside it totals 100 (78 at five stars, 14 at four, 4 at three and 4 at one), which adds up to a percentage split rather than a count of 360.
What warranty does Mira give on this shower?
The manufacturer warranty description reads '2 years manufacturer warranty.' One reviewer describes a thermostat fault that Mira's engineer would not accept during the guarantee period, so the number and the experience are both on the listing.
