Rank #2 in Best Electric Showers 2026: 10 Ranked, Wattage Claims Checked
Mira Azora 9.8kW Thermostatic Electric Shower
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the Mira Azora 9.8kW thermostatic electric shower at £328.99 — second in our guide, and the most expensive unit in it by more than £130. It carries 4.6 out of 5 from 360 ratings, and its Best Sellers Rank of 29,541 in DIY & Tools (172 in Handheld Showers) sits very close to the £165.99 Triton's 26,985 (161), so the price gap is not reflected in the sales ranking.
The reason it takes the runner-up spot is the point this guide keeps returning to: in this category, wattage claims often fall apart between the title and the bullets. On the Azora they do not. 9.8kW appears in the product name and again in the first bullet, no second wattage figure contradicts it anywhere in the listing, and the same listing names its Item Type as an "Azora Thermostatic Electric Shower". What the listing does get muddled about is smaller and worth naming: the Colour field says Blue, while Finish says Chrome and the title says Frosted Glass/Chrome, and the star breakdown shown covers 100 of the 360 ratings, with no 2-star entry at all. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from a shower we bought and tested.
How those 360 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Powerful spray. A good shower. Thermostat problems with the previous Mira shower during the guarantee period. Mira's engineer would not accept that there was a fault. The temperature was inconsistent for four years. Then it stopped working. Beware the Mira engineers.”
Verified purchase“Excellent shower bought as a replacement for the exact model which lasted years..”

Questions people ask
Is the Mira Azora really 9.8kW?
Going by the listing alone, yes. The name gives "Azora 9.8 Kw" and the first bullet repeats "Mira Azora 9.8kW Electric Shower 1.1634.011". No other wattage figure appears anywhere in the listing, so there is nothing here to contradict the 9.8kW claim.
Is the Mira Azora thermostatic?
The listing's Item Type Name is "Azora Thermostatic Electric Shower", and the bullets describe it as a Mira Azora 9.8kW Electric Shower. Beyond that wording, the listing does not say how the thermostatic control works.
How much pressure does the Mira Azora need?
The listing gives a maximum pressure of 10 bars. No minimum pressure figure is stated in the data provided.
What comes in the box with the Mira Azora?
The Included Components field lists one electric shower unit, a slide bar, a clamp bracket, a hose, a showerhead, an installation user guide and a warranty registration card — one item, one pack.
What warranty does the Mira Azora carry?
The listing states a 2 years manufacturer warranty.
What colour is the Mira Azora?
The listing disagrees with itself here: the Colour field says Blue, the Finish field says Chrome, and the product name says Frosted Glass/Chrome. The Translucent glass fascia with polished edges and the chrome controls are described in the bullets.
