Bristan CHE85 W 8.5 kW Cheer Electric Shower - White

This is a fantastic shower for £63.70 at the ti.e of ordering. This was the cheapest shower on Amazon for what we needed. I hadn't heard of the brand before, but will now consider Bristan in the future.The shower is quite streamlined and looks good fitted. It's also a lot simpler than the big branded one it replaced, with no separate power switch needed on the front.The 8.5kw shower pits out reasonably good pressure and is silent in use. I've kept my old shower head as it was fairly new and I did t need a new rail. It's somewhat annoying that showers come with these as I'd rather just buy the shower unit by itself, but this is no different to other manufacturers.The push fitting was not what I expected. I had a screw fitting on standard 15mm copper pipe previously. This was easily remedied by a trip to the local hardware superstore and the purchase of a brass pushfit converter for around £2. This tightened onto the existing pipe and converted it to pushfit. It's so easy to then fit. I'll only be getting pushfit showers in the future. They simply lift on and off the pipe by pushing the fitting back in, but have a secure waterproof seal.Overall, I'm really pleased and can definitely recommend this.

This has been installed a few weeks back and it works great. The one thing to mention is that this model is similar to the previous one I had as I didn't want anything too different from what was previously set up.The temperature control is on point, however the one thing is -and I think this applies to all electric showers rather than just this one - that the hotter you want the water to be, the lower the pressure becomes.However, the colder you want the water to be, the higher the pressure. Boggles the mind really and I don't understand why that happens but there you go.Other than the water pressure due to temperature conundrum, it fits the previous shower placement without a problem and would recommend this if it suits your previous setup but always check with a plumber who will be able to tell you whether this suits or not.

Only had it working a few days but works fine so far. It's basic but that's fine at this price. I got it because it is very similar to the bristan bliss which I was replacing, with the water inlet position and screw holes in exactly the same place, making installing a doddle & no need for more drilling.

Last installed a shower about 25 years ago and remembered it to be a complete pain. Wow, how things have changed. One push on water connector, with a multitude of entry points possible and an electrical connection, which was just like wiring a plug. Had it all done in about 20 mins, of course this was swapping over from a broken shower, so the pipework etc was already there. I'm not a plumber, more a DIY bodger, but managed it easy.Looks good in the bathroom and does what a shower should. Uncomplicated, cheap, and so far (3 months) still working perfectly.

There was an identical shower in the house when I bought it six years ago so it had plenty of use and if that isn’t a recommendation as I’d no idea how old it was, then I don’t know what is! Overall great value hot water in seconds what more could you ask for?

Great value for a 9.5Kw shower. It features multiple options for water pipe entry and a large recess for the electric cable, hence positioning as a replacement unit is made easy. Additionally, the water connection is push fit so fuss free for a DIY'er.Two very minor quibbles:-1. Two of the holes for the wall fixing screws are within areas surrounded by mouldings and it's not possible for anyone with normal size hands to present the screws up to the wall plugs. The screws provided aren't a ferrous metal so the magnetised screwdriver trick didn't work.2. The support rail for the shower head only has a wall fixing aperture at one end. As I bought the shower as a replacement I left the old fitting in place.Great value though.

Easy to install, I remember back about 10yrs ago when I installed the shower we had, brass elbows white sealing tape, no end of fiddling about 😖, but this is definitely a good shower it was a replacement for a 7.5wt , being we had our wiring updated we decided to go for the 9.5wt a little bit more constant and more reliable for the pressure.

Proper rubbish just get the triton t80 easifit
