I have had the panel for about three months now. I am really happy with it. There are a couple of items worth mentioning I installed the unit in a typical construction grade tub/shower arrangement with curtain. This was a bit like installing a diamond in a piece of coal but my plan was to prototype a panel in the guest bath for eventual installation of a similar or nicer unit in my master bathroom. The net result is I now take all my showers in the guest bathroom. Why? Well, the panel has a temp gauge so I can easily see where I'm at when I get the shower warming up. I know what my best temps are for post workout shower and normal evening shower. I can set the faucet up and get exactly the right temp before I step in. Very cool. The panel looks great in the shower. It really looks high quality for the price. If you have hard water, be prepared to give the fascia a wipe down after your shower in order to keep it shiny. No biggie, takes me about 30 seconds. The shower head is a fixed spray but I love the rainlike quality of the shower. Water flow is very evenly distributed across the large square shower outlet and is just feels great without splashing all over the place. You could almost shower without a curtain. For those who want a massage effect you can use the hand held shower fixture which provides different spray patterns. The small spray outlets on the fascia work OK but I find them somewhat superfluous. Some people would probably like them. The install was a bit of a pain but that had to do with ancient plumbing at my place, all of which I had to cut out and replace. Good news is I was able to find all necessary parts on Amazon. Finally the shower fascia is like a mirror so you can use it to shave in the morning. There is a small flat area on top of the panel which is perfect for shaving cream and razor storage. Overall I am really happy with this shower and consider it a great value for money as of the three month point. Edit at the one year point. Still very happy have not remodeled yet but shower still looks and operates beautifully. Update 12/02/19 - well, I now have nearly two and a half years on this panel and it is going great. Couple of tips and lessons learned. 1. As mentioned in my original review. If you have anything but the softest water, invest thirty seconds of time to wipe the unit down after use. I do this and the darn thing still looks brand new. it is used a lot too. 2. When you first get the unit, pay special attention to the nut which holds the shower head to the panel. Mine is a little looser than I would like and I keep having the readjust the shower head pipe coming out of the panel. No leaks there but just an annoying adjustment. To fix this I will have to remove the panel from its brackets to get behind the fascia and tighten the nut. That is a bit of a pain so check tightness before you install. Overall I am still extremely happy. The unit continues to function perfectly. I intend to buy a second one to install in the master shower. update 08/11/23 Time flies!! But it does not seem to be flying for the shower panel. Still looks and functions like new. Couple more observations first, the nut to tighten the shower head pipe is not accessible even with the panel off the wall. As, mentioned earlier, not an issue leak wise but annoying having to tweak the orientation of the shower head from time to time. They probably have that fixed by now. The internal plumbing of this unit is the secret sauce IMO, All you need on the wall is a cold and hot water outlet. I pity those of you who have a behind the wall multi function valve. Heads up people, sooner or later you are going to have to replace this valve and it will cost a fortune. Do yourself a favor, buy a shower panel which includes the valve and plumbing. And reconfigure your bath to simply provide hot and cold water outlets (similar to what you see with a clothes washer). This way when something goes bad you can simply replace the panel and it will take you about 30 minutes AND the install will be FREE. You can buy one of the panels for the cost of two hours of plumber's labor, not that you'll have to because this thing is holding up beautifully after almost six years. 01/25/2025 - unbelievable. This darn thing still looks and works like new. I now have one in my master bath (black glass) and it works great too since 2019. I can not say enough re this panel. It continues to perform flawlessly 7 and a half years after initial install. WOW!! But, as I have said several times before, you must take a minute to wipe it down after your shower, otherwise it will begin to cake up with mineral deposits just like any other metal thing in your shower. When we finally remodel, these are going in without a shred of doubt. When my kids visit they ask if I am running a high end hotel... this thing still gleams...

I ordered this Shower Panel in Silver color. It is very mirror like. I finally got this installed in November 2025. It is now January 2026. I used a professional though I think that I could have installed it myself, but my plumbing was messed up by the previous owner. As my plumber started to look over the instructions and the Shower Panel, he warned me that these systems usually do not have a good water flow. and the components are frequently not up to plumbing standards. As he examined the Shower Panel, he kept pointing out how impressed he was with the quality of components that were used, specifically said that metal was used in the connections and that the hoses were mesh wrapped. When the installation was almost completed, the plumber checked all of the functions, which worked correctly. The thing that really surprised him was the water flow, pressure and temperature controls worked great, easy. He did seal the panel to the wall with clear caulk. So far GREAT value. easy to wipe up. No rust anywhere. Thank you for a fine product.

First, let me say that this thingy is really beautiful. To quote Penny (Big Bang Theory): “It’s HIGH techy-techy”. And functional. Yes, you can run virtually every nozzle at once but, unless your home plumbing system is hooked directly up to a fire hydrant somewhere, expect it to loose pressure in direct relation to how many spray features you activate at a time.. But the typical user will only use one or two features at a time in any event so it’s probably not an issue for most folks (our house water pressure is 40 psi for context). Install was straight-forward and quite easy. Just make sure you take really careful measurements. We were lucky to have had easy access to the back of the tub wall that really simplified things. BUT . . . there are several issues that you really need to be aware of: 1. Yes, you can switch the display from C to F. The directions given are poor but all you have to do is remove the cover of a small circular opening, approximately 1 in in diameter, held by two tiny screws – don’t drop them! You’ll need a microscope to find them! The opening is located on a plastic display mounting box immediately behind the display on the backside of the unit. Inside the 1 inch round opening you’ll find a pair of tiny DIP switches. Slide both switches to “ON” to set for F. 2. When I received my unit, the display wouldn’t work on battery (tho it did work with the water running). Naturally, I checked the batteries and they were fine, but the battery “ON” button on the face of the unit did nothing. I started tracing the wires in the back and found the small black connector on the lead to the battery box was disconnected at the wiring harness near the middle of the unit. Hazzah. Found the problem. Or not. While it clearly was “A” problem, it wasn’t the only problem. I then traced the wire back from the harness to the battery box and found, hidden in a corner of the box, a disconnected positive wire. It’s not that it had broken off of the terminal; it had never been soldered during manufacture. A quick session with my soldering iron fixed the problem and the display works fine now with the water not running. Clearly a one-off mfg error. Pressing the button with the water OFF will light up the display for about 30 seconds then shuts itself off – although I’m not sure why you’d want it on with the water off. Still, I paid for it and I wanted it to work!. (And I shouldn’t have HAD to fix the thing!) Display stays on continuously with the water running, without the need to press the button. Finally, on the digital display issues, at 90 deg. F, the color changes from a bright blue to a pretty dim orange. The description says it will switch from blue to orange or red. That’s fine. What it DOESN’T say is that when it does it will dim by perhaps 60 percent. It’s not so much that it’s defective; it’s just what it is. Not a real problem and the digits are still legible when orange – just really dim. 3. Note the size given is overall, and not the actual “footprint” of the unit. The size is given as 52"H x 10"W x 3.5" which is only SORTA right. The unit has a flat glossy black glass face (and it’s actually quite beautiful) that is, in fact, nearly at the given dimensions (height and width). BUT, (and here’s the issue), the SIDES of the unit are curved UNDER the glass face panel in a convex semi-circle, so the actual “contact footprint” of the unit on the shower wall is, in reality, only 8.5 inches wide by 49.25 inches high. Because the sides are curved into a convex semi-circle, they lift away from the wall as they curve out and up, then back under the glass face. The outward “bulge” of the sides, at their widest matches the width of the glass face, or nearly so, but the “contact point” of the curved sides, where the unit’s frame actually contacts the wall, is only 8.5 inches wide. This is a very important point, since many folks are placing this unit over old valve access holes in the shower/bath wall and want those holes covered by this new unit. If that spacing is any more than 8.5 inches, the old valve holes will show on the sides. Mine were spaced 9 inches from outer edge to outer edge. I covered the holes with small, thin metal “hole-cover” plates (available on Amazon, for example: “Danco 80830 1-3/4-Inch Kitchen Faucet Hole Cover” – there are many others). In my case, with only about 1/4 inch of each old hole showing on each side, the little bit of metal cover disk that’s exposed looks like it’s part of the unit. Height is also a potential issue. The “extra” height between my measurement given here and the published height (nearly 3 inches difference) is that of the glass face that extends about 1.4 inches above and below the frame of the unit, and it’s the FRAME that comes in contact with the wall. Mine JUST barely covered the existing tub spout hole vertically where I wanted to place the unit. So . . . if you’re measuring to cover pre-existing holes, (or for any other reason, for that matter), the better dimensions to use are the “footprint”, or frame-wall-contact measurements of 8.5 inches wide, by 49.25 inches high. 4. This unit has an automatic temperature control. That means that you can set the temperature once with one knob and leave it there, using a separate knob to switch the water flow on or off. Once set, during subsequent showers all you have to do is switch the water on and it will automatically mix the hot/cold water to that pre-set temperature. Nice feature. But . . . be careful about your hookups. Our old house has some wacky plumbing (even tho this place was built in the 70’s, I’m thinking that the folks who built it out here in the country still considered the whole idea of indoor plumbing to be something of a big-city novelty), which happened to have the somewhat novel feature of reversed hot/cold water hook-ups, opposite the standard, in this one bathroom. I didn’t think to check/remember that during the install. My bad. So I incorrectly hooked up the hot water line to the cold water inlet and ditto with the cold to hot. In a regularly valved system, this would be fine, just needing to get it in your head which knob you would have to grab at any given moment in your shower to prevent surprises. Here’s the problem with this thingy: when the lines are reversed, the automatic temperature valving won’t work properly, providing only full hot or full cold, no mixing. Good for waking you up in the morning, but not really what we want. Apparently there’s some kind of temperature sensitive wax or something like that that reacts to the incoming temperature, expecting (and only working with) hot on the hot side and cold on the cold. When I realized the temperature setting knob was acting backwards, I simply reversed the hose connections, and viola, problem fixed. Now, when (for example) set to the 38 deg C marker on the temp knob, the readout is exactly 100 deg F as it should be and stays there (or any other temp I happen to choose to set it at). Like I said: Nice feature. So just take note of the connections on install. Also, some reviewers have suggested that the temp control won’t let the water get hot enough. Note that there is a safety detent on the temp valve knob stopping it from turning any hotter at 38 deg C, as marked on the knob. Simply press the red button on the side of the knob to release the detent and turn farther to get higher temps. Finally, on the water control issues: The on/off water flow knob is reversed from what I would expect. To turn on the water, one turns the flow knob to the left 1/4 turn; to shut off the water, turn it to the right 1/4 turn. Not a problem. It just seems backwards to me (and yes, I know, one normally opens a faucet valve by cranking it to the left, and off to the right – it’s just that the way this panel is set up, particularly with only 1/4 turn full travel, it functions more like a switch than a valve, and, normally one would turn a switch knob to the right to turn it on/up; to the left to turn it off/down – think of an old style radio on/off/volume knob). Not a problem; just a personal observation/idiosyncrasy. 5. Finally, the supplied connection hoses might be a little short for some applications. In my case, they were EXACTLY the right length, as if they had been custom made for my application. One inch shorter, or had I mounted the unit one inch higher on the wall, I would have had a problem. Not an unsolvable problem, just a nuisance. The hoses are standard flexible plumbing connection hoses, with standard fittings at both ends, already connected to the unit, and can be replaced with longer ones if necessary, available at any big-box store. My only concern had I needed to go down that route was that the hoses come pre-connected (who knows how tightly) to valves that are attached from the back through the glass face. Applying excessive force removing the supplied hoses that were already attached, or tightening the replacement ones, could possibly crack the glass panel. So if you have to go that route, go gently! Bottom line: This is a beautiful, rich looking, and functional unit with only a couple of issues to be aware of. None are deal-breakers, or even close to it. It appears to be well made and solid in its construction (notwithstanding the minor mfg quality control issue on the battery box already noted). We love it and it really topped off our bathroom remodel/modernization. The seller got the thing to us unscathed in only 3 days. We would purchase this thingy again in a heartbeat (and just might for our other bathrooms!), and would decidedly get it from this supplier.

I've had this shower panel installed for about 2 weeks now and my whole family loves it. It's very easy to use and offers a wonderful water jet massage experience without the high cost of individually installed jets. Here are several things to consider when thinking about this shower panel... 1) You will need a plumber to install shower feed pipes - I happened to be remodeling our shower so it wasn't a problem to have a plumber come and run the correct pipes for the shower panel. If you're planning on updating to this shower panel you will need to have your old shower fixtures removed and re-plumbed. This means getting inside the shower wall, either from the back side (in another room) or through the shower wall. 2) Installation instructions are very limited- It comes with one page of very poor installation instructions. The good thing is that the shower panel is fairly easy to install. It would have been nice to see more details around where to place and how to install the mounting brackets. 3) Shower head and jets don't work at the same time - I purchased this shower panel knowing this but I it would be much nicer if the shower head and water jets could all be going at the same time. Right now, you can have either the shower head going, or the water jets going, but not both. Also, there are 8 total adjustable water jets that can only run 4 at a time. However, you can move the selection knob in between both settings to get all 8 jets working at the same time (with less pressure for all). My guess is that the reason the shower head and jets can't work at the same time, is a water pressure issue. But it would be very nice to have this option. 4) Temperature gauge in Celsius - Since this shower panel is made in and shipped from Canada, the temperature gauge is set in Celsius. However, you can easily change this to Fahrenheit if you need to by opening a small panel on the back of the temperature display box (prior to installation), and flipping the #2 switch to "ON". Then reset the batteries and it will show in Fahrenheit. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone! It looks great in my shower and everyone who sees it asks where they can get one. The product is well made and the company responds quickly to questions via email.

I'll first mention I have a couple of issues with this - I'll update my review and score based on what I hear from the vendor. This is an excellent shower panel. I note there are multiple types available, this one is the thermostatic panel - that is, you have an on/off pressure control and a separate control for hot/cold. This is a great idea, you set the shower temp you prefer, and (assuming your spouse likes the same temp) you just leave that control in place forever. Then you just turn the shower on and wait until it warms to that temp. Wonderful! This is actually my second shower panel. Honestly, even though my first one worked as advertised, and had multiple types of sprays, etc., none of them were at all satisfying. I started hating to take a shower. This one feels fantastic! Since I had installed one before, the installation of this one went pretty smoothly. I was able to easily swap out the inlet hoses for shorter ones, available on here or at big box home improvement stores, so I could hang it at a good height for my 5'2" wife (pretty bad if it were hung at a level where the sprayers hit her in the face). No problem hooking it up to my water supply, again already in place. Note, the inlet lines are 1/2" MIP connectors. When I installed my first one, a reviewer said they were standard washing machine connections (which are 3/4"). Wrong! So I had to get 1/2"-3/4" adapters. But since those were already in place, I was ready. The real difficulty is drilling holes in the tile shower wall - requires a diamond bit, water cooling, and a lot of drilling and patience! I didn't have a bit that quite matched with the included anchors, but everything eventually worked out. Again, once mounted and set, the water flow is excellent! There is a single control for where the water comes out. There are 5 settings, overhead shower, upper 4 jets, lower 4 jets, hand sprayer, lower faucet. And the jets adjust between massage inner jets to misting outer jets by turning the outside of the jet. To answer a couple of questions I have seen, if you set the control halfway between overhead shower and upper jets, you get spray from both. If you set it between upper jets and lower jets, you get spray from both. Pressure is reduced some, but it does work, so long as it is two adjacent selections on the knob. Another good thing is the shower head is a standard head, and can be switched for a different one, like if you want a multi-function head or something else. Ok the two issues. First, one of the nuts (or the threads) on one of the jets is stripped out. It will not hold the jet flat against the panel. I could probably fix this with some clear super glue, but I shouldn't have to. This does not affect anything but that one jet, and it sprays water just fine. Second, the display is supposed to be powered by water flow and display the temp. Unfortunately, this does not work. It does have a battery option that displays for a few seconds when you push the button, so it is quite usable. Nevertheless, you expect everything to function on a new panel that you spend a lot of money on. This is the opposite experience of another reviewer, where they reported it would not work with the push button battery option. I have sent a message to the vendor, depending on their response I will adjust the rating up or down. Bottom line, though, this is a great shower panel, and I am very pleased with it. UPDATE: Vendor action was amazingly quick. I have upgraded my score to 5 stars based on just their quick action. On the first issue, that the temperature does not continuously display when the water is running using water flow to generate the display... the vendor reports that this feature is no longer present. I have suggested to them it be removed from the product description. On the second issue, the loose jet, the vendor has immediately shipped out a replacement jet. The vendor responded and shipped the replacement part within a few hours of my sending them a message!

My husband installed this in our master bath a week ago. Is it an overstatement to say it's the most wonderful thing to come into my life since my children? Will readers cease to take me seriously if I do my imitation of Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally"? But really, it's just that incredible. It's a *great* product, and given the current price (less than $300 at the present time) it's a wonderful, reasonably affordable luxury. The shower panel is well-made and very attractive. Though it looks complicated, my husband (very handy, former kitchen contractor with decent plumbing knowledge) installed it in a short period of time. If you need a pro to install it, maybe you shouldn't be intimidated about it being super-expensive, because this isn't a huge job (so if they tell you it is... you can invoke my claims here). He did have to open up the wall behind the bathroom, but we were doing that anyway because of other renovations. I bought this based on the excellent reviews I read here, so I just want to add a few things that I didn't catch in other reviews: 1) Both showerheads and the screen have lights that turn blue and then orange based on whether the water is cold or hot. The circle of lights on the rainfall showerhead flashes constantly. I am very sensitive to annoying lights, so that worried me more than a little, but I rarely even see these because they're over my head, so it works out fine. 2) All eight of the jets down the front DO operate at once when on the farthest-to-the-right setting. They individually adjust to either a "jet" or "mist" setting. Warning about the "mist": this is soft and relaxing if you turn down the pressure (i.e., push in the handle to lessen the force of the water). If I go straight from rainfall showerhead to "mist" on the top jets, it's exactly like the time I got a Mystic Tan and the force of the tanning mist almost knocked me into the opposite wall. If you haven't had a Mystic Tan, imagine you are a bug being chased with a can of Raid. But that's user error, not a problem with the shower panel. 3) You can indeed trick the panel into doing "rainfall showerhead" and "top four jets" at once by toggling the control between the two settings. It works, but the pressure is lower for both. However, since a couple of people have mentioned water pressure as a general concern, I have no problem at all with this. 4) Yes, there seems to be no way to change the temp readout to Fahrenheit, but who cares. Apparently I like my shower at 42 degrees Celsius, and that's all I need to know. If it says 38 I will be unhappy. I can remember those two numbers and do not find myself stupefied by the Metric readout. 5) I have no idea what that button just below the temp screen does. It seems to do nothing, but I am not 100% sure about this. Is it meant to set a preference? Change the Metric/English setting? Call flying monkeys, or a butler with a hot towel? It is doing none of these things. So, I enthusiastically recommend this product. It will help with your stress level, brighten your day, cause your hair to be better rinsed and improve your social life as your friends start coming over with lame excuses to take showers at your place. Also, when I enthused about it on Facebook, a friend said she once dated a guy for his shower. It must have been this shower. I would marry for this shower.

I ordered the unit at the end of April ‘23. I was showering with it for a few weeks. It worked great, no complaints at all. UNTIL, one day the hand held sprayer comes foward and falls. now I cant get it to stay like it use to. if the water comes on too hard it falls, or not hard enough it falls. If it’s not turned leaning up against the tower then it falls. I am disappointed the handle wouldn't hold up a few years, much less not even make it to 6 months. I would rate 5 stars if customer service would be able to help me get this fixed so I can fully enjoy the unit. Update July 2024- disappointment times 10!!! suddenly mold/mildew showed up in the shower heads, and in some jets. I don’t understand how as I clean with vinegar once every 1-2 weeks. I also use scrub daddy for the shower. I don’t know how to get in touch with someone so can find out if I can take all the heads off & soak in vinegar and scrub the system with vinegar. I think I’m going to just take it out and get a simple shower head. It really sucks bc I loved the jets, but I don’t want to spend $400 on something that’s gonna fail within a year. I guess you’re supposed to wipe down the heads after each use to keep it from forming. If you have experience with mold/mildew and how to prevent it for real(I thought cleaning my shower with vinegar would prevent it I was wrong on the shower head part) then it probably Is fine. & if you can take the heads off for routine cleaning & to prevent it then that would be excellent, and this might be worth it. It might be user error that causes the mold/mildew, I’m not sure. This is my first home so I’m learning a lot.

Heaven on Earth!!! This shower head is sooooooooooo awesome!! We purchased a different model that was much 'simpler' looking, but it ended up not working out for a multitude of reasons. At the time, we thought we were in love with that model and didn't want one that looked like this - but we were so wrong! This particular shower-head was so easy to install (per our contractor) - there was only a hot and cold connect and everything else was already assembled. The mirrored front and the mirrored shower head go great with a classic or modern decor. The options are phenomenal and we love that even the handheld as multiple options! We put this in a 36" x 42" shower and were concerned it would be too small for this massive shower head, but it works fine. We did end up adding additional shower guards on our glass doors to stop the few droplets that got out from the body sprays, but that's all. We have only two complaints: 1. You can't use more than one option at a time. I don't know that this is necessary, but my kids, husband and I all like to party! So I think that having the option to have the body sprays and rain head on would be awesome. Not a deal breaker, but definitely something to think about. The 2nd thing, and probably the more major issue, is that when you are switching from one option to another, you are pelted with freezing cold water. It doesn't matter if you've had the shower running for two days, or if you tried to be smart and run all of the options for a little before you got in, the water flow simply sits in the instruments until they are used and the water gets colder and colder while you're using another option. It is jolting, to say the least, when you switch it to the wrong thing and aren't expecting it - like in the morning when you just wake up and turn it to the body jets instead of the handheld that you've come to learn to face away from you! With that said though, we wouldn't trade it for the world! It is literally our favorite piece in our new bathroom and for the price, compared to much more expensive models, you can't get any better. We have had the shower head installed and in use for about 6 months now and we haven't had any leaking or rust stains like I've read in some of the reviews. We were hesitant because we weren't sure what kind of customer service we would get if we were to have an issue, but we haven't had anything yet. Take the plunge - you won't regret it!!!
