But one down side I spotted is that you need a higher temperature mixer setting for the same temperature on your body. I guess this is because the water is aerated so much as it leaves the shower head.
I honestly can’t decide between this or the Stonestream shower heads lol Absolutely love the look and apparently great feel of this one. But I wanted to try an get something better for showers to improve the water quality some and the interactions with your own skin.
It's mind blowing if you have a system that can feed it with it's required 9 L/m (or more if you remove the flow restrictor in the base). Luckily I do and I love it - just don't expect to plug it onto an electric shower or low-pressure gravity fed shower & expect it to transform your showering experience. Mains-pressure systems are what this is designed for and it's amazing on the right system.
Been watching your vids for years James. Hats of to you sir the way you produce them now is epic and I would say in a unique but funny way. Keep it up. 👌🏻
Hi i work in a hotel and I need to replace or track down parts for a Mira bir shower head but I’m finding it difficult to get parts. What is the best shower head to replace it with without doing any further damage to the walls etc. thank you
Hi Paul, contact us on sales@uk.methven.com for further information. We have various showers that you'd be able to replace here. uk.methven.com/showers/fixed-overhead-showers/
Never seen this kind of mixer tap before where you turn a big lever. They are nonexistant where I live. How does it work? I mean sure I can see that when you turn the lever the water starts flowing more or less but how do you change the temperature?
How easy is it to clean out. Iv got a showery shower head which i was impressed with and so easy to clean out, just twist the face of the head off and run under the tap. I found small grit the block jets in time. Showery head is ideal check it out
Hi, So long as you have a hose gauze, there should be no issues. However we'd always recommend that the head is cleaned regularly to ensure that is build-up of limescale.
Hi cplcabs, Aio has hydrophobic properties inside which resists the build-up of limescale. We have the RRP as £100.00, but it will save you money on your water and energy bills as well as look divine in your shower. We launched it in 2015 and it's been a massive hit since. We sell on Ebay, Amazon and have a great collaboration with retailers and merchants throughout the country, so i'm sure if you shopped around you may find it a lot cheaper. In the meantime, feel free to trial on our website: www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/ :-)
Hi Dave, You can trial the handset before purchasing it if you check out our website. We believe that once you trial Aurajet, you wont want to go back to your other handset. :-) www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/
Can this shower head be used with an electric shower? I only ask because someone frowned on a shower head I was using (not this one by the way) saying it may have contributed to my shower breaking down (I'm no expert it was something to do with water pressure within the unit because the showerhead slowed the water in an attempt to mimic a power shower) or something like that! So now I only use bog standard shower heads in fear
Hi Jackie, unfortunately this shower handset only works with high pressures. We do however have a shower handset in our trial for low pressure systems and electric showers. I love the Maku handset, it's more of a luxury massage within the shower. www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/ :-)
Just found this post after looking at this shower in a showroom. My daughter has ridiculously thick, long hair and it takes forever to rinse the shampoo out. Can anyone tell me how efficient this shower head is in this situation? Is the water flow too gentle to rinse thick hair well?
I don’t think there’s any replacement for more water. Take the water saver out of your shower head if you’re able. Another good thing to remember is the bigger the shower head, the less water pressure you will get. Bigger looks cooler but they’re very inefficient. You need to double your showering time just to get rid of the soap etc. I’d say stay away from the “premium” brands and garbage products a home designer would recommend. Vast majority of plumbers would tell you to go with Moen. Trustworthy brand, best warranty, different tiers of products but all are great quality and go along with anything.. contemporary, modern, classic, you name it. This shower head may be worth a shot if you’re so inclined. This guy really does a great job and makes some killer videos. My two cents is just to go with Moen lol. Not Delta or anything else
My wife prefers the Aio Aurajet shower rather than the Satinjet ones as she has tight curly hair. Check out the videos of it working on TH-cam. th-cam.com/channels/1eMqu33zGNkqkhf2lNiFoA.html
Where the water comes out, does it have rubber nozzles (like most other shower heads these days), which allow you to easily rub the limescale off, which often blocks the nozzles over time?....
I've had it ages and it's not been a problem. The thing is rubbing off the shower head is the wrong way to clean a shower head! They need soaking in either white vinegar or diluted Viakal (or similar) so you dissolve the scale. Rubbing just damages the rubber waterways over time!
plumberparts I been rubbing my rubber bits for about 12 years now and they are not damaged at all on a Grohe shower head... I think they are designed from a rubber that is meant to be rubbed.... I agree that vinegar/acid can also be used to dissolve the limescale, but I prefer a chemical-free approach wherever possible....
Kilrock is my go to for limescale although I did manage to take the chrome off a cheap chinese franke clone tap by using it neat. Also don't leave it in your toilet for days as I think it damages the glaze and makes the limescale worse. Now do limescale magnets work?
Not well no, sorry. It needs at least 1.0 bar and a gravity-fed shower is unlikely to give you that. 1 bar is over 30 feet of head, so unless your water tank is 30 feet above your shower it'll be a disappointment & waste of money - you'll need a shower pump or pressurized system.
It's just like QVC ;-). So how good are these on lower pressure systems? Btw I fitted a power shower booster a few years ago, surprising good for something based on aquarium pumps.
Hi Rob, Aurajet works on high-pressure systems of 1.0 bar or above. We do have the Satinjet Maku shower handset which is suitable for all pressures, including electric showers. You can also trial them both on our website: www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/ :-)
Hi Tangerinestorm, Aio has hydrophobic properties inside which resists the build-up of limescale.

Hi Alan, This is great! i've just checked and you are down to try the Maku handset. You should receive it very shortly. Have a great day! And enjoy your new shower experience! :-)
id like to see one after being used for 12 months in a hard water area. I feel it would be more prone to clogging that a cheap plastic and rubber head. The other problem is with it being chrome, descaling it in vinegar would also corrode the chrome
Hi Carpii, here at Methven HQ we test, test, test and when we think we've finished, we test some more. :-) We have had countless test subjects using our products all over the world. I myself have been using the Aio handset for over 3 years, and although i'm in a standard hard water area i have had no issues with any clogging up. My colleagues in the South also have the same handsets and they too have seen no issues. We dont advise cleaning any handsets using cleaning solutions or vinegar, just some warm soapy water. Feel free to trial one to see what you think; www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset :-)
I used to work for a retail outlet that sold Methven. $1000 dollars a pop for the aurajet shower head rail in Australia & New Zealand. Pricey pricey. Although it does come with a lifetime warranty.
Hi Shev, unfortunately Aio doesn't work on low pressure systems, however we do have other handsets available which do work on gravity fed and low pressure systems. Feel free to review on the trial website page here: www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/
Hi Rhys, If anything it covers a larger area. We class it as Ultra-Wide-Coverage. A full-bodied spray and all-over warmth and maximum body contact. with 20% more spray force and 2x the amount of skin coverage than a standard conventional shower it will be the best purchase you'll make this year. :-)
Had Methven shower heads in an airport hotel at Stansted (Hilton I think), so good I tracked them down afterwards. Was able to buy one through our water company for ~£25 IIRC. Bargain!
Hi Adrian, This is great thanks. We have a lot of hotels and leisure facilities internationally that use our Satinjet and Aurajet products, mainly due to their water-saving abilities and fantastic massage-feeling sprays. Thanks for the positive reply and have a great day! :-)
@@methvenuk8591 unfortunaly I am from germany, and I will move to Portugal soon. But thanks for offering that. You and all that makes a very human like aperance witch i think is very nice and trust worthy.
Hi Tammy, We currently sell our products at Home Depot outlets and Amazon, is there a particular one you were interested in? Try www.homedepot.com/b/Methven/N-5yc1vZlqq Have a great day. Thanks. :-)
Was looking at this on the Costco Website. Love youtube ❤ if you are not sure about anything you can always see a review 😊. Going to buy one now that I know you can just screw it on
Don’t do Instagram or Twitter (I’m old you see 😎) so I’ll just have to buy one. My own shower head is knackered so very timely but where can I buy one from. Find the site - £1 secures 30 day trial, cant be bad. Regards Mike
Hi Mike - The Aurajet Aio can be purchased from plumbers merchants across the UK. For more details about the products and dealers please visit www.methven.com. The RRP inc VAT for the Aio is £99.99.
Has this really gone up from £50 four years ago (based on comments from then) to £346 for the chrome version and £520 for the matte black version at the time of writing?! It must be absolutely amazing!
No. They have gone up in price but if someone is charging £346 for the chrome one they’re making well over 200% profit. As far as I’m aware they were £79 when launched. £50 must have been a promotion.
I just wanted to see him hook it up and turn on the water. All I got was a slo-mo eh pass, sounds and looks cool. It's aesthetically pleasing at least.
Hi Richie, The Aio has hydrophobic properties resisting limescale, so long as the hose has a mesh filter to stop the harder bits of dirt and grit, the handset should work fine in all high pressure systems. Take the trial on our website if you're in the UK. :-)
Hi Mutton Man, The Aio handset is limescale resistant and we constantly test them and put them through their paces. The hydrophobic properties deflect any hard water/limescale build-up and proves its a force to be reckoned with. The handset should work fine in all high pressure systems. Take the handset trial on our website if you're in the UK. :-) www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset
In all honesty, seeing the water streaming... I don't believe it's THAT amazing. There will be better ones for far less money, ok with a less "chique" design
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING works as good or strong as those old shower heads like the kind that used to be in my grandma's condo in Florida. That shower was so good, I never wanted to get out of it and it would rinse the shampoo out of my long hair within seconds, it seemed. I have not been able to find a shower head like that ever since. When you'd turn the water on in the bathtub even before turning the shower thing on, it would jet out like Niagara Falls. My apartment has those low water things installed, that way you don't waste a lot of water. I have bought many varieties of shower heads just to test them out and have not been able to find one that is as strong as grandma's place! :0

I'm from the Netherlands, I love this product. You can shower with half the amound of water, and stille have a great shower experience.
that's good, might get one myself.
But one down side I spotted is that you need a higher temperature mixer setting for the same temperature on your body. I guess this is because the water is aerated so much as it leaves the shower head.
I honestly can’t decide between this or the Stonestream shower heads lol
Absolutely love the look and apparently great feel of this one. But I wanted to try an get something better for showers to improve the water quality some and the interactions with your own skin.

Mains-pressure systems are what this is designed for and it's amazing on the right system.
Thanks Peter, Satinjet and Aurajet shower technologies only work on high pressure systems.
pleased i never bought one my pressure is low so thanks for the info
Do they make a basic one that screws on the pipe. I don't have a handheld shower head.

New shower head arrived on Monday, wife thinks it’s great. Can’t believe how good it is.
Thanks Mike! My wife thinks the same. Great for washing her hair and showering under. :-)
Does the switch on the Kaha model allow the head to be turned off? This would be good when washing the dog in the bath
Looks very similar to one of the settings on the MIRA 360. is it still the best shower head?

How does it hold up to limescale?
Hi Scorch io, Aio has hydrophobic properties inside which resists the build-up of limescale. :-)
Had Methven shower heads in an airport hotel at Stansted (Hilton I think), so good I tracked them down afterwards. Was able to buy one through our water company for ~£25 IIRC. Bargain!
Hi Adrian, this is great news. Which shower handset was it?
Methven UK a Satinjet :)
Hi Adrian, This is great thanks. We have a lot of hotels and leisure facilities internationally that use our Satinjet and Aurajet products, mainly due to their water-saving abilities and fantastic massage-feeling sprays. Thanks for the positive reply and have a great day! :-)
whats the price of this amazing shower?
$100 to $130 on depend retailers.
Living here in New Zealand, convinced to buy locally made good quality kit - thanks neat review
Great name. Methven
Can you put it on any shower?
So long as it has a standard bore hose.
That Song at the end! love it! looking into getting this or at least sticking more to this topic of different shower heads in existence
Hi Robin, Thanks for viewing. If you are in the UK, why not try one on our £1.00 trial? www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset :-)
@@methvenuk8591 unfortunaly I am from germany, and I will move to Portugal soon. But thanks for offering that. You and all that makes a very human like aperance witch i think is very nice and trust worthy.
Is it golden shower now?
This guy totally has shares in this.
Can we get these shower heads in the USA?
Hi Tammy, We currently sell our products at Home Depot outlets and Amazon, is there a particular one you were interested in? Try www.homedepot.com/b/Methven/N-5yc1vZlqq Have a great day. Thanks. :-)
You want good water pressure for it to work properly though..
Is the aura jet available in Australia?
Chris constantinidis Exclusive to reece thats where i purchaced mine . U wont be disappointed
Was looking at this on the Costco Website. Love youtube ❤ if you are not sure about anything you can always see a review 😊. Going to buy one now that I know you can just screw it on
great review and information i have just start looking for new shower head cheers
What about if you take cold showers?
Hi Michael, equally as good for cold showers as it is for hot showers. The spray pattern and feeling is divine. :-)
Don’t do Instagram or Twitter (I’m old you see 😎) so I’ll just have to buy one. My own shower head is knackered so very timely but where can I buy one from. Find the site - £1 secures 30 day trial, cant be bad. Regards Mike
Hi Mike - The Aurajet Aio can be purchased from plumbers merchants across the UK. For more details about the products and dealers please visit www.methven.com. The RRP inc VAT for the Aio is £99.99.
Brilliant. Best ending ever keep it up!
Have never heard such a great song for a shower head!
Has this really gone up from £50 four years ago (based on comments from then) to £346 for the chrome version and £520 for the matte black version at the time of writing?! It must be absolutely amazing!
No. They have gone up in price but if someone is charging £346 for the chrome one they’re making well over 200% profit. As far as I’m aware they were £79 when launched. £50 must have been a promotion.
Gna buy it. Looks awesome
Boom!
I just wanted to see him hook it up and turn on the water. All I got was a slo-mo eh pass, sounds and looks cool. It's aesthetically pleasing at least.
James, How do these cope with hard water?
Hi Richie, The Aio has hydrophobic properties resisting limescale, so long as the hose has a mesh filter to stop the harder bits of dirt and grit, the handset should work fine in all high pressure systems. Take the trial on our website if you're in the UK. :-)
I only came for the outro song 👌
Haha!
Keep the bangers coming!
great vid. i had already decided on getting this before watching this but after hearing your feedback i'm even more into it. chur
No worries!
Just ordered myself one! Was in need of a new shower head
Good man! They're amazing!
Top Man Josh!
How do these do in hard water areas?
Hi Mutton Man,
The Aio handset is limescale resistant and we constantly test them and put them through their paces. The hydrophobic properties deflect any hard water/limescale build-up and proves its a force to be reckoned with. The handset should work fine in all high pressure systems. Take the handset trial on our website if you're in the UK. :-) www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset
In all honesty, seeing the water streaming... I don't believe it's THAT amazing.
There will be better ones for far less money, ok with a less "chique" design
The water savings alone can save the cost within 2 years.
@@methvenuk8591 also is no good for low or medium pressure
NOTHING and I mean NOTHING works as good or strong as those old shower heads like the kind that used to be in my grandma's condo in Florida. That shower was so good, I never wanted to get out of it and it would rinse the shampoo out of my long hair within seconds, it seemed. I have not been able to find a shower head like that ever since. When you'd turn the water on in the bathtub even before turning the shower thing on, it would jet out like Niagara Falls. My apartment has those low water things installed, that way you don't waste a lot of water. I have bought many varieties of shower heads just to test them out and have not been able to find one that is as strong as grandma's place! :0
That was the pressure and not the shower head
HI ANTHONY SULLIVAN HERE

The RRP inc VAT for the Aio is £99.99 and can be purchased from plumber's merchants across the UK. For more details about the product and dealers please visit www.methven.com

Hi Darran, Where are you located and i'll point you in the general direction. :-)
@@methvenuk8591 hi I am in Bristol thanks for your help.
@@darranowen9704 Hi Darran, If you live close to a Homebase/Bunnings they have stock of the shower heads. If not, try the stockist locator on our website: www.methven.com/uk/find-a-dealer/map
Thanks for your interest.
Have a great day.
You know you going to buy something when you hear a accent like his don’t matter what it is I’m going to buy it tho lmao
The way he pronounces Methven 😂
I’m curious now! As it’s from abroad, how do I pronounce it?! 😂🙈
@plumberparts it sounds like you're separating the word to make it sound like he's a meth addict lol 😆 the th should sound similar to how you pronounce the th in weather. Then the ven sounds more like vin.
Bloody foreigners 😂😂
@@ScottishDayZer haha! Cheers man. 👍😂
@plumberparts haha no worries, surprised to see they're an English company. Methven is a wee place just along the road from me up in Scotland. Now I see there's a Methven in New Zealand...we sure did get about us Scots 😄
Good video. Our suite has an Aio Aurajet while the main bathroom has a Rua Aurajet
Hi Calvin, a true fan! We hope you're enjoying the Methven shower experience as much as we do. :-)
Jerry and Kramer would love that!!
How much were you paid to make this video?
Not sure how it long it will last in hard water areas
Hi - The Aurajet Aio uses an engineered polymer with hydrophobic properties and silicon rubber nozzles to reduce hard water build-up and resist the accumulation of limescale. The Aurajet Aio also comes with a lifetime warranty to guarantee performance. :-)
Does it work with electric showers?
Yes totally fine!
Hi Alan, Aurajet Aio works on high-pressure systems of 1.0 bar or above. We do have the Satinjet Maku shower handset which is suitable for all pressures, including electric showers. You can also trial them both on our website:
www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/
:-)
What's wrong with a half hour shower? All mine are about this long.
Ha!
Just don't go on there with a uv light after
Wastes water, bad for your skin, and doesn't get you any cleaner. That being said I take hour showers regularly. Still not good though.
I don't stay in there to get cleaner, just to warm up and relax. I have much shorter showers in the summer.
The £132.05 price tag is a little off putting although it does come with a lifetime guarantee!
She's not just showering in there fella
Just googled price!!!!! Range from £55 - £75 wow, sh*t,far too exspensive for just a shower head!!
Why is it Kalled OraShower does it blow you 😂
🤝 Was epic 🤣
You said you have an aqua Lisa in your own home in a previous video. Now your making commission on these products you are becoming a scammer. Not good. Your a decent bloke. Don’t let greed take you.
Jamie, I have an Aqualisa shower bar with a Methven head! I don't earn any commission off these videos aside from the TH-cam earning thingy. Plus I sourced 10 of these to give away for free....and also you didn't pay to watch this video! Go to their site and buy the £1 trial and tell me if I'm wrong.
Hi Jamie, our shower handsets can be used on most high pressure showers and easy to interchange. Take the trial and see what you think? www.methven.com/uk/methven-trial-handset/ :-)
