Has anyone had any experience with one of these?.

It is nice to get an independent recommendation other than the paid testimonials. Cheers.

578410 2007-08-09 06:09:00 My parents have one in their shower. While it stops condensation from getting out, if you're tall like me and like hot showers, it does tend to require opening the door slightly every now and then so you can breathe Myth (110)

Appreciate your comments and that is what I suspected regarding being able to breathe. I hadn't thought about the height problem which would be a problem with some of our family. Cheers.

I see the "Tropicana" model allows the warmed, but not moisture laden air to escape out the top, so this may stop the lack of air problem.

A second model known as the Tropicana has the added advantage that it enables warm air from the shower to be condensed and the resulting warm dry air vented out into the bathroom.

Not cheap though - pricing (www.showerdome.co.nz)

others opinions. I think if it is such a good idea why wasn't it in use a long time ago. Perhaps no one has thought of it until now.?

578414 2007-08-09 08:20:00 I've got one, and absolutely love it. The first time you use it you feel a little suffocated, but after you get used to it, it is great - keeps the shower cubicle really warm, and keeps the condensation off the walls/ceiling. somebody (208)
578415 2007-08-09 08:20:00 Sometimes simple ideas aren't widely used. Some (like me) just don't care about the product.

So it seems it does work. Maybe it really is a 'Eureka' product. I had thought it was just a condenser (which would also stop steam[actually water vapour] in the cubicle. But according to the web site it's not, which is interesting.

It's a kiwi invention according to the website. Nicely done.
