Might be worth a look at Sanctuary Bathrooms as I think they are discounting the Crosswater digi one at moment, which I think looks much better than the Aqualisa.
Link?

More of a reliability question. I'm looking at the digital ones with remote.

Anyone know much about aqualusa showers, digital ones?
I have them fitted in my en-suite (Ilux) and bathroom (HiQu). They are great.

I'm thinking of not bothering with shower screen and getting curtain, as I'm tall and water will get out with scree.
What do you guys use?
Maybe both?

I've got an Outasight shower screen in my main bathroom and it's really good. No screen in the way when bathing the kids, but a curtain to use when guests visit and need a shower

No issues with mould ? It looks a little fragile as well - what are your impressions ?

No issues with mould - we just let it dry before folding it away as it's only used when we have guests staying.

It doesn't leak all over the floor and keeps all the water in the bath, and doesn't cling to your body when you are showering.

And it's very sturdy. The pneumatic ram that supports it is very strong and the whole thing is very well made.

I was dubious before I had it fitted, but didn't want a glass screen as it would get in the way when bathing the kids, and didn't want a normal shower curtain.

Thanks, I've checked out the Amazon comments as well.

We also have a little 'un & the glass screen is a real pain. Might well replace with one of these.

I quite like it, but am happy with a rail and curtain, about £25 all in.

that looks really interesting. We dont want a screen in either due to bathing the kids. Its also not our main shower but could be handy if we decide to fit something at a later date.

Thanks
