I got a thermostatic shower mixer from ikea and it's awsome. Just set your preffered temp and it will make sure it stays that way. It wasn't even that expensive. I wish more people knew about it.

Problem is that shower temperature is one of those problems that is enough to be annoying but not enough to demand being solved.

Didn't know about thermostatic mixers. Thanks.

Arent’t these standard everywhere? These things are super common here in Europe.

Europe is not one homogenous continent. Here in Europe where I am they are not common, and I've been to at least 2 other countries here in Euorpe where these mixers were not common.

Okay fair point. I think I've seen them, not everywhere mind you, but certainly encountered them in at least twelve countries here in Europe. So they're certainly wide spread.

Not in the US, I've never seen one in person.

Trust me, there are still many households with three super old two knobs style. It's just impossible to get a usable temperature with them.

I got mine from Aldi for 40€. It works perfectly and turns easier than some of the expensive models at my friend's house.

I found cheaper options too, but decided to go with ikea because they offer replacement ceramic cartrige which is apparently the only thing that can break on these mixers.
