In the house I grew up in, you’d also have to hope no one flushed the downstairs toilet. If so, the cold water pressure would suddenly drop, leaving a lot more hot water coming out of the shower head.
If I’m thinking of the same device, the one I used in Sweden and Norway, it’s fantastic. It’s in the shower itself, so you don’t have to contend with 30m of cold pipes between a less effective water heater and the nozzle.
Thermostatic shower mixers are not a thing where you live?
Not common in the US I believe, or at least I haven’t heard or seen one of them.
You just gotta “guess” what’s correct and then feel the water coming out

I knew this was going to be the link and was imagining the Mozart part at the end
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, not Mozart.
No ill intent, I just like classical music :)
And here I was thinking I was cultured.
Also not a problem with a thermostatic mixer. The temperature stays the same, you just get less water pressure for a while.
Weird, they are super common here in the Netherlands. Not expensive either. You just set it to a temperature and it’ll keep it constant.
now I want one

I can highly recommend it. Get a good name-brand one, like Grohe. Example.
Yeah, I havent had a problem setting the shower temperature since I live in a house that has one.
Its great.
