Shower pods for electric shower

Does anybody have any experience of enclosed shower pods for electric showers - such as these https://www.edensteamshowers.co.uk/product/larvik-universalelectric-shower-cabins
Would appreciate feedback from anyone who has fitted one or has used one. Would you recommend? Any pitfalls? Many thanks

"I have fitted pods in the past, the only real drawback is that they are freestanding, and therefore take up slightly more room as there has to be room to manoeuvre them into position once connected."

"The only time I work in these us when my customers have finally had enough and ask me to remove them. You are better off installing a separate shower tray/enclosure with tiles or panelling"

"We had put one of this in an old abbey. Th only problem is that your walls have to be straight and the floor as well. Normally UK houses flooring and walls are not straight so there could be some gaps when installing.
Make sure you have done your ground work correctly before isntallation."
