I do. But a proper one. All tiled. No glass that is a PITA to keep clean. No curtain that gets disgusting. Just step in, shower, step out.
But that stuff is out of reach to most people, including myself. Some people are still trying to imitate that with those crappy compact ones but it just ends up being stupid and worse than a normal shower.
They’re terrible. Everything you said is true, but I’ll add that unless you crank up the heat in the room, they’re miserable on cold days. The enclosed showers trap the steam and warmth from the how water in with you, but with no door it’s just cold.
Hm. My bathroom is always 23°C or warmer, no matter the weather. When is colder outside, my heat pump delivers more warm water to the heating circuits. Does heating in the US work differently?
Most of the heat in the US is electric or gas. In areas where the temps get freezing and below outside, people don’t tend to run it to get the temps into the mid 20s like that.
Does that really make a difference on the bill, are the houses so badly insulated? I always thought that style of building with wooden walls and insulation foam should make heating extremely cheap.
Hotels love installing these things. They’re cheaper than two large shower doors, they make the room look bigger, and guests think it looks modern.
That said, you’re kind of supposed to pair this with a rain shower head in the ceiling to reduce splash. This looks like a remodeled hotel that didn’t want to move the plumbing. They just did a cheap refresh to make people feel like they were staying in a modern room.
I stayed at a hotel in Vegas (of course) that had no doors on theirs. Just an open, locker-room-style shower. And the floor was barely level enough to not flood the bathroom if the shower head was pointed directly at the corner. It was not pointing the right way when I turned it on.
People want them but they don’t want to admit that they don’t have enough space for one that properly works.
Who wants one, and why?

You can save water and shower with a bunch of people in that thing.

That’s 100% a hotel, though.
