Thanks for this review. We're about to completely remodel our home's only bathroom, so I'll be purchasing one too. Your review and exploration of the knob settings was exactly what I needed to see before buying! 🤓
Very well done excellent review! They make two models one is a 3 gallon per minute the other one is almost 2 gallons per minute. How much propane does it consume? And does anybody have any idea if it's worth the cost difference
This is promoted as portable, take to beach, etc...how is that practical? Does it have a carry case and stand? How does it work if you don't have a way to hang it from something or want to mount it?
I would say it isn't very portable. It does not come with a stand do it must be hung somewhere. If you took it anywhere without a water source, you would have to put a portable water source above the unit so gravity would force water into the heater. The flow rate would be poor due to not having much pressure.
@@Subariblet I think your right .Thanks. I'm just using a huge water tank with gravity pressure from a hill(probably not enough pressure). Guess I will have to hook up pump again and use my genny.
@@ryanberthelette8801 I saw there's another version of this (different brand) that includes a water pump in the box, but it's quite a bit more expensive. But I found the pump for sale on Amazon by itself for $30. I think I'll be buying this unit for when we remodel our sole bathroom... and when we go camping I'll pick up a cheap pump.
@@ryanberthelette8801 I agree, but then again, pros & cons... external means you can control the quality of the pump yourself, and replace easily if you ever need to. More complex all in one unit means more can go wrong, the unit would be larger, and price goes up. Sure would be more convenient, though.
Garbage. Not even a month in, the thing starts heats up, im in the shower nice and hot then BOOM outta nowhere power goes out and insanely cold water follows. Do not buy, these things suck
@@wostep not really, if I move the cold dial anywhere but all the way down it shuts off. Hot water works ok. Won’t need it much longer once the new house is done
Thanks, that was the best no nonsense review of the unit actually operating. Hooking mine up this weekend.
Thanks. It’s really been a handy unit. I plan to make a permanent outdoor shower with it soon.

It’s definitely been a handy unit.
Just got mine two day ago for my man cave,,, can't wait to use it ,,,, cheers
Thanks for the simple and clear review. I am waiting for mine to arrive. Will use it for camping and earthquake preparedness.
Glad you found it useful. Fortunately I do not have to worry about earthquakes here.

Thanks, clear and quick review.
What a great review. Thank you
Very helpful information, thank you. 👍👍👍👍
excellent review bud
I wish I would've seen hose hook up. I need to be able to use my hose, and I found the fixed hose adapter on other units to be a pain!
I know this unit hooks up easily to a regular garden hose which is what I use. It was easy and didn't leak.
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
Since it has been awhile... do still like this unit?
Thank you for sharing this video.
Yes I still like it. I still use it occasionally outside just for fun 😅
Will this work from a gravity feed water tank?
Technically yes, but if the flow rate is slow, the water may get too hot.

@@Subariblet Thanks! I'll stick to my $20 camp shower! Works awesome, I just boil water in a kettle and put it in a 5 gallon bucket.
Thanks Bro!
where did you find a gas line that goes to propane tank and half inch
It came with it
What size water hose for the hook up?
Its just a standard garden hose that I have hooked up
What if it doesn't turn on?
It’s broken
I have mine on low settings and it's going way too hot.
My guess is your water pressure may be to low causing a slower flow. My water pressure is pretty high

@@FireSloth1134 awesome sounds great..I've used a pump with this model and it worked pretty good. It would be Nice to have a built in one though .

been using mine for almost 5 years now ,works great you must have got a lemon
Mine does this to. Haven’t figured out anything with it. 185 dollars well spent
