Did a test with this on mist setting. Lasted 19 minutes and 20 seconds from full to empty. Noticed that it started to bog out with .5 gallons left in the tank. It would come out, but stuttering.
How much time do you get out of the water tank before it's empty? Curious if it was similar to mine. time it for me would you, fill it up, and hold down the sprayer, when water stops, how long was it?
notice how he decides to check the reservoir while he's doing the test and as soon as he turns the cap he loses pressure. then is wondering what the heck is going on.
my local costo just had it for $60! like a fool i waited a day and they took them off the shelves. checked another costco and had it for 119. i have a feeling costcos will have them at $60 again any day now; before they rack em for the season
They could reduce the sound by adding some foam, which would add minimal weight. Times being off could leave someone soaped up needing to rinse off with cold water. If I were them, I would also give an option for an external water bladder which could be larger than 3.5 gallons if they are short on their time.
$300 is too much for that unit. There's nothing innovated enough to justify that price. It's basically a bucket, a battery, and a pump. Even if the numbers were correct, I still feel the value isn't there.
Yes it’s VERY expensive…but convenience trumps ingenuity for most people now a days sadly. This whole shower system would be straight forward to build, but convenience once again wins out for most
@GY6outdoors ya it could be built fairly easy. Might not have such a nice finished package though. I've been off grid for 2½ years now and I look at things so much different than I used to. Not to mention 60 mile trip just to go get some hardware. So improvising has become a big part of the way I see things
This sucks cause I just bought this And seeing this review broke my heart. I’m glad you gave an honest review. I need it for cleaning my Oru kayak and showering at times as well. i’m gonna run some test my self as well
I picked one up at Costco for $150 to spray off small balcony at my apartment because we do not have an outdoor faucet and going to use it with my motorcycle and other light duty.

It lasted 2 minutes and 41 seconds from full to .5 gallons left before stuttering and eventually struggling to do anything. A whole minute less than what you got in the video.
No the battery is amazing on this unit, I love it, the amount of time you get to shower while using this unit is the issue. Cap doesn't cause the pressure, it's pressurized by the internal pump, it just pumps out all the water far faster than their numbers are stating.
I don't think they're talking about the amount of water... continuous... I think they are talking about battery life, when talking about numbers. So, I think if you refilled it, you could get two solid showers at 3.5 minutes each... continuous spray! But, yes... you'd have to refill it after the first shower.

@@partyofyoung also, I own one of these units. And the water on center setting can last 7 mins. The guy in the video while testing literally screwed the cap of during the video to check the reservoir not realising that the cap is what holds the pressure. He's a meat head.
Guy above(@Raxnn) has clearly been comment bombing this video, for what reason and who actually is behind the account I don't know...but let me make one thing very clear, the "Cap" doesn't cause the pressure to go up or down, you can have a hose in the reservoir for continuous water input, the water pressure comes from the pump LOL. Also the numbers are not about the battery ability, the battery lasts for a VERY LONG TIME, I love it's battery. He is clearly trying to stand up for the company "CORRECT NUMBERS" almost like he is working for the company LOL(Who still refuses to update their numbers so their potential customers truly know what they are buying🤦🏻♂️). As it sits, I've tried timing this unit using all variations of Spray settings, and the numbers only shift by a VERY SMALL %...so NOPE, spray settings do not cause any difference that really matters. Better luck next time @Raxnn 😂

Also the instructions are real vague, when u use wall charger , will the light turn green ? The gauge is reading over 12 v but the wall jack is still red
Alright sounds like a plan they claimed in one bullet point that it would last 7:30 on center mode. Also just want to say i love everything you put out and have been watching for awhile now, youre one of the few content creators i can get my dad to sit through and watch all your videos on both channels! Keep up the good work boss man!
Wow I’m not surprised…it’s shame to see a company blatantly lying to their customers. It’s not a hard thing to figure out. I’m shocked more people aren’t bitching about it. Wow. That is a quality compliment, I’m honored to hear that. Thank you. Keep spreading the work of my content, it’s the best way to allow me to keep doing what I do!
@@GY6outdoors bruh.... i think you need to retest this and this time during the testing don't turn the cap off the resivoir. you know that keeps it pressurized right?
The system is pressurized and the second you unscrewed the cap in the middle of the test to see how much water was left it "ran out of water". Then you started it back up with the top unscrewed and we could see/hear the pump fighting to deliver water but with no pressure. Looks like user error from my point of view.
Oh I know, but this is a outdoor product and reviewing things like this, no matter how over priced it is, still deserves a review for those looking to buy it.
@@GY6outdoors you are a moron man. do you think that the unit would be pressurised still while you are checking the reservoir mid testing? no wonder you lost pressure after turning the cap off. give me a break man. use your head for once.

I just picked one up for $110 at Costco. Filled it up all the way and then put the nozzle on shower and used the part on the handle that keeps it open instead of having to hold the handle itself open. Doing this it was still running at 8 minutes but was sputtering here and there and it still had 1/4 tank of water but the pressure was horrible. Started out ok but it cycles on and off and doesn’t spray a steady stream. Pump starts pulsating after 3-4 minutes. The biggest problem with this kit in my opinion is there is no way to completely drain this. That makes me worry that the water will start turning slimy then moldy. So I think I’ll return it.
