Customers are mixed about the quality of the watering can. Some mention it works well, is fantastic, and heats up water. However, others say that it's kind of cheaply made, the hose and shower faucet fell off, and is a knock off imitation. The bag had a strong petroleum/plastic odor that didn't dissipate.

"This bag is sturdy and easy to use. I replaced the tube with a sturdier, longer tube because the original crimped too easily. But it's a great bag." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the watering can. Some mention that it's worth the cheap price, the peace of mind is worth the cost, and it saves them money at festivals. However, others say that it is a waste of money, the nozzle is cheap, and the hose to the shower head is so cheap that it kinks at the slightest bend. The hanging hardware included is also pretty cheap and poorly suited to the task.

"...But given the low price, I think it is worth it - we treat it as a semi-disposable product that we can use for many showers but certainly not..." Read more

"...PRO's:- Cheap (low priced), cost me less than $9, free shipping from Amazon with over $25 of qualifying Amazon purchase.-..." Read more

"...At 5 gallons, that's awkward.Basically, Chinese crapware that's not quite worth the 25+$ they charge, and likely to fail after a few..." Read more

"...But they're cheap so who cares? Closing nozzles are not water-tight so just tie a loose knot in the tube to keep the water from dripping out." Read more

Customers are mixed about the capacity of the watering can. Some mention it holds a lot of water, and is enough for two showers. However, others say that it loses lots of water.

"...It definitely serves it's purpose and the 5 gallons is enough for two showers (if you don't have long hair)." Read more

"...The only thing I don't like is that it's hard to drain completely for storage. It's going to get skanky if I can't figure out how to dry it out." Read more

"...It held enough water to wash our hands, rinse our dishes, and wash our hair over our weekend trip...." Read more

"...Lather up and rinse off. It’s more than enough water and heats up throughout the day. My wife and I used 1.5 gallons for both of us...." Read more

52 customers mention33 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the watering can. Some mention that it's really simple, convenient, and easy to turn on. However, others say that it is difficult to use without any shut off valve in the tubing, flimsy, and there are no directions on how to actually use it.

"This bag is sturdy and easy to use. I replaced the tube with a sturdier, longer tube because the original crimped too easily. But it's a great bag." Read more

"...2. Carrying the filled bag - can be awkward, but it's sort of a function of 5 gals of water weight and the handle... BUT, if you add to it an issue..." Read more

"...It heats up during the day and is ready for use when we get back to the campsite." Read more

"...Its so easy to use too, all you do is fill it with water from a faucet, river, pond or lake.. then lay it on the gound in the sun!..." Read more

127 customers mention10 positive117 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the watering can. They mention that the spout port to fill the bag leaks, the water will drip out a little, and the hose is hard to drain. Customers also say that the seal on the cap is not very good and the water sprays all over.

"...However, after repeated use it can leak, as it did for us, so we got new one after many uses...." Read more

"...The value that shuts off the water is prone a slow leaks and is not sturdy...." Read more

"...with water on a flat surface according to the instruction, water will leak from the plug and may stop leaking after a little while...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the watering can. They mention that it rips at the seam after a few uses, the rubber around the handle rip, and the box came crushed and ripped. Some say that the shower head has cracked and the seams have broken.

"...Poor Workmanship/Quality Control. Seam on the bottom fell apart and the water started to pour out from the seam while its been hung from a tree...." Read more

"...to be used in hot weather (to heat up the water), the material tends to become very stretchy and malleable to the point where even just lifting the..." Read more

"...the box arrived damaged and there were marks on bag that I am concerned will wear through soon..." Read more

"...Like taking a where's bath. The handle/hanger hole tore open so now I'm looking for a way to jerryrig it so I can hang it. Maybe duct tape?..." Read more

Heats water, but have a good plan on where to hang it up at.

Heats water, but have a good plan on where to hang it up at.
This solar shower heats the water nicely. It is quite heavy when filled, and can take 2 people to lift. We built a PVC shower to use it with, but the weight of the water made it tip over easily. There really aren't any instructions on how to hang it, if there are no strong trees around, you are out of luck. It has to be held up higher than the person for the the sprayer to work, and getting it very high up into a tree may be difficult if you are out camping. Overall, it worked well to heat the water but needs better information on how to hang it to use.
