However, after repeated use it can leak, as it did for us, so we got new one after many uses. 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 something that will last forever. With realistic expectations, you are likely to be pleased.
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.
Cons: the tube that delivers the water kinks easily, which impedes flow. The value that shuts off the water is prone a slow leaks and is not sturdy. The bag itself is flimsy and good luck with it surviving if it's dropped when full of water. And there's no handy hooks on the bag to attach to the string they give you to hang it up; you have to loop it around the handle, which doesn't make for a steady support. (Loop it around the handle a bunch of times so the string doesn't slide and rip the bag.) The S hook they give you to hang things up doesn't fit around the handle, so you use it on the other end of the string, and, well, it's an S hook - prone to slipping. And to add insult to injury, it's just plain hard to fill without making a mess., Bring a funnel, hang the bag, fill it and close it, take it down it and lay it on a tarp in the sun to heat it, and then hang it again for use. 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 seasons of use. I'm using it for emergency prep situations so it won't get used often, so for me that's fine. I wouldn't make it camping.
Note that it says right on the item that you shouldn't drink water from the bag. So much for using it to preheat cooking water so you use less fuel when cooking.
To get 5 stars? Make it food safe, make it sturdy, give a lifetime guarantee against leaks and bursting, make it freezer safe so it can also be used as an ice pack, add two hooks to the corners so it hangs without sliding around, maybe use paracord as the rope, and above all make the hose and valve sturdy so you get water when, but only when, you want it. In short, redesign. Coleman used to mean more than this.

It works well but must be hung from a tree, you can't get someone to hold it up for you. The bag is over a foot long and the hose is two feet long, the entire thing must be over your head for water to come out. The hose kinks if you try to move it around sideways. It's heavy when filled. 5 gallons of water weights almost 50 pounds. keep that in mind.
Overall it's pretty cheap but for ten bucks it does the job
20 litros disponibles de agua, se calienta en cuestión de 30 minutos al sol y la salida es de tipo regadera.
Excelente para darse un regaderazo o lavar platos y utensilios.
Ten en cuenta que son 20 kilos lo que pesa, así que no es tan fácil de maniobrar.
