Ivation Battery-Powered Waterproof Handheld Portable Shower – Turns Water From Bucket/Basin/Sink Into Steady, Gentle Stream – Suitable for Indoor/Outdoor Use, Pet Washing, Car Washing, Camping, Baby Showering – Powered by Built-In Lithium 2200mAh Rechargeable Battery

My husband and I were camping in South Dakota and there were no showers. I boiled water and used a bucket for the water. The water pressure was good, better than I had expected and I was able to have an entire shower which I really enjoyed. The only thing is the attachment at the top. I purchased a shower tent and there was only a hook and the top part really needs to be attached to a pole to keep it in place. I plan to use it in the lake in the summer to wash the dog.

Thus us perfect for us when we are camping to shower, do dishes, or to give our dogs a bath.

We are offgrid and this has been amazing. A 6 gallon bucket gives almost 20 minute hot shower.

Purchased this shower years ago. I used it for 2 and a half years in an off grid living situation. The only thing about this shower is you must ensure the pump is set up where it can drain and stay dry.

I suction causes a nice even flow of water.I bought it to rinse my dogs off in the tub. Be mindful to only allow clean water to pass through the portable shower, to keep it running properly.

The battery is the onlily thing that doesn’t convince me, it has 1 hour life ando the Charging time Is a lot (2.5 hours just for a us of One hour) I Wish to be more than tha

This thing is awesome. We usually go without a shower while camping – weekend trips, just a quick dip in the lake. But this past summer we had a 9 day trip and I knew my wife wanted hot showers.
So we bought this, a popup shower stall (like $50 on here), and a huge enamelware pot (used, $10). Filled the pot with lake water, put it on the fire until steamy, then put the pot in the corner of the stall, dropped in the pump for this thing , and hung the showerhead from the top. WOW! Felt fancy.
The water pressure is very impressive for something this price. The battery lasts a long time, many many showers. Only catch: with this much water coming through you need to have a lot of water available otherwise it will run out fast. In my opinion, that’s a good problem to have 🙂

The only thing I do not like is the on-off button is on the pump. It would be really nice if it was on the shower handle. You’ve got to reach your hand into the bucket to turn it off. In the backcountry hot water doesn’t grow on trees usually. Have to use it sparingly and can’t have the shower turned on all the time.

We had the misfortune to have a sketchy contractor and subs and still don’t have a tiled or usable shower/tub in our house, so after going to families’ homes and hotels far too many times, I bought this. We eventually had hot water to a sink so I could put warm water in a 5 gallon bucket to shower. The pressure isn’t super strong, but enough to get wet, clean and rinsed, which saved a lot of money. I looked at ones that had an external piece, but they seemed too involved. I would say the battery lasts at least 3 times at 3-5 gallons being used. I switch it off after getting wet and also aim the sprayer into the bucket as I am turning it off to save water. It is simple to use and simple to recharge (FYI, don’t misplace the charger because you can’t use something ordinary.) It was also left in the bucket with water still in it by my hubby a few times and the seal continued to work properly. It would be great for campers and not terribly expensive.

Shower arrived today, I charged it up for a few hours, filled a 5 gallon bucket with water, and gave it a test run. Everything worked great, good pressure. BUT the problem is that the water pressure is too good. I marked each gallon on the side of the bucket so I could time it, and it uses one gallon every 40 seconds. Because you don’t want to ever let the pump run without water, I had to turn it off when it reached the last gallon in the bucket. So it went through four gallons in 160 seconds. Less than three minutes. How can anyone shower and get shampoo rinsed out of their hair in that amount of time? They say in the description that it lasts must longer than that. So good pressure equals not enough time. Not sure if that’s good or bad? Also, to keep the switch and charging port out of the water and hopefully get a longer life out of this thing, I cut a hole in a piece if foam and pushed it partway through, so that the pump is under water, but electronics are above water. It floats and lowers with the water level. Worked great. Can’t rate longevity yet, since I just tried it once.

Wonderful product. At present i cannot get to the bathroom but this shower enables me to have a thorough wash downstairs.

Excellent had heating problem, and really worked well to get a shower while heating was repaired, easy to use, and gave a good shower.

I promised my wife last year that we’d have a shower this summer when we went camping. This option turned out to be a good one, but there were a few negatives.
I liked this shower because it has a usb charging port, which I paired up with a solar charger, so we never worried about keeping it at a full charge. When we were done with the shower we just plugged it back in and kept it charged. That part was nice. This pump will suck up a 5 gallon bucket in 4.5 minutes with great water pressure. 4.5 minutes can go by fast. The biggest downside is the power button. If you don’t want the water to drain so fast, you’ll want to turn it off, but if you then get all lathered up with soap, you have to put your soapy hands in the water bucket and get soap inside you clean water in order to even turn it back on. Then your spraying soapy water on yourself to rinse off. The other negative was the port to charge battery. Many people that wrote reviews said that water got inside and ruined it. That’s because the cover for the USB port doesn’t have a rubber seal, so if you fully submerge the pump, it’s only a matter of time before it leaks through and gets inside the wrong part of the pump. I solved this by buying a floating beer koozy for pools. I put the pump inside the middle of it and let it float on the top of the water, allowing only the bottom part of the pump to be exposed to the water, leaving the top out of the water the whole time so I don’t have to worry about water getting through to the USB port. I think that’ll help it last a bit longer. It took a few mods for it to be the way I want it, but overall I think it’s a decent shower for on the go

This my second product in two years, I use this as a full-time shower and gets used on average twice a day at the very minimum. That’s 700+ uses for a product that’s only meant to be used intermittently.
The product charges in less than an hour and once turned on has a decent water pressure for something which has the same power(~2000mah) as a 2013 smart phone.
I can also manage to get 4-6 uses before a fresh charge which is really good.

I bought this for use with washing our dogs. My husband was very sceptical, thinking it couldn’t possibly be any good at such a low price. He has now admitted he was wrong! We bought the collapsible bucket at the same time and together they make it so easy to wash the dogs after a muddy walk. You fill the bucket with warm water, put the motor end of the hose in it and switch it on. It produces a nice, soft stream of water, but a strong enough stream to clean the dogs.
We even used it ourselves in the bathroom once, when our shower broke and it was fine. We placed it in the basin next to the bath and turned on the taps to produce a steady trickle of warm water and hooked the spray end over the shower fitting.

The shower came in handy when camping or plumbing repairs required that the water be turned off in the house. Thankfully the water supply to the garden hoses worked. A bucket of water is just enough to enjoy a single showering experience.

The stream is gentler when compared with the regular shower, but does a very good job of rinsing off the soap lather.

Added bonus, both my dogs hate showers, but seem to show a preference for outdoor baths.
Bottom line: Recommended.

Having a new bathroom so no facilities for 10 days. So in desperation for us to have a shower I splashed out -see what I did there- on one of these bad boys. easy to charge, USB into computer or plug, took no time to charge. Then the real test. As I stood on a garden chair I placed my bucket of warm water on the garden table. As my doubtful other half stood petrified, soap in hand, I placed the battery end into my bucket. DRUM ROLL. It gently started to come through and then in no time it was like having a real electric shower, that’s ignoring my neighbours in fits of giggles over the wall. ok it was outside but that’s the only negative. used over the 2 week period and charged only once, yep it even holds a charge, something that nothing else seems to do in this day and age. Anyway, bottom line, you won’t regret this purchase if it’s for a caravan, camping, hot tub or whatever floats your boat, great buy, even the other half agrees and believe me nothing makes him happy:}

I bought this for camping; to shower, clean boots, etc. It worked BRILLIANTLY! Our last camping trip was a four-day regional burning man event with no showers or even running water–in late May in Texas and it rained every day–so you can just imagine the heat, humidity, and mud. I don’t know how we would have made it without this shower. We set it up out back of our camp with a five gallon bucket and our washcloths and towels, and used the bucket lid as an impromptu mat to stand on. It worked GREAT for showering and washing hair, and during the heat of the days we could easily grab a quick cold rinse-off to keep from frikken passing out in the heat and humidity. For a warm shower we added hot water heated on our camping stove. At some point we realized we didn’t pack the USB charging cable and figured we’d be SOL after a couple of days of use, but the doggone thing held a charge the whole time, only getting truly feeble the afternoon of the last day while we were packing up to leave. We were really surprised at that and SO thankful! Great purchase and I’d highly recommend.

One side-note: Part of why we were so surprised at the battery’s longevity is that we used this shower so frequently every day… not just to shower and keep cool but to follow a protocol to protect us from poison ivy. The entire festival site for this event is plagued with poison ivy and it’s a huge annual issue for most participants. I want to share the protocol we’ve found because it’s so effective. As many people know, the urushiol oil in poison ivy is what gets you. The oil is sticky and like other oils is waterproof and quite resistant to washing off, even with warm water and soap. What most people don’t know is that the oil needs 2-3 hours to penetrate your skin and set off a reaction, so if you can get it off you before then you’re in the clear. A good degreasing soap (we use Dawn dishwashing soap) does the trick, but here’s the common problem people have: scrubbing with your hands, even really vigorously, leaves traces of oil behind. The webs between fingers/toes and the backsides of forearms are notorious spots… t’s crazy how many poison ivy rashes begin on the back of a forearm because folks thought they washed up well but didn’t scrub the backs of their arms enough. The fix is to use a washcloth to scrub up, and it WORKS. We got stuck having to set up in a spot RIDDLED with poison ivy on the ground and with this protocol of washing up regularly, using Dawn dishwashing soap and a washcloth, we avoided any outbreaks. We each had our own washcloth and rinsed them thoroughly after each use. We’re both very sensitive to poison ivy and get TERRIBLE rashes from it, so our success with this protocol is a Big Deal with a capital B and a capital D. Try it and share it!

It drops in to a bucket of water it works sucks water out of the buxket and sprays water but not very forceful ok for showering a poodle dog that got dirty and mudy or for cooling off in the garden in summe

Tried it out in kichen sink and really impressed. Really quite powerful with good flow. I reckon you could have a decent shower with one bucketful as long as you dont hang around.

I needed a portable shower for camping with friends each year and after doing a lot of research I settled on this model. Having used it for an entire week last summer I would happily recommend this to anyone. The water pressure is surprisingly strong and you get several decent length showers from a single charge. Forget the solar bags, or even the more expensive pump style versions….this is the only bit of kit that you will ever need!

We live in Jamaica, the capital called Kingston where we have lots of water shortages occurring during the summer because our retarded and backward thinking government officials won’t come up with a solution to fixing the problem except telling the public year after year to CONSERVE which is something they don’t even understand when it comes to our tax dollar! Anyway, this item is a God sent for people like us who are tired of bathing in a bucket of water and a plastic cup. Yes, we still have to use the bucket with this item but the real pain is pouring the water over yourself with the cup. We tried many solutions such as the fillable plastic bag/bottle with the shower attachment, didn’t work cuz the water kept pouring out and as the water in the plastic bag/bottle went low so did the water pressure. We tried the foot pump air pressure shower gizmo, it was too much of a workout when showering and not relaxing at all considering you have to keep pumping up the air pressure to get a constant water flow. Well here comes the Ivation Battery Powered Handheld Portable Shower. Just charge it up and drop it in the water and it give a constant flow of water pressure all the time. When you don’t need the water flowing, just put the shower head into the same bucket or press the button to turn it off. Easy to setup up and to use. We tested it on a 50 gallon drum of water on a single charge and it still had battery power left to do more. The only problem that made me give it a 4 star rather than a 5 star is that the hose connected to the pump side will fall off because the collar that should tighten the hose onto the tapered end is not tight enough to compress the hose against the pump side nozzle. This is easily fixed with a drop of crazy glue to hold the hose on so that the pump doesn’t go crashing to the ground. In closing, this is a great product and I’m gonna order another one since I just bought this one to test out.

I was unsure as to how good this product would be but we used it at a festival over the weekend and it was superb. The charged battery provided us with ample showers and saved us having to wait with the crowds for the festivals showers. My only small critisism is that it does spin around a bit when you hang it up in the shower tent and the pump can go off mid shower if there is not a lot of water in the tub – I would certainly recommend it though.

Fantastic invention- works really well- good pressure and so far so good!

Excellent shower. Nice and easy to use. I needed it for a disability use and so can be used anywhere for a shower and wash. Battery life is fine, get a good three showers from one charge. Pressure is not too high but enough to use for a decent shower.

i used this when my boiler was condemned left with the prospect of no showers until we could get a new boiler installed. I brought a gorilla bucket 9l and this. It worked a real treat, using bucket with cold water then filled with 2 kettles of boiling water and a large saucepan. I attached my own shower head and hay presto warm shower enough time to have a normal shower. Flow a lot stronger than I thought great gadget total life saver.
