Sports reviews of Advanced Elements 5 Gallon Summer Shower / Solar Shower
Customer Review: Details make a great shower
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This is the third and best sun shower I've owned. It heats water well, as advertised. I use it camping to wash dishes, to shower and to wash my hands.
The details make this shower stand out from the others I've owned...
* The filling hole has a screw-on cap which easy to put on with one hand.
* There is a mesh pocket on the front. I use it to hold eye glasses or soap.
* You can hang the shower nozzle on either corner of the bag with handy velcro tabs. Very useful because sometimes the nozzle drips if you leave it dangling.
* The carry handle is comfortable
There are two pockets. One for the mirror, so it does't get scratched. Over that pocket, is the mesh pocket for soap, etc. The mirror is about as reflective as tinfoil, btw.
I have one complaint... one seam burst open after it fell off its hanger. Other sun showers I've owned fell many many many times over many years before bursting open at the seam. Despite this, I highly recommend this shower.

For the price, this solar shower is pretty good. Really had doubts where we received it. Bought for grandchildren to shower with instead of using public facilities when camping. It was only around 65 degrees the first time we used it. Filled it and put it in the sun as directed. Went off hiking and what a surprise when we returned. It was very warm!!! It is quiet heavy when filled and is difficult to tie up in a tree but once up, it worked well. Three young boys used it (and loved it) and there was enough water for two adults!!! It was easy to lay out and adjust it open to dry out after use. The disadvantages are that it is very heavy when filled and the shut off on the shower will not turn off completely and you have to fold it up to stop the drip. Do not know how long it will last but it did what we wanted it for.Customer Review: good

works good for what it is supposed to do, and seems very sturdy. No problems yet, except for one silly small thing- the directions say to rinse with baking soda before use, and it seems that I have not been able to rinse the baking soda out yet. I haven't used it very much, but it does seem hard to rinse this, and I swear even when I fill it with soft water, the baking soda causes my hair to feel like it's fried when I wash with it. Call me crazy but..... I wish I could figure out a way to rinse this thing with something that will rinse all the way out. I like to fill it with soft water from my house when I can, so that my hair is nice and soft when I use this.Customer Review: forever clean

What?? You don't know how easy it is to take a shower every day in the woods? Try this solar shower. I use two of them together to get the same kind of spray I get at home, but then I'm a woman. I own 5 of the competition's solar shower. They don't hold a candle to the Advanced Element. Why? The EASY screw-on top. These babies heat up in a few hours and allow me time for the shampoo, conditioner and a luxury hot shower in the middle of anywhere. Then I re-fill it back up - re-heat it and I have warm to hot water to rinse my dishes in! Pretty cool!Customer Review: Not perfect but will do nicely.

Wanted something to heat water to wash dishes and people. This will do that. Had a hard time deciding on this one larger one or two have this size but finally decided on just one would have to do. This model had the best reviews and a few extra features over similar brands for similar price. Car camp and ride bikes hauling camp gear on bike trailer....peddle power and car camping this well go. But we'll probably leave at home on over night backpacking.
