Coleman Portable Water Heater

When it's charged and works for about 5 minutes it's great. Although here are a few things that really irritate me about it. The battery only lasts 5 minutes before it needs to be recharged. We didn't figure this out until we were on our 2 week long trip up the coast. We ended up solving this by using the dc plug and a power bank to run the pump while we needed extra time. The temperature setting is very misleading. When you start it and turn it on. Don't even think about turning it past the minimum setting. It will overheat and shut off the pump and flame. There's no way to shut off the pump while also turning off the heater. So if you're showering and trying to conserve water it's near impossible without having to relight your heater. Kinda dumb. Overall the water does does really hot fast.

Bad purchase. The shower hose is too short to use in a shower inclosure with the unit outside where it is required to be. This unit does not come with a battery charger. It does come with a cigarette lighter adaptor cord, that runs your car battery down because it takes 6 hours or more to charge. I had to charge 24hrs. to get full charge. This is the stripped model (2302-B) . If you really need this hand held shower buy the advanced model (2302-A). it comes with an AC adapter/charger, a system on-off switch for safety, USB charging ports, system lights that show you condition of your battery charge, an electric starter, and a shower wand that is adjustable. When I went to the Coleman website they did not show any other model. The AC adapter is a big deal because I can't use electrical outlets to run or charge the unit. It doesn't tell you the type of adapter you need to buy to use on the unit either in the manual or on their website. 12v adapters come in different charging outputs ranging from 4.5 volts to 12volts . For the price of $300.00 this unit should have eveything you need to run and comfortably use anywhere you go. I am very disappointed with Coleman who has been my primary go-to outdoor equipment company for over 50 years. Now it seems they just want to nickle and dime you for equipment add-ons like other conglomerate corporations just so they can maximize profit margins, instead of quality products at a fair price.
