Outback Shower Reviews

4.8 Rating 33 Reviews
Incredible appliance! Very easy to set up and move around given the pump and fuel are all there in a tidy package. I have portable shower units from two other manufacturers and this is far and away my favorite for most jobs. The water flow is, of course, less than units that connect to garden hose but that is very good for water conservation. Because of the convenience my Kakadu gets nearly daily use while the others just sit in storage!

A few weeks ago, during an unusual cold snap and snowstorm, the main water line to the house cracked and was leaking under the driveway. Because the damaged line was not actually IN the house, the homeowners insurance would not cover the repairs, or any expenses related to the damage (like alternate housing). With a family of 6 (including two toddlers), an indefinite hotel stay was not an option for us financially as we were going to have to pay a hefty amount to repair the water line. We have been camping many times as a family, so we decided to "rough it" with bottled water for drinking and treated rain barrel water for bathing and flushing toilets. I can't express enough how thankful we were to have a way to take a hot shower with the use of the Kakadu Outback Portable Hot Water Shower! It is amazingly easy to set up, simple to use, and generates hot water very quickly. It's great that we can adjust the temperature to a lower setting for bathing the toddlers. It has literally saved us a very expensive, long hotel stay and made "roughing it" not quite so rough! (Disclaimer: we did make sure to have proper ventilation along with a carbon monoxide alarm in the area where we used it). So not only is it useful for camping/hiking, but also in disaster areas/emergency situations. Definitely a 5 star product!

It is a great kit and I really like it. It is compact and easy to use. Works great. The temp meter could have a lower setting. I never take it off the low setting. It works best with cold water.

I bought this with the intention of using it inside my RV. Now, disclaimer...it clearly states on it and in the manual DO NOT USE INDOORS. However, I live full time in my RV and it gets below freezing here so during the winter I am not hooked up to water. I turn on my roof vent fan and have absolutely no problems. Very happy with my purchase.

Very satisfied with my purchase. What i like the most about the outback shower is it heats up really quick! It fits perfectly inside my RAV4. I paired it my a 5 gallon jerry can with a large spout opening so I can just drop the pump. Great product.

I, and my entire family, absolutely love this outback shower. So convenient, it is compact and extremely easy to operate. Provides hot water on demand and where you need it. It is so portable I can now move my shower where ever we want. I am not restricted to a mounted water heater, nor do I need to stay near my propane tank, literally anywhere I want to take it. I also use it to provide hot water for dishes, a simple foot rinse area, or to spray down the bikes or gear before packing up. This is the best purchase I had made in terms of camp comfort. My wife wanted hot water, I didn’t think it was needed and have seen other water heaters and thought it would be too much a hassle to setup and use, but then I saw a video about the outback shower and that changed everything. So easy and so fast, my 12 year old son sets it up and gets it going. I also purchased the soft case for it, which I like a lot as well. I had also purchased a 5 gallon storage container /bucket from Lowes. I can store extra tubes and and sink faucet and spare shower heads that I have. That 5 gallon buckets also doubles as a water container when using the shower outside my rigs plumbing.
