Product failed, but Nemo made good.
Can't imagine camping without it. We've used a converted weed sprayer before which worked well but was a pain to pack. The Helio packs up small and compact, provides adequate pressure and when left in the sun for the better part of the day provides hot water.3/31/2017 UPDATE: In speaking at length with the product developers at Nemo - they called me to get more information on how I used this product - we narrowed it down to how the unit was stored. I kept it in a sealed Pelican case where I also had two propane bottles. They believe, as do I, that latent gas in that sealed case compromised the material used at the junction of the tube and the cap. I've bought another despite the knock-off now available on Amazon. Nemo deserves my business for the lengths they went to take care of me and get to the bottom of their product's performance.3/23/16 UPDATE: So disappointed to have this fail on our last trip to Moab. A galvanized junction in the tubing just aft of the pump split. It's been used a dozen times or so and has been in our kit for about a year. For the money, I expected this to be pretty bullet proof.Upon further inspection it looks like the material is failing. The tube coming out of the foot pump to a pressure fitting has disintegrated, the one-way valve on the foot pump has separated from the housing, and the lid from the top has disintegrated. The plastic is failing.I got in touch with the folks at Nemo and they're replacing the unit, so kudos for them for taking care of their clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooo much better than the camp showers of old
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2014

This is really a solid product. We tested it out at our remote (as in no electricity or hot water) Idaho cabin for a week with daily use. We found that it worked extremely well and is a substantial upgrade over the 5 gallon camp showers of old. The product is well constructed and operates exactly as described. The pressurization function is really smart and works well, and the base and handle design make it easy to move around. We found that filling it in the morning and leaving it in the sun all day produced a nice, warm shower by the afternoon. In fact, we were able to get from cold creek water temp to shower temp in just a few hours by placing the shower in direct summer sunlight. The shower easily provides warm water for 2-3 showers. Congrats to Nemo Equipment for taking camping cleanliness to the next level. Bottom line: Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely the best camp shower
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014

I was able to use my new Helio shower for the first time this past weekend, not as a shower, but as a camper kitchen water source. It works perfectly! Over an extended weekend in which I had to wash dishes after several meals, it made that job so much easier at my camp site. It only takes a few pumps of the foot pump to pressurize the container sufficiently. Depending on the amount of water in the container, the pressure lasts a long time before it is necessary to pump it again with the foot pump. The sprayer is just like typical kitchen sink sprayers at home, so it's much easier to use than the "shower heads" of lesser camp showers.

It was also nice for washing my hands and face--again very easy to use. Since I didn't have a privacy tent, I didn't try it as a shower--and for comfort, that might require pre-heating some water. After sitting in the sun for a few hours, the water wasn't unpleasantly cold for hands and face, but it was a bit chilly for a shower.

Others have complained about difficulty filling the container. I solved this with an inexpensive small plastic funnel from an auto supply store, normally used to fill automatic transmissions. I cut off the spout of the funnel at a point in which the funnel spout was the right diameter to just fit in the fill port of the container and extend far enough into it that it wouldn't fall out--total solution.

The container is large enough that the water lasts a long time, but it also compacts well for packing--and it's very light weight. Both of these attributes are necessary for my airplane camping, as there isn't room to carry a large heavy shower container.

I have carried a camp shower with me for years (the black, hang from something bag type) to use as a camp kitchen water source. Because this was the first time out with the Helio shower, I brought along my old camp shower "just in case". I didn't use it, didn't need it, and next time it will stay home.

Update Nov. 21, 2014: The instructions say to hang the container upside down to dry it out, but there's no way to do that. After contacting Nemo and getting their OK (didn't want to affect the warranty), I put a couple of holes in the skirt that it sits on, to string a cord for hanging. Problem solved.

Also, the plugs for the pump and the top are hard to insert and remove, so again clearing it first with Nemo, I now use some Vaseline to lubricate them, which makes it much easier to insert and remove the plugs.

Update June 9, 2015: I used this as a shower for the first time this past weekend, as I have finally acquired a privacy/shower tent. The Helio about half full sat in the sun all day, and by 3 p.m. I thought it was warm enough--the container was warm, the water sprayed into my hands was warm, but it turns out I like a warmer shower. It wasn't "freezing", but in the future I'll have to warm the water more than just allowing the bright Colorado sun to do it. Brrrr!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for light duty rinsing; well made
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
Pros
Solid construction with high quality materials; very light; folds into a surprisingly small form factor for EZ packing; excellent for light duty uses (e.g., rinsing off sandy feet or the sweat after a hot, dusty hike); acceptable for bathing involving soap and shampoo due to its middling water pressure.

Cons
The small opening makes for tedious, messy water filling (expect a mess if you're dirt camping); frequent pumping required to maintain water pressure (more so as the device empties); no accessory to hang bag (water pressure improves when bag is suspended above where spray handle is held); hose connection at base easily kinks; small shower head makes rinsing shampoo a bit tedious; best performance requires firm flat surface; you need two strong legs and good balance so contraindicated for folks with lower extremity impairments such amputation, muscle weakness, balance problems, etc

Recommendations
Water pressure improves markedly when placed above your shoulders. Unfortunately, the handle design cannot support the weight of a filled bag. I MacGyvered a hanging device using a large frying pan and paracord to suspend the bag; this results in better water pressure and less required pumping, especially when the water volume gets low.

Bottom line
Priced appropriately given its quality and performance. Very portable; well constructed; operates at ground level, though the frequent foot pumping to maintain constant water pressure does get tedious; performs well for light duty uses; folks with long, thick hair may find it hard to rinse out shampoo.

Awesome portable shower, dish washer, dog washer, or just need to rinse anything. If you do any kind of back country camping or adventuring absolute must. Ultra compact, one of my favorite additions to my camping gear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Des avantages et des inconvénients
Reviewed in France on July 25, 2017

Pas mal du tout ! Très peu encombrante, légère, d'une bonne contenance (on prend 3 douches avec, sans lavage des cheveux). La pression baisse plus vous levez la douchette haut (pour les cheveux notamment). D'autre part le pied glisse facilement quand vous souhaitez pomper, pour peu que cela soit mouillé. Or c'est bien évidemment souvent le cas. Cela reste néanmoins un bon produit, fonctionnel et pratique. J'enlève une étoile pour le prix. J'ai vu que Decathlon en faisait une à peu près équivalente (non testée) et moitié moins chère.

4.0 out of 5 stars works good so far

Bought this as due a recommendation of a real hard core Tent-guy. Used it the first time this summer and it worked great. A fair bit of pumping is necessary to have enough pressure to get a good shower but so far i am happy. If it is still working in 4 years i would give a five star rating.
After the trip though it would be a good idea to unfold it and dry it.
