LUOOV Best Budget Pick for the Backyard Portable camping shower
All you need is a bucket and a fully charged battery, and you can bring the comforts of your home shower into the outdoors with the Ivation Portable. It's not only one of the most comfortable, consistently pressured showers we tested; it's also among the least expensive. It's impressively easy to use, with an uncomplicated design that makes you wonder why you didn't buy one years ago. The battery is housed within the pump, easily recharging with a USB cord in a few hours to give you a relaxing run time of around 50 minutes. The wide shower head and flexible hose make it pleasant to rinse with and painless to bathe squirming dogs or children.
Of course, not all required materials are included — you'll need your own USB adapter and a bucket to hold water. And with an impressively high rate of flow (1.2 gallons per minute), you're more likely to run out of water before battery power. But if you don't mind repurposing a cooler or empty bucket, setting this shower up in the backyard is a cinch. We have some worries about the charging port, which is located under a plastic cap on the pump housing. Fully submerging this seems like tempting fate if you forget to secure that cap even just once — or if you break it. We also would love to see a bit longer hose, as this one is just shy of 6 feet. Yet even as it is, we love how satisfying this shower is to use, and we don't mind saving a few bucks for this convenient backyard rinse station.
