What we like
- No battery, no charging, works anywhere you can get hot water
- Genuinely pocketable in a jacket or the outside pouch of a pack
- Surprisingly durable for how light and small it is
What we don't
- Requires real arm effort and consistent technique to hit good pressure
- Tiny water capacity means one shot at a time, no more
- Cleanup involves rinsing several small parts after every use
