F.A.Z. Kaufkompass tested five camping shower models, powered by battery or solar energy. The test measured water flow time for 10 liters and assessed pressure by removing dried ketchup. The Kesser model with an external battery delivered three minutes of showering with good pressure. The Quechua solar shower heats water without electricity but requires manual pumping.
