I don't need or aspire to be, an influencer. No companies are giving me anything gratis. I'm merely sharing my feelings and speaking about my experiences. My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

In my opinion, the Geyser system is an ingenious solution to bathing with very little water. It is more refreshing than a sponge bath or a navy shower, in my opinion. There are certainly cheaper and cruder alternatives, but the Geyser is priced in line with other portable shower systems, like the RinseKit Cube, Joolca, and Big Kahuna.

I realize that not everyone can afford such kit. Furthermore, some folks actually enjoy "roughing it". While I don't own (or want) the likes of a Grech RV, I do appreciate comfort and convenience. And that means a degree of complexity and expense that goes beyond the "no build" builds.

One last thing: I've had no problems with my Geyser during the 2 years I've owned it. I have had an occasion to reach out to customer service, which is US based and was responsive.
 
I use 1 gallon for bucket baths (no soap to rinse off, this would take many gallons) and thats once in 3 days, just like people did for thousands of years, can't think of better setup. May be a mug of water for daily washups in between. I got two showers in my rig, internal and external, never use them, got portable electric shower too, dont use that either. Buying actual shower in places once in 2-3 weeks to shower with soap works fine. I got really nice hair which only need washing once in 2-3 weeks, with weak vinegar solution (shampoos are unnatural hair and skin destroyers and the more one washes the hair the greasier and needier they will become). Hair properly weened off soap and shampoo low ph damage become sort of like wild fox fur, shiny and naturally dirt-repellant (given there are no underlying health or nutritional issues, in fact hair can be used as a gauge to judge nutrition quality just like in animals)
