Very versatile, a bit expensive (got mine on sale) but really handy in so many ways.

I wouldn't shower under that Helio pressure shower there (brrr Scotland brrr) but I can see it coming in handy for lots of other things. How long does it stay pressurised after you pump it up?

I bought an ezyline clothes line in a garden centre sale. It's so great to string up between poles, a couple of trees etc, and no pegs required. It's strong enough to hold four beach towels. Then I tried to get another for my mum and they had sold out, and it seems they are made in Australia.

I wish I could. I wouldn't have a clue where to start. My friend runs a birth ball business and imports from China, I really admire her. I sent them an email asking if they had more UK stockists. Goodness knows how a few ended up in the garden centre!

They replied and said no stockists, but they could ship to the UK. Would be worth it if a few people clubbed together and shared the postage cost, which wasn't huge, just too much for me to order one more pack! And I only paid £2 for mine.

I think they would catch on if marketed properly. It really is easy to take the clothes off the line with one hand. The grooves even hold men's jeans.

It can be filled with warm water, cold showers not required. It only holds 11 liters so 2 or 3 liters of hot water heated on the cooker will warm it up nicely.

I get about 5 minutes of steady stream on initial pumping but the beauty of the foot pump is that it's so easy to keep fully pressurized.

So far, rinsing dishes has been it's most common daily use.
