What this product is good at

The spec sheet below says how it is built. This says what that adds up to, on the axes buyers actually weigh. Each bar shows a score and how much of it rests on published figures — a hatched bar means too little is published to say, which is not the same as a low score.

Pressure technology ? Stored air pressure

Handling
What you hold ? Nozzle only The tank stays down; only the nozzle is held.
Water flow Continuous
Pressure through the session ? Decays, re-pump to restore The tank holds pressure, so your hand does not — but pressure falls as water leaves and is restored by pumping again.
One-handed use Yes
Hands-free use ? Yes, magnetic mount Magnetic head attaches to the bottle body for hands-free positioning.
Jet control
Reach mechanism ? Flexible hose
Hose length 600 mm Silicone, retractable, stated as up to 60 cm.
Hose stows inside ? Yes Retracts inside the body; a seal closes the water path when stowed.

Jet shape Adjustable, stream to mist
Spray pattern adjustable Yes
Nozzle holes Not published
Spray modes No
Self-cleaning nozzle No
Nozzle retracts when stowed ? Yes
Performance
Pressure ? 3 bar Stated as 'up to 3 bar'. The only pressure figure published by any product here.
Flow rate ? 234 ml/min
Spray time per fill ? 120 s
Water per 10 s of jet ? 39 ml 234 ml/min divided by 6. How much water buys ten seconds of jet.
Spray distance ? Not published
Water
Water capacity ? 410 ml Usable capacity, not bottle volume.
Water level visible ? Yes Translucent bottle, chosen over stainless so the level stays readable.

Power
Power source None needed
Works with no charge ? Yes No cell of any kind.

Weight (empty) 205 g
Packed size 240 stored / 190 deployed × Ø66 Taller stored than deployed: the nozzle seats on top of the body when the hose is retracted.
Packed diameter 66 mm
Collapses No Rigid body; the hose stows but the bottle does not collapse.
Packed volume ? 671 cm³ Body 190 x O66 plus a 50 x O23 nozzle: 650 + 21 cm3. Two-part geometry, not a bounding cylinder.
Holds water while packed ? Not published
Fits a bottle cage or cup holder ? Yes 66 mm — the width of a drinks can.
Carry case included Yes Carry pouch.

Usable without putting it down ? Yes The strap keeps the body on you; nothing touches the floor.
Build and certification

Buying
Warranty 24 months
Made in ? China The maker states 'Designed in France'. Per this site's rule, a design claim is not a manufacturing claim — the same test applied to HappyPo's 'Engineered in Germany' and Bidet Buddy's 'Developed in the USA'.

Environmental score: 96/100

Scored out of a fixed 100 using the formula on the methodology page. 3 of 3 components have a published figure — a component the maker does not publish earns nothing rather than being skipped.

  • No cell to discard 40/40
  • Water per session 31/35
  • Spray time per fill 25/25

Strengths

  • Fully dismountable and repairable without tools — a claim no other maker here makes
  • Publishes a pressure figure, which no other product in this database does
  • Pressure is stored in the tank, so the jet is continuous with no cell and no squeezing
  • Hose separates the aiming hand from the carried weight, and stows inside for transport

Limitations

  • Pressure falls as the tank empties and has to be pumped back up
  • Heavier than every squeeze bottle of comparable capacity
  • No waterproof rating and no independent lab test published
  • Markets itself as designed in France while manufacturing in China, like most of this category
