BOKU Mini vs Happy Bottom Portable Bidet

Two kinds of device at a similar size: the BOKU Mini is a pressurised manual, the Happy Bottom Portable Bidet a squeeze bottle. Close enough to carry that the mechanism is the real choice. The table compares only what each manufacturer actually publishes. Blank cells are unpublished figures, not zeroes.

One of these two publishes very little. Most rows below will be blank on one side, which tells you about the manufacturer rather than about the product.
