Evaluation

Japan's first portable gas hot water boiler that could be used outdoors. This alone makes it sound very new and appealing but the greatest feature of the product is the beautiful and meticulously planned design. The operation is drastically simplified by minimizing the switches. Transporting is easy thanks to the well positioned handle and careful weight distribution. The subdued color variations make the product blend into the living space. The streamlined design down to the shower head is highly commendable.
