Coleman Hot Water on Demand Vs Companion Aquacube Logic Vs Companion Aquacube Digital

There are currently three primary choices of portable hot water systems available on the market today.  They are the:
All of these hot water systems work in the same way to produce the hot water.  They all use a small pump to pull the water through copper piping where a gas burner is heating up the water.  They are all very good, and for this reason are available from Tentworld camping stores.

This gas burner is adjustable, to allow for you to adjust the temperature to what you require.

However, there are some slight differences in them that will appeal to different people.  The advantages of each unit are:

Coleman Hot Water on Demand

The Coleman Hot Water on Demand, is able to put more heat water to a higher temperature.  This is particularly handy for those who like to wash dishes in very hot water.  The Coleman HWOD is able to get the water up to around 70 degrees.  Generally people prefer to shower in water temperatures ranging from 30 degrees to 42.

The Coleman Hot Water system runs from a rechargeable battery, and can be recharged from 12v or 240v.

The Aquacube Digital, is similar to the Aquacube Logic except that it does not have a rechargeable battery and can only operate from 12v.  This is seen as being advantageous by some people, who prefer not to have to look after rechargeable batteries. 

Similar to the Aquacube Logic, the Aquacube Digital features a digital temperature display for the hot water.  There is however, no temperature read out for the incoming cold water. 

The Aquacube Digital is also lighter than the Coleman or Logic at 6kgs.
