I ordered this after reading the review here on Amazon which stated that theirs came with the hose/pump as shown on the coleman heater. Mine did not, so I am now with out a hose and pump to get the water into the heater. I planned on using this for camping so a water hose won't be available to me. So I either need to return it or find a place where I can purchase the pump that runs off the internal battery along with the water hose that has the special black clip on end. Can't find it on Coleman's site or Ebay at the moment.

This is a very good product. I also ordered the pump from Coleman so I can use this while camping. I use it to make hot drinks and wash dishes. It is great for washing dishes. There are two issues when making hot drinks,

1) The 5 second warm up dumps about 10 oz of cool water so I use a basin to catch this cool water.

2) The 160 degree high limit is not hot enough for REAL coffee drinkers but nearly perfect for us without asbestos tongues.

The previous reviewer was correct. This item does not have the pump and hose for using it without a garden hose. I was easily able to order these parts and the clip to hold the pump from the Coleman website. Just look at the hot water on demand there and open the replacement parts link.

Other then that it is still cheaper then Coleman and works very well. This will work great in our off the grid camping adventures.

Having used a coleman model before I was happy to find this unit... But,I am in agreement with the other review... When I purchased this item there were two reviews and one of them stated that this item comes with a pump... It does not... The Amazon info is a bit unclear on this it does not state there is a pump but one of the customer posted photos shows a pump... That coupled with the now missing review that states there was a pump is confusing... That being said this is still a great bargain as you get the same heating unit as the coleman with the spray hose (optional w/coleman), and the garden hose adapter (also optional w/coleman)... Without the pump, you just need to be able to get the water to the unit which could be as simple as placing a water container couple of feet higher(gravity fed) than the unit and plumbing a hose to run through the garden hose adapter... or running a seperate 12v marine pump(cheap but, requires another power source) to the hose adapter... Amazon should remove the confusing photo...

Great Product for a good price. All sent as ordered.
