3.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea, absurd price, July 5, 2008

This review is from: RapidBath Deluxe Dog Bathing System (Misc.)

I cannot believe I let the kids talk me into buying this. All it is really is a plastic aerator ("hydro surge" my aunt fanny) with on/off buttons. There is no reason for this item to cost what it does! Then, they hit you up for the shampoo cartridges.

On the upside, having the shampoo mix with the water, etc. is a nice idea. It works better than the wet, lather, rinse method. However, there are other products available which performs the same function as this one, for half the price.

Buy it if they drop the price to below forty, but be aware that you'll still have to pay 3USD per shampoo cartridge. They claim you can wash several dogs with one cartridge - that's true only if you have very small dogs. One cartridge is good for 1.5 labradors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Willow's happy, I'm happy., June 18, 2008

This review is from: RapidBath Deluxe Dog Bathing System (Misc.)

My Irish Setter loves being outside. She loves running thru the mud, brush, woods - a real field dog. Virginia's clay soil dries in her feathers like cement - not fun for either of us at bath time. I am NOT a gadget person - but this RapidBath has made a big difference in our quality of life. It makes bathing easy, fast, and efficient. Willow leans into the water spray instead of squirming to get loose - she doesn't quite 'smile' like the Golden in the video, but she is clearly enjoying the water massage. The amount of dirt and dust coming into the house has been reduced significantly. We love having soft, silky Willow inside with us. Last year, she dropped a lot of fur and started chewing herself. The vet said it was from allergies. This year, she has a great, thick coat and I think it's because we've been using the RapidBath.

It used to take me 30 minutes to wash each of my German Shepards. After a few uses, I can now get both of them completely clean in under 5! Finally a product that works as good as it claims.
