Hippo Go 10 vs Hippo Go 6: Which Portable Hot Shower Is Right for You?
If you’ve been eyeing up a Hippo Go portable shower but can’t decide between the Go 10 and the Go 6… you’re not alone.
They both deliver proper hot water, both are portable, and both are built to tackle muddy dogs, dirty boots, horses, bikes, campers and chaos. But they’re designed for slightly different people and setups.
So let’s break it down properly!
The Hippo Go 10: The Big Daddy
The Hippo Go 10 is our powerhouse.
With a chunky 10kW of heating power and a strong 6 litres per minute flow rate, this thing is built for people who want a seriously premium off-grid shower experience.
We’re talking:
- Washing multiple muddy dogs back-to-back
- Rinsing down horses properly
- Family camping trips where everyone wants a hot shower
- Cleaning bikes, boots and kit without waiting around
- Outdoor living with “real shower” performance
The big difference with the Go 10 is consistency and flow.
You get a more powerful stream of water and stronger heat stability, even when you’re using it heavily.
And yes… it still heats water up to around 55°C, which means no freezing cold rinse-offs after a muddy walk.
A lot of people describe it as:
“Basically like having a house shower outdoors.”
Which honestly sums it up pretty well.
If you want the best performance possible and you’ll use your shower regularly, the Go 10 is the one that makes people grin the first time they turn it on.
The Hippo Go 6: The Everyday Hero
Now don’t underestimate the Go 6.
This little Hippo still packs a punch and for loads of people, it’s the perfect balance between performance, portability and budget.
You still get:
- Proper hot water up to 55°C
- Portable off-grid washing
- Reliable cleaning power
- The ability to rinse dogs, boots, bikes and kit with ease
The difference is that the Go 6 runs at:
- 6kW of power
- Around 3 litres per minute
So the flow rate is gentler and it’s not designed for huge, heavy-duty usage in the same way as the Go 10.
But for:
- Everyday dog washing
- Weekend adventures
- Occasional horse washing
- Camping trips
- Simpler setups
…it absolutely does the job.
The Go 6 is ideal for people who want the magic of hot water anywhere on a budget without going all-in on maximum power.
So… Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the Go 10 if you:
- Want the most powerful portable shower possible
- Wash horses regularly
- Have multiple dogs
- Want a “proper shower” feel outdoors
- Need stronger flow and more consistent performance
- Use your shower frequently or commercially
Choose the Go 6 if you:
- Want a more budget-friendly option
- Mainly wash dogs, boots or bikes
- Camp occasionally
- Want something lighter and simpler
- Don’t need maximum flow rate
The Good News? There’s No Wrong Choice.
Whichever Hippo you go for, you’re still getting:
- Instant hot water
- Proper outdoor washing power
- Portable freedom
- A seriously versatile setup
And most importantly… no more muddy dogs trying to sprint through the house before you can catch them 😅
Muddy days are officially cancelled.
