A Handy Solution for Outdoor Hygiene: The Tasty Trotter Hand Wash Unit Review
This weekend, I decided to put the Tasty Trotter Hand Wash Unit to the test during a small outdoor gathering. With the ongoing emphasis on hygiene, especially in outdoor settings, I thought this portable sink would be a perfect addition. It’s designed for events, schools, and even welfare vehicles, making it quite versatile. Here’s how it performed.
Key Takeaways
-
Portable and Easy to Use: Great for outdoor events.
-
Temperature Control: Keeps water warm for a while.
-
Capacity: Holds 19 litres, enough for multiple washes.
-
Soap Dispensers Included: Convenient for hand hygiene.

First Impressions
When I first unpacked the Hand Wash Unit Outdoor Sink, I was impressed by its sturdy build. The unit is made from tough HDPE, which feels durable enough for regular use. Setting it up was straightforward; just fill it with water, and you’re good to go. The 19-litre capacity is generous, allowing for around 80-100 washes, which is ideal for gatherings.
Performance
During the event, the hand wash unit performed decently. The temperature gauge was a nice touch, letting us know the water was warm enough for effective handwashing. However, I did notice that the water cooled down quicker than expected, especially when the ambient temperature was low. It started at a comfortable warmth but dropped significantly after about an hour.
User Experience
Everyone found it easy to use. The stainless steel tap has a lever mechanism that can be operated with your elbow, which is great for maintaining hygiene. The included soap dispensers were a hit, making it easy for guests to wash their hands thoroughly. However, I did hear a few comments about the water flow being a bit weak, which could be improved.
