Excellent for the bedridden.
Perfect for use on people that are bedridden or have extreme difficulty getting into a shower. It is simple and comes with everything you need except shampoo :P overall, a quality product that is a pretty good value. It has no issues with leaking and is large enough to fit most heads.

Comfortable design
This was the best investment to help my mother get her hair washed while being bound to bed/chair. I was able to lay her back in bed comfortably while her head laid snuggly into the cushion of bowl. The drainage pipe extends to be released into a bucket(not included). I thought of buying the inflatable bowls but this was the same effect with no hassle of loosing air and wasting water everywhere. The extra perks are the towel holder (I didn't used) and rinse bowl that help get shampoo out of hair when not using Circa Air bedside shower water bag with sprayer (not included).

Just what was needed.
This purchase was made for a patient who needed her hair washed without being able to get into the shower. As other reviewers have stated, the clear basin idea itself is pretty brilliant, far better than the inflatables, IMO, however we also found the drainage hose to be very flimsy, and having used it four or five times we are looking for a much more durable hose, without any success btw, because the sizes are metric. The "trick" to using the basin is to place a pillow folded in two under the patient's upper back to even out the way the neck interacts with the basin. The drain hose is then rounted to a basin (in our case a plastic trash can). First you wash the hair using the enclosed dipper to wet, wash, and rinse; next open the drain plug and drain the first rinse water. Repeat the rinsing using the dipper and drain a second time, until the hair has no soap residue. Next, raise the head of the bed upright, while removing the basin, and towel wrap and dry as usual - we follow up this with an electric hair dryer, being certain that there is no splashed water anywhere! You can help this by using a thick towel at the head of the bed, and removing the flimsy hose into the catch basin. When you raise the head of the bed it will be necessary to remove the basin as the head of the bed begins to raise; I do this alone but a third hand might be helpful if a second person is there. All told, an excellent device (I am a retired nurse) that is a newer design, comfortable for the patient, and useful, all except for that paper-thin flimsy hose, which I am quite sure will break in the very near future. Without a better drain hose the process will likely then require two people to get the job done, just an FYI.

OK if you must wash hair in bed ...
This is a nice idea. I tested it out once so far. It was a little difficult to get the person's head on the center rest because the shoulders bump against the basin ... it could use a little more contour for the shoulders. The drain hose works well but seems a little fragile for the long haul.Ads tend to make things look so easy. Some things to keep in mind: Maybe it's good to add a waterproof pad under the person's head to protect bed from leaks and splashes. Help may be needed to position the person on the bin. Remember you'll need to have ample water and a catch bucket or drain handy.If hair can be washed in a shower, so much easier. But if that's not possible, this did work.

Perfecto!šš¾
This works perfectly for shampooing my daughter's hair who is disabled. It's sturdy enough that water doesn't leak out when she lays her head back. And the pot is so convenient! Love this!!!

Amazing Product and Company
My mother became bedridden in December of 2023. My father and I are her caregivers. I give her a bath and wash her hair. Initially I tried the dry shampoo, but it was awful. I found this product on Amazon and it was a blessing to me. I can wash my mom's hair as if she was in a salon, even though she is laying flat on her back. This is one of the few things that she can enjoy now. Last month I noticed a small leak in the hose. I contacted the company via email and the CEO got right back to me. He had a replacement sent quickly. He has no idea how appreciative I am of the product itself and the wonderful customer service. If you or someone you know is a caregiver, please let them know about this product. It could be a blessing to them too!

Not for everyone...
Not sure if this is made more for females, but I tried using this for my bedbound dad, his 4 nurse aids tries using it as well and we all had difficulties. Dad's neck and back would hurt from it. We tried putting towels behind him to soften the impact, tried repositioning him and the bed, nothing worked. I purchased a soft one similar to the 1st one we had. I would not recommend this item
