Would this product work well for travel? Has anyone taken it on a trip? If not, is there a better one on the market?

I haven't taken it on a trip but I think it would work out very well! All you need is a jug of water and since it only takes 2 cups of water it is very easy to empty for traveling. I love my Hotshot and use it daily for coffee, tea ect. I would recommend it highly!

I had only ever used it at home, so can't really say, but I would be careful not to trip the on button without having water in it- once you plug it in it could start and burn out. I purchased mine in February 2013 and in October it died- all while sitting on my counter not being juggled around.

Depends. It measures 9-1/2" high by 7-1/2" deep by 5-1/2" wide so it would take up a fair amount of suitcase space for flying so I wouldn't take it on a plane. Although you might consider it worth it if your trip is going to be long-term. However, if you're talking about a road trip, particularly a long one, it could prove useful not only at your destination(s) but along the way since you could plug it into your vehicle using a lighter adapter. As far as I'm concerned there is no better small foot-print product than the Sunbeam Hot Shot for rapid boiling water. I've been using it for 6 years now. Depends.

I've taken mine on a few ski trips. I throw it in the bag with my clothes and I'm good to go

I've never taken it on a trip although I've been tempted. I did take mine to a potluck once and it wouldn't work after transit. I'm not sure why. I think it may work with travel if it was very thoroughly dried before being packed. I think I may have gotten water where it shouldn't be because it did work again after a couple days...I assume it dried out.

I used this in Ireland with an adapter. It is great for travel but it is very small. I now keep it in the office for touch ups.

I would say yes, it is compact enough to be packed for travel. I just recently got my Nutri Bullet and so have never traveled with it but, I believe it could be.

I have never taken it on a trip. I would not even try, as it would be hard to protect from breakage. Sorry.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

Les, thanks much. Very helpful, although I'm still torn. Yes, it would be great to hear from people with hands on experience or to see a review by a pro. I'm going on a trip in November, so will buy something before then.

Thanks for asking about the Guzzling Giant towel. Yes, it is suitable for travel. It is much more compact when folded or rolled up than a regular towel, and it absorbs water instantly and easily.When laid out or hung to dry, it will dry faster than regular towels, too. I think it will serve your purpose quite well.Have a great trip!

As others have mentioned no, it isn't a good cup for travel, we only use it at home in a high chair because it can easily make a mess. I don't know that I would take the advice of another person that answered that hasn't used the cup though. We use it frequently, and only started with one top and it worked great.

Probably not so much. It is fairly compact on a kitchen counter, but its heavy duty motor would make it a heavy item to tote around travelling. More of an in-house appliance. Not sure which product to suggest that would be more suitable for travelling.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.

Yes it is great for traveling...we took ours to Maui. Very compact...fold back in it's own case.

The ease of setting up and taking down this oven should be perfect for traveling. If the product is to be set up in a windy area, though, you may need to consider something to weigh it down because it is lightweight. As far as the material, it's strong enough to stay open (doesn't collapse); it reminds me of the changing pads used in diaper bags. Hope that helps.

Yes it is perfect for travel. There are little grooves that keep the tiles from moving around.

So far I love it for traveling. I have been using this one for a year now and no problems. I know that the life of this large Waterpik lasts a long time for me and I use it everyday. This travel one gets used every day while I travel and I have been gone from home for almost 6 months now. Hope this helps some.

Yes its true, not sure if I would take it traveling unless you are going to pack it in a vehicle for road travel sure!

It would be good for traveling, if it worked. Mine worked great for about 5 months, then bit the dust. Maybe if you only used it for traveling and not everyday it would last longer.That said, when it did work the battery held up for two pumping sessions before needing a recharge. But, based on personal experience, I would not buy this model again.
