AGENT VERDICT --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧠 Our Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the Snail XL if you want chamber volume and a piece that will not tip. Six inches wide on a six-inch body is an unusual thing to find published — every other XL in Hemper's range is built tall and comparatively narrow, and this one puts all of its volume sideways. That gives you a large water chamber, a low centre of gravity, and a large showerhead percolator with room to work. The costs are honest ones: it needs real shelf space, it weighs 38 ounces shipped, and the shell and eye decals sit on the outside so cleaning has to stay interior-only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 3.

That 1:1 ratio is the unusual part — Hemper publish no other piece where the diameter equals the height, and it is the widest diameter in their range. It ships at 38 ounces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it called XL if it is only 6 inches tall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause the volume is in the width rather than the height. Every other Hemper XL is a tall column on a narrow base — 11 inches for the High Jinx, 10.5 for the 70's Lamp. This one is 6 inches across, which is wider than any of them, so the chamber is large even though the silhouette is short. It is also the shortest XL they make, and we would rather say that plainly than let the name imply height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat percolator does it have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA large showerhead. That is Hemper's wider showerhead specification, and a 6-inch chamber gives it room to spread properly.

Hemper name orange eye decals and a large shell pattern decal, and decals sit on the surface. Run coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol through the chamber, cap the openings, agitate, then rinse with warm water.
