The Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench is a hose-charged water blaster released in 2025. It is the first CPS-based water blaster released under the Nerf Super Soaker brand since 2011! While notably shorter and thinner than the Super Soaker Splashzooka 65oz. (2001), the general functional design of Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench brought back immediate memories of the older model, being fillable only by its hose-based filling station. Alas, any hoped for similarities between the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench and the Super Soaker Splashzooka 65oz. (2001) end there.

The Packaging .:

The Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench comes in open-faced packaging that shows most of the water blaster as well as the hose-mounted filling station. The only part included that is not immediately obvious from the packaging is a small additional adapter for the filling station that is compatible with some types of quick-release hose adapters (not tested).

On the back panel, it is made clearer that the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench requires a hose for filling. It also notes that this water blaster "Blasts with Pulse Bursts!" This reminded me of the Super Soaker Hydro Blitz (2007) and its "Multi Blastin' Bursts". However, given the size of the Power Drench, if it indeed blasts bursts, the mechanism used must be different. What was lacking from the box was any note of this water blaster's capacity. The reason for this lack of information became more apparent upon testing...

Design .:
The Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench has a clean, functional design with a nice use of dark and light blues for the body, clear window showcasing the internal CPS-type bladder, and blaze orange for the nozzle, trigger, and light green accents. The top of the water blaster appears to have a tactical rail, but we have not confirmed whether other Nerf guns attachment will actually fit.e The filling device is similar to the original Fast-Fill devices first released for the Super Soaker Super Charger series back in 1999.

Build and Ergonomics .:
Like most Nerf blasters, the general build quality of the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench is good. The plastic seems to be of decent quality. Texturing on the grip and around the trigger area allow the blaster to be held securely, even when one's hands are wet. The grip is a decent size and, given that it is fully open, can accomodate even larger hands. With the bladder positioned above the trigger-grip region, the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench feel nicely balanced when filled and as it is being emptied.

Overall Performance .:

Despite having a CPS-type bladder that appears to be a decent size along with its hose-based refilling station, the performance of the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench unfortunately matches its name - this is a "Nerfed" Super Soaker. Instead of being able to produce a decent continuous stream, the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench shoots out these "Pulse Bursts". Each burst is very short in duration (estimated less than 1/10th of a second based on analysis of multiple bursts recorded on video). Given the standard-sized nozzle and short burst duration, the amount of water blasted forward per shot is approximately 7mL (~0.23 oz.). The output is rated at over 3x, but the short shot duration really limits this water blaster's overall soaking potential.

To add insult to injury, each blast actually uses (wastes) more water from the bladder since a significant amount of water ends up ejected to the right from some holes positioned on the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench's side (see pictures above). Approx. 2-3mL (~0.1oz) of water is lost out the side. We were able to get around 25 blasts from a complete fill (the volume recorded is for the amount of water collected from the nozzle). The estimated actual capacity of the firing chamber becomes roughly 250mL (~8.3oz.),but since the amount of side splat is challenging to measure, we have opted to only note the usable blasting volume.

Overall .:

In the end, the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench is a well-built water blaster with disappointing performance, especially given the potential power available from its CPS-type firing chamber. It is unclear how easy it would be to convert the internal firing mechanism from the stock pulse set-up to a more traditional continuous stream operation. While easy to fill and use (assuming one has an active hose available), the side splat and extremely short shot duration of the Nerf Super Soaker Power Drench means that it can be easily outclassed even by smaller pump action and pressurized water blasters.

Pros

Sturdy build; good ergonomics; easy to fill and use presuming one has an active hose available

Cons

Requires an active hose to fill; no way to fill without the hose adapter; CPS-type chamber's power is under utilized due to the pulse mechanism that is used to create its pulse bursts; extremely short shot time; significant amount of water wasted (lost after each shot, splatting out from the right side of the blaster)
