Had high expectations that this nice looking German engineered device would solve demand for instant hot water at a single sink. Not exactly "instant". It takes a while for the water to even get warm. The problem is the water needs to flow slowly in order to benefit from the electrical heater. Naturally that means a very low flow output. A small tank device would be better...but alas, is much more expensive to run in order to keep the water hot 24 hours a day. Also don't forget...This requires a new 30amp electrical circuit and water by-pass shut-off valves to be installed. Not for the handyman-challenged.
