Let me tell you, this little tank has been a game-changer in my kitchen. No more staring at the sink for a full minute waiting for hot water while my water bill climbs. Four seconds. That's all it takes now.
The digital display is my favorite part - no guessing games with temperature. I keep mine at a toasty 120°F for dishes, but when my wife wants to steep tea, we crank it up to 140°F instantly. The mechanical knob gives satisfying clicks as you turn it.
Installation was surprisingly simple, though I'll admit I had a minor panic when I saw the first drip. Turns out I just needed to tighten the connection properly (pro tip: use Teflon tape). Once secured, it's been bone dry.
Recovery time shocked me - I can do back-to-back loads of dishes without running cold. The stainless steel tank stays surprisingly efficient. My energy monitor shows it cycling on about every 20 minutes to maintain temperature.
It fits perfectly under my tiny apartment sink, tucked behind the pipes. The white enamel coating blends right in with my plumbing. Only downside? The power draw is slightly higher than advertised (mine pulls about 1700W), but for the convenience, I don't mind.
Best $150 I've spent on my kitchen. Even my plumber was impressed when he saw it during my annual inspection.
