Works, but poorly insulated. Only about 1/2" thick styrofoam that doesn't completely cover the tank. Measured about 40W average power draw (with no water usage), that's about $50 per year depending on your electricity rates.Stuffed the whole thing full of loose fiberglass, now it's pulling 13W. Much better.

I have my doubts about quality control for these things. I needed to replace a twenty year old unit. The storage tank still worked, but the faucet went bad and it seems to be impossible to buy replacement faucets without also buying a new tank.Anyway, I bought a replacement (different brand) but the new faucet began leaking after about a week. The flow rate was also pretty low, so I returned it and bought a Ready Hot unit.The Ready hot unit's faucet worked well enough but they sent a brushed chrome faucet rather than the polished chrome faucet I ordered. The flow rate was pretty slow on this one as well. Barely a trickle.So, I once more asked for a refund and bought another Ready Hot unit but this time, not only did they send the correct faucet, but the flow rate from the tank was much improved, as good as the one that I originally replace. Third time the charm, I suppose.FWIW, the Ready Hot installation system is the best I have ever worked with. It is worth buying the Ready Hot for the process by which the faucet attaches to the sink. All of the fasteners are accessed from on top of the counter. Totally awesome, that.

I was fortunate to have a skilled assistant at our local Home Depot who made sure I had all of the correct plumbing supplies to instal this unit. They included a T fitting, more 1/4' water tubing, a replaceable water filter unit, and a needle valve. I also needed to add an electrical outlet so I used one of those 6 outlet panels that plugged into the existing two outlet box. The installation went smoothly and was actually kind of fun. But I have accumulated a lot of "handyman" type experience under sinks over the years. The heater is capable of bringing water up to boiling temperature so I have it dialed back slightly so it is quiet. This is covered in the manual. Basically it could not be any hotter. Of course you can hear it heating, like a refrigerator it cycles on and off, but I don't notice it much anymore. I think the faucet provided is very nice and matches our Blanco faucet and fittings well. We use it a lot more than I thought I would. I find myself looking forward to a cup of tea these days.

Our kitchen was flooded after a pipe burst during an ice storm, last winter. With Covid, it took quite a while to get contractors out to do the work. I actually ended up ordering many of the fixtures, due to the delay.This unit replaced a substantially more expensive In-Sink-Erator unit that we’d had about 10 years but had to repair several times. Installation was super easy (a plumber did it, but he specifically said it was easy to install, anyone could do it), and it has been working great.Our old unit had a lever that was pressure activated. It wasn’t easy to bump, but if you did, or something fell against it, you could get near-boiling hot water unexpectedly. The new unit has a lock on the lever. You must push down to unlock and turn on the water flow. It also has a wider range for controlling how much water comes out. The old unit was pretty much on or off, and it was a bit slow. This one is much closer to keeping up with our regular faucet, when opened up.Now for the interesting question: why get one? Our plumber said he’d installed a few but never had one, so what did it do? Great question. My wife and I first used them in Germany, when we were in the Army. They had them in the barracks, with one unit in each bathroom, supplying hot water to the shower and sink. 40 soldiers need to shower? No problem. It will produce as much hot water as you need (we will eventually replace our home hot water heater with one). In the kitchen, you have near-boiling hot water on demand, which is perfect for tea, mixing small amounts with spices, making instant oatmeal or cereal, making instant ramen or noodles, starting a pot of water at near-boiling, so you can cook other things faster, making a hot water bath for baby bottle (works fine for formula, but I’d mix hot and add cold to get the temp right), and my favorite: using it as a bain marie. What’s that? It’s often used as a double boiler for cooking, but many high end restaurants use it as a way for cooks and chefs to quickly rinse and sterilize spoons that they use for tasting what they’re cooking.The other really obvious choice is to add hot water at a bar, mini kitchen, workshop, outdoor pool house or guest house, etc., that only has a cold water line.We use ours constantly. This one is a step up from the already nice one that we had.

I had a hidden leak with my Insta Hot that went on for I don't know how long. My plumber recommended I replace the Insta Hot with another Insta Hot but I was annoyed with the leaking unit that caused hidden water damage so I researched alternatives. There's not a lot of options but I found a Ready Hot unit that seems to be superior. I received and had my plumber install the unit yesterday. It's not a simple install according to the plumber but it worked out and I'm glad the plumber installed it and not me. The unit looks sturdy and all metal (and...I read that there are NO leak issues) and the spout is taller than the insta-hot so that is a big plus for me. The insta hot would spray hot water in way that would burn your hand...really bad design due to the leak issue, etc. The Ready Hot has a nice safety feature that makes you depress the turn on handle before it will pour water and it lags a second so you can position your cup. I can't be more happy on day #2 with my purchase. I will report back if there are any issues but I feel confident I made the right choice. Don't always go with the plumbers recommendation...they aren't always right. He was impressed by the unit and had never seen one before. One note, it's a little bigger than the InstaHot so it had to be put in a different place under the sink. No big deal for me but something to note.
