Works great and easy installation
Works great, connected mine to my 240v line, takes 10AUG wiring and a 30-40 amp double pole breaker. I have mine under my kitchen sink and also ran a line to an outdoor shower by the pool. No longer any cold water showers before going in my pool and getting out. My shower runs about 1.5 GPM and it was a toasty 118 degrees coming out of the shower. Had to remove the restrictor and now comes out about 105 degrees on full blast. At the sink and to the dishwasher, has no problems heating up to 130 degrees. Was going to install a mini hot water heater but with all the problems of leaks or not working according to other reviewers, went with this one, as this is highly reviewed in other models. As a side note, I live in SW florida with water temperature 72+ degrees year round. If buying in Canada or the north, you will need the .05 GPM restrictor on this most likely. Mine wouldn't work on my kitchen sink but it comes out hot enough anyway.

Also as another note, when you...

tankless a great idea, in practice, not really
Have 4 tankless heaters, one gas for the whole house, and three Electric for each bathroom to get hot water to the sinks faster. High cost, high current draw, fluctuations in temperature, and high maintenance all plague these units. Seals, circuit boards,thermistors,heating elements, flow sensors all go bad in a harsh water environment. But, if you want fast hot water, and don't want the expense of recirculation, it is your only choice. I have a low flow guest bathroom sink that had a seisco 9kw under the sink heater. After 2 circuit boards and a thermistor that went bad, I thought I should try this. I like the simplicity of this unit, either on or off, and the low cost. The size is small and the activation flow rate is .25 gpm which is the lowest of all comparable units. This is an important number because with a 1 GPM flow and a high flow activation, it's hard to get warm water. The documentation is all over the map, some places say 5.5 kW, some 6, and some 7. Some say 40...

Does just what we wanted.
We bought the Ecosmart POU 6 55 KW tankless water heater to replace one (which is no longer manufactured) which died on us after many years of faithful service. We got the Ecosmart to supply hot water for the kitchen sink and dishwasher. It does a terrific job--hot water is generated quickly and it is nice and hot.

Since the water connections and electric wiring were already in place for the previous unit, installation was a breeze. I just had to get two 24" braided stainless steel water supply hoses (and two nipples), since the connections on the Ecosmart unit are more widely spaced than those on the previous unit. With these hoses in hand I just made the water connections, then made the electric connections in the junction box which was already in place, and we were in business. I flushed out the unit, turned on the electricity and the Ecosmart unit worked exactly as advertised. We've only had it a month or so, but so far it is working perfectly--our expectations have...
