Worth buying!!!
For those who don't know, Stiebel Eltron make the best electric tankless heaters on the market. They have the digital thermostat, and it will keep your water to the exact temperature you set regardless of demand. I set mine to 106'F and it is exactly 106'F, regardless of if I have just 1 tap open or 5 plus a shower, dishwasher, etc...

As for installation it was fairly basic. Just an in and out for the plumbing and the electrical was fairly straightforward. You need 3 x 60A 208-204V lines plus a ground. That means 6 spaces in your breaker panel. This is the biggest electric tankless that can go on a 200A service. Anything larger and you need a 400A service. I am a licensed electrician so instalation was simple for me. Otherwise I would definitely hire an electrician to do the hookup. It can be intimidating to do the electical yourself with all the options. Do you use flex, tech cable, just plain old lumex, etc... I piped mine in using EMT and #6 wire, although...

Its FABULOUS!... with a couple of caveats.
I am very happy with this purchase. Mounting the Tempra 29 Plus and the required new electrical box in the closet was as easy as 8 screws. Wiring it all up was a little more work. The plumbing is simple if you put it where your tank was. And losing our old 50 gallon tank gave us some new closet room for the house! The product itself is absolutely fabulous and is only about 4-5 inches deep and maybe 15"x15"ish. It looks very well made. (Those Germans always make good stuff!) Once installed, your water will easily get hotter than you can stand and I felt no fluctuation in the shower when the washing machine and a sink were also running hot. The ONLY negatives I see are 1)the dedicated line requirements and 2)a couple of our fluorescent fixtures flicker/strobe slightly when hot water is running. I feel like that might simply be due to cheap bulbs or something because the "flicker" is isolated to just two fixtures in the whole house. Bottom line: Buy it. Just be prepared for a little...

Fabulous - simple to install and instant HOT, HOT water
After doing the research on tankless electric water heater, I went for this unit over similarly priced models from Rheem and others, simply because it is German. Yes, I fell for the 'quality, technical superiority, etc' German mantra and boy, am I glad I did.

The unit arrives in a secure, heavy duty shipping box secured by molded styrofoam inserts to protect the product from shifting en route and from then on out, it is a dream to install and use.

Plumbing is simple with either CPVC or copper (totally recommend the sharkbite / gatorbite fittings if you're using copper) and a close examination of the workmanship on the welds for the heating vessels inside the unit show that the heater is of high quality. There are five mounting points to mount the unit to the wall and it is so small (about the size of an early 1990's VCR), that just mounting directly on drywall with drywall anchors is more than secure enough.

The only complication comes with the...
