Review 1 for Tankless Electric Water Heater
I really like the whole house hot water heater. I am on well water and didn't know if it would heat 66 degree inlet water temp but it will. I turned the easy access temp. control down one third of the way and still have plenty of hot water for showers, dish washer, baths and washing machine. I installed a ball valve on inlet and outlet side of water heater which allows me to control flow of water which stopes any to hot and to cold water flow being on a electric pump 25 to 50 pound pressure and it workes great. Unit was easy to install. Takes up almost no space in utility room. I haven't used it enough yet to tell if it saves me on electricity yet. But I am sure it will. We don't run out of hot water.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Review 2 for Tankless Electric Water Heater
Excellent unit i like that i don't have to wait anymore for my hot water to come. Every one in the household could take a shower and there will always be hot water no matter how long of a shower u take. Also the size of the unit is very small and lite so it won't take up space. Is a good energy saver. Dislike: if you don't know about electrical i don't recommend installing it your self.u must have enough amprage coming into the main electric panel a least 200amp which the book does not mention. And also your elec. Panel must have enough space for the breakers 3 40 amp breakers.always use higher gage wire. Plumbing is very simple. P.s make sure your elec. Panel could hold it or you will poping you main breaker.
Yes, I recommend this product.

read other people's review was kinda nervous before ordering it, so many crazy reviews saying its not enough hot water, and this and that problem. of course all this install is best left to professionals. had our electrical updated to 220 and ran 120amp to the tankless, runs perfectly fine hot water in this nice cold winter that we having already. water coming in 45F and i have perfectly hot 130F. i'd say to those who doesn't have hot water please turn on the temperature control to the max! cause the professional installer did the opposite and turn it to the otherside to the lowest setting temp. due to this tankless not having a temp gage. we can't tell what temp it is. that's probably 1 of the only thing i would like to have vs. the dial we have. also i ran both the sink and shower at the same time during this nice cold winter , still have enough hot water for showering with out the cold water. :D enjoy many days of hot shower to come

What a fantastic appliance - exceeds my expectations. Easily supplies endless hot water to our whole house (2 baths + kitchen). One caveat: make sure you have the capacity in your electrical panel for 3 40amp 2 pole breakers, and that you have 200amp service to your panel.

HOT water continuously
,PostedAugust 25, 2011
Pro: We have a family of 4. The unit provides instant hot water continuously.
Con: SW USA has hard water. Recommend a whole house water softener if you intend to purchase a tank-less water heater.

It heats up water very fast.

Installation is easy for the plumber and the electrician.
However the cost to have more circuit breakers cost almost as much as the unit.
I would recommend this unit if you need the space.

Nice engineering - quiet and consistent
,PostedMay 14, 2011
I replaced our old tankless heater with this one, and it works so much better! The temperature does fluctuate a little bit, but it's within such a narrow range, you almost don't notice it when you're taking a shower. Nothing like the old one!!!
P.S.: Works great even with the cold Maine well water.
Yes, I recommend this product.

DO NOT BUY THIS!

This is a poorly designed product.
The manufacturer recommends this for cold climates, but the unit is unable to produce acceptably hot water at the full output temperature setting for well water measuring 60 F, well within the specified input.
The unit turns on at a flow of 1.25 gpm, not 0.8 gpm as the spec sheet says. That is where it turns off. The result is that my bathroom sink (and most small sinks) will never see any hot water from the unit. If your sink does have hot water it will only be at full on. That is simply not energy efficient.
Technical support is abysmal. The personnel are trained to turn any problem back onto the customer and try to ignore the design flaws. Their tech hung up on me, then didn't answer the phone when I called right back.
By the time I had figured out all these problems, it was too late to return the unit. Don't let this happen to you.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Don't do it!!
,PostedSeptember 19, 2010
I purchased this product about 3 years ago and was somewhat happy with it for the first year or so, in spite of uneven water temperatures. Be aware the discharge water temperature will vary as the incoming water temperature or pressure changes. Then things began to fail one at a time after the warranty ran out. First a thermal cutout went bad. It took me two weeks to get one from the factory. (It's a specialty item only sold through Bosch....everything is) Finally the control board failed.
I'm tired of working on it and am going back to a standard, old fashioned and reliable hot water tank. To be honest, I really didn't notice much savings in electricity. This unit is just too unreliable to justify the high purchase price and the high installation costs. Invest in more insulation.

Not in Stock??
,PostedJuly 12, 2010
The first problem that I encountered when "trying" to purchase this item was, that it was not available in a store. Normally when someone needs to buy a water heater it is an emergency and not being able to get one quickly was a hassle. I also recomend that you put an aproximate cost of additional materials needed, for me it was $160, fortunately I was able to install everything myself or the cost of installation could have been very large. So far the product usage has been questionable, adjustments have been made when using the shower, and sinks in my house. Overall I am not as pleased as I would like to have been with this product.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The only problem I have had is with my Water Company, and their issues with water pressure and repairing broken mains in our area. If you have water pressure issues, just set the temperature at a lower setting, and you should keep hot water.

We installed the unit in January to replace a Seisco unit that had given us relentless grief for three years. The AE unit has been terrific and has provided limitless hot water. We can now use our bathtub again. The Seisco unit could not produce enough hot water to fill the tub.
My husband installed the unit with very little trouble. Make sure you have the electrical requirements before you begin installation.

Overall Good Product
,PostedApril 5, 2010
Recently I purchased this tankless hot water heater for my home which is about 2400 sq ft. It works pretty good, although it does take several minutes for the hot water to reach most of the rooms. I can say to be prepared for additional cost to install the unit. As many of the other reviews were quite helpful in knowning what to except during the install, it did take a plumber and an electrician to insure proper installation. I do like this product. I have yet to run out of hot water, and have actually used both showers in my house at the same time and had no problems. Overall this is a good product and I would recommend.
Yes, I recommend this product.
