I have had this installed in my home for about a year. My morning shower is now hot in 10 sec rather than a minute and a half. I think the price is a bit high; if this were $125, I would give it 5 stars. Installation: no problem for an experienced do-it-yourselfer.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great to have hot water when you need it with out wasting water waiting for it to get hot to do dishes or shower. Saves on your water usage. You don't run out of hot water taking a shower. Takes less than an hour to install and can be installed with out professional help. LOVE IT!
Yes, I recommend this product.

If you're tired of waiting for the warm water this is for you. I have installed this item twice in both homes I've live in over the past seven years. It saved water without raising my power bill. The pump comes with one sensor, but normally it will take a second sensor to keep the entire house system working properly. That means a second sensor kit purchase which cost around fifty dollars. I highly recommend this product if you are tired of waiting a couple minutes for the warm water to arrive at the faucet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I installed one of these on my house a few years ago and installed this one at my parents' house in Dec 2011. They are very happy with this product and wonder now just how much water they have been wasting over the years without it!
No additional trips to Home Depot were needed to install this product...everything you will normally need is included. The pump itself is actually a very high quality german made one I'm familiar with from many years in the aquarium hobby.
The price has gone up quite a bit since I first installed mine which is the only reason I gave it less than highest rating for value. I still think it's worth it even at the higher price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Installed it today. For an amateur, allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours for installation. About 30 minutes of that will be prep time in reading instructions, understanding how the system works, and locating optimum installation locations, etc. The only tools I needed were a crescent wrench and a pair of vise-grip pliers. - I have a plumbing manifold system, with five hot water branches. Ideally, I should put one of the sensors at each branch end, but I'm settling for one in the master bath under a lavatory for now. I may add more later.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Once I understood that the pump and valve went at different points in the hot water system (pump goes at the water heater and the plastic valve at the farthest point in the hot/cold water system) the install was much easier.
Make sure you read the manual first. The timer setting is easy - if you've read the directions. Typical for most men, I didn't bother and just fiddled with the timer. It would have saved me a few minutes to read the instructions.
Watch that you have a 120 volt outlet near the pump. If you do, insure you put the pump close enough to reach with the cord.
The people at HD were helpful. I needed some help with the right plumbing fittings. I got the "Shark" brand connectors. They needed no soldering. They do cost a bit more, but they were easy to install. Make sure you get some Teflon tape for the threaded fittings on the pump.
So far, we're happy and would recommend this pump. The pump comes on just before we get up and goes off at bedtime. No more wasted water or washing hands with 50 degree water! Our home is Flagstaff and the cold water (in the winter) is 45 to 50 degrees.
Yes, I recommend this product.
