    This actually went into a permanent camper, we wired it to a plug that ran out to the main power box and so far it is working great! Easy setup, simple controls, we are so happy with it.

    Great option for my kitchen sink, which is nearly 50 feet from the main water heater. Simple install with the proper fittings as the inlet and outlet are a non-standard size.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate all feedback and a chance to help improve our customer experience. We hate that you're not 100% satisfied and wanted to take a moment to answer your inquiries. If the EM 7.0 keeps on tripping, there is an electrical problem either on the water heater or on the electrical socket, also it is an indication that the water heater might not be installed properly as it should only be installed vertically upright. If you have questions about this water heater and would like to chat with our team so that we can make sure you are fully happy with your purchase, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support.eccotemp.com.

    So far so good. I replaced my 6 gallon propane water heater in my rv with this and have only been using it for 2 weeks. I originally had it turned half way up and was only getting warm water, 3/4 the way up now and it's hot. This is for part time use so hopefully it lasts a long time.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We hate that you're not 100% satisfied and wanted to take a moment to point out some key features of this water heater and its intended purpose. A shower uses approximately 2 gallons per minute and the water heater you purchased only holds 4 gallons of water. That will last you approximately 2 minutes or so. It has a 10-20 min recovery time, so it doesn't heat as quickly as a tankless water heater. This is a mini tank and is intended for smaller uses like sinks, hand washing stations, food trucks, etc. It's a point-of-use mini-tank water heater. You can plumb it inline with your existing water heater as a supplemental heater so that when the hot water runs out at your sink, it's filled back up with hot water from your main source of hot water, but it is not meant for larger uses like showers. That type of request depletes the 4 gallons too quickly. We stand behind our products and above all for customer satisfaction. If you have questions about this water heater and would like to chat with our team so that we can make sure you are fully happy with your purchase, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support.eccotemp.com. We will be waiting and are always happy to help! Eccotemp

    Fairly easy to install with the exception of the fittings were difficult to get started on the heater talk to the company and it seems like this is an issue for many folks and a flaw in their design however once installed it operated well and continues to do the job

    Replaced an old water heater with this unit in our shop washroom. We switch off at night. No need to heat water for 14 plus hours. In the morning, the recovery rate is about 15 minutes. The thermostat is brilliantly designed and positioned on the face of the unit. Would highly recommend. ► Five stars ◄
