SHC 4

Our home is equipped with a tankless water heater, and it never really bothered me having to run the hot water at the kitchen sink for around a minute before hot water was available. Things changed when we had a baby and were constantly washing bottles. The delay in getting hot water when washing a dozen bottles a day got annoying quickly. I started looking at under sink water heaters, but the way our plumbing was run took up a lot of real estate in the cabinet and many of the 4-gallon options just would not fit. The Stiebel Eltron water heater was a perfect fit. The 4 gallon capacity is nearly perfect for kitchen use paired with a tankless main water heater. You get instant hot water for about a minute, then it cools to warm for another minute before the hot water from the main heater is supplied. It was easy to install for a plumbing novice and works well, so far. I feel confident with this unit that was made in Germany, and manufactured by a company that you know will be around when you need parts for maintenance.

Good produc, offer me a lot hot water to wash my hand

An excellent product. Easy to install. Existing reviews cover all important considerations. I will underscore two: 1. The T/P release valve on this unit must be connected properly to adequate drain. It is not enough to route it to a bucket. 2. It is impossible to replace the anode in an enclosed space. Replacements are hard to find; they are expensive; and you will almost certainly have to uninstall the water heater entirely to replace the anode.

I have a rather large home and the house hot water heater is on the opposite side of the kitchen sink. It takes about a minute or more to get hot water. Since installing this 4 gallon unit, I get hot water within 3 seconds. The 4 gallons is the perfect size. By the time the 4 gallon tank runs out, I have the hot water from the home hot water heater coming in, so the water never gets cold.

Just what we wanted - perfect & easily installed!

Product works great. Easy to install and use.

Very good point of use water heater. This is the third one I’ve purchased.

Our main hot water heater is a good distance from the kitchen sink. With copper pipes it took almost 2 gallon's to get hot water. This tank is installed on the cold water line under the sink and gives us hot water in 3 seconds. Maybe even more important is that the main hot water heater is not cycled on, thus a money saver. This item has received my Wife's approval.
