it passes the water through the heating element on demand... no need to store 40 gallons of hot water... much more efficient design.  Very green.

It's based on a differential temperature instead of a set temperature.  If you have really cold water out of the tap, you would need a bigger one than someone with tepid water.  Gas ones are better than electric, however they need to be vented.

Also, if you have a lot of bathrooms and/or a big family, several, smaller point of use ones would be better than a large whole-house one.

Great point.  Actually, I'm considering doing exactly that in my master bath.

They are the greatest thing since sliced bread.  I would give mine up for a Bulls Football National Championship.  I don't have to worry about the water heating upin the morning.

Get one and you will definitely see your power and waqter bill both decrease.
