Default Tankles Water Heater

Does anyone know if the tankless water heaters are any good? Any
drawbacks. I have natural gas supply in the house from the street.

Thanks

Here is an example:

The jury is still out. They are more complex and not many local techs
have much experience with them in the US. Not many users have experience
with them. On the other hand they are a mature product having been the norm
in many parts of the world, take up less space and have less idle losses
than a standard tank type does. For now I think I will stick with the tank
type, but I could be talked into one if the price was right. I would not
count on the big energy savings some suggest. You are likely to get some
energy savings, but that would depend on your usage profile.
