Hot water recirculating pump

Has anyone on the group had any experiences with these pumps?

SWMBO complains about the time required to get hot water in the
kitchen. The hot water tank is upstairs (!!) in a closet, and the
kitchen is as far away from it as you can get. Bathrooms are OK, but
not the kitchen.
Any comments?
I need to run electrical (old work box) and connect this beast.
I wired a pump with a time delay relay to run it just long enough to get the hot
water where you want it, then turn off. Little heat loss, and all the water
savings. A low voltage push button near the usage points starts the pump for the
short time run. Running the pump for ectended times is just wasteful.
