Anybody install one of these? They sell for about $199 at Home Depot. How
did it work out for you?


2 years ago we redid the kitchen. Refinished the cabinetry, new
refrig, installed dishwasher, great Moen faucet with filter, soap
dispenser. . . . . and instant hot water. The hot water was an
afterthought, an uncustomary impulse buy. I saw it & just thought it
looked cool.

I'm the dishwasher, so in my book the dishwasher was the coolest
upgrade--- but SWMBO fell in love with the instant hot water. We
got the model that is preset at 140 degrees. It is perfect for
brewing a single cup of coffee in her Melitta brewer. I use it for
tea and find myself using it more frequently for cooking. [for adding
a cup of bouillon or *hot* water to a recipe]

It is also handy as a source of extra hot water for removing labels,
melting wax, dissolving dried jelly, etc.

BTW- I have an electrical drain someplace in my house & I suspected
this little gadget that only gets used about once a day so I put a
Kill-o-watt meter on it for 2 weeks. It used on average about
..8KWH a day-- about $3 a month in my neck of the woods.
