I was told that this unit was far superior to the Insinkerator that I was replacing after 10 years of great service. Not true.
The delivery of the water is uneven, you never know when it will dispense. When it builds up steam in the unit, it just starts dripping to relieve the pressure. There must be a better way, as I didn't have to put up with the dripping with my Insinkerator. I can't wait to replace it and it would be gone now, if I hadn't paid so much for it. It just feels flimsy, sorry it's not that hot.

I owned a Franke Little Butler. It is the same as this unit. There are about a half dozen suppliers of this identical unit all branded differently, but it has the same guts inside. For $140 bucks you can't go wrong. Mine lasted about 5 years. I could spend $85 to replace the immersion heating element inside the stainless steel tank, but its so easy to disconnect the two hoses, unplug the power, lift up the unit off the wall-mount bracket and be done with it. It should take 1/2 hour. They are cheaply made, so buy two and put one in the garage for 5 years from now. They'll probably double in price; where are you going to get that kind of return for your money? Certainly not at Wells Fargo or Bank of America. Oh, the dripping and steaming another reviewer experienced means they had the thermostat set too high. NOTE: If you are going to go away for a while, unplug this unit...the tank is open to the atmosphere and 190 degree water will evaporate over time. The unit does have a thermostat so it will keep cycling on and off till all the water is gone and your immersion heating element burns out. Another reviewer experienced waiting a long time for the water to come out and low temperatures. This unit fills the tank from the bottom up. Hot water rises above cold water. When the tank is finally full, the overflow rises up the center tube and out of the sink fixture; if it takes a long time, that means it has been some time since it was last dispensed from and/or the thermostat is set high. Use a thermometer in a glass of dispensed water to check the temperature and adjust the temperature setting for 190 degrees.Best Deals for Everpure EV9318-40 Solaria Instant Hot Water Dispenser
I purchased 3 of these over a period of 3 years, they all leaked or tripped the breaker after very little use. Im looking for something more reliable this timeHonest reviews on Everpure EV9318-40 Solaria Instant Hot Water Dispenser
Long Island Homeowner gave a lot of good feedback. I have tried a couple and this is the best that I have had. The unit can produce over 4 cups of very hot water in one run, I haven't tried the upper limit but that is good enough for most needs. It also has a very fast recovery so you can get more hot water very quickly.There is some sensitivity to routing of the hot hose to the faucet. If the hose droops down from the unit before going up you will get a little cool water and a sputter/burst of air before getting hot. Be sure to mount the unit level, if you don't the steam won't vent properly and you can get sputtering. Construction is average but everything is thin walled so I don't expect infinite life. Then again, as noted the replacement process is SIMPLE so it really isn't much of an issue.

I had an old instant hot water heater in our motorhome and it died.I read many reviews and decided on this unit. The install was simple the hard part was crawling under the sink!
It hooked right up to the existing water spigot from the old unit even though it was a KitchenAid brand!
I did take another reviewers advice and went to Lowes and got a brass compression fitting (under $1) to mate up the unit with the old copper 1/4" tubing.
Works great, we are very happy it!
