turn on timer 5.00 am to 11.00 pm it use to take 4 min before i get hot water up stairs wasted so much water. Now 30 seconds i have hot water, no complaint this will save some $$ because you not waiting for hot water to filter through
As far as how much i really do not care because i need hot water entire house at any given time.
Yes cold water tap will take 30 seconds before you see cold water because you have hot water filtering through the cold water pipe.

Assuming the former— Let's remove the discussion of schedules for a moment, and say that you wake up and run the water for ~3 minutes to get it hot so that you can wash dishes or whatever. Pressing a button and doing other chores while this thing runs and coming back then getting hot water instead of running cold water down the drain seems like a no-brainer in this case, right? Am I missing something? Are there downsides to running hot water through cold pex lines (besides temporary warm water when you were expecting cold) or anything like that?

So there's savings in water but waste in energy by having to continuously heat new water coming into the tank. Wonder what the cost/benefit to this is (water saved vs. energy used)?

-cost of energy to run hot water heater
-cost of energy to run device
-sunk cost of the device
-savings of water recovered
*I understand that the convenience of instant hot water can be "priceless" and that is the tradeoff for the benefit for some people.
Just trying to understand the value proposition for this device.
I think I'll wait with the all of the West in drought, I think there will be rebates soon for water-saving devices.

There was no noticeable increase in electrical use but we saw instant savings with our water bill plus the luxury of instant hot water.
There is about a 50' run from our electric water heater to our master bath shower. I use a Wyze Google enabled smart outlet to control it and a 30 minute run time limit in case I forget to turn it off using the Wyze app.
so what the cost for heating hot water all day verses waiting 4 min every time you want to use hot water.?
I not worried about the extra cost I just need hot water available to me at any given time of the day.
I am done have a wonderful day
As the OP mentioned, like the majority of installers, these will be placed on a wifi-enabled plug for circulation on-demand, and require several minutes of circulation before the water gets hot.
The only solution to true "instant" hot water is to install a mini water heater under the sink. I get hot water in less than 5 seconds with this Bosch unit
