Remember: it's hot water. Not water that has been brought to a boil. There is absolutely no health benefit to using hot water. In general, it's a waste.

They make smaller, 110 volt units that work pretty good for kitchen sinks if that's your thing.
Those asking about Legionnaire's bacteria, there is a small reservoir, usually like a gallon or so that it super heats the water, or in this case, that gallon would be sitting at a dangerous 105.
I replaced my tank with the Rheem version for about 4 years now, and love it. Saved a ton of floor space in our laundry room too.

Contrary to what the other comment said, this unit isn't rated to replace a 40 gallon tank for the purpose of whole house supply. It's for kitchen, laundry, and small offices, as listed in the description.
However, a real whole house unit doesn't automatically mean it draws more current, but rather that the unit itself is larger and has more surface area to heat the water before reaching the outlet.
Moreover, inlet temperature on these is largely influential on how they will perform. There's even a chart in one of the screenshots. Obviously, warmer inlet temps aren't going to require as much energy to reach the set temp. So to assume that everyone is going to have the same experience with these, despite living in completely different regions, is a falsehood.
