Stiebel Eltron235089 SHC 6 6 Gallon Water Heater, 6 Gal

I’ve noticed that my Bosch combi boiler is leaking a significant amount of water. To address this issue, I am currently gathering estimates for a replacement, but I want to take my time to find the best price. In the meantime, I’ve decided to purchase two small boilers for the sinks, each with a capacity of 2.5 gallons, as well as a 6-gallon boiler for the shower. This way, I can ensure that I have hot water while I resolve the problem with the central boiler, and I can continue to use the mini-boilers afterward in addition to the hot water.I installed one of these boilers for the bathtub, and as a 55-year-old woman, I found the installation to be straightforward. I had to disconnect and cap the hot water line and split the cold water line. I used standard 1/2-inch hoses and a T-fitting with nipples for the connections. I’m pleased with the boiler.

I wouldn’t have believed that this would heat water up with 120v outlet. Great for our camp sink and shower. I’m impressed with it!

I absolutely love this water heater. I have had it for almost a year now, time flies, and it is fantastic. I own a 40' fifth wheel RV and the water heater that came with my RV died. If I set the shower spout to the lower pressure side I can take a good 5 to 6 minute hot shower. Granted, that's not a very long shower but it's enough for me. When I shower my service dog and my pet dog's, I wait about 30 minutes between showers and then I have enough hot water to shower each of them individually. I keep the water heater set at maximum and my electric bill is low as can be. It's a delightful unit. I wish they made a 12 gallon larger unit that is plug-in just like this 6 gallon water heater unit. I would buy that bad boy in a heartbeat. This is a fantastic water heater. I love that I can just plug it into the power outlet and I don't have to be bothered with wiring and breakers. I installed it above my all-in-one RV washer/dryer unit. I highly recommend this unit.

Originally we had installed a 4 gallon and made the choice to upstage to a 6. It was so worth it plenty of water for us to shower in now.

I'm using this in a camp as the main hot water source and it's working out great - 6 gallons goes a surprisingly long way with low water pressure (30lbs/in) and a low flow head. A shower (one) is possible - and it recovers quickly with warm pond water as its cold water source.One thing to watch - I couldn't use a quick disconnect fitting ("SharkBite UC532LFA 90 Degree Crimp Swivel Elbow, 1/2 Inch x 1/2 Inch FNPT") on the cold side - there's a tube inserted to distribute the incoming cold water throughout the 6 gallon take and it interferes with the nipple coming off the quick connect. The hot side was OK, but not the cold. I need to disconnect and drain it every fall and have used these before on various endpoints (faucets and shower controls). I'll just have to come up with a different way to disconnect the hot and cold lines...The documentation provided with it was among the best I've ever seen. Their web site is similarly helpful, especially when choosing one model over another.

I had a hard time choosing a water heater,but I know this was the best decision, excellent quality,easy to install,and came with plug so no wiring necessary, water is very hot and recovery's very fast,I use it as my only source of hot water in my RV that I live full time,I couldn't be happier ,and able to make payments was a lovely bonus,!!!

After we installed this, a slight leak materialized. But a leak is a leak. So we contacted the company and they sent a new one, with a return label for the defective one. It was efficient and easy to work with this company.

I hooked this up to my bath shower from adjoining closet and now I don't have to wait 3 minutes for hot water to reach shower, and I don't have to pay for all the cold water that goes down the drain while I wait. I will eventually put another under the kitchen sink and then turn off the 40 gal tank. These small tanks (4 to 6 gal) are all you need to shower and wash dishes, and the "standby" watts used to maintain the temp is very low, which equals lower electric bills. Now, that being said, I am single. If you are a family of 5 that all want to shower within 45 minutes every morning, it might be a problem. On my 4 gal heater it will take about 30 minutes to reach full recovery.
