This is the 5th unit I have purchased and it does everything I wanted an under sink heater. I have a tankless hot water heater and it work very well except that the water runs from heater to sink plus the tankless water heat up time does not allow to wash your hands in hot water. Therefore the 5 Bosch ES2.5 Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater Tronic 3000 T 2.5-Gal heaters we have purchased. The heater works well and we did not see any spike in electric usage that we thought we would have even with having 4 units installed at once. This 5th unit is going in as we added a bathroom to the 3rd floor "game room" area.

This is my second Bosch Tronic 3000T ES2.5 Mini-Tank Water Heater 2.5 Gallon heater I've purchased. It was almost impossible to stop a small leak at the INLET fitting. I tried several different couplings and had almost given up and thought I'd have to return it as defective. Finally after using different sealants and tightening a lot more than should have been necessary the leak stopped. If you buy one be sure you have free return shipping if it's defective!

This is the second one I purchased. We have a tank-less water heater and it took a lot of water "to my wife" to get hot water up to our master bath, so she would wash up with it cold. This worked great for her. I put it under the bathroom cabinet and hooked the hot water line from the tank-less to the cold water inlet to the new Bosch water heater. So now she has hot water right a way and it is unlimited.

I love the way it works. I installed it in the upstairs bathroom and instead of running a gallon or so of water before hot water comes out the tap, I've got hot water right away! Another nice thing about hooking it up to the hot water line in the bathroom is by the time the Bosch's little 2.5 gal tank would normally start to run cool/cold, the hot water from the basement tank is filling into the little heater and I never have an issue of cold water coming from the Bosch unit.

The heater arrived quickly and in good condition. It installed easily under our bathroom sink. The biggest challenge was to find a pan of suitable size to put under the heater as is recommended in case of leaks. Found a 16" x 16" x 2" aluminum cake pan that seems will work for minors leaks. I connected the inlet to our "hot" water line which use to deliver warm water to the facet after 1-2 minutes. With the heater installed, there is warm water in about 2 seconds. I set the thermostat to "ideal" which is in the middle of the setting range. Right after the heating light goes out (takes about 10 minutes to reheat the tank) the water is very warm, but not hot. After using the water for a 1-2 minutes, it begins to cool down because new cold water is flowing into the heater. The light comes on, and 10 minutes later the water is very warm again. Works well for our evening get-ready-for-bed routine. The only slight issue, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that the water has a bit of an odor. It is not as noticeable if the water was just reheated, but if the water has been sitting in the heater overnight, there is a bit of an odor. Maybe it is just new (but not good) smell that will eventually go away. After using it for about two weeks, it seems to be a great little unit, and one we wish we had purchased years ago. Only time will tell how long the unit will last, but I plan to replace the anode rod each year as recommended.Read full review
