I purchased this product for my home 2 years ago. It has consistently malfunctioned over the course of two years failing to provide hot water. It has finally given up the ghost permanently after 2 years of poor service. Please do not buy this.

It is working great, I installed it myself ( but note that I am an electrician) I bought this model to replace a similiar on demand unit that we have used for 17 years. Glad it is becoming more popular now!

Comments about PowerStar PowerStar AE115 Electric Water Heater - AE115:
Although it takes about the same amount of time to get "hot" water to my kitchen sink from a cold start, there is a learning curve involved in getting used to the new water heater. It does not seem to get the water as hot as the old tank-type did, and the rate of flow at the faucet seems to have a great deal to do with how hot you can get it. A medium rate seems to work best. If you wash dishes in the sink, you may have some difficulty getting a dishpan full of hot water; as you turn it on it takes about 45 seconds to heat up, but in that time it doesn't get really hot, so you get a lukewarm start to the pan. You need to decrease flow for the unit to catch up, and if you decrease it a bit too much, the unit seems to shut off and you get a cold flow until you increase to get the unit started up again. As I am retired and fairly patient, it is not a huge problem here, but I think it is not good enough for a family household. Needs to get hotter and stay hotter.
