Water heater works well after 2 hour installation on 3/12/26. One of the fittings on the copper water line was missing. My plumber luckily had the fittings needed with him.This one replaced the same size model we purchased in 2010. Our gets daily use. I would recommend this product.

If you are comfortable putting a new faucet onto a sink then this should be no trouble for you. A pro plumber should have no trouble at all. All you need is a spare hole in the counter where you want the hot tap to go, and a 115v socket under the sink where you want the main unit to go. Keep in mind that the socket will need to be hot at all times to keep the water in the tank hot. My socket was switched so that it controlls the garbage disposal. I was replacing my disposal at the same time, so I added an insinkerator countertop switch (requires another spare countertop hole). Now I just leave the wall switch on, which keeps the HOT150 powered, and use the counter switch to turn the disposal on & off. If i want the hot water off like if I'm off on vacation, I can just flip the wall switch. If you don't have a countertop hole for this, you might need to rewire your under-sink socket so it has a switched socket, and an always-hot socket.The water lines provided are somewhat short, so I got a 18in piece of braided stainless hose and adapted it to the lines from the unit. The unit uses a 1/4" copper tube as its main feed line, so you will need to purchase a T-fitting to add a new outlet on your sink's supply to feed the unit, and a compression fitting for the copper line, plus whatever other tubes and adapters. In my setup I have a standard sink tee->braided hose->stepdown adapter->compression fitting. you may wind up with something a little different depending on if you need the extra hose and what fittings your store carries.once you have all the connection bits its really plug and play: drop the faucet in from the top, screw the unit to the wall, plug in the lines from the faucet to the unit, connect the copper feed to the sink supply. Then you flush the unit for a couple of min and plug it in. Job done.In operation its pretty simple. I didn't flush as carefully as the instructions say and I did get some gurgling noise when its heating for the first day or two. I also found that when turned all the way up it actually boils the water inside. Possibly due to some air pockets, but I'd leave it set at 75% or lower to start, as it can definitely heat up above 212deg in some cases. safer to start on the cool side and bump it up till you get the temp you want. After I got the temp dialed in and the air flushed out its been quiet and excellent. I live a lone so I'm making single drinks at a time - I don't know if larger families might find the reservoir too small.Overall if basic plumbing (and possibly a little electric work) don't bother you this should be easy to install and seems to be a nice unit.

Love this in my new kitchen. Works great. When installing, place as close to the edge of countertop as possible and not too close to the corner of the sink in order to allow room for diameter of larger mugs, bowls, etc.

I have had Insinkerator hot water dispensers for more that 40 years in two homes. Each unit lasted 10 to 12 years. The version I just replaced was still providing hot water, but had begun to leak. In my current home, I replaced the original installed during construction in 2003 about 12 years ago. That was a very simple, straightforward replacement. The latest unit seemed like a straightforward replacement too, but there were complications. The main box mounted readily on the existing screws, and the mounting hardware provided for the faucet is the best yet. All good so far, but then I discovered that the copper tube for the main water supply was about 3 inches shorter than the previous model, and too short to reach the supply valve that had worked for the previous two units. After considering various options, I decided to splice on a few inches of 1/4" copper tubing. I cut some tubing from the old leaky unit, and also salvaged a 1/4" compression coupling from that unit. I had to purchase new ferrules (known as sleeves at Home Depot), requiring a trip to town, about 45 minutes round trip. Then I discovered that the 1/4" copper tubing that came with the new unit was in fact 0.27 inches. The compression nut and ferrule would not fit on the tubing. With about 15 minutes of work with steel wool, all of which was done under the sink, I reduced the diameter of the tubing sufficiently to install the nut and ferrule. All of this hassle increased what should have been a 30-minute job to about three hours. InSinkerator needs to think about these issues, and make sure their 1/4" copper tubing is in fact 1/4", not 0.27", and that the supply tube is the same length as earlier models--especially given that this is an item that has a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years.

I’m thrilled to finally receive my Hot Water Dispenser.. I drink hot tea every day and this thing is definitely a time saver, plus I don’t have to use a pot on the stove. So wonderful for tea and for having instant hot water when needed for other foods. Love it!

Good quality and very functional...glad I purchased the lever action rather than the push button...like the way that the lever springs back (safety). My plumber installed it when he was doing something else for me, -so I don't know how it would gone for me...was easy for him. This item has turned out to be even more useful for our daily routine than I initially anticipated.Good purchase.

J'avais des doutes au début, car son prix équivalait à un robinet de remplacement pour mon chauffe-eau précédent. Il est installé depuis 5 mois et nous en sommes toujours ravis. Si le bec du robinet avait été un peu plus long, ça aurait été génial, car l'installation avec un évier sous-comptoir le distance beaucoup du bord.

I have just recently install this under counter hot water tap. The tap and water container appear to be well made and, so far, have bee working perfectly. My only complaint was the difficulty in installation cause by the overly short threaded post which is provided for tightening the unit under the counter. I have a 1 1/2" thick butcher block counter. The unit could not be installed used the plastic shim, only the c-shaped metal washer and nut. I think I lost some of the tightening capability because of this. A significant design flaw I think for thicker counters.

Very easy and quick to install and produces lot of super hot almost boiling water. Excellent for making tea! You will probably need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy the correct fitting for the water connection though- it’s not included in the box. In spite of this it works so well that I still rate it at 5 stars. The finish and function of the included faucet are also both very, very good. It looks great!

This was to replace the one we had. Works fantastic. Once you have this you will wonder how you lived without it before! No kettle to wait for, instant coffee, hot chocolate, tea ready in seconds.
