Is the hot water available immediately? One of the reviews said you have to wait 3-4 min.

The review is accurate. It takes about 3 minutes for the hot water to be ready.

It's really more like 4-5 minutes. My wife hates it. She wants it for tea, and now she has to plan on hitting the hot water button 5 minutes before she is running out the door. There is no hot water reservoir that is constantly heated. It does it on the fly when you hit the button.

That's true, we always have to wait about 3 minutes, and also now my cold water stop working too!! I'm really not happy!!!

First off, I must say, we rarely EVER run out of hot water. We have a very large, jetted bath tub that we can fill and still take two showers simultaneously. I would say the one or two times we have run out of hot water, it has been less than 20 minutes before we have more. We have ours set to the lowest temperature setting because we have young children and don't want to worry about the water being hot enough to scald, so that might have something to do it. We absolutely love this hot water heater!!

The process of heating takes a few minutes to become "HOT". No more than 5 minutes, but it's not immediate.

Absolutely, the kettle does require about 15 - 20 seconds in between turning off and back on, so as long as you do not try to turn it back on before that time has passed you will be good.

As long as you wish :), the water will get cold in 5-7 min, but I keep adding hot water... I do it for 20-30 min total.

I had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

In all honesty, I never even knew that was a listed feature! I just tested it and (I tested at 5 mins. and 15 mins.) it gets back to the previous temperature very quickly, after initially coming out colder when first turned on. I had noticed that I get hot water from it far more quickly than from my bathroom faucet.

Hi Wave,The unit is pre-amble all you need to hook up the hot and cold water line from house. I can send you the picture on the back of the unit if you let me know your email address. Please call me at 904-699-3781 for further help.Thank you,Yanny/Luxvanity.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

Yes, it does. If you are nearby, you can hear it click off when it reaches the correct temperature. The water stays hot at least five minutes, in case you are busy with something else.

They are brand new as far as ordering but I don't know how long they have been available on the market. It is a really quick way to get hot water.

4 or 5 minutes , its pretty quick if you start it with hot water in the reservoir. but the pump is not great, because it shoots out,goes all over . i use a little scoop instead of pump.

When enough hot water is used and the cold water enters the tank, the thermostat will turn on the heating element. This probably occurs after using only half a gallon. As you deplete the remaining hot water from the tank the heating element in this unit cannot keep up to keep the water hot. Keep in mind it is not an "insta-hot" it is no different than a larger hot water heater that uses a tank. If you have this unit installed to supplement your standard hotwater heater (as I do) then the water will be warm until the hot water from your hot water heater arrives. If this is your primary source of hot water then you will need to wait for it to heat up the tank for more hot water. I'm not certain how long it takes to heat a fresh tank of cold water, I'll guess 20 minutes? In our kitchen we love it. We have hot water in 2 seconds rather than 75 seconds of running the hot water at full rate.

It doesn't take long if you will put it under hot water in your sink. just make sure it's not cold. I've never tried any other way though

Mine is full of water and on all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

With room temperature water, it takes about three minutes when set on high. I usually begin with water already heated from a brewer so it is less than a minute for it to boil.
