Description
This tankless electric water heater is ideal for mid-range whole-home applications. This unit is ideal for single shower applications in the Midwest. The Rheem Performance tankless electric water heaters offer a continuous, endless supply of hot water. A lower kilowatt unit can provide hot water on demand for single or multiple point-of-use applications while a higher kilowatt unit could provide hot water for a whole house depending on the inlet ground water temperature. Tankless electric water heaters save space, save energy, save money, and require no venting. The sleek, compact size, 90 percent smaller than a tank, allows you to save space and place the unit wherever you want, including under a sink. Tankless units only draw energy when hot water is flowing, while traditional tanks are constantly drawing energy to keep the water in the tank at the desired temperature. Rheem's self-modulating technology can save Up to 50 percent on your water heating bill.

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.
The Rheem Tankless Water Heater was generally well received, with users particularly praising its compact design and nearly instant hot water supply. Noteworthy also were its energy-saving qualities and the fact that it never runs out of hot water. Some users, however, expressed concerns about installation difficulties and sufficient hot water supply for simultaneous multiple use (such as two showers at once). A few users also mentioned some confusion regarding the unit's wiring, and one cautioned that the unit might not work as effectively for filling bathtubs. As a whole though, most reviewers found the product to be well worth the purchase.

Should I Buy It?
If you are looking for a compact, energy-efficient solution for your hot water needs, and do not mind possibly hiring professionals for installation, then yes, the Rheem Tankless Water Heater is a sound purchase. However, if you have a larger household or often require multiple simultaneous uses of hot water, you might want to consider a larger model.
