Review-Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater

Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater :

The SHC Mini-tank frees up precious space while providing plenty of hot water for hand washing or kitchen type applications. Why store 30 or more gallons of hot water when 4 gallons or even 2.5 gallons are sufficient for the job? The unit installs right under or near the sink. Lightweight and compact, the SHC mounts to the wall (bracket included).

Product Description :

Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater excel at supplying hot water at a sink for hand washing or for kitchen applications. An SHC saves water and electricity by putting hot water right where it is needed rather than having a long pipe run from a central hot water tank. The small tank and good insulation reduces the stand-by losses compared with larger tank water heaters and the wait for hot water at the tap is reduced to a minimum. An SHC can also be installed in-line with a central tank to allow immediate hot water draws without waiting for a long pipe run to purge itself of cold water. It may also be used to buffer temperatures in a DHW recirculation loop. Lightweight and compact, an SHC mounts right under or near a sink with its included bracket. Once it is filled with water, it is easy to simply plug it into a 120 volt outlet as no special wiring is required. A T&P valve is supplied and should be installed. Stiebel Eltron has been a world leader in advanced water heating technology for 90 years. Our engineering excellence and high-quality manufacturing results in products fulfilling the highest expectations of performance & reliability and our Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater is no exception.

What do Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater users say about the product?

I have this installed in my dog grooming van. The unit is powered by a twist timer, and I it fully heats in about 20 min.. The full hot temp is too hot, so I lowered the setting.

The unit works better than I expected. It was ready to use in 30 minutes. i showered at least 10 minutes and didnt run out of hot water. Nice product. Very pleased, excellent value.

It was very easy to install and works great. I installed it in-line with main HW system and we get instant hot water. I like it so much, I ordered a second unit to install in another bathroom the same way..

No long term experience since we just installed but so far very happy. We put it in an area where we need hot water intermittently but it is too far from the house water heater.
