We bought this for use in a 2000 s.f. cabin we are building, and it has lived up to all it's promises. The water comes out of the ground really really cold - we're up north in the mountains, but this gizmo heats it up in an instant. We have enough hot to wash dishes and take a shower at the same time. Just a word of warning - my husband is a do-it-yourselfer and installed it himself, with jsut a little bit of help from an electrician friend. Well, for the first few weeks, we were taking virtually cold showers. I was ready to rip the thing down and send it back. But then we realized we had the power turned all the way down. (We thought it was all the way up - instructions are not clear on this). Even turned all the way down, the water was still a little bit warm. Anyway, we turned it up (slightly) and the water is as hot as can be! We are loving not having to pay to keep a tank of water hot all winter, in a home we won't use until spring.
Very Pleased Overall!!!

I have had the Bosch AE 125 since January 2004. Recently I encountered a problem with the cylinders seeping water and loss of hot water altogether.
I contacted BOSCH and as mentioned in other reviews, I experienced the automated answering system and elected to leave my name, phone number and brief message rather than waiting for a rep to answer. I was surprised to receive a call within an hour from a rep and the customer service was superb!!! Still under warranty, They shipped out a new unit to me that day and I received it within 24 hours!
The issue with the cylinders has been addressed by BOSCH and the new unit included the upgraded cylinders which are no longer copper.
Any appliance can encounter problem every now and then, I rate my satisfaction based on customer support when needed and BOSCH has impressed me.
Great Product, I have saved alot of $$$ on my electric bill since I switched to the tankless water heater. I will not go back to a standard water heater.
WHAT A CONCEPT!!!!

My reason for ordering this was all about saving space. Now I have a nice-looking 12" x 12" white box hanging on the wall in my laundry room and have hot water in an instant. This unit also qualifed me for a $300 tax credit as it is very energy efficient. I recommend this to anyone who wants to save space and/or money!
Hot Water Heater Performs Great

I'm really happy my purchase and the water heater works extremely well. It is January in South Carolina and ground water is cold now. There is still more than enough hot water.

It has been much more effective than the 50 gallon tank it replaced. It takes 1 minute for hot water to arrive to the shower... which is not much longer than the 50 gallon tank it replaced.

The system requires (3) 8/2 wires, (3) 40 amp breakers, and (3) disconnect boxes in sight of the heater. It has a much stronger electrical system in comparison to some of the other units on the market.

I also added a point of use heater to the kitchen so this large unit did not have to heat up every time hot water was needed in the kitchen.

Reviewer: clocker1,
I bought online and installed it myself using compression fittings - very easy to do. Total cost $650, total time about 1/2 a day. I live in northern VA (it's very important to know ground water temperature with smaller units) and can get 2 showers+ in the summer. In the winter 1 shower + 1 faucet. There is a little fluctuation in temperature in the winter, but I think this can be corrected with the hot water valve now that I know what's going on. Electric is actually cheaper than gas in our area, so this was a good choice. Monthly savings appear to be about 19 percent. Made one service call and got a quick answer.
