rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author waterheater - I have had this unit for about 6 years. I was happy once I go over the installation and it was all said and done. We did enjoy not running out of ho water but there are some huge trade offs. You will immediately notice that you cannot control the amount...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author woodymn1 - If you can keep the thermalcouple working the hot water heater itself is underpowered. At it's best, you'll run out of hotwater in about 15 minutes. We bought a new one in January of 08, it's been a problem since. We'll probably end up replacing it...

Too little for more than 1 bedroom house, breaks often, repairs and replacement parts are not so easy to find and expensive. when installing have to make 2 holes to the outside because it needs to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dkuchta5 - Note: I don’t own this hot water heater, but I own a similar one. The comments I make here apply to all tankless heaters, regardless of brand. These are things you should consider before making a purchase. They are also things you won’t hear from the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gsh999 - Endless hot water in the shower / bath and I was surprised how much money it saves me. I switched from an electric hot water heater with a tank and I am saving about 30% on the energy. This is a reliable unit. I have it installed in a pumphouse with...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kragan - Thought this was going to be great. We spent over $1000 on this unit, really liked the idea of conservation and was willing to pay extra, but sometimes "GREEN" is only the color of your $$ flying out of your wallet. You do have to wait a considerable...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author badbonz0007 - When I moved into my house over a year ago the first thing that I had to do was replace all of the plumbing. Then I noticed that I needed a new water heater. We originally had a 40 gallon heater. I really would like to have a 50 gallon one. I shopped...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hallowhc - Whirlpool Water heaters aren't even mentioned on their website. Model EE3Z50RD055V is a "huge" disappointment. A lot of unnecessary technology went into this one. We are on our THIRD Electronic Control Board. We will never patronize Whirlpool...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chiono - I agree with the previous review. This model is an energy saver and recharges quickly. BUT the trademarked Pex Roto-Swirl dip tube is NOT replaceable. Dip tube failure, according to my research, is a common problem. It results in running out of hot...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akjay1976 - The following review was my initial opinion of the Aquastar 125B. I have updated the title and pros/cons to better suit my current opinion but I'll leave the review alone because I think it helps illustrate how this heater can take some dialing in and...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gymrat50 - We had this unit for 10 months, and we're throwing in the towel. It never worked right, we spent endless hours holding for Bosch tech support, nothing got resolved. It is a very touchy unit that goes out frequently. As of now, Bosch will not refund our...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iijewelry - After replacing an old conventional water heater, we have depended on the Bosch 125B for over one year. Like with all technical products it is important to understand how they work. It is fair to say that a tankless heater is more complicated than one...
