I want to know too. I have had my eye on getting one for a while. I saw one at Lowes for less that $500

nope. at the farm. they are fantastic. don't go cheap though.

I heard that they wont fire up if you just have the faucet set at a low flow ..You must have a high flow to get it to fire up..Is that true?

i wouldn't know. i go big or go home. if i'm washing my hands, taking a shower or spraying the spaghetti sauce off of my plate, i prefer a robust stream to a drizzle of water.

Well if you were washing Gravy off the plate, you would need a high flow..sauce, maybe a weak flow

He's making fun of me. It's all good.

i'm not making fun of you at all!!! I'm trying to strike a balance here and I did genuinely feel bad for making your work difficult of late..l

I was warned against them when our old one burst. Heard they don't last as long and aren't as efficient (warm-water-wise, not cost-wise).

That could have been plumber bias, but people who have had them confirmed the less consistent heat part
