Great product! However, make sure that you get a big enough one to run your washer, dishwasher, shower, and sinks at the same time. Most people that install this system have to install 2 units. It can get costly and tales a long time to re-coupe your expense. If money is an issue, I would recommend replacing your existing water heater with a highly rated Energy Star Water heater but also install the correct size water heater jacket. The jacket will save an additional $5-$12 Per month and pay for itself in about 6 months.

I think they're an amazing idea. I don't have one (yet), but from what I understand you can save loads of money on water & energy because you're not keeping a huge tank of water hot. Also space saving.
