Review on Anaheim AH-1300 Quick and Hot: 🔥 Instant Water Heater for On-Demand Hot Water Supply by Steven Brouillard

This unit replaced a unit that had lasted ten years and worked perfectly after about a month. As a mechanical engineer, I'm always trying to figure out why something isn't working anymore. When I opened up my previous block, which appears to be identical to the new one, I expected to see a rusted tank or other obvious malfunction, but I didn't. One day I will examine it more closely and leave it for spare parts. I suspect the leak was nothing more than a loose gasket or bad o-ring. To decide which of the many devices on the market to buy to replace the old one, I did a lot of research and came to a few conclusions. I can't say for sure if they're 100% correct, but I think they're worth sharing: As far as I can tell, there are a lot of these undercounter water heaters on the market, and they all look the same, except for the label on the body. Front. However, prices range almost twice from around $150 to around $300. Some of the more expensive ones have a stainless steel outer shell and claim to have a stainless steel water tank. The former doesn't add anything to the device as the outer shell never leaks and actually has drainage holes at the bottom. The latter has its value, but I'm pretty sure all devices have a stainless steel water tank, no matter the price. So why the cost spread? Apparently due to different warranty periods. The one I'm reviewing, the cheapest I've found, has a one-year warranty. The most expensive have a longer term, usually three years. Based on my research, they appear to fail in two ways: very quickly, indicating a likely manufacturing defect, or after four to 10 years (or maybe longer, depending on water chemistry or amount of use). ). Both guarantees cover the first type of failure and neither the second. My advice: get the cheapest that has some sort of guarantee (like the one I'm reviewing). Something else. Many people notice the leakage of the tank and the destruction of the wooden cabinet. I put a plastic bucket under the tank to get water. Note that even a perfect tank can leak if the thermostat is set too high and the leak is often a small amount of water used to relieve pressure (November 2020): I've had this unit for several years now and it still works perfectly. I am constantly appalled by the cheap, poorly made things that are being sold, but this device is not one of them. It looks like their business model is to sell devices that have a reputation for quality at reasonable prices, and rely on reviews and word of mouth to sell many of them - what a refreshing approach! Please be assured that I have no financial interest in this product.
