5.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying!!!, August 22, 2010
For those who don't know, Stiebel Eltron make the best electric tankless heaters on the market. They have the digital thermostat, and it will keep your water to the exact temperature you set regardless of demand. I set mine to 106'F and it is exactly 106'F, regardless of if I have just 1 tap open or 5 plus a shower, dishwasher, etc...

As for installation it was fairly basic. Just an in and out for the plumbing and the electrical was fairly straightforward. You need 3 x 60A 208-204V lines plus a ground. That means 6 spaces in your breaker panel. This is the biggest electric tankless that can go on a 200A service. Anything larger and you need a 400A service. I am a licensed electrician so instalation was simple for me. Otherwise I would definitely hire an electrician to do the hookup. It can be intimidating to do the electical yourself with all the options. Do you use flex, tech cable, just plain old lumex, etc... I piped mine in using EMT and #6 wire, although... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Its FABULOUS!... with a couple of caveats., October 17, 2009

(REAL NAME)   
I am very happy with this purchase. Mounting the Tempra 29 Plus and the required new electrical box in the closet was as easy as 8 screws. Wiring it all up was a little more work. The plumbing is simple if you put it where your tank was. And losing our old 50 gallon tank gave us some new closet room for the house! The product itself is absolutely fabulous and is only about 4-5 inches deep and maybe 15"x15"ish. It looks very well made. (Those Germans always make good stuff!) Once installed, your water will easily get hotter than you can stand and I felt no fluctuation in the shower when the washing machine and a sink were also running hot. The ONLY negatives I see are 1)the dedicated line requirements and 2)a couple of our fluorescent fixtures flicker/strobe slightly when hot water is running. I feel like that might simply be due to cheap bulbs or something because the "flicker" is isolated to just two fixtures in the whole house. Bottom line: Buy it. Just be prepared for a little...

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Tank, January 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Stiebel Eltron Tempra 29 Plus Electric Tankless Whole House Water Heater, 240 V, 28.8 kW (Tools & Home Improvement)
After deciding to go tankless, did not want to mess around so after some research decided to go with this brand and capacity. From what I could gather, Steibel Eltron is top of the line in terms of quality and technology and the 29 was more than enough power for my 2.5 baths. The big learning after I ordered the unit was that the electrical requirements are pretty significant. You can't just plug this thing in. If you have an existing breaker panel with plenty of empty spaces you should be okay, although you may still need an electrician to run some thick cables through your walls to get closer to the unit. I had to have a new panel put in (near the unit, connected to existing panel through the walls/ceiling). A fair amount of work for an electrician and then to patch up the walls. Total cost for that was around $1,500. Separately, had a plumber install the unit and get rid of the old tank heater as well as the vents and gas piping that fed it for about $500. So all in, cost...
