3. Powerstar Tankless Water Heaters - Bosch
The Powerstart models are made by Bosch, the company involved in the gas
Tankless recall. Despite this fact they make a quality Tankless electric
models as well. These models can be found at some Home Depot stores.
They offer a 5 year warranty on their products. The model performed well
in testing but did have some short comings. The outer casing is plastic
and the temperature ranges were not adjustable like the Titan and
Stiebel models. The prices offered for these units are fair and the
customer service offered is excellent. Again another Tankless unit with
dozens of websites selling the product. We find the best and most
reliable to be good old Home Depot:

4. Eemax Tankless Water Heaters
We were reluctant to even list a number 4 this year but gave the nod to
Eemax. Despite receiving complaints from customers about failed internal
components the company seems to be making headway and improving. The
best distributor we found for this and other Tankless Water Heater
models was this plumbing product website:
www.PlumberSurplus.com
The following Tankless models are not
recommended for purchase
Many fly by night companies are popping up trying to jump on the
tankless market. In our opinion these are tankless models that we do not
recommend for purchase.
AMERICAN HEAT TANKLESS - This unit
appears to be manufactured almost entirely in China and not the U.S.A.
The unit is made of plastic and has a low pressure rating.
