A neat point-of-use mini-tank that puts hot water at a single sink, with a glass-lined tank and relief valve included. The listing contradicts itself on plug-in versus hardwired installation.

Overview
Eemax built this point-of-use mini-tank to hold a small store of hot water under a sink, using a glass-lined tank for long life. It mounts on the wall or floor with the included bracket and connects to the plumbing with standard threaded fittings.
Hot water at the tap without new circulation lines or pumps is the gain. Electrical installation is unclear, since one part of the listing says it must be hardwired and another mentions an outlet plug.
Who it's for
Offices, workshops and homes with one remote sink get warm water within seconds of opening the tap. Anyone hoping to supply a shower from it will run out quickly with a tank this size.
Pros and cons
- Relief valve included
- Wide temperature adjustment
- Wall or floor mounting
- Made in the United States
- Small tank empties fast
- Hardwired vs plug-in conflict in listing
- Bulky compared with a tankless unit
Performance notes
Hot water supply depends on tank size and recovery: once the stored water is drawn off, the low wattage element needs time to reheat the next batch. The glass lining protects the steel from corrosion, which is what governs tank life.
