Our verdict

A plug-in mini tank that puts hot water right at a sink, or ends the wait when fitted in-line with a main heater. It holds a small supply, so long draws run out quickly.

Overview

Homeowners and small businesses waiting too long for hot water at one sink get a mini tank that plugs into a standard outlet. It taps into the cold line at the sink, hangs on a bracket or rests on the floor, and stores a small hot supply right there.

No hardwiring and a fast supply at the tap make it simple to add. It can also sit in-line with a main heater to remove the wait for hot water. Temperature range and recovery time are not listed.

Who it's for

Remote bathrooms, garages and break rooms with light use get the most from it. Showers and heavy kitchen use need a larger heater.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Plugs into a standard outlet
  • Wall or floor mounting
  • Relief valve fitted
  • Works in-line with a main heater
Cons
  • Small supply for long draws
  • Temperature range not listed
  • Recovery time not stated

Performance notes

Supply runs out once the stored hot water is used, then the element reheats it, so draw length matters more than flow. Fitting it in-line with a main heater lets it bridge the wait until main hot water arrives. The glass lining protects the tank from corrosion.
