About Bosch Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
71% liked the capacity
The electric-water-heater has a 4 gallon capacity which is sufficient to wash 6-8 baby bottles at a time.
For a 15 minute warm water shower at a reasonable flow rate, the power demand is only 25% of the 1500wH capacity of my 1500X.
66% appreciated the digital controls
Each unit is connected to a WiFi controlled outlet, which turns off during periods of high electrical cost or when I am away.
69% appreciated the durability, but 31% experienced issues
I had to replace the first unit after only 1 year and 6 months of use due to corrosion around the heating element port causing leakage.
My electric-water-heater failed after only 3 years.
My electric-water-heater started leaking after less than two years of very light use.
75% found it easy to install
The installation is easy, but it requires plumbing and electrical skills, connectors, fittings, and hoses designed for hot water.
It is easy to install and takes little space. It can be powered with a 110 volt outlet.
The installation was made easy with the 120 volt plug-in feature.
It was very easy for me to install and connect to existing water lines.

68% liked the energy-efficient design
I found the electric-water-heater to be super efficient. I used a Kill A Watt meter to measure its energy consumption and found that it used only 8.8kW in its initial 415hrs and then 6.5kW in the next 300hrs. It consumes only 0.021kW/hr (21W/hr) which is awesome. I also compared it with a laptop which uses 50W/hr.
My unit is plugged into a Kill-a-watt meter and it indicates about 1kw/day under normal use at the recommended setting.
The electric-water-heater is very efficient with minimal clicking on and off.
71% praised the heating performance, while 29% experienced issues
I gave the thermostat 4 stars instead of 5 because of its delay or lag.
64% appreciated the safety features, though 36% had concerns
The pressure safety relief valve has a serious leak record.
The thermostat is heating the water more than it should be and staying on too long, which is completely unacceptable and a safety issue.
