Review: Stiebel German Brand Quality with safety in mind - Throughout the years, I have experimented with various models of hot water heaters, particularly for situations where only a modest amount of hot water is needed, such as in a kitchenette or cloakroom. Each type has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Recently, I made the switch to the Stiebel Eltron DCE-S 6/8 Plus Compact Instant Water Heater, a premium product from a well-respected German brand renowned for its commitment to quality. While the price tag is on the higher side, the reliability it offers provides invaluable peace of mind. One of the standout features of this unit is its compact size, which allows it to fit seamlessly into tight spaces without compromising performance. Installation was relatively straightforward, though I encountered various comments online concerning the connections for hot and cold water flows. To mitigate any potential issues, I proactively reached out to the Stiebel technical helpline based in the UK. I was pleasantly surprised by their prompt and courteous response; they provided clarity on whether they approved the use of flexipipe fittings and confirmed there were UK, German fittings size differences to consider during installation. This model includes adjustable jumper settings within the unit, enabling me to control the maximum output temperature. This feature is particularly beneficial, as it negates the need for an additional thermostat mixing valve, simplifying the installation process further. As for durability and longevity, only time will reveal the true capabilities of this heater. For the moment, I wholeheartedly recommend it based on my initial experiences. I plan to check back later to provide an update on its long-term performance.
Review: Good instant hot water option when a combi boiler isn't an option - I have a small 3 bed bungalow, I have a hot tap for the bathroom basin and for the kitchen sink. The house had a huge 120L hot water cylinder that served these two tap outlets which was massive overkill as the heating system (oil) isn't used enough to keep the water in the tank warm (so the immersion heater had to be used which is highly inefficient for just serving taps for 2x sinks). I decided I wanted an electric instant water heater as gas is not available at my address and oil combi boilers are horrendously expensive and (from reading reviews) seem a lot less reliable than their heat only counterparts. So, I settled on this heater after being recommended it and I'm glad I did because it's compact and does the job well enough for serving 2x hot taps for basins. The pipe run from the heater to the bathroom tap is about 6m, and to the kitchen sink about 5m (the taps T off a common 3m run. I wanted to place the heater in the "plumbing cupboard" which is where the previous hot water cylinder used to live which is why the pipe runs are a little longer.... The bathroom hot tap takes about 10 seconds of being on before hot water arrives at the tap, and the flow is more than acceptable for an instant hot water heater. I wouldn't recommend this if you intend to use it to serve a bath or possibly even a shower (I'd recommend a standalone shower unit for that). But for occasional use for basins, this is a perfect solution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good but....
*by R***O on 18 December 2023*

It runs very expensive compared to the standard electric shower. Even if I use the ECO mode, the electric shower still runs cheaper. Great solution though for sinks, basins in areas out of the gas grid.
