The Stiebel Eltron 235089 SHC 6 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater is a great choice for those looking for an easy-to-install, long-lasting, and well-designed water heater. This 6-gallon heater has a powerful 1300W and 120V output, and measures 15-1/8" W x 20-1/2" H x 15" D. The included bracket makes it easy to mount on the wall, and the dial on top of the unit allows you to adjust the water temperature up to 140F. It's perfect for bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, laundry areas and more.Kingdom Kraft: I use this in my grooming salon because I just didn’t need a big hot water heater & the costs. So I opted for this smaller water heater & it works great. Perfect for what I needed it for. You can’t beat German craftsmanship & products.

RyeRye: I absolutely love this water heater. I have had it for almost a year now, time flies, and it is fantastic. I own a 40' fifth wheel RV and the water heater that came with my RV died. If I set the shower spout to the lower pressure side I can take a good 5 to 6 minute hot shower. Granted, that's not a very long shower but it's enough for me. When I shower my service dog and my pet dog's, I wait about 30 minutes between showers and then I have enough hot water to shower each of them individually. I keep the water heater set at maximum and my electric bill is low as can be. It's a delightful unit. I wish they made a 12 gallon larger unit that is plug-in just like this 6 gallon water heater unit. I would buy that bad boy in a heartbeat. This is a fantastic water heater. I love that I can just plug it into the power outlet and I don't have to be bothered with wiring and breakers. I installed it above my all-in-one RV washer/dryer unit. I highly recommend this unit.

I added a sink to our kitchen island and wanted instant hot water, so I installed this 6 gallon water heater in the crawlspace directly below the sink. What a pleasure to have hot water in a couple of seconds.
This is the third of this manufacturers water heaters that we own. I installed the first 6 gallon heater in our house in Panama. It supplies 3 bathrooms and a kitchen, has a quick recovery time and still works well in the tropical moist environment after many years of service.

B. Carver:
I'm using this in a camp as the main hot water source and it's working out great - 6 gallons goes a surprisingly long way with low water pressure (30lbs/in) and a low flow head. A shower (one) is possible - and it recovers quickly with warm pond water as its cold water source.
One thing to watch - I couldn't use a quick disconnect fitting ("SharkBite UC532LFA 90 Degree Crimp Swivel Elbow, 1/2 Inch x 1/2 Inch FNPT") on the cold side - there's a tube inserted to distribute the incoming cold water throughout the 6 gallon take and it interferes with the nipple coming off the quick connect. The hot side was OK, but not the cold. I need to disconnect and drain it every fall and have used these before on various endpoints (faucets and shower controls). I'll just have to come up with a different way to disconnect the hot and cold lines...
The documentation provided with it was among the best I've ever seen. Their web site is similarly helpful, especially when choosing one model over another.

Amazon Customer: It is an easy install but the lack of a drain valve is not optimal

Helen Penney: Now my husband has fixed it, this is a nice product which works as it should. There was a huge problem initially with the pressure release valve. It was defective, and ended up spewing water everywhere. I wanted to contact the company to let them know, but there didn't seem to be an option for that on the Amazon feedback page.

Rees: Originally we had installed a 4 gallon and made the choice to upstage to a 6. It was so worth it plenty of water for us to shower in now.
