This is perfect for a small condo/house. We have a one bath condo that we installed this in. It works great. It does take some getting used to because it seems to me that you have to run the water just a little bit longer to get it hot (compared to a tank water heater), but then no problems. Best to use it with only on fixture, i.e. dont start the washer when someone is in the shower. But you can wash your hands in the sink with hot water while someone is in the shower with out them noticing. If you have more than one bedrooms, get that larger Bosch AE125 unit.

We bought this product to replace a 20yr old tanked water heater. We have been working for a week now trying to get a hot shower. We live in Texas so our water temp is okay with this unit but our electric is taking alot of re-do to get it to the point of a pleasing shower temp. I recommend that everyone have the unit professionally installed by an electrician/plumber and then stay on top of the problems before the warranty is expired. Good concept just not so great for DIY.

Provides more than enough hot water for our two-person family. In Florida, the water is boiling hot even when it's 30's F outside. Failed after three years of use (during which maintenance was required or completed) when one heater module started leaking. I called Bosch and they are sending a replacement unit that uses polymer heat modules (mine had copper units) after I explained the problem. Overall very friendly customer service (I called when I first installed the unit too). Sometimes runs hot and cold; but I think that it's related to my cold water pressure being very inconsistent throughout a single shower. The hot/cold cycles could be more than fixed with an automatic temp shower head.
