INSINKERATOR HOT250 Instant Hot Water Dispenser System, H250MBLK-SS

This is the second replacement of an original item I installed over 12 years ago. A cogent rant can be written about planned obsolescence, but I also accept the fact that this device is used repeatedly every day in my kitchen for cleaning as well as beverage preparation. It gets a remarkable amount of use. The water heater itself is a straight out swap for the previous unit. Secure water, remove clips, remove vent and water lines and remove and replace on wall under kitchen sink. Five minutes from start to finish. I replaced the spigot that I'd been using for over 10 years with the slightly larger, more robust dispenser that came with this unit. Although it is a good deal larger than the dispenser head it replaced, it is also more robustly built and provides a swiveling neck. All in all, after 3 months of use, I would say that this unit has pleased me with its functionality and esthetics, and I have no concerns giving it a five star rating.

Best price on the market. Looks and works great. Used for more than hot water for tea. Great as a pot starter for boiling pasta, soaking grease lined pans, hard to remove baked on grease. Excellent product.

It works perfectly. The water is the right temperature. You can adjust how hot you want it and it doesn’t leak.

We have had countertop water heaters for years. Recently, the current one started to make noise like the seal was leaking……time to get a new one. My wife ordered a new one but sent me a link to this product, saying that at our new house (we hope to start building in the next 6 months), saying this is what she wants. I read the listing and realized we had a soap dispenser pump that never worked. I checked out the hole and it was the right size. Power was already available under the sink. This product was not difficult to install, but you do have to take your time and make sure you understand the steps before you get started. The unit was light weight, but well built. The sink top unit was top notch and nearly matched our existing faucet. I added the water filter as well, which was also easy to install and connect to the unit. After setup, 30 minutes later had piping hot water. So hot, it was boiling ad pushing steam out the countertop unit. I had to back the heat off just a little and now we have excellent hot water anytime and no need to refill the countertop unit when it gets empty……oh yeah….more counter space because this thing isn’t sitting on top taking up space. I would definitely recommend this product.

Love having instant hot water for tea, works great!

The unit works well. It makes nice hot water that's great for tea, ramen, or french press coffee. It's simple to use and matches the rest of my kitchen fixtures well. So I'm overall pretty happy with it. Installation was pretty difficult though. The water lines for it aren't very long so finding a place to fit it in the cramped area under my kitchen sink was difficult. It also doesn't include all of the hardware necessary to install it. It's missing a tee connection to hook up the cold water supply line. The instructions given with the unit are not at all clear on what kind of tee you need so it took me two trips to the hardware store and about an hour to get the right part.

Works great easy to install very hot water love it

Buy as a set (faucet and heater), it then comes with everything you need to install in a standard kitchen sink with an accessory hole. We used the one traditionally used for a soap dispenser. The power cord is short, about 30", so you are limited in installation location under your sink. The faucet comes with attached tubing, all you have to do is snap/slip them on. Only tool needed is a screwdriver to put the provided mounting screws into the wall.

Work as expected. The only thing I think it is missing is that it assumes u will install the filter with this product so it did not come with all the connecting part u might need. In my case luckily I had some spare parts from previous tanks so I installed it with no issue but u might have to go for another hardware store trip to get the part u need I like the faucet but u have to be very careful as hot water can come out very strange and splash over your hands

Ease of use and less likely to break down due to wear in tear due to the pull down action vs twisting.

Specification didn’t mention that the voltage was not compatible with British standards. I have a plumber today to install it and he pointed out that the unit is for American voltage system. How can you sell such products in the uk without showing voltage?

product heats water well

Totally worth it for instant hot water. Awesome for tea, instant soups, cooking, etc.
