My grandparents have an on-demand hot water system. It's not nearly as awesome as Mike Holmes makes them sound. Of course, I'm thinking theirs is a bit old and/or generally kind of crappy.
If you turn on the shower you're greeted with 30 seconds of icy water followed by an instant introduction to water warmed in the Fires of Hell. No in between and it's tough to find a happy temperature in between.
I have been told by friends of European descent that such hot water heaters have been in use there for a long time with little fanfare and few problems.
