So yes, its true that you 'never run out of hot water' which is awesome in case you decide to channel your inner Cosmo Kramer and choose to live in your shower, but otherwise its a real pain in the ass.
As others have said the water takes forever to heat up and doesnt get as hot as a normal water tank.

Locke - get them to check the unit - there should be an adjustable temperature control on it. i know ours gets almost scalding hot if you want. one downer is i think the unit resets after it loses power - so if the power goes out you have to put it back to the temp you like
