InSinkErator Stainless Steel Tank, HC250MBLK-SS HOT250 System, 2-Handle Drinking Faucet in Matte Black with 2/3-Gallon, Filter-Compatible Instant Hot/Cold Water Dispenser

Exactly what we needed to replace our old Instanthot. Works extremely well. Heats up fast and water runs quite quickly.

If you are comfortable putting a new faucet onto a sink then this should be no trouble for you. A pro plumber should have no trouble at all. All you need is a spare hole in the counter where you want the hot tap to go, and a 115v socket under the sink where you want the main unit to go. Keep in mind that the socket will need to be hot at all times to keep the water in the tank hot. My socket was switched so that it controlls the garbage disposal. I was replacing my disposal at the same time, so I added an insinkerator countertop switch (requires another spare countertop hole). Now I just leave the wall switch on, which keeps the HOT150 powered, and use the counter switch to turn the disposal on & off. If i want the hot water off like if I'm off on vacation, I can just flip the wall switch. If you don't have a countertop hole for this, you might need to rewire your under-sink socket so it has a switched socket, and an always-hot socket.The water lines provided are somewhat short, so I got a 18in piece of braided stainless hose and adapted it to the lines from the unit. The unit uses a 1/4" copper tube as its main feed line, so you will need to purchase a T-fitting to add a new outlet on your sink's supply to feed the unit, and a compression fitting for the copper line, plus whatever other tubes and adapters. In my setup I have a standard sink tee->braided hose->stepdown adapter->compression fitting. you may wind up with something a little different depending on if you need the extra hose and what fittings your store carries.once you have all the connection bits its really plug and play: drop the faucet in from the top, screw the unit to the wall, plug in the lines from the faucet to the unit, connect the copper feed to the sink supply. Then you flush the unit for a couple of min and plug it in. Job done.In operation its pretty simple. I didn't flush as carefully as the instructions say and I did get some gurgling noise when its heating for the first day or two. I also found that when turned all the way up it actually boils the water inside. Possibly due to some air pockets, but I'd leave it set at 75% or lower to start, as it can definitely heat up above 212deg in some cases. safer to start on the cool side and bump it up till you get the temp you want. After I got the temp dialed in and the air flushed out its been quiet and excellent. I live a lone so I'm making single drinks at a time - I don't know if larger families might find the reservoir too small.Overall if basic plumbing (and possibly a little electric work) don't bother you this should be easy to install and seems to be a nice unit.

I never thought I would be so impatient that I didn't want to wait for my microwave to heat up a cup of water for my tea. Well, I am. I turned my laundry nook into a beverage center, and when I saw these advertised, I was sold. I had it professionally installed, which I would recommend, because my plumber scratched his head a few times while getting it set up. It works wonderfully, and I am drinking more tea. It has an added bonus of being able to melt the glue on any price sticker within 5 seconds, then they peel right off.

Replaced a competitor's model that lasted less than two years. Hoping that Insinkerator's quality is better than their competitors. So far, so good. Piece of cake to install and it has a temporary "on" for the hot water - I like that feature.It does take a split second for the hot water to flow and the tank sometimes burps, but no where near as bad as the competitor's.

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 well. Love the hot water when we make coffee in the morning. And when we have company for hot drinks.

I recently installed the InSinkErator H-HOT150SN-SS Instant Hot Water Dispenser in my kitchen, and it has been a game-changer for my daily routine. This dispenser provides hot water instantly, which is incredibly convenient for making tea, coffee, or even speeding up meal prep.The installation process was straightforward, and the unit fits neatly under the sink without taking up too much space. The satin nickel finish on the dispenser faucet looks sleek and modern, complementing my kitchen decor beautifully.One of the standout features is the adjustable temperature control, allowing me to set the water temperature to my preference. The hot water is delivered consistently and quickly, which saves me time and energy compared to using a kettle or microwave.The dispenser is also energy-efficient, as it only heats the water when needed, reducing overall energy consumption. The tank capacity is sufficient for my household's needs, and I appreciate the safety features that prevent accidental dispensing of hot water.Overall, the InSinkErator H-HOT150SN-SS Instant Hot Water Dispenser is a high-quality and reliable product that adds convenience and efficiency to my kitchen. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their kitchen tasks with instant hot water access.

I am on my third one of these. They are great and put out hot water instantly everytime with the ease of pushing a lever. They are easy to install without much experience. They are usually installed under the cabinet so you don’t see them but if you had to install it in plain sight they don’t look bad with the plastic housing. It’s a convenient small size for how much hot water they produce on demand. As it being my third one I have noticed they last about 5 years before the seal is compromised and allows air into the system and won’t allow to build pressure to push water out. This is the best value I could find and definitely worth it for 5 years os use.
