InSinkErator HOT250 Instant Hot and Cold Water Dispenser System, 2-Handle Drinking Water Faucet in Satin Nickel with 2/3-Gallon, Filter-Compatible, Stainless Steel Tank, HC250SN-SS

This model is far better than previous models where the hot/cold levers pull outward to turn on. In previous models our cold side repeatedly broke (wouldn’t stay on by itself). This updated design not only looks nice, but the water flow is significantly more and is smooth and works so well. We are so happy with ours! PS: it would have taken my supply store 6 weeks to get this but Amazon had it to me in 2 days. Plumber installed. Easy to use. Hot water side has safety shut off.

My former hot water tank started leaking and was not repairable so I bought this one to replace it. It is super easy to install though a second set of hands can speed along the process. The faucet is also easy to install. It works perfectly to dispense instant hot water to rinse off dishes (great on greasy items), to warm up a cup before pouring coffee or tea, or get super hot water to boil for pasta. The hot water dispenser can also be used to rinse off sticky honey jars, loosen metal lids on glass jars, wet a cloth to clean counters and other areas, rinse off a serving spoon before reusing, heat a knife before cutting a flourless chocolate cake, or warming a spoon before digging into a rock hard carton of ice cream! Get it as you'll never imagine how you managed without one!

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.

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.

I have had Insinkerator hot water dispensers for more that 40 years in two homes. Each unit lasted 10 to 12 years. The version I just replaced was still providing hot water, but had begun to leak. In my current home, I replaced the original installed during construction in 2003 about 12 years ago. That was a very simple, straightforward replacement. The latest unit seemed like a straightforward replacement too, but there were complications. The main box mounted readily on the existing screws, and the mounting hardware provided for the faucet is the best yet. All good so far, but then I discovered that the copper tube for the main water supply was about 3 inches shorter than the previous model, and too short to reach the supply valve that had worked for the previous two units. After considering various options, I decided to splice on a few inches of 1/4" copper tubing. I cut some tubing from the old leaky unit, and also salvaged a 1/4" compression coupling from that unit. I had to purchase new ferrules (known as sleeves at Home Depot), requiring a trip to town, about 45 minutes round trip. Then I discovered that the 1/4" copper tubing that came with the new unit was in fact 0.27 inches. The compression nut and ferrule would not fit on the tubing. With about 15 minutes of work with steel wool, all of which was done under the sink, I reduced the diameter of the tubing sufficiently to install the nut and ferrule. All of this hassle increased what should have been a 30-minute job to about three hours. InSinkerator needs to think about these issues, and make sure their 1/4" copper tubing is in fact 1/4", not 0.27", and that the supply tube is the same length as earlier models--especially given that this is an item that has a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years.

So this is my fourth one that I purchased from Amazon for my home they are so good. They work well and they’re excellent one. The heat went out one. The electric went out. I don’t remember with the other two, but I don’t think that’s bad for my first install in 1990 and we use it all the time every day multiple times a day.

So far it’s working great. Just installed it and comes with temperature set 2 notches from max. I turned to down another 1/2 notch for it to be warm enough for what I like my tea to be.

I love these hot water faucets. I drink a lot of hot tea and it's so convenient to make. It's great for rinsing dishes and warming your dishwater. It comes to a boil very quickly for cooking pasta. I highly recommend this product. This is my 2nd one and don't go without 1 for long. My last one lasted for about 20 years and I immediately ordered a new 1 when it started to leak.

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

This was to replace the one we had. Works fantastic. Once you have this you will wonder how you lived without it before! No kettle to wait for, instant coffee, hot chocolate, tea ready in seconds.

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

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?
