Interesting, I refused to have one when our bathroom was redone a couple of years ago as I knew 3 people with them who all said that if somebody else draws water in the house then the shoer is affected, is that still true of the latest models.?

I don't know - but it effects the electric shower reduces the flow and the water gets suddenly hotter i end up doing the fandango dance and screaming like a girl ...

Yes and not only that by the time the water has heated through the secondary heat exchanger gallons have already gone down the sink that's aside from reliability of them

It has to be beer or a powerful red, Chianti or Rioja work. My youngest's bloke drinks white but I end up thinking its water and after 3 bottles end up plastered.

You enter what a kwatt/hr cost and it will tell you what an old appliance cost to run. Or anything that plugs into the wall really. My brother is going in half and among half a dozen homes in the extended family it sohould be a good investment.
