The unit has been running over 2 months now, so I thought it would be time to post a usage update. Combined with the previous posts it should give everyone a good idea of the operating costs and savings with this unit.

The average daily usage is about 0.5 kWh. This consists of 0.4 kWh per day and once every 14 days a Legionella prevention programme: About 2 kWh (75 Degrees C). I would guess that yearly usage will be around 200 kWh.

This is for 2 people and only includes shower and tap water. We have a Hansgrohe Eco showerhead (might be worth a separate review) and only really use warm water to wash the stuff that doesn't fit in the dishwasher: so we don't use that much water.

The unit is quite noisy standing next to it, but with the door closed I don't notice it. I'm also still very happy with the easy controls, it's a breeze changing anything.

We cut our hot water costs in half in comparison to the on demand gas heater. So all in all I would recommend the unit!
