The good points regarding this water heater -- Its operation is very economical as it uses very little propane. I have given it a star to recognize its economy.The bad points regarding this water heater -- The water heater shuts down and restarts frequently. This leads to invigorating showers as it alternately produces about 90 seconds of hot water, then about 60 seconds of cold water. Based on what the service techs have told me and the troubleshooting methods they provided, it seems that the unit overheats, shuts down, and restarts after it cools down. The best guess is that the temperature of my incoming water is too high, and the water heater is not capable of heating a little. Being in Hawaii, my incoming water temperature is about 70 degrees. If you get your water as runoff from a glacier, you may find it works just fine.- The water heater demands a fairly high rate of water flow to activate. This means that it does not activate to heat water when running our Whirlpool washing machine. To get hot water into the washer requires turning on a hot water tap and letting it run long enough for the water to heat, and keeping the tap on as long as the washer is filling. Likewise, the flow into our Bosch dishwasher is too low to activate the water heater. This means the internal (electric) water heater in the dishwasher works to bring the water to the necessary temperature, wasting electricity.- It is slow to fire up. This means that, when handwashing dishes or the like, if you turn off the hot water you will get get cold water for a spell after the hot water sitting in the pipe has flowed out. As a result, you need to leave the hot water running continuously for such activities. I could understand a brief bit of cold water, but we are talking about 10 to 15 seconds of cold each time the hot water is turned off.- The water heater uses approximately 5 watts of electricity continuously, more when the exhaust blower is operating. This amount of electric usage is ridiculous and goes far to offset the claimed efficiency.My experiences with this and my Bosch dishwasher have completely disillusioned me on Bosch appliances and I will avoid them in the future.4 of 7 people found the following review helpful.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!By Amy S. WoodallAfter purchasing an Aquastar 125LP unit, which was defective from the factory, we were "upgraded" to this unit at a discount rate because apparently Bosch discontinued the production of the Aquastar 125LP unit. After 2 months of use, the digital control panel went blank...so we called Bosch. They will not deal with homeowner's...only the people who installed the unit...this equals a service call for the gas company and the plumbing company just to tell Bosch the unit was installed correct. I am sure the unit was installed correct, because it worked great for two months. I asked them to send a Bosch representative so they could inspect the unit for themselves...they do not have service representatives in the field. At this point, we are cutting our losses and purchasing a water heater that is not made by Bosch.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM BOSCH!!!!By James L. DoranI BOUGHT A BOSCH TANKLESS WATER HEATER AND IT NEVER WORKED RIGHT. TRIED TO GET HELP FROM BOSCH AND GOT A BUNCH OF LIES. FINALLY THEY TOLD ME TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO ADJUST THE BURNERS. IT COST $150 FOR THIS GUY TO COME OUT AND COULD NOT ADJUST IT TO FACTORY SPECS. TALKED TO ANOTHER REPAIR PERSON WHO SAID BOSCH WATER HEATERS WERE JUNK AND THE ONLY THING TO DO WAS REPLACE IT. IT COST ME $1300 TO FIND OUT THIS WAS A PIECE OF JUNK. I HOOKED UP MY OLD WATER HEATER AND THERE IS NO MORE PROBLEMS. READ COMSUMERS REPORT TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT TANKLESS WATER HEATERS. ALSO BOUGHT A BOSCH SAWZALL AND IT BROKE DOWN WITH IN MONTHS. GUESS WHAT, BOSCH WOULDN'T STAND BEHIND THAT EITHER.See all 4 customer reviews...Bosch 2400ES LP AquaStar 6.4-GPM Indoor Tankless Liquid Propane Water Heater
