## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lack of directions to access the wiring lugs required a phone call to Rheem Tech Service
*by W***N on May 4, 2025*

I've had several versions of the Rheem point of use tankless water heaters, but this is the first time that I have had to phone Rheem Tech Service for assistance. The directions for electrical connection leave out critical information - How to remove the cover in order to access the connectors. Turns out there are 3 small screws on the water connection side that must be removed in order to remove the cover. Otherwise, works as intended to provide hot water to my laundry utility sink.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality
*by L***E on September 10, 2025*

This was a breeze to install as long as you know a few tricks. The electric is fed into the case via a 1/2 electrical conduit fitting. To access the wire connections, simply remove the 3 screws on the bottom of the case and lift the cover off. The unit produces good hot water instantly. Very happy with the results.

### ⭐ Buyer beware under-sink Insta-cold Rheem
*by P***N on July 12, 2025*

This unit replaced the same Rheem model number that lasted two years. This direct replacement unit lasted 90 seconds and then shut down.Being a garage sink it was not a high priority to fix. After hours (over several weeks) on the phone with Rheem customer support there was still no resolution. They sent me many pages of Troubleshooting Directions. But nothing helped. Since efforts took so long I’m no longer able to return it.I took the hit financially. Cold water only for the foreseeable future.
