DAORDAER 110/120v 1.5kw Mini Tank Electric Water Heater 2.5 Gallon Compact Under Sink Water Heater Knob Temperature Adjustment Instant Hot For Home Kitchen (2.5 Gallon - Gray)

I love this thing. I’m using it in my RV and it is perfect for my needs. Be aware, all these Chinese water heaters are essentially the same (often exactly the same) and they all use threaded fittings that are of a sort not normally used in North America. To avoid issues, use their included braided lines (their base fitting is not like US faucet lines even though they look the same). That line does end in a more standard 3/8 compression fitting and if you need to attach to something of another size, you can get a North American adapter at a hardware store.How long will it last? Let’s be honest, at this price point, a year or two might be all I should expect.It heats fast, delivers that water right where you want it, and I have no complaints.

Este es un excelente producto pude pasar la inspección de mi food trailer muy fácil por la capacidad que tiene de calentar el agua

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fit the space and works perfectly.Undervalued . Worth more with the added parts.

UPDATED REVIEW ON JUNE 15TH 2025 - This water heater only lasted 6.5 months..It stopped producing hot water on 6/14-2025. I have not removed it from under the kitchen counter. The thermostat is set to the halfway mark as it's been since it was installed in November 2024. I do not know if the heating element burned out already so soon or what went bad on it. It is just dead and another thing is that when this water heater was working the hot water pressure was very weak compared to my old one. This water heater was obviously NOT designed as a long term solution.I live in a rural area in the desert that has high mineral content. I had 2 water heaters burst in one day! The first one was a 30 gal. that caused much damage to the wooden floor. I turned off the water supply at the road and by passed the water heater with some spare 3/4 tubing and fittings I had in my shed. I then turned on the water supply again and verified that my makeshift bypass job was not leaking. When I walked into my kitchen, there was another flood of water all over the floor. It turned out that my 2 gal. water heater under the kitchen sink had also decided to join in and sprung a leak at the bottom as well.Thought it might be a PRV so checked water PSI and it was 55 PSI which is normal out here. Autopsies on both heaters revealed massive corrosion and rust on the bottom of both. The new DAORDAER is much much lighter then the old one in weight but works well for the kitchen. The only complaint I have is that the electrical cord is woefully short and will not reach the outlet so I am using an extension cord until I fabricate or buy a dedicated extension cord for it. I plan on flushing it out every 6-12 months after seeing the damage our water causes to these appliances. So far so good on the water heater.

This is a good water heater.It absolutely puts out 2.5 gallons of hot water. (No more and no less.)Cons:Becareful with connections. Too tight can break it and many plastic connections co not go well with tape.

Installed under my sink, works perfectly

This water heater has an excellent price and works well, but it is tricky to install. I hired professional plumbers to do the installation. The company sent out two very young plumbers and they did what looked like an excellent job, but the water flow was never right. It was much weaker than the cold water side of the same faucet, and before they added this heater the hot water side flowed just as strong as the cold. The flow would vary from weak, to weaker, and finally it would just drip. And you could not predict when you would get a weak flow and when you would just get drips or dribbles. I called the owner of the plumbing company and he came out to take a look. The problem was the pressure relief valve sent out by the manufacturer. The young plumbers installed it on the hot water discharge side and they should have installed it on the cold water inlet side. However, the print on the manufacturer's instructions was so tiny that I needed a magnifying glass to read about this detail! The hot water heater now works fine, and I would give it five stars if this important part of the instructions had been presented in a way that my plumber and I could read it without a magnifying glass. Addendum in May 2025: Our first heater worked so well after the installation was corrected that we ordered another one. When it arrived, I saw that the installation instructions have been vastly improved. They are clearer now, and they are printed on good paper in a size that is easy to read.

Very good product 👌
