Customer Reviews

Liked it but wish it was more reliable
1st tank cracked and leaked after about 2 years. Second tank had different fittings and the fitting are now leaking (2 more years). New tanks have different fitting agian and I am trying to decide if it is worth replacing the tank or just getting a different brand.

Works well until it breaks after warranty
The H770 is a small water heater with a dedicated faucet delivering 190F water. Seems like a simple idea that doesn't take rocket science to design. I have had 2 of these units, the first lasted 5 years, the next 4 years and they fail the same way, the tank leaks and creates a mess. Now, I'm looking at a 3rd unit after 9 years of using these products. I have whole home water heaters cost 2x this heater, require $100 professional installation, but lasts over 4-5x longer. Newer models are not drop in replacements either, as there are minute valve position changes, meaning another $100 professional labor cost if I didn't do it myself. Per instructions, it takes about 1 hour for a professional to install, and that includes working is a tight space underneath a kitchen sink. Now, the maker claims that the H770, like any water heater, wears out with time, and that's a given. However, instant hot water is less a necessity than a whole home water heater. Its easier to use an electric thermo pot, is far cheaper and easily serviced or replaced by a consumer and they last for decades. Lastly, a thermo pot can be filled with better filtered or bottle water rather than relying on pure tap water, as the H770 does [there is a filtered water version, but its otherwise a similar apparatus.] If you are aware this product lasts to 5 years and are willing to endure the replacement labor and cost, by all means, otherwise this product cannot be recommended.

COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!
I have had two of these units in the 15 years that we have had our kitchen. The first unit lasted about 9.5 years, the second one lasted only 5.5 years. If I remember correctly, the first one had a stainless metal tank, this one has a white plastic tank and has apparently been leaking for a couple of years as there was a lot of mineral buildup at the lower electrode where it enters the plastic tank and a lot of internal rusting of the sheet metal tank housing. I was fortunate to see a small puddle under the tank, and upon further observation with a bright light, I could see rust marks on the OUTSIDE of the sheet metal tank! My water is softened, so I do not have any problems at all with hard water. Since I install appliances as part of my business, and since I many times have the "say" on what recommendations of brands my customers have me install in their kitchens, I am definately NOT going to recommend INSINKERATOR any more! What used to be a quality product is now a waste of money!

BEWARE, if you have one of these units, CHECK IT COMPLETELY BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP TO BE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO LEAKS WHATSOEVER (a bright light helps, along with removing the front panel, AFTER UNPLUGGING the unit).
