 Warranty support problems with Insinkerator January 2, 2009
Please call Insinkerator and verify the warranty policy before purchasing and installing these types of products.
My poor rating is entirely related to the warranty service I attempted to obtain after my SST hot water dispenser quit working after 8 months of operation. During my contact with Insinkerator via the 1-800 number it was revealed that I must have have a copy of my receipt "for professional product installation."
Okay, what kind of a game is this? I do not have a receipt for installation, because I installed it myself using the instructions that were provided in the manual. The manual never specified professional installation required for warranty coverage.
On my further insistence on unit return and replacement, the customer service rep continued "We do not have a repair facility or shipping address. An Insinkerator selected plumber must be dispatched to your location. "You should be aware that you will be liable for the service call and the full unit replacement costs if it is determined the installation was not correct."
Okay, this is rubbish. The unit is a small, plastic, foam and very thin steel tank weighing less than a two pounds. It has two internal components, a 98 cent thermostat and heater element. The water flow is fine, so the thermostat or element quit. Why should a plumber be required to fix an ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?
At the time of purchase I was not aware of other alternatives. I now see that a simple electric hot water pitcher or heat-on-use hot water heater would have been better alternatives and have provided better warranty support.
My advice, keep looking.
 Insinkerator Instant Hot Water Dispenser December 16, 2008
This is my third Insinkerator instant hot water dispenser. This one is the 'new & improved" version. The tank is stainless, so hopefully it will outlast the two others. They each started leaking fter 7 or 8 years. This one was very easy to install, however as my old spigot had copper lines i did need a kit from Insinkerator to convert over (the new unit uses slip on silicone hose instead of bolt on copper). Insinkerator sent me the adaptor kit for free. Their customer service was GREAT. Took less than 2 minutes to talk to a person, and this was a weekend NIGHT.
The only drawback to this unit is that there is some noise from it as the water boils when heating.

This was a replacement tank for a earlier model that started leaking. This is a much better unit. It was easy to install and the temperature control is user friendly.
If you think plastic fittings are a good idea... October 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you think plastic fittings are a good idea around expensive cabinetry and hardwood floors, this is a the product for you. This model now has two "quick-connect" plastic fittings. My last ISE tank had one, the "Y" fitting connecting the copper pipes to the filter line. It failed after 3 years and soaked the cabinets and hardwood floors to the point of serious damage. Initially I thought I would just replace the "Y" connector, but then I realized that the tank itself showed obvious corrosion. I was determined to buy a different brand, but I was unable to locate a model that would work with the expensive Hot/Cold chrome dispenser/filter unit, so I held my nose and bought this model. It leaked immediately from the now plastic "Snap-Connect Fitting"" which is on the tube carrying the hot water to the dispenser. Yes, believe it or not, the connector on the tubing that carries 190 water is a plastic "Quick-Connect"! And when you call ISE, you'll discover their parts are available only through them. They will get them to you in 7-10 days, and you cannot expedite this by agreeing to pay the shipping costs yourself! If you buy this unit, protect your cabinetry and floors with a water alarm or bucket! I wish I had.
 doesn't work with previous faucets October 22, 2008

I had good luck with the previous version of this product- it lasted for 9 years before rusting out and leaking. This unit was the only one I saw that was sold with just the tank, and since my faucet works fine, I did not want to buy a new one. I purchased this one, and called a plumber to install it-- of course when he arrived, he said that will not work with the faucet because the new ones are all plastic, and the old ones were metal -- I assumed there would be a way to connect them. Since I had the plumber "on the clock" on just had him go get a new faucet and it was about $400 for just the least expensive faucet in basic chrome!! Not installed. Of course the good folks at Amazon sell it for around $250 but even Home Depot sells it for $375. Gotta love Amazon... I just wish I had realized the part about the faucet before wasting all the money.
On the water filter, I already had an everpure filtering system in place, so I skipped the one that comes with the water heater-- looks like that is a good thing as they charge a crazy amount for the replacement filter for the one that comes with this. Looks like they like to get you in the door with the water heater, and then take ya down with the faucet and finish you off with the water filter replacement. Just based on the heater, it looks fine.
