Review: Very good purchase! - I’ve had the Stiebel Eltron DCE-X 10/12 kW Premium for one month now and it’s been an absolute game-changer for my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. From day one the water temperature is rock, no temperature swings, just instant hot water exactly when I need it. The digital display and touch controls are super intuitive, and the unit reacts instantly when I adjust the flow or temperature. I installed the unit myself and it was really straightforward. I only had a qualified electrician come in to check the wiring and make the final connection to meet UK legal requirements. It’s whisper-quiet in operation, and the build quality feels truly premium- exactly what you expect from Stiebel Eltron. Energy efficiency is excellent too. If you’re tired of mediocre tankless heaters, do yourself a favour and get this one. Best purchase I’ve made for the house this year. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good but....
*by R***O on 18 December 2023*

It runs very expensive compared to the standard electric shower. Even if I use the ECO mode, the electric shower still runs cheaper. Great solution though for sinks, basins in areas out of the gas grid.
