Great When Not Leaking March 15, 2010
steven (Florida)
I like this unit when it works but like the Hot1 unit it replaced it does have some significant design problems. I purchased the SST-FLTR along with the hot/cold brushed stainless dispenser as the F-HC1100BC set in August 2007 from Insinkerator when the Hot1 unit I purchased from Home Depot started to leak after only 3 months. They were kind enough to offer me a great price under their customer care program and I was very happy with the new unit for 2 years. I started to notice some rust on the bottom of paint cans I was keeping under the sink, but didn't notice the heater dripping and it was still working fine. 4 months later I had to do some touch up painting and pulled out the paint cans now completly rusted on the bottom and the newspapers I kept them on were soaked. Called Insinkerator to tell them about the problem and got most of the same poor customer service answers that you have read about in other reviews. I did unplug the unit and put a bucket under it but continued to use the cold side for filtered drinking water as I waited to decide if I would replace the unit. I finaly decided to purchase a new unit and took out the old one to take a closer look. It was quite easy to drain the SST-FLTR (screw on bottom# and take the gray plastic cover off of it #small screw on top) and slide the two halfs apart. Then it was just getting the styrofoam off and looking at the unit. Two spots on the front were covered in wet rust and i first thought the tank was leaking but after wondering why a plastic/silicone breather tube going to an overflow chamber on the top of the unit was so brown and discolored I found the problem. I couldnt believe that they allowed that tube to lay so close to the heat chamber. It was brown and dried out and when I looked at it closer it had a crack about an inch long in it. Wow, everything else on the unit was fine, but a 1 cent plastic/silicone tube and a couple of zip ties led to the demise of my heater tank. I hope they have fixed the flaw in newer units and I will be taking the new one apart when it arrives to check it. I havent decided if I'm going to try to reapir the old unit myself, but a short pice of fishtank air tubing and a couple of zip ties might be just the ticket.
 There must be a better option... March 13, 2010

Look, I love the convenience of having hot water without waiting for it to come from the hot water heater located at the other end of the house. But IMHO InSinkErator' s heaters are junk. They simply don't last more than a few months beyond the end of their warranty, and when they fail they drench the inside of your cabinets.
On a positive note, they have simplified connection so that you can replace a unit in less than a 5 minute job. But then, you get lots of practice replacing leaking units if you buy this product!
To other plumbing product suppliers, here is a great product opportunity. I would gladly pay twice the price for a heater that lasted 20 years rather than 3 years.

The heating unit failed after 3 months - trips my GFI when it's plugged in. I had the same experience with "warranty" coverage as others mentioned - you need to call their service person, and if they determine that it is not due to a manufacturing defect, you're on the hook for at least $115 for the service call. I installed it myself and do not need to pay someone more than I spent for the unit to replace it for me for "free".

DANGER- ELECTRICITY AND LEAKING WATER DON'T MIX! February 24, 2010

I purchased this when I built my home in 2001 from Home Depot. In 2008, it began to leak from the holding tank area. With a call to In Sink Erator, I was assured that the re-design (stainless steel water tank) prevented any leakage. They allowed me to purchase a replacement at a large discount. That one lasted only 2 years before it began leaking. Again a call to In Sink Erator, but this time, no response from them after requesting a supervisor to call me. Three months later, they called mentioning my complaint to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. I believe this is a dangerous product that could potentially kill someone.
