With a 4-gallon capacity, it's ideal for small spaces like under-sink installations. Its 98% thermal efficiency ensures minimal energy waste, making it a cost-effective choice.

The EcoSmart ECO 11 is a compact, tankless electric water heater designed to provide endless hot water on demand, making it a great choice for smaller applications like a single bathroom, office sink, or breakroom. Its 13 kW power supports a flow rate of 1.3 to 3.1 gallons per minute, which means it can supply enough hot water for low-flow needs but might struggle if you want to run multiple showers or large appliances at once.

The product is also very small, about 11.5 x 8 x 3.75 inches, and can be mounted on a wall or near the point of use, saving valuable space in tight areas. It has a user-friendly LED display to help you control water temperature within 1 degree, ensuring consistent performance.

With a 19.2 kW power rating and a maximum flow rate of about 2 gallons per minute, it can handle multiple bathroom uses but may struggle with very large households needing simultaneous showers.
