We researched them when we built our house and decided on a recirculating pump on our water heater instead. We always have hot water quickly even at the remote end of the house without wasting water trying to get it hot. I did not like the idea of taking up space under a bathroom sink for the tankless ones. We put the water heater in the garage where there is a drain if it ever leaks.
