I know nothing about them but probably handy enough to install one.
Will be running master bathroom...shower, 2 sinks and tub. Not sure about what size I'd need or anything.

Cost more than you will save with them

Best thing i ever put in my house. Always have hot water. And can take hot showers for as long as you like and the water never gets cold.

Only thing to watch for is you will need to flush it or have it flushed every year. The coils get buildup and the heat exchange reduces.
This is what I'm told as being the only issue.

The gas ones are great. Electric ones, not so much. They pull a lot of power. Like I said the gas ones are fantastic, especially if there are a lot of women in your house that like to take long hot showers.

I put 2 gas Takagi brand ones in when I built my current house. Haven't had any problems for the 5.5 years, so far.
Haven't heard anything about "flushing" it.
Didn't put them in to "save money".. I put them in to save room and for efficiency.

Do you frequently run out of hot water with your current setup? Or at least run out enough that it bothers you? If not, dont mess with a tankless.

I have a Rinnai gas unit that has been in my house 10 years and have had zero problems with it. I have flushed it out one time. Have an outlet outside the house where I can wash my car with hot water.

I have a gas tankless. Don't know anything about installing it or potential problems. But I haven't had any issues since moving in 2 years ago and have an endless supply of hot water.

Gas = Great
Electric = shite

Check in to a recirculating system to go with it. Probably add $200 to the cost.
One poster called it instant hot water, and they are anything but. It is endless, but slow to heat up. The recirculating system will keep it where it will get hot quicker.

I've had electric in my house and my camp for 20+ years. No issues. Never run out of hot water. Also use electric in my processing plant. Been running it for 12 years. Once again. No issues. Absolutely love them.

Love the constant hot water, but that's only after the pipes empty. Which, in my master bath, takes a good 3-5 minutes.
If you have the option to put it in the middle of your house/lines, i would definitely do that.
