I do, especially for your situation with a large household.

Where do you live? You should really consider hitting a home depot for those clearance hue starter kits with the 3 colored bulbs. You'll likely want hue as an integral part of your home theatre.
Eta check the last few posts in the wink thread for more info.

This is a booster, it is suppose to kick in when you tank type heater drops below 110 and turns back off once the tank type water rises above 110. The issue with electric boosters and electric tankless units are they require so much power to run. Most require a additional service to meet the need and have a very hard time keeping up with the demand. If I'm not mistaken this units Draws 30amps so you would have to make sure you have room in your current panel to power this unit. GPM's for this unit is 8gpm.
All and all, I'm not a fan of electric water heaters and I would never use a electric tankless unit.

I have not used one of those personally, but to me, it looks like nothing more than a very small on-demand water heater that mounts downstream of your existing water heater. as I see it, the only thing that it can possibly do is raise the temp of the water coming out of your water heater by a few degrees, which would lower your demand and make your water last longer.
the issue that I have with this device is that you can do exactly the same thing by raising the temp setting on your water heater by 5 degrees or so....
another thing that makes me suspicious is the fact that each positive review of this device contains a note that the device was provided to them free of charge.

Water requires a set amount of energy to increase 1 gal 1 degrees. So you either get a high Btu or kW heater (instanteous) or a tank for storage with a low Btu r kW unit. The tank give u capacitance
Adding the tank buddy will go ce additional storage but it nice the water is gone you have to wait for the water to regain n heat
Another way to cheat is raise the temp on the water heater so you need less hot water to mix with the cold water. Only do this is no little ones in the house for scald protection

Just upgrade to tankless if you son is taking that long to jack it in the shower.

Install a tv in the shower so he can watch porn in there and cut 75% off his tug times.
