I have five adults here, including myself. It's adequate for our needs. We've had it since December 2022. Had a bit of a problem sourcing the correct vent pipes locally, wound up ordering them. It has, IIRC, a 2.5" or maybe 3" exhaust... And I need to descale it again. Can't adjust the temperature down enough right now. for a while I had it set for the perfect shower temperature without needing to turn on cold water. Descaling will probably fix that again. It's our second tankless. First was a Takagi  T-Kjr2 which lasted several years, but crapped out eventually, and parts were either expensive or unobtanium.  It was computer controlled. and apparently the computer flaked out. And if you self-install either one, you void the warranty. Both of mine were self-installed. IF I do this again, I'll let Home Depot or Lowes install the next one. Which will be a great deal more expensive, but I'm getting a bit too rickety myself to do this again. I hope, sometime in the next couple of years, to install a water softener so I don't need to keep descaling the poor things. Hope this helps!</blockquote>
