To me, if your goal is to save money, the initial cost of an appliance is more important than speculating on how long you think something will last.
I have my tankless installed in my laundry room, my washer is very happy and since the bathroom is only 50 feet from the laundry room it works great, my wife has to wait a little longer because her bathroom is 250 feet away, but she’s very patient and doesn’t mind the 45 second wait. I’m just happy we have 2 bathrooms
