Sort of. But, a tank water heater works the same way. If you have a large enough tank and heating element for the volume you use, you will never run out of hot water. So, in terms of never running out of hot water, both systems can achieve the same result. If you have a large family and a small tankless water heater, you will run out of hot water.
