We do not have one here, although before we moved here (we were living in Panama) they are widely used and we had one in our home there. We are considering installing one when/if our current tank needs to be replaced.

Ours was propane powered and it was a cheap (about $200) Chinese brand and our plumber installed it for $50. I know these rates cannot compare to here and if we have one installed here I will be looking for a better quality unit. The big problem that I had with ours in Panama was that it was very hard to regulate the water temperature--it was usually either too hot or too cold and if I ever did find the perfect temperature it would usually be good for only a few minutes and then get either too hot or to cold. I attribute this to our unit being a cheapo one (only type available on our remote island) and the fact that our water pressure was not always reliable.
