The hot water exiting from the tankless is almost instantaneous as soon as you turn your faucet on and a flow is established.
Even if in the same location, tankless heaters have always taken longer to deliver hot water than tanks do. I'm asking my questions of folks who have compared the two, and about the newest tankless models.
