Our's is about 20 years old now. Getting kinda touchy in its old age, but we've alredy purchased the replacement ($600 at Home Depot), the exact same design, it must be pretty good to have lasted this long. It's sitting in the box until such time as I get brave and install it, or chicken out and pay someone to do it for me. Ours runs on Natural Gas. They don't cost a dime until you need hot water, so true pay as you go, no standby. Shower gets hot within 30 secs. And yes, you never run out of hot water. We would never go back to a tank.
