Eccotemp EM-2.5 2.5-Gallon Electric Mini-Tank Review

The Eccotemp EM-2.5 is a 2.5-gallon mini-tank electric water heater designed for point-of-use applications at remote fixtures. Differs from the L-series outdoor propane units in Eccotemp's lineup — this is an indoor electric mini-tank for under-sink installation.

Specs: 2.5 gallons stored, 1440W heating element on 120V outlet, recovery rate ~6 gallons per hour, ENERGY STAR certified. About 11" diameter × 16" tall. The 120V power requirement is the install advantage — works on any standard outlet without 240V circuit work.

Right uses: bathroom sink in a finished basement far from the main water heater, secondary kitchen sink, wet bar, workshop utility tap. The 2.5-gallon reservoir is adequate for handwash and dish-rinse use but inadequate for any sustained shower demand.

About $180 unit, $300-$450 installed. 5-year warranty on the tank. The EcoSmart ECO MINI 2.5 is a similar competing product at slightly lower price — both serve essentially identical use cases. Eccotemp's positioning is value-oriented, with parts available through their direct customer service rather than retail channels.
