Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater
Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 Mini-Tank Electric Water Heater Review
The Stiebel Eltron SHC 10 is a 10-gallon mini-tank electric water heater. The "SHC" line is Stiebel Eltron's storage mini-tank series. Premium positioning with vacuum-insulated tank construction.
Specs: 10 gallons stored, 1300W heating element on 120V outlet, recovery rate ~7 gph, vacuum-insulated stainless steel tank. UEF 0.94. About 17" diameter × 25" tall.
The 10-gallon capacity covers more demanding point-of-use applications than 6-gallon mini-tanks. Premium Stiebel Eltron engineering advantages versus competing brands (Bosch Tronic 7000C 10-gallon, AO Smith 10-gallon mini): better insulation reduces standby losses by ~40%, stainless tank construction, longer service life expectation.
About $500 unit, $650-$800 installed. Right buyer: point-of-use install where capacity exceeds 6-gallon needs and the premium engineering justifies the price (vs $290 for Bosch Tronic 7000C 10-gallon).
