About this product
An instant electric heater only works if the circuit behind it can carry the current: at 220V, 5500W draws roughly 25A and 3000W about 14A, so the breaker, the cable cross-section and the outlet all have to match the version you pick. This unit is built for 220V mains and is not a dual-voltage appliance; a step-up transformer from 110V is not a practical way to run it. Installation is wall-mounted and involves water and mains wiring, so plan for a qualified electrician. Confirm the rated power on the nameplate with the seller before ordering, and decide whether the 3000W mode is enough for your shower room.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Two power settings, so a weaker circuit can still run it on 3000W
- Wall mounted unit saves floor space in a small bathroom
- Heats on demand instead of storing a tank of hot water
- 220V single-phase supply, common in most of the world
Cons
- 5500W needs roughly 25A, so a standard 10A or 16A circuit will trip
- Not a dual-voltage unit: running it from 110V needs a large transformer, which is not advisable
- Requires plumbing plus fixed wiring, so installation is a job for an electrician
- Lower setting means less hot water per minute in cold weather
