What temp does it reach and does it take long to reach top heat.

ive got it on low. when i turned it up i couldnt put my hands under the water flow. i didnt want it too hot im worried about damaging the windows im washing. as for how long it takes to get warm initially about 10 mins thats to get the hot water through 100metres of hose . but once the waters hot in the hose its not to long tbh . only been going since last dec and im hoping this is gonna benefit me this winter . i dont know what its gonna cost per month so thinking of only using it when i have to and not as a luxury. boom boom i hope not lol

I have been using one for the past three winters, wouldn't be without it.

When it gets down to -4 /-5 and you are still workingyou will be glad you got it.

One thing i would suggest is that when it gets down to minus whatever turn your water on and run back into the top of your tank before pulling any hose out, this helps to stop your hose freezing on the ground before you get hot water through..

i got this one from usa, its a little expensive due to the shipping costs, but it has no cut off, a 5 year warrenty, not that is would be worth sending back because of the shipping costs, and it seems to work really well, fires up as soon as the water is turned on and get the waster hot really quickly.
