Looking into a on-demand water heater. The big tankless is on the other side of the house from the kitchen. It takes a very long time for hot water to get the the kitchen faucet and dishwasher. An on-demand would solve the problem ... but ... they do have problems. Some (BOSCH) need servicing every 6 months to examine the anode because they die very fast. Failure to do the check-up voids the "6 year warranty." Plus their customer service tends to be rude.

Bosch Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater Tronic 3000 T 2.5-Gallon (ES2.5) - Eliminate Time for Hot Water - Shelf, Wall or Floor Mounted - - Amazon.com

Other brands don't have that problem but annual maintenance disassembly is required.

What is your experience with these appliances?
 
I have no experience with these products, except in a lav.

Instead I recommend a recirculating system with a timer.
