Neither the description on this page nor the manual that came with my unit make it clear how much hot water at what temperature this heater puts out. The following measurements will help anyone considering purchasing this unit get an idea of what to expect: (inlet water was 58-degrees F.)
81-degrees at 5.7 gallons per minute (barely warm)
108-degrees at 2.7 gallons per minute (mildly warm)
114-degrees at 2.5 gallons per minute (comfortably warm for washing dishes)
117-degrees at 2.3 gallons per minute (hot, but still comfortable to hold your hands in)
120-degrees at 2.2 gallons per minute (hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold your hand in but not nearly hot enough to burn)
Assume that if your inlet water is 10 degrees cooler then the output will be 10 degrees cooler as well. What this means is that in winter with water close to freezing you'll need to run this heater dead slow to get warm water. Regular showerheads use 5 gallons per minute. Low flow showerheads reduce that to 2.5 gallons per minute. Super low flow camping showerheads may get down to as little as 2 gallons per minute. Use these numbers to determine if one of these units will supply enough hot water for your needs.
After three hours of use with the gas flow turned on to maximum my unit starts turning off at shorter and shorter times. By 4 hours of use it's on less than 2 minutes before it shuts off. The problem appears to be caused by the pressure in the propane tank (one of the exchange tanks from Walmart) dropping too low. Turning the gas flow to halfway lets the unit function for another hour, but then even at that setting run times drop off quickly.

I bought this heater to provide warm/hot water to wash the horses. They love it and so do I. Easy to install and works great. In fact, the smaller unit would have provided enough hot water....this one can do two at a time!!!!
I have already recommended this product to many other horse people so they too can have happy horses.
Unit also seemed to be of high quality construction.

I have been using my L10 for about 2 months now and am very happy with both it and the Eccotemp customer service. I bought the heater to supply water for a shower and sink in a new bathroom. I didn't have capacity or space for a standard electric or gas heater -- or the money for a bigger name brand on-demand water heater. I was delighted when I found the Eccotemp L10 but nervous because I have low water pressure and live in a high wind area. (Both of these conditions were stated as possible problems for this water heater.)
This bathroom project was completely a DIY project. I am a 53 year old woman with no previous plumbing experience. I was able to install the unit myself just using the instructions provided by the company. My installation included attachment to a hard pipe instead of using the garden hose. Customer service went way above and beyond the call of duty in supporting my installation. I had a couple of problems with operation that they patiently helped me resolve. It now runs reliably from a standard barbecue size propane tank. (Turns out if the tank regulator has any internal wear or damage, it won't operate the unit properly -- even if the tank continues to operate a barbecue.)
The unit has been attached on an outside wall of the bathroom. As such, it is partially sheltered from the wind but continues to operate consistently in windy conditions. While I did have some problems adjusting the temperature of the water from the shower, they were related to a low water pressure situation. Setting the unit properly and removing the low-flow restrictions from the shower head solved those problems.
All in all, I am delighted with the unit. It was an inexpensive solution to the problem of getting hot water to a new location. Sometimes I wish I had a remote control for the unit . . . but since I didn't want to pay the big bucks for a more sophisticated solution I certainly got everything (and more) than I paid for!
