This Sharp model WHN-115, which I
bought from Jintex Credit in
Seapark here is reliable .

Nonpump, cost $ 195.

Bought in December 2018, when my
brother shifted out, dismantled his
Joven, left nothing behind for me.
Even took the water pail away.

Quite hot. Most times I set the temperature knob at between
9 to 10 o'clock when bathing.

At that setting, I calculated the
power consumption is between
975 to 1,350 watts. Good enough for me.

On a hot afternoon, turn to the
lowest, 8 o'clock, 600 watts, or shut
off altogether.

Every one o'clock step will burn
375 watts.

If you turn it to between one to
two o'clock like most people do,
it would be burning 2,400 to 2,800 watts, worse than an electric kettle.

They have a pump model, over $ 400.

Initially I was trying to save money
and buy Midea, $ 130 to 160, but
luckily I read the reviews - " Hopeless. Lukewarm at maximum setting. "

The only drawback is, the water- sensitive switch isn't good enough.
It requires a minimum pressure of 3 PSI to trip it, or 2 liters a minute.

Panasonic's one is more sensitive -
just 1.8 PSI, or 1.2 liters a minute.


Seems they have two models with
pump, WHP-315 and -219.

This is just $ 375.
